The Style Stories Podcast

Lots of us have to get up and speak to a crowd at some point and confidence is key! This is a special episode dedicated to public speaking with grace, confidence and gravitas with a true expert, Caroline Goyder.

I've known Caroline for many years now and love her compassionate, calm take on how you can own a stage. She is the queen of owning who you really are and leaning into that - not trying to be someone you are not or someone other people expect you to be.

This is a big part of the essence of The Style Stories Podcast. Being authentically who you are through your style but also in how you speak and act! In this episode we covered:

- How important it is to say yes to things that scare you

- How to be authentically yourself when public speaking/on stage and why it matters

- How to battle the nerves and self-doubt

- How everyone has imposter syndrome and why that is a good and normal thing!

- Also, what to wear when public speaking 👗

Caroline Goyder is the author of 3 books with two of them dedicated to public speaking.

She has done a Ted Talk that has been watched over 10 MILLION times! Watch that here.

She is also a course creator and has a ton of free resources to help you if you need to step up publicly at work.

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 also true in real life, what you wear tells a story about you. 

If you think about TV dramas, the characters are always dressed ina way that brings their character and back story to life so WE the viewer believe in their story. This is a great example of just how powerful visual/non-verbal communication really is! What you wear tells a story about you because that's a big part of how humans communicate with each other. 

We also discussed the changing face of the High Street - how it's so much harder to shop right now because so many shops are closing down. Emma shares her passion for Vinted shopping and we disagreed on the joys of shopping in TK Maxx! You've got to be in the mood to shop in there...!

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 professional environment or a corporate workplace, how do you look and feel your most confident self?

I invited Annelise Peso, a leadership coach onto the podcast to discuss this and lots more. Annelise is an ex-corporate lawyer who used to be Head of Legal at Morgan Stanley. She is now a leadership coach helping executives in demanding jobs to show up as the best version of themselves at work whilst looking after their own well being. Annelise is also an Italian passionate love of fashion! She shares how important her style is to her and why you shouldn't be afraid of dressing up. 

We cover:

- The power of self care

- Boundaries at work

- How to look and feel confident in a demanding workplace

- How to deal with stress at work

- Fashion and its place in the workplace today.

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. Lots of people can’t bear to wear their school uniform colours and I've got a strange hatred of the colour orange. 

This episode really went off on some interesting tangents! 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 Teresa Klasener. Teresa is the resident mindset coach here on The Style Stories Podcast and an avid fan of wearing bright colours and loves a bright lipstick. 

In this episode we covered:

• The Psychology of colour
• Using colour to tell a story in the movie Poor Things
• What is colour analysis – is it naff or worth it?
• Why block colour makes us think of American newsreaders
• Why self-proclaimed stylish people turn their noses up at wearing colour
• How colour can be used to create a mood in movies
• How brands use colour to make us buy stuff

I hope you enjoy this week's episode, I really loved this discussion.

I am joined by one of my listeners this week - Zena Everett. Zena is a leadership coach, author and public speaker and she helps people to project confidently at work. My job is to help people LOOK the part at work so our skills work well in tandem. We had an interesting discussion around:

- Using clothes as armour at work

- How our style evolves over the years as we transition through life

- Why you don't need to look like everyone else at work anymore

- The modern workwear minefield 

- Plus we asked, can you be taken seriously at work if you wear stylish clothes (spoiler alert - YES of course you can)

We covered a lot - this episode is focussed on how to project yourself in the workplace from the point of view of a stylist and a leadership coach.

We also did a giveaway. Get a free copy of Zena's book if you follow us both on Instagram and DM each of us saying 'BOOK'

Following on from the last two episodes with fellow London Stylist Lizzie Edwards, I am digging deeper into how to create a perfect capsule wardrobe.

This is going to look different for everyone. We are all so different! One person loves wearing dresses and florals, another is a minimalist. It's all about your taste and your vibe so how does this translate into your actual wardrobe?

In this episode I cover 4 main things you can do to really nail this down. The benefits that follow after are amazing! Once you know what really works you can ignore what doesn't, shop more efficiently and get so much more from your wardrobe. Dressing like your authentic self massively boosts confidence too and that has positive effects throughout life.

If you feel stuck in a style rut then it's probably time for a change. The start of a new year is a perfect time to reassess your style and I've got the tools to help you do that.

