Style gets Personal: Shop Smart On-line

The internet is massive now. it is so easy to get carried away, just remember we wear 20% of what we buy. This is a classic example of fantastic fashion that is hard to find in the shops. Vivien Westwood is a Uk icon with beautiful well cut flattering clothes at net-a-porter. What is sometimes sold out not picked up by buyers might be easier to find via the web.

1. Only buy things you love.

2. Check out different sites often so that you don’t miss sale items when they come up. Very popular sites such as Cocosa.com sell out quickly make it a favorite and you won’t miss out. Enter gabrielle for an invite.

3. Buy quality rather than "fashion" if you are on a budget clothes will last you longer and you will get more wear out of the

4. Buy things that fit you. Seriously, about 40% of my clients wear clothes too big for them

5. Buy colors that suit your skin rather than what is in fashion. Orange is in right now but only 3% of population can wear it so tread carefully.

6. Spend money on items that are staples i.e. jackets, bags, coats, dresses and buy cheaper fashion items so you are on trend but über stylish.

7. Fastest way to update your look is a new pair of shoes. Equally wearing shoes that are last years “news” when the fashion has changed will date your entire outfit.

8. Use block colors to add drama i.e. black and white, black and red, brown and raspberry, yellow gold jackets.

9. If you are classic style keep colors to bags and shoes to stop your outfit looking boring: lime green bags, red shoes etc. This is an easy way to make things fun and stylish.

10. Accessorize. The right necklace is literally worth its weight in gold don’t buy too cheaply aim to keep key pieces.
