However if you work within the media or for a young IT or techi company then anything goes. @bbcradiolondon

What does a girl do when still wearing flats and no makeup?
You go to Peter Jones and do a whole makeup on the Laura Mercier counter with their testers and buy a pair of heels on sale reduced from £90 to £45.
Result! .

Frida Kahlo @vamuseum London
Frida was a unique style icon with her monobrow which she enhanced with makeup, red lips and flowers in her hair.
Even with lifelong ill health and adversity she remained extraordinarily stylish in her image.
Frida was beset by health problems throughout her life from contracting Polio as a child to injuries sustained in a car accident which affected her to her early death.
However she remained stoic and stylish all through her pain…

Even after a leg amputation Frida remained a true to her own unique personal style, customising her prosthetic leg with a stylish decorated boot.

Frida’s mono-brow and facial hair were not the beauty norms even at that time.
She used an eyebrow pencil in Ebony to accentuate her brows and Revlon “everything’s rosy” lipstick and red nail varnish.
Some of Frida Kahlo’s dresses. What can I say but how fabulous!

This is her house where she lived with her husband Diego Rivera the Mexican muralist.
Thank you @pashclassics for getting them to me in less than 12 hours!
They finish off the 50’s style vibe in this kitchen corner.
Spot @misslucy_lou the bichon/westie cross on her bed in the corner.
She always wants involved and to be in the picture.
The fuschia coloured Sweet Peas and beautiful Peonies are all from my Isle of Wight garden.
The orange Tulips are silk fakes.
I often mix real flowers with fake when interior styling or staging a property.
