Abi Lynn @stealmystyle40 on Instagram joined me to talk about how to look put together when you need to wear casual and practical clothes. That's more or less all of us then! Your wardrobe needs to meet the demands of your life and make you feel good at the same time. Practical style doesn't need to be boring and you can still look and feel stylish when dressing casually and comfortably. Abi is a petite style influencer over on Instagram and known for being a football Mum. She's always on the sidelines watching her boys so she needs to be dressed appropriately. She loves fashion and dressing up and chats about her journey to becoming an influencer, where she shops and how she likes to get dressed today.    Find Abi Lynn here - https://www.instagram.com/stealmystyle40/?hl=en If that link doesn't work she is @stealmystyle40   Follow Lisa (the host) here: https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/?hl=en   Sign-up for Lisa's FREE style masterclass happening tomorrow at 7pm GMT Wednesday 27th March 2024.  https://mailchi.mp/lisagillbestyle/webinar-2024 #stylepodcast #personalstylist #petitestyle

This week Lisa was joined by podcast host, TV presenter and stylist Emma Lightbown to talk all things style. Emma mostly styles for TV and adverts and explains how the clothes the actors wear are crucial to telling the viewer who they are. This is also true in real life, what you wear tells a story about you.  If you think about TV dramas, the characters are always dressed ina way that brings their character and back story to life so WE the viewer believe in their story. This is a great example of just how powerful visual/non-verbal communication really is! What you wear tells a story about you because that's a big part of how humans communicate with each other.  We also discussed the changing face of the High Street - how it's so much harder to shop right now because so many shops are closing down. Emma shares her passion for Vinted shopping and we disagreed on the joys of shopping in TK Maxx! You've got to be in the mood to shop in there...! I hope you enjoy this week's episode.

A bit of a workwear special today - especially if you work in Corporate but these tips apply to any workplace. As I've mentioned many times on this podcast, what you wear matters. Clothes can be used as a tool for success and importantly as armour to help you look polished and professional and feel it inside.    But that's not enough by itself. Of course you need to be good at your job as well as looking the part and this is the topic of discussion in today's podcast.   If you work in a professional environment or a corporate workplace, how do you look and feel your most confident self?   I invited Annelise Peso, a leadership coach onto the podcast to discuss this and lots more. Annelise is an ex-corporate lawyer who used to be Head of Legal at Morgan Stanley. She is now a leadership coach helping executives in demanding jobs to show up as the best version of themselves at work whilst looking after their own well being. Annelise is also an Italian passionate love of fashion! She shares how important her style is to her and why you shouldn't be afraid of dressing up.  We cover: - The power of self care - Boundaries at work - How to look and feel confident in a demanding workplace - How to deal with stress at work - Fashion and its place in the workplace today.   Annelise's website: https://www.annelisepesa.com/ Annelise on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annelise_pesa/?hl=en   Follow Lisa on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/?hl=en   Lisa's website: https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/   Sign up to Lisa's newsletter and 'shop the pod' http://eepurl.com/eZu32   #fashionpodcast #personalstyle #corporatelaywer #womeninbusiness #leadership
This week’s episode is all about colour and the fascinating psychology behind it. Colour makes us feel things, we associate times and feelings with certain colours. Lots of people can’t bear to wear their school uniform colours and I've got a strange hatred of the colour orange.  This episode really went off on some interesting tangents! I love it when that happens, when the chat just flows and you make new discoveries along the way.  My guest today was my friend and long-time collaborator Teresa Klasener. Teresa is the resident mindset coach here on The Style Stories Podcast and an avid fan of wearing bright colours and loves a bright lipstick.    In this episode we covered:   The Psychology of colour Using colour to tell a story in the movie Poor Things What is colour analysis – is it naff or worth it? Why block colour makes us think of American newsreaders Why self-proclaimed stylish people turn their noses up at wearing colour How colour can be used to create a mood in movies How brands use colour to make us buy stuff   I hope you enjoy this week's episode, I really loved this discussion.   If you have any ideas for topics on the podcast, please contact Lisa – Lisa@lisagillbestyle.com   Follow Teresa Klasener here: https://www.instagram.com/youatwork/   Follow Lisa here: https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/   Work with Lisa 1:1 on your wardrobe: https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/   Sign up to Lisa’s newsletter here: http://eepurl.com/eZu32
I am joined by one of my listeners this week - Zena Everett. Zena is a leadership coach, author and public speaker and she helps people to project confidently at work. My job is to help people LOOK the part at work so our skills work well in tandem. We had an interesting discussion around: - Using clothes as armour at work - How our style evolves over the years as we transition through life - Why you don't need to look like everyone else at work anymore - The modern workwear minefield  - Plus we asked, can you be taken seriously at work if you wear stylish clothes (spoiler alert - YES of course you can) We covered a lot - this episode is focussed on how to project yourself in the workplace from the point of view of a stylist and a leadership coach.   We also did a giveaway.

Following on from the last two episodes with fellow London Stylist Lizzie Edwards, I am digging deeper into how to create a perfect capsule wardrobe. This is going to look different for everyone. We are all so different! One person loves wearing dresses and florals, another is a minimalist. It's all about your taste and your vibe so how does this translate into your actual wardrobe? In this episode I cover 4 main things you can do to really nail this down. The benefits that follow after are amazing! Once you know what really works you can ignore what doesn't, shop more efficiently and get so much more from your wardrobe. Dressing like your authentic self massively boosts confidence too and that has positive effects throughout life. If you feel stuck in a style rut then it's probably time for a change. The start of a new year is a perfect time to reassess your style and I've got the tools to help you do that.   Shop the pod:  Sign-up to Lisa's newsletter here for outfit ideas and shopping recommendations: http://eepurl.com/eZu32   If you'd love help with your wardrobe, check out Lisa's services and book here: https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/   Follow Lisa on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/   #stylepodcast #personalstyle #fashionpodcast

This week I am joined by best-selling author, style coach and personal stylist Lizzie Edwards. Lizzie is a hugely experienced stylist, and is sharing her insider knowledge on what it takes to get a streamlined, stylish wardrobe. In this episode we discuss why style matters, how to get a perfectly balanced wardrobe and how you can use clothes to boost your confidence and career in 2024.🚀 It's not about fashion, it's about style and having a wardrobe that is streamlined and reflects who you are makes life easier! Your wardrobe should support you in your work and personal life and make you feel great. The truth is, many people have a wardrobe full of clothes they don't like or wear and hang on to things because they feel guilty about letting them go. Unless you have a clear idea of the clothes that are right for you, you'll always have a cluttered and confused wardrobe.  This is a two-part podcast. This first episode sets the scene and we discuss why it's important to pay attention to what you wear and how you can get clear on your personal style. In part 2, Lizzie is sharing her actionable tips on how to get a streamlined wardrobe and clarity on your personal style so you can build a wardrobe that is perfect for you. Both Lizzie and Lisa have years of experience as personal stylists and are sharing their valuable insights into how you get a great wardrobe and why it matters.

Have you planned what you are wearing this holiday season? It's December 1st today and that means it is acceptable to wear sequins all day, every day!

In this episode I have lots of ideas for festive party dressing from casual and low-key to FULL-ON 'extra' party dressing. I also created a blog to go with this episode so you've got a visual guide and can shop entire outfits with ease.

Your choice of work clothes depends solely on what kind of work specifics you have. It is much easier to choose an outfit for the office, but for production you will need a special work suit that will comply with all safety standards, I advise you to learn more about it here https://wearce.com/
