As it’s now November I thought it’s a good idea to start thinking about all our Christmas wishes and what we would like to achieve or have in our lives in 2019 both personally and professionally

As it's now November I thought it's a good idea to start thinking about all our Christmas wishes and what we would like to achieve or have in our lives in 2019 both personally and professionally. . Apart from hoping Father Christmas will bring me what I have asked for, ... I like to wake up with daily "gratitudes" for what I have already. . When you are grateful and positive I find the Universe often rewards you with more. . What do you think and what would you like? . . . . .

Sometimes we don’t take time to stop and look around us and appreciate being in the moment

Sometimes we don't take time to stop and look around us and appreciate being in the moment. Most of us are glued to our phones, reading texts, sending emails, checking our social media. . So whilst walking @misslucy_lou this sunny morning I was practicing being mindful, grateful and appreciating the world around me. . I came across this beautifully planted flower bed. So simple but so effective. . I thought it was quite magical, ethereal almost like Narnia with the old fashioned lamp post. . Perfect garden for a Halloween posting. . . . . .

Today’s Stripes

Today's Stripes. Sloppy, Sunday comfy dressing. . My posts are always non-filtered and exactly how I look that day. . It shouldn't be necessary to filter, Facetune, or create a social media enhanced perfect version of yourself. . NO celebrity or client I have ever styled or dressed for the Red Carpet has had a perfect body or skin. You can always aspire to be the best version of yourself but your imperfections are what make you unique. . Be confident enough in your own self-image and body-image to not judge or compare yourself to others, especially others' fitered Instagram posts. They're not real. . Tshirt dress: Primark Sweater: Zadig and Voltaire Metallic trainers: Superga Specs: People . . . . .

This is an example of a makeover transformation of a young newly transitioning mtf client of mine

This is an example of a makeover transformation of a young newly transitioning mtf client of mine. Her face is cropped for client privacy and anonymity. . I taught her how to dress to suit her changing body shape from hormone treatment, and how less is always more in the style stakes. . I showed how to cover any residual beard shadow with makeup tricks which would be easy for her to do on a day to day basis-without resorting to heavy coverage camouflage. I also reshaped her eyebrows which made an enormous difference to feminising the face. . I used Nars foundation stick Kryolan colour wheel Clinique lip balm L'Oreal eyebrow pencil . . . .