This first episode sets the scene and we discuss why it's important to pay attention to what you wear and how you can get clear on your personal style. In part 2, Lizzie is sharing her actionable tips on how to get a streamlined wardrobe and clarity on your personal style so you can build a wardrobe that is perfect for you.

Have you planned what you are wearing this holiday season? It's December 1st today and that means it is acceptable to wear sequins all day, every day! If you want to of course, there are plenty of people who do not and prefer a low-key more casual vibe this time of year. In this episode I have lots of ideas for festive party dressing from casual and low-key to FULL-ON 'extra' party dressing. I also created a blog to go with this episode so you've got a visual guide and can shop entire outfits with ease. Check out the blog here

It becomes easier to shop, it's easier to create outfits that feel like you and you get more from your wardrobe as a whole. You will save a ton of time getting dressed each day and look and feel like the best, most elevated version of yourself. I am not kidding! Just by coming up with 3 words that describe how you want to get dressed, you will unlock your personal style and be able to translate that into your outfits. This is something I have been teaching for years now and the transformation it gives people is truly epic! I hope you get a lot from this episode. So, what are your 3 style words? Listen to find out what I'm talking about and how this is going to supercharge your style. 🚀

It's true that 'fit is king' - do you know your body shape and proportions? Once you do you can dress to flatter yours more and increase confidence whilst reducing choice in the shops! Sounds good? Tune in for this latest episode and let's get your wardrobe into shape. 💪

This week I'm excited to have The Style Stories regular - Teresa Klasener joining me on the podcast to talk all things mindset.

What the hell has mindset got to do with style and fashion? EVERYTHING. Because your mindset plays a massive part in ruling your life. It can be a powerful tool or it can hold you back and it's well worth having a listen to find out how.

One of the main reasons people get stuck in a frustrating mindset is because they have fixed ideas about what they like or what they feel they 'should' wear. This only holds back your style and keeps you stuck. 

You could be having so much fun with your style but are you feeling stuck with it? Make sure you have a listen, there is so much to learn in this episode.

'Every good wardrobe starts with a declutter' is one of my most said sayings because I'm determined to hammer this point home! I have been a personal stylist for 15 years and I have seen inside literally hundreds of wardrobes. I can confirm that it is very rare to find a perfectly organised wardrobe - I usually come across wardrobes stuffed full of clothes ut not even the right clothes. No wonder so many people struggle to find good outfits and end up buying random stuff so often.

In this episode, I take you through the steps to effectively declutter your wardrobe. Taking the time to do this will have instantly positive results on your style, you will feel lighter and more in control of your wardrobe. You will have less clothes but more outfits and be able to shop in a much more laser-focused and efficient way.

This episode is the first step on your journey to great style. It all starts here, it always starts with a thorough declutter.

In this week's episode I am joined by the best-selling author of the book - Big Dress Energy, consultant, TV commentator, podcast host and fashion psychologist Shakaila Forbes-Bell to find out what BDE is and how you can use it to be the absolute best-dressed version of yourself. Buckle-up because you are going to learn so many gems in this episode you won't look at your style and wardrobe in the same way again! This is powerful stuff from Shakaila who has recently appeared on Lorraine and This Morning to discuss this hot topic - the psychology behind clothes. It is fascinating stuff that will transform how you get dressed! I have to say, this particular episode of The Style Stories Podcast is one of the most eye-opening and transformative episodes I have ever recorded and I am SO excited to share it with you. You need to hear this if you are stuck in a style rut, or unsure about what your style is, or have been struggling to shop for clothes. It's for you if you have a wardrobe full of clothes BUT still feel like you have no good outfits! Hell, everyone needs this deep dive into WHY we get dressed the way we do. Uncovering your personal style is one of the most transformative things you can do for yourself - what you wear and your style is part of your identity after all so it's pretty important in the great scheme of things. You can use clothes to seduce and be alluring, to get jobs, to influence others, to feel good about yourself and to hide away too. Above all, fashion is FUN and should bring you joy. I really hope you enjoy listening to the brilliant Shakaila Forbes-Bell as much as I enjoyed interviewing her.

