Thanks for joining me on this week's episode - I am delighted to announce that Styling Matters Podcast (still a baby trying to grow) has reached 1,000 plays - this was my first goal I set myself when I launched and you have been a part of that, so THANK YOU!

On today's episode I chat through a bad Zara purchase I made a few years back, the issues I had styling it and the relief I felt when I finally got rid of it. Bad purchases are not great to hold on to, they mess around with the positive energy that you are trying to achieve with your curated stylish wardrobe / closet.

The chat moves on to how to elevate your own personal style at work - we don't all want to look the same, and an injection of our own personality should always be there, every, single, day! This episode was inspired by a blog post I wrote in 2018 - some of my views have change, but the main points are still so valid!

Inspiration: 5 WAYS TO ENHANCE YOUR OWN PERSONAL WORK STYLE (January 2018)

Listen on to get your weekly affirmation of the week! Thanks for joining and I hope you have a super week ahead.

Red lipstick has been a beauty staple for decades, and for a good reason too. Statistics show that wearing this colour can make a woman feel so much better!

A red lipstick is classic and a timeless colour that can elevate any look, from casual to an event look. But, more than that, red lipstick has the power to boost your confidence and make you feel fabulous. It's a bold and vibrant colour that can make a statement and command attention. It's also associated with power, confidence and femininity. Wearing a red lipstick can make you feel empowered and give you the confidence to take on the day.

I chat through how to pick the right shade, I take you through how I prepare my lips before applying such a bold and vibrant colour so that you get that flawless, defined finish - with a touch of sparkle, listen on to find out how!

Thanks for joining this week's episode of STYLING MATTERS. I am really starting to feel the need to plan for Summer. After visiting Westfield London last weekend, there is summer fashion and style is all in store at the moment and there are a few key items you will need for your holiday that won't be in store for long!

I also chat through a couple of bad online shopping experiences I've gone through and how I have handled them, and then a first for the podcast - I chat through LIVE my picks from the 'New In' section on ZARA. Highstreet hits have always been popular on the blog and on social media, so I am trying it in this format - let me know if you love them and I can easily do more!

Don't forget to listen on to the end of the affirmation of the week! Love Lizzi x
