The white shirt – a multi-talented wardrobe staple, too often overlooked for being too high maintenance, too hard to find a great fit, too much like a man’s business shirt, to stiff to feel relaxed in… Sound familiar? Other objections you may be familiar with; I can’t wear white, I spill something on myself everytime or my makeup always runs on the collar. Sisterhood, its ok, in fact I’ve probably made some of those excuses myself before. But today is not that day. I’m busting through those myths and punching them in the face. Here are my top five reasons why I’m loving hard on the white shirt ..read more

Do you like having your photo taken? Chances are, you may not. I know a lot of my clients don’t and truth be told, I don’t much like it either! I know, who’d-a-thunk-it! Whether you’re a SAHM or a women in business this blog is for you. You may always be behind the camera taking photos of your family and rarely get in front of it, or you may reluctantly find yourself having to have regular photo shoots for your business – for content and website updates. I sit in both camps btw! I recently chatted to a client who felt confronted by some recent photos she had seen of herself. There was of co ..read more

My Godfather coined my nickname when I was five – ‘Gabby-jaws’. My fam-bam still sometimes call me that still. But really, he nailed the brief when it comes to me – I do like to chat. A lot. So naturally I was delighted to be asked to be a guest on several podcasts over the last year. It’s taken me a while to add them to my site, but hey ho, here I am now! For your aural pleasure. Sorry there’s nothing I can do about my voice The Love Me True Podcast by Jessie Rolton https://anchor.fm/lovemetrue/episodes/Feel-Confident-Everyday-with-Emma-Jane-eg2edq Middilicious with Nikki Gunning EJ – Siste ..read more

Sisterhood, you know I love a jumpsuit. I love them so much I have five of them. They all serve a purpose, some are just for summer, some for winter and 2 are trans-seasonal. I love a jumpsuit for their chic and effortlessly stylish qualities and adore the fact that I don’t have to think too hard when wearing them. Oh yeah, I ALWAYS feel fabulous when I wear one. OH WHY DO I LOVE YOU SO? They are easy to dress up and down – add a heel & leather jacket and you have a fabulous evening out look nailed. Pair with a white trainer and a denim jacket and you have a casual street style in the bag ..read more

If you’re new around here, allow me to introduce you to ‘wardrobe orphans’. What are they you ask? They’re those pesky pieces that hang about in your wardrobe, purchased in haste, on sale or because they fit ok, they are not wardrobe staples, they don’t wow you and therefore they never quite fit in. They’re hard to mesh with your other pieces and they don’t play nice, nor are they thought of kindly when choosing your outfit. They are the perennial non-starter, the forgotten items, never to be worn, forever the piece that you put on, but take straight off and never make it back out the front do ..read more

Immortalised by Glam Rock band “Twisted Sister”, “We’re not gonna take it” is the perfect war cry of the Menopausal woman. So I’m adopting it as our theme-song. It’s our fight song for this new club we find ourselves in – our club, our squad of middle-aged beauties, rocking a change in life. It’s so important to remember that peri-menopause or menopause is not a full stop – it’s not even a pause. It is a change, yes. But it doesn’t have to be an ending. Try looking it as a new avenue to explore, a new way of seeing the world and yourself. Yep, I’m back with Part Two of The Menopause Diaries. Y ..read more

I have a lovely friend who was also my “work-wife” in a former life. She text me the other day to share her fabulous news that she had got an incredible new role. I was ecstatic for her. Over the next few days, we traded messages and I loved hyping her up. (PS, if you don’t know what hyping or gassing up your friends means, keep reading, I explain it all). Well Jerry does. #whenyouknowyouknow The night before she started, she text me with the question “what should I wear on my first day?” Now sisterhood, I get asked this question a lot – that and what to wear to a job interview.  My adv ..read more

I don’t shop for myself. Often. Well, to be fair, I do (and it may be more than the average woman). I also have the advantage of being in the shops with clients frequently, so I often end up shopping for myself online, alone on my laptop. But it’s quite clinical, transactional. I know what I need, I consult my list, I consider my options, I buy or I don’t buy. But I rarely get out to the shops, to simply shop, to meander, mooch, try on or not, and have a play. So I was delighted last week to have a small window of time spare after a client shopping session. I grabbed that opportunity with the ..read more
