For everyday workwear at a mid-range price point; J Crew offers a fantastic range with a focus on colour and cashmere. With great quality clothing, fantastic customer service and a petite range - it’s a no brainer to give it a try. See this weeks Friday Finds for my picks, and try-on session.
The Fold was founded by Polly McMaster, a successful businesswoman whose love of fashion was the inspiration to create a chic new brand for professional women. The brand’s values are totally aligned with mine, and I regularly take my clients there - which is why I asked Polly to write the introduction to my book. So, for this week’s Friday Finds I visited The Fold to show you some of the items I like from their latest collection.
For this week’s Friday Finds on IGTV I visited the London based workwear brand Dai. The capsule collection is thoughtfully functional and seamlessly versatile – “to move you from desk to dinner, meeting to networking, pitch to the plane.” I’m so pleased I went to try everything on and show the clothes ‘on a body’, as I don’t think you can see from an image how stretchy and comfortable the clothes are!
The saying tells us you should never judge a book by its cover. But we do, it is human nature. Packaging has a huge impact on how we perceive products and the quality within them and our clothes are just that: our packaging.
To save you having to carry your handbag, work bag, sometimes a laptop bag, and a gym kit it’s definitely worth investing in a smart looking work backpack.
It’s an item I am always on the look out for myself, for my clients, and it’s the most common item my business friends ask me for recommendations on, as they are often working from a different location every day, and need to carry their office in a good looking bag.
Here are my current favourite 3 of the Best Work Backpacks.
New to London, the beautiful Parisian brand Sézane had me at ‘Bonjour’. Both stylish and ethical, it is easy to see why I am such a fan of their collection.
All of the steps in my book Look Like The Leader You Are hold their own significance and importance, but the often missed, but essential, first step in any ‘new image’ process is to REFLECT.
The longest journeys begin with the smallest step and that couldn’t be truer when it comes to overhauling your image. How you present yourself is a never ending project of discovery, planning and maintenance but you might be surprised it starts nowhere near your wardrobe at all.
