-which items should stay,
-which items need some alterations
-which items are to be sold/ donated to charity and
-which basic items are missing & are to be included onto your shopping list.

just a thought...

if you feel that there is room for improvement in your appearance,
why not employ a personal stylist/ wardrobe planner to help you create your own beautiful, unique look?

a professional to help you build your wardrobe,
teach you how to shop,
show you how to master the art of organizing your closet
or how to accessorize correctly.

employ a professional that will be able to go beyond the "normal" styling services of figure and colour analysis and help you dress for an occasion,
give advice on beauty (make-up, hair & products)
and lifestyle (gorgeous items to make you feel good - even for your home),
what to wear and pack for work,
how to travel in style and how to host/ attend events & parties.

MAKE-UP FREE MONDAYS

So here's an idea. Lets join MEAT FREE MONDAYS in a very fashionable and stylish way by giving your skin a rest on Mondays - lets wear NO MAKE-UP.

Prep your skin by drinking plenty of water, getting to bed early on Sunday night and slapping on loads of your favorite moisturizers & serums. You will wake up looking healthy and refreshed.

thought for the day:

your clothes DIRECTLY affects the way you think,
the way you feel,
the way you act,
and the way others react to you.

clothing is a UNIVERSAL element in non-verbal communication

INVESTMENT PIECES

As a stylist and wardrobe planner the question I probably have to answer the most is:
"Which items would you recommend as the "wardrobe basics"?'

After hours of research and using my own fashion-savvy-sense I've compiled the INVESTMENT LIST for my clients.

The items on this list are not only the must-haves in your wardrobe, but they are also the pieces in which you invest a little more money (to ensure that they are of great quality and will last) and a little more time to find.

So here goes, THE INVESTMENT LIST:

1. A GOOD WINTER COAT
2. A TRENCH COAT
3. A SHORT BLAZER/ JACKET
4. A PAIR OF BLACK SLIM PANTS
5. A PAIR OF CLASSIC CUT PANTS (not black)
6. A PAIR OF GOOD JEANS
7. A WHITE BUTTON SHIRT 
8. A LITTLE BLACK DRESS
9. A VARIETY OF CAMISOLES, TEES AND VESTS (in all the basic colours, in a style that suits your body shape)
10. A PAIR OF QUALITY SUNGLASSES (to suit your facial shape and natural colouring & hairstyle)
11. A GENUINE LEATHER HANDBAG
12. A CLASSIC CLUTCH
13. A PAIR OF KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
14. A PAIR OF PUMPS
15. A PAIR OF GORGEOUS, ALL ROUNDER HEELS (preferable black/ tan)

Each item on this list has been put there for a very good reason. When I address a group of women at events I attend as a guest speaker, they are always extremely impressed by how they are able to achieve a great number of different looks (day to evening, casual to smart to formal), ALL by ONLY using the above mentioned items (or some of these items).

The most important factors to keep in mind when going out to purchase your Investment Pieces are
A. FIT (clothes should fit you properly) and
B. STYLE (the style should compliment the features of your body that you want to enhance whilst at the same time help you camouflage those feature which you feel are not your best).

happy dressing, Madeline

TRENDS spring/summer 2011/2012

 1. BLACK HIGH WAISTED SHORTS
These shorts are lovely for Summer nights out. Wear with a cream lace top, tucked in and tan, gladiator heels.
For a daytime work look wear with a white collared shirt, pearls, 3/4 sleeved jacket and black pumps.
 2. THE BLUSH BLAZER
This rosy hued jacket gives a romantic feel to any any outfit.
It can be dressed down for a casual day look, worn with skinny jeans and flats or look elegant over a dress, worn with heels for a more formal look.
Jackets look great when accessorized with a clutch.



3. THE LONG SLEEVED TUNIC DRESS
As seen here on Kim Kardashian, the loose fitting, long sleeved tunic should be worn over bare legs - with either pumps, heels or ankle boots (depending on the look you want to achieve). Adjust the shape of your tunic with a belt at or below the waist.

such gorgeous stationary: By BLACK COCO STATIONARY BOUTIQUE

InBloom was recently involved with the SA School of Weddings and L'Atelier when they did a charity fundraising event called the Wedding Wish.

In the attempt to raise enough funds to sponsor a wedding for someone in need, they managed to raise enough funds to make 4 wedding dreams come true.

The event, held at L'Aquila Conference Venue and Spa just outside Pretoria, was made possible by many, mostly wedding, service providers. And what a vibey bunch of interesting, young women they are.

To me personally, Black Coco Stationary Boutique stood out. Absolutely loved their designs and quality.
Be sure to keep them at the top of your list when having to design your own wedding stationary or even business stationary perhaps.
