This week Lisa was joined by podcast host, TV presenter and stylist Emma Lightbown to talk all things style. Emma mostly styles for TV and adverts and explains how the clothes the actors wear are crucial to telling the viewer who they are.

This is a great...

A bit of a workwear special today - especially if you work in Corporate but these tips apply to any workplace. As I've mentioned many times on this podcast, what you wear matters. Clothes can be used as a tool for success and importantly as armour to help you look polished and professional and feel it inside.    But that's not enough by itself. Of course you need to be good at your job as well as looking the part and this is the topic of discussion in today's podcast.   If you work in a...

This week’s episode is all about colour and the fascinating psychology behind it. Colour makes us feel things, we associate times and feelings with certain colours.

I love it when that happens, when the chat just flows and you make new discoveries along the way.  My guest today was my friend and long-time collaborator...

No wonder so many people struggle to find good outfits and end up buying random stuff so often. In this...

This week a big City law firm sent an email round to staff saying 'dress like you are going to Annabel's (the exclusive private members club) - if that's not confusing as a work dress code I don't know what is.
