THE NEVER-FAIL FROCK … A wrap dress a la Diane Von Furstenberg. So easy and feminine, yet smart.

WEB SHOPPING … I browse but rarely buy as I believe the fit of a garment is everything and I can't be bothered with dealing with the hassle of returns if a garment isn't right on me.

STAY AWAY FROM … blue or green eyeshadow. Both look dreadful on me.
HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH … Too much colour. I love it on other people but on me it just shouts too loud.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT OUTFIT FOR THE RIGHT OCCASION … Is such a confidence-builder and means you can forget about what you're wearing and concentrate on what's going on and what you have to do.

BUYING SHOES … I'm not particularly tall so high heels are a must. Even on weekends.

ALWAYS SMELL LIKE … Coco by Chanel

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE … Some time to herself on a regular basis.
LOOKING FANTASTIC IN FIVE MINUTES … I really try to stay on top of the grooming basics (manicure, pedicure, regular haircuts) so that all I have to do if I'm in a rush is add some blusher and eyeliner.
