Gorgeous girl, (#ulink_1fa09208-0e6f-589e-9398-a0fe33dfe3f6)
Don’t think I don’t know you dream of having the style of Sophia Loren, the boldness of Nicole Kidman and the effortless sophistication of Jennifer Aniston.
Honey, let me let you into a little secret: nearly all celebs have stylists. A huge team of people behind them making them look that good.
How can you ever compete? Well, from now on, I’m going to be your personal stylist. Let me advise you on how to get dressed, and how not to get stressed.
I am so proud of British fashion. We have the best high street in the world. Whether you have £5 or £500 to spend, there are great clothes out there for you. But, there’s a national epidemic; people don’t know how to put outfits together! Finding clothes you love is just the start, because then, you have to get dressed …
Let me tell you, every woman gets stuck in a style rut once in a while. And every woman sometimes suffers from wardrobe-phobia. But life is too short not to enjoy shopping and dressing! There isn’t a single person in the world that doesn’t have the right to feel good about their personal appearance.
There is a knack to putting together a great outfit. Part of it is the way you combine your clothes and accessories, and part of it is knowing where to wear that outfit (or knowing the perfect outfit to wear to each event). And I’m going to show you how, because when someone comes up and says ‘I love your outfit’, it’s the best compliment in the world, so let’s make that happen more often.
Life is a series of celebrations (thank goodness!). Sooner or later, everyone’s got an event to go to, and unless you’re going to move into a naturist site in Bournemouth, you’ll have to get dressed up!
I want to give you your very own one-to-one personal styling session, finding you the perfect clothes for every occasion.

By the time you’ve finished this book, you’re going to feel like you’ve had a day of loving clothes, embracing your personal style and rejoicing in accessories. You’ll be able to pull some new outfits out from every section of this book (and many more from your existing wardrobe!).
This book is going to buy you time. You’re so busy with the kids or with work, why add to your hectic schedule by worrying about what to wear? Let this book take the worry away. And inspire you!
What this book will also do is give you more va-va-voom. You’re going to feel like you want to mingle with people from work, enjoy the pregnancy and feel beautiful, go to that wedding and meet the man of your dreams, or go on holiday and take time out to relax. And you’ll enjoy getting ready as much as you do going out.
I love clothes and putting them together, so this is going to be fun!
One last thing. What are you wearing right now?
Girlfriend, I want you to go and get your highest stilettos. Put ’em on, and turn the page, cos here’s where we start the styling …
