As a Personal Stylist I spend a lot of time in changing rooms with women of all shapes and sizes and it’s my job to find solutions for all kinds of style dilemmas. I’m also often asked on the spot for suggestions of what will suit friends, family and people …

What’s number 1 in Vogue’s street style trends to watch for 2016? Glasses. “Be the bespectacled girl at the party…Specs are now a style saviour. Wear them all day, every day and with huge, heavyweight earrings.” This is welcome news for me after needing glasses for more than half my life, as …