This week I am joined by fellow stylists Sarah Gilfilan from Sartoria Lab and Sally Smy from Queen Bee Styling to discuss Spring wardrobe must-haves, our favourite brands, favourite trends and the faux death of the floral dress! What does the latter mean I hear you ask!? Well, tune in to hear more but in short, John Lewis announced that no-one is going to be wearing floral maxi's anymore and this is a dead trend.

We discuss how the dress is probably one of the most useful pieces you can have in the wardrobe so this sweeping statement must be nonsense. The best way to dress? In a style that suits your personality and lifestyle - forget the trends, find what you love and stick with that.❤️

Brands we talked about: Sideline, Reiss, New Day Originals, Rixo, Aspiga, Anine Bing, Nobody's Child, NN07, Norse Projects, John Lewis.

This week I am joined by the professional copywriter and fashion lover Georgina Nestor. Georgina is wildly successful in her field and shares the same values as I do around the importance of showing up authentically, not caring what others think and saying it how it is.

Georgina loves fashion and make up and her image is a really important part of who she is. She believes in using clothes and make up to improve your mood and be successful in life.

We discussed how lots of plus size woman find it really difficult to shop on the high street and how by now it should be a lot easier. Georgina shares where she shops, great jeans and how there is still a long way to go for representation in the shops. She still finds it easier to shop online and usually finds that bigger clothes in the shops are frumpy and tucked away in the corner of a store. Things still need to change.

I hope you enjoy this episode.

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. The subtext is ditch your suits unless you have an important meeting but what do you wear the rest of the time? 

We discuss this and lots more in this week's chatty episode. 

The common thread that runs through all of these podcasts is how important it is to wear what you love and understand what that is. Until you spend a bit of time working out the styles of clothes that really suit you and make you feel 'right' it is easy to get distracted and make mistakes. Instead of focusing on trends, concentrate instead on building a wardrobe that has longevity with key pieces that really suit you and make you happy. If you suit skinny jeans and all the fashion editors are saying they are 'out' and you don't suit wide leg jeans which are 'in' isn't it better to wear the shape that suits you?

Once you find your personal style it becomes easier to shop and pull together a wardrobe you love. Listening to your gut and working out what works is time well spent. 

This is the main topic of discussion with today's guest Finula Crowe of dress brand New Day Originals. Fin created the brand in lockdown in 2020 when she had to shut down her event dress boutique. She really hasn't looked back since and now creates beautiful, sustainable and wearable dresses that elevate any wardrobe.✨

This week on the podcast I am joined by Hannah Pearn, an expert in acupuncture for fertility.

Hannah LOVES fashion and she's been on the podcast before and spoke with such passion about both topics, fertility and fashion, I invited her on again. Hannah helps many women struggling to conceive with her specific acupuncture and other therapies at her London clinic and with online courses (her website is below if this affects you). As a person, Hannah believes in the power of fashion, she always dresses up for her clinic days and she has a signature style. She has an impressive haul of jumpsuits in particular which really work for her life and style. You know the saying, if it 'aint broke, don't fix it. How lovely to simplify your fashion choices in a busy world full of so many choices! She also chats about how you shouldn't shop with PMT and how your cycle affects how you feel like getting dressed. Fascinating stuff! Like I always say on this podcast, find your personal style and everything falls into place.

This is a special episode all about choosing the right glasses for your face and personal style. It's actually a really difficult decision and glasses often aren't cheap either so you want to get it right. Zoe has lots of tips to share and is a total expert in the eyewear sector.  Whilst face shape is a consideration, personal style is more important because you've got to feel like yourself! Glasses can really make an outfit, they can be a statement, or they can drag down an outfit too if you play it too safe. The thing is, there's no need to play it safe these days as there is so much choice.  Rather than go to Specsavers (no offense Specsavers) Zoe talks about all the wonderful independent brands and shops that should not be overlooked. There really is something out there for everyone. If you prefer a more classic look she has the brands for you, if you'd rather make a bold statement then there are some excellent brands out there that can really elevate your look in an instant. If you've got to wear glasses, why not have some fun doing it🤷‍♀️ If you'd like some professional advice directly with Zoe you can book a Zoom consultation with her or she can even accompany you to choose your glasses.

The Monthly Mash Up episode is when I am joined by fellow stylists to talk about what we've spotted in the shops, trends, TV, and anything that's been going on around us this month that is (mostly) style-related.

