Five clothing Items to add to your working week!

1. A crisp white shirt with this season massive bow to start your Monday...A great buy from Austin reed. Wear with waist coats, blazers and paired with trousers or skirts. This style can be worn casually with Jeans and pulled off nicely, accessorised for a classy weekend outing. And NO! You don't need to dig out the cufflinks -Don't be boring, carry your statement bag in the boldest colour you own- Yes RED!

Style advice : Be cautious if you're top heavy, the bow detail will only draw more attention to those areas and make you appear even heavier. Drawing attention at work to those heavy assets of yours might not produce the best results of your day! Think proportions... use the bow to disguise this by tying a knot instead of a bow, letting it hang down towards your stomach area, making you look slimmer and taller, hence drawing attention away from your bust area...Flexible aye?

I'm sure you own a white shirt, but do you have this Austin Reed bow tie detail white shirt? Was £60 now £12 - Now that's a bargain!





Tuesday couldn't come any sooner, with this stunning tailoring again by Austin Reed! Style crush! Now you don't have to bother about the excessive exposure of the sleeves and bust area apparent in most shift dresses found on the high street, making them almost unwearable to work - or forcing you to wear camisoles or blazers covering the true beauty of the shift dress.

There's nothing as classic as fine tailoring and nothing as timeless as neutral fabrics. I wonder why I brushed pass the red stunning shift dress for this conservative stunner - 'value for money' I guess. You will comfortably wear this over and over again and will be appropriate not only to work, meetings and corporate events but to classics parties and dinners while accessorising to suit the place or to create your own look.

Style advice: Great style for the high waisted and to show off gorgeous waist lines. You can still pull this off even if you haven't got a great waistline...Remember the gift of the underwear..did someone say 'Body Magic'. Note! High necks is not flattering on those who are top heavy or with short necks..Use accessories such as long necklaces or scarves to break up the chest area and give illusion of length or draw attention away.

You possibly own a shift dress, is it as wearable as this Austin Reeds Birdseye suit dress? Was £160 now £64 - Considering what it's worth, this is an absolute bargain!


The classic black trouser. How do you go into the week without one? 'Black trousers are to workers like a jersey to a footballer' - so then the quality and fit should come first. Most of us end up with loads of black trousers as we are never satisfied with the fit, length, fabric of the ones we have. A black trouser is worn all year round and suitable for work , parties and occasions - hence buy in the best quality you can afford.

  • A classic black trouser should be long enough almost to the ground of your standard heel length not your leg length.
  • The waist should not be too tight but not too loose leaving a gap at the back when you sit down (not a good look).
  • The classic work fabric should be made of natural fibres such as cotton, silk, viscose and wool, these are more durable,feels and looks better on the skin.
  • The most classic style is the boot cut.
Coast is known for their use of exquisite natural quality fabrics. This coast Daniella highwaisted bootcut trouser is well suited to all body types particularly the high waisted or bottom heavy body types. This also cinches your waist in and keeps excessive flesh tightly tucked in. It's long length and a decent work and occasion pair. Swap the cost saving Jane Norman this weekend for a more classy, quality option..with a price lower than the average pants was £85 now £39 - now this is what I call 'must get' - Mine's already on the way! What are you waiting for??



It's Thursday and the week is telling on you, you spend half the day wondering why it isn't Friday! Cheer up and dress up in a dress down way! It's warmer and the crop pants is huge this season. It's classic and puts 'chic' in your look without having to make so much effort.

This Coast Tyra trousers has been designed to suit all body types and to disguise areas we do not like. If you have short legs, put a heel on- as the amount of leg showing creates illusions of never ending legs and the long legged can wear smaller heels or flats and still look graceful and elegant. Whether you are bottom heavy or small -the turn-ups balances out your figure....This can also be worn to work or paired with your party top for a night out on the tiles! It's also not your standard black but can be paired with any colour- This five star rating piece was £80 now £39 and it's so worth it!!




TGIF - 'Thank God it's Friday' - arguably the most used words by workers around the globe! For those who enjoy the luxury of dressing down to Jeans on a Friday, remember the rule to look FAB even at that. If you have to dress down, dress down with the best pieces.

This classic Royal blue flare denim trousers from Reiss is a style that can be paired with flats and heels and still look amazing. The distinct, cut, colour, finish is style away from the others. Imagine pairing this with a lovely white crisp shirt,white tees or an orange silk blouse on a lovely night! Almost the same rules for selecting a black trouser apply to the blue jeans as this is your casual wardrobe classic.
