BBC radio london and TheFashionfix

Hi,

On Tuesday, Vanessa Feltz came to Brent Cross to do a live show. After speaking to Vanessa about the trends for the season and how to adapt them for your age, I was given the challenge of dressing a member of the live audience in 30 minutes. Here is a pic of Martyn, the volunteer, Vanessa and I. Martyn was originally dressed in jeans, white shirt, cardigan and tan boots, my challenge was to change her outfit/ image in 30 minutes!! We ran to Topshop where I kitted her out with a gorgeous black dress ( it is difficult to see the detail here), a very soft and stunning stud collar black leather jacket, a large statement necklace and black tights. We ran from Topshop to Office where I grabbed a fab pair of flat biker boots and an extremely high pair of platform shoes ( here I am in the pic above showing them to the audience). As we had to run down the escalator to return to the live radio show, Martyn wore the boots and I carried the shoes. The audience loved the outfit and transformation, Martyn went back to Topshop to buy the jacket and Vanessa and her team were very impressed by what I had acheived in just 30 minutes. Success all round.

Just think how much you can get if you book a 2 hours or more shopping session with me. Listen to the podcast at bbc.co.uk and play Vanessa Feltz 29th September.

Happy listening

The New Season

Hi,

Yes I'm back. Sorry it has been so long. It has been a very busy time for me and I have not had a chance to write my blog.

Anyway, enough of the excuses, the new season's website is up and running, so take a look at www.thefashionfix.co.uk. The picture here is from the homepage. Have a look through to site to get an idea of what you can expect to find in the shops for the coming season. I don't know about you, but I am really feeling the cold- Winter is definately on its way.

From now until the end of October I am offering a 20% discount for any 4 hour shopping trip booked, so if you fancy getting your Winter wardrobe together contact me quickly.

I would love your comments on your site,

Denise

Fashion flashback

Hi,

A fashion flashback to the 80's. For all you disco divas that didn't wear them the first time around- a groovy pair of sequin leggings from Primark at just £11. Just one of the many trends for Winter 09- more of which , at a later date.

Love them or hate them?

Will you be wearing them? Did you wear them the first time around?

Keep checking www.thefashionfix.co.uk for all the other trends.

I can hear that disco beat!

Transitional Times

Hi,

Along with Summer sales, come school hols. This is a time every year when I am not known to shop or style - There are odd bits and pieces in the shops and the kids and I need to spend quality time together.

Even though Summer is officially

here ( someone tell the weather that! ), I am now looking at Autumn/ Winter 09. I will be posting pictures of new season stock and writing about the trends regularly, so watch out for them. My website www.thefashionfix.co.uk will also be updated with loads of new pics and ideas. In the meantime this great multi ring necklace from Accessorize £16 is a transitional piece that you can start wearing now.

Are you still shopping for Summer pieces or are you starting to think about the new season? Let me know.

What to wear????

Hi,

Sorry, I have not been able to write my blog as I have had problems logging on- I have to say I am not the most computer literate person!

Anyway, the question I ask myself every day is, what shall I wear today? The weather is very changeable, going through many seasons in one day. So, this week I have decided to show you a cute pink suede ruffle clutch bag from Accessorize £35 - you can wear this whatever the weather and it will brighten up any outfit.

Are you having problems deciding what to wear in the mornings? Let me know.

Have a look at www.thefashionfix.co.uk for tips.

Music and Maxis

Hi,
In my last post I showed you a great floral maxi dress and said that they were perfect for Summer- Cool and floaty. On Saturday I went to Kenwood ( picnic concert) to see James Morrison- yes, he is fab, anyway it was maxi dress city. A perfect evening and so many versions, in the end even my husband was saying " oh look another maxi dress ". I felt very proud, as after being together for 14 years he finally knows the difference between a skirt and a dress- we really have made progress!
Will you be wearing a maxi?

Here comes the sun

Hi,
Hoorah at last Summer has arrived. Now we can all moan that it is too hot!!!
I have found the perfect dress for these steamy Summer days- this print maxi dress is from River Island £34.99. Cool and classy, in a fab print- it is also great for the days when we forgotton to shave or wax our legs- a dress that covers all options.
Will you be wearing the maxi this Summer?
