My husband organised for a stylist to come and spend the day with me on Sunday (total surprise). After having our second son a year ago I have been constantly moaning about my wardrobe (never having anything to wear, lots of clothes no actual outfits, i'm rubbish at colour, blah blah) and I think he got so bored of it he arranged for Lucy, a stylist, to come and sort it out once and for all.


Lucy turned up at 8.45am and we went through my wardrobe together. We went through every item and she advised me on what colours and styles suit me. We threw out at least half of my wardrobe (all the usual whim/panic buys included) and then she drove me in to town to go shopping to buy items of clothing that would match the items left (vests and t-shirts in the right colours, jacket and shoes to go with all my dresses etc etc). She then drove me home and took me through some outfits. She offered to go through some hair and make up tips but I was totally shopped out and ready to collapse with a take away!


Anyway I thought I'd post on here as it was so much fun and so useful. She charges ?500 for a full day which is pricey but then worked to our shopping budget. She took me to Gap, Zara and Selfridges (so no pricey designers) and I came away with so SO many pieces and now have a whole new wardrobe. She told me she spends 3 whole days a week shopping and this made it so easy and efficient - she knew exactly where we were going, what she was looking for, and where it was in each shop. Amazing.


Keen to pass on her details if anyone is interested! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again for advice on an outfit, having my make up done or something.

Ooh - what a lovely surprise. As well as the stylist, can you recommend where I can find a husband like that? ;-)


I have a friend who does the same thing, also based in South London. She'll also break things up to just do the wardrobe revamp, or the personal shopping etc. Feel I'd be a bad friend if I didn't add her details to this mix, so her website is FeronClarkStyle.com

What a fantastic surprise. I am insanely jealous.


My friend Sally, [email protected], is also a personal stylist. She went through my wardrobe, worked out what suited me and took me on an outing into town where we bought a whole, new, fabulous wardrobe. I'm not sure how much she charges but it won't be near to ?500, it will be a lot less. A number of people have commented on my new outfits. I think the best comment I got was 'when I first met you you weren't this glamorous!' I was in a new dress Sally had recommended me.


This is the best present any husband can buy especially after having a baby.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
