Abi Lynn @stealmystyle40 on Instagram joined me to talk about how to look put together when you need to wear casual and practical clothes. That's more or less all of us then!

This week Lisa was joined by podcast host, TV presenter and stylist Emma Lightbown to talk all things style. Emma mostly styles for TV and adverts and explains how the clothes the actors wear are crucial to telling the viewer who they are. This is also true in real life, what you wear tells a story about you. If you think about TV dramas, the characters are always dressed ina way that brings their character and back story to life so WE the viewer believe in their story. This is a great example of just how powerful visual/non-verbal communication really is! What you wear tells a story about you because that's a big part of how humans communicate with each other. We also discussed the changing face of the High Street - how it's so much harder to shop right now because so many shops are closing down. Emma shares her passion for Vinted shopping and we disagreed on the joys of shopping in TK Maxx! You've got to be in the mood to shop in there...! I hope you enjoy this week's episode.

A bit of a workwear special today - especially if you work in Corporate but these tips apply to any workplace. As I've mentioned many times on this podcast, what you wear matters. Clothes can be used as a tool for success and importantly as armour to help you look polished and professional and feel it inside. But that's not enough by itself. Of course you need to be good at your job as well as looking the part and this is the topic of discussion in today's podcast. If you work in a professional environment or a corporate workplace, how do you look and feel your most confident self? I invited Annelise Peso, a leadership coach onto the podcast to discuss this and lots more. Annelise is an ex-corporate lawyer who used to be Head of Legal at Morgan Stanley. She is now a leadership coach helping executives in demanding jobs to show up as the best version of themselves at work whilst looking after their own well being. Annelise is also an Italian passionate love of fashion! She shares how important her style is to her and why you shouldn't be afraid of dressing up. We cover: - The power of self care - Boundaries at work - How to look and feel confident in a demanding workplace - How to deal with stress at work - Fashion and its place in the workplace today.

This week’s episode is all about colour and the fascinating psychology behind it. Colour makes us feel things, we associate times and feelings with certain colours. Lots of people can’t bear to wear their school uniform colours and I've got a strange hatred of the colour orange. This episode really went off on some interesting tangents! I love it when that happens, when the chat just flows and you make new discoveries along the way. My guest today was my friend and long-time collaborator Teresa Klasener. Teresa is the resident mindset coach here on The Style Stories Podcast and an avid fan of wearing bright colours and loves a bright lipstick. In this episode we covered: I hope you enjoy this week's episode, I really loved this discussion.

I am joined by one of my listeners this week - Zena Everett. Zena is a leadership coach, author and public speaker and she helps people to project confidently at work. My job is to help people LOOK the part at work so our skills work well in tandem. We had an interesting discussion around: - Using clothes as armour at work - How our style evolves over the years as we transition through life - Why you don't need to look like everyone else at work anymore - The modern workwear minefield - Plus we asked, can you be taken seriously at work if you wear stylish clothes (spoiler alert - YES of course you can) We covered a lot - this episode is focussed on how to project yourself in the workplace from the point of view of a stylist and a leadership coach. We also did a giveaway.

Following on from the last two episodes with fellow London Stylist Lizzie Edwards, I am digging deeper into how to create a perfect capsule wardrobe. This is going to look different for everyone. We are all so different! One person loves wearing dresses and florals, another is a minimalist. It's all about your taste and your vibe so how does this translate into your actual wardrobe? In this episode I cover 4 main things you can do to really nail this down. The benefits that follow after are amazing! Once you know what really works you can ignore what doesn't, shop more efficiently and get so much more from your wardrobe. Dressing like your authentic self massively boosts confidence too and that has positive effects throughout life. If you feel stuck in a style rut then it's probably time for a change. The start of a new year is a perfect time to reassess your style and I've got the tools to help you do that.

This first episode sets the scene and we discuss why it's important to pay attention to what you wear and how you can get clear on your personal style. In part 2, Lizzie is sharing her actionable tips on how to get a streamlined wardrobe and clarity on your personal style so you can build a wardrobe that is perfect for you.

Have you planned what you are wearing this holiday season? It's December 1st today and that means it is acceptable to wear sequins all day, every day!

In this episode I have lots of ideas for festive party dressing from casual and low-key to FULL-ON 'extra' party dressing. I also created a blog to go with this episode so you've got a visual guide and can shop entire outfits with ease.
