Visit Style Counsel Online I’ve just created my first online community and I’d love to meet you/chat to you there! The overwhelming response after this week’s “Love Your Body” event for the YWCA has only consolidated in my mind that what I do, how I work, how I style is a GOOD THING! And there… Continue Reading

Ya Gotta Laugh…
Mum in a Cricket Bag (My first time on YouTube – please forgive me) This video clip is an example of the lengths I will go to give myself (and others) a giggle. When the going gets tough this old bird doesn’t get going – she just gets sillier! This was filmed (on my son’s… Continue Reading
So now I’m a “stick insect”?
I recently heard Samantha Armytage (Weekend Sunrise) make a comment about a politician who was the topic of discussion recently, having been photographed in high fashion heels and a sexy dress. The round-table discussion was about her showing off her slender body etc. Samantha then said, (as she referred to herself “a curvy woman”) that… Continue Reading
Does My Bum Look Big in This?
Einstein’s Definition of Insanity goes something like this – “Repeating the same action but expecting a different result”. How often have you found yourself doing that very thing? I know I have! Does that make me officially insane? I guess so! Well, at least at the time I was doing it! But I’ve also worked… Continue Reading

What I know for sure…
Was it Ellen Degeneres or was it Oprah who first coined the above phrase? I’m not too sure, but what I DO know for sure is this: Style isn’t something you’re born with – it’s a combination (similar to the age-old “Nature vs Nurture” debate) of what God gave you (i.e your parents/genetics) and what… Continue Reading
On being inclusive…not exclusive
This is just the first of my random ramblings on many issues affecting women/men/children/adults. Style is my focus but self-acceptance is where it begins. If you love you, you love others. And others love you. The key is loving you first and treating yourself with respect while doing the same with everyone else you meet. … Continue Reading
