The Style Stories Podcast

A new season is upon us and seeing as we wear cooler weather clothes most of the year round, autumn is a great time to stake stock and pay attention to what you want in your wardrobe.

It feels exciting - that 'back to school' feeling and a chance to start afresh.

I run through the top trends to look for and everything is appealing, except maybe the tinsel jumpers... pick and choose from the trends that appeal to you and then SHOP THE PODCAST!

There's no denying we are in the influencer era. Despite the fact some people are saying it's over...! To be able to see someone who is your size and shape wearing an outfit rather than just a skinny size 8, 5ft 8" model is so much more enticing and it's a very powerful marketing tool for brands. 

I was joined today by Jo, the founder of clothing company The Cotswold Shed and Rachel from @rachellovesstyle

Both ladies share their style stories and evolution over the years. We all agreed we have become more confident as we've got older but some people hold back as they get older and worry too much about what others think. Hopefully we can help people to see there is a lot of joy to be found in wearing a great outfit!

Plus - why EVERYONE is wearing Me+Em now. Last week we got a new government and I lost count of the number of prominent women wearing this brand. They have truly cracked the style code and are thriving in a very difficult retail landscape. What is their secret? 

I am breaking down the death of the tailored shift dress, how to do 'soft power dressing' at work and the reasons Me+Em is the hottest workwear brand in town.

Corporate Lawyer, Board Advisor, Instagram star and mum of Two Lisa Marinelli joined me on the podcast this week to discuss how you can dress fashionably at work and still be taken seriously. You do not have to dress in dull corporate clothes anymore - in fact, showing some flair and personality in the workplace helps you stand out in a competitive world. We all thrive when are more authentically ourselves and dressing with confidence helps you to appear confident to others instantly.

Does your work wardrobe need a shake up?

“When I first started out as a lawyer, I bought a suit because I thought that’s what I needed to wear to feel like I belonged in a corporate setting. But soon enough, you realize that a black suit is not really an expression of anything. I started playing with the idea of ‘power dressing’ by finding the colours that made me feel the most confident" -Lisa Marinelli

Who said you had to conform to one style in life?

Quite simply you don’t, and life can be so much more joyful for it.

In this episode I am joined by style chameleon Keira O’Mara who lives this way, where every day can be different. She changes her style according to her mood that day rather than reaching for one of the same 10 outfits many of us stick to. Sounds like a fun way to live right?

Keira shares what it means to be a style chameleon and why it brings her so much joy. She also talks about her accessories brand Scott-Samuel, including the stunning bags and capes.

Clothes have the power to make you feel great, and the joy of experimenting with different outfits can give you confidence in expressing oneself through fashion.

Let’s hear from Keira to find out how!

Do you love the French look?

Timeless and effortless. But how do you actually achieve it?

In this episode I am joined by Founder of Aurélie, Lucy Robinson. She has created a wonderful brand with a personal touch. Lucy writes handwritten notes with every order, to make each and every purchase feel special.

Aurélie is all about creating timeless looks rather than following fast fashion trends, something French fashion is all about. Lucy shares how to get the French look from jeans to jackets, as well as why the French just get fashion right.

We also talk about how to feel confident in your clothes and the impacts the information we see in the media can have on us.

One of the most important messages from this episode is to learn more about yourself and make sure that your wardrobe reflects that at all stages of life.

Do you ever feel stuck in a rut with your clothes?

You don’t know what to choose, or what goes with what. You feel like it’s just all too overwhelming. Well, you’re not alone.

In this episode I am joined by the fabulous Amy Simpson and Lisa Farley, creators of NUDI SPRAY™. They share their struggles when choosing outfits to wear, either from their wardrobe or when out shopping. Something I’m sure we’ve all been through. We chat about how to overcome these challenges by taking away the confusion and what items can make an outfit.

Amy and Lisa also tell all about their amazing product NUDI SPRAY™, something that will revolutionise the lives of so many women out there going through perimenopause and menopause.

They had a moment of inspiration during 2022 whilst comparing sticky patch stories following their summer holidays. Neither friend had discovered a reliable, effective or easy means of removing HRT patch glue, leaving them feeling self-conscious about living very publicly with unsightly marks on their skin.

This led them on a quest to find a solution, and after months of research and development, they had created NUDI SPRAY™.

“If you’re reaching for some mayonnaise and rubbing it all over your legs, you’re at a new low” – Amy Simpson

It's officially Summer and the Summer-specific events are kicking off with Epsom Darby this weekend and Royal Ascot just around the corner. These are events where there is a license to get really dressed up and enjoy the pomp and ceremony that surronds these unique gatherings. 

With this in mind, I invited Rachel Skinner or Rachel Skinner Milineray and also Lomax & Skinner to discuss what to wear at Royal Ascot. Rachel trained with Frederick Foz who made hats for Queen Elizabeth and also Stephen Jones, one of the UK's best milliners.