In this week's episode, I manage to offend the whole City of Portsmouth completely by accident whilst trying to make an important point! Luckily Sally of Queen Bee Styling was on hand to dig me out of a hole and eloquently explain where I was coming from! The point was, people dress down to hide, it can show a lack of confidence. There was a particular brand we were discussing when this conversation came about. It's a very well-known brand that we both find in our client's wardrobes and 9/10 end up throwing away! Tune in to hear more.

Accessories can really make an outfit. It's a super quick and easy way to add personality and interest and also to look like you've got dressed intentionally. Even when you are wearing a pair of jeans and a white tee, by adding jewellery you can create a great outfit. This week on the podcast I am joined by my favourite jewellery designer Amy Elson, the designer behind Chambers & Beau.

All Chambers & Beau jewellery is handmade in Amy's studio in Devon UK. She started doing personalised jewellery when no-one else really was. Her pieces are unique and make really thoughtful gifts and she is also a master of layering. Layering jewellery is a quick and easy way to add a bit of cool to your outfit. 

Listen to Amy tell the story behind Chambers & Beau and how she stumbled into having her own jewellery business.

This week I am joined by very successful and very beautiful 52 year old silver haired curve model Rachel Peru. Rachel recently posted a reel on her Instagram (see reel here) of her wearing a tailored blazer with a bralette underneath. This post got lots and lots of positive comments but it also attracted a lot of negative comments like "tell nanna to take her medication" (from a man) and lots of "you are too old for this, put it away" (from women). The comments were worse on Facebook which is interesting...

Tune in to hear our chat about how this felt for Rachel and why we think this happens. Why don't women support women and why do the media still tell women over 40 not to wear certain things and blend into the background? 😤 Getting older can be the best time in your life in so many ways and feeling confident in your outfits is one of them. Hopefully as we get older we get more into our vibe and know ourselves a lot better, it's a shame the trolls don't feel the same.

Most of my personal styling clients tell me they want to look "pulled together but not too try-hard" - People worry about looking 'try-hard' because they don't want others to think they've spent a lot of time on how they look in case they are deemed to be vain or vacuous. People fear that paying attention to their clothes and image is frivolous and not important.

This could not be further from the truth. Investing in your mage helps you at work. It helps you to influence others, look senior or authoritative, get you more pay and get promotions. Dressing well boosts confidence and is one of the more joyful things in life. So why do people put this on the back burner and not bother looking at their wardrobe and investing in it when it can make such a difference to your life?

🔥 I'm running through why it pays to invest in your image and 7 ways you can get more clarity on your style so you can upgrade your image.🔥

What do you actually need in your wardrobe and how can you look pulled together? It's better to be considered about what you buy and make sure your wardrobe contains hard working pieces that stand the test of time and help you to feel great. We all want an easy answer of what to wear in the morning and there are certain core pieces that can do that. I've come up with 5 things that will instantly elevate your outfits and make you look chic and pulled together. ✨

Pieces I mention:

1. Smart boots. I got these.from Russell & Bromley, a copy of The Row boots

2. Leather skinny trousers. These are good quality.

3. A smart wool coat. I recommend many on the podcast but I've got my eye on this gingham one. 

4. Cashmere jumper. John Lewis and M&S have lots at very reasonable prices.

5. A chunky gold necklace. A brilliantly easy way to upgrade your outfit. I love these 3 brands:

I've done an edit from the shops for this week's episode that is also accompanied by a blog so you can see the pieces I'm suggesting. It's time-consuming to trawl the shops and it's also time-consuming just to work out the actual pieces you need!

What's been happening in October and what fashion has caught our eye? I'm joined again by stylists Sarah and Sally to de-brief the month including BBC weathermen wearing trainers, Liz Truss making mess but in a nice dress and the main topic of the show, work dress codes - what they are now, how to decipher them and what to wear to get it spot on. We also cover how our work as personal stylists is completely different to ordering a box of 'styled' clothes in the post from well-known companies.

Today is such a fascinating episode packed full of ideas to really get you thinking about how you get dressed, why you hang on to clothes you don't need, and how your influences have shaped your identity. It's all about clothes but a lot LOT more this week. 

I see every day in my work how people hold themselves back with what they wear and how they act because of limiting beliefs and mindsets. However I am not a mindset expert so I invited mindset coach Teresa Klasener to come and share her thoughts on this important topic.

Welcome to a brand new monthly episode I am calling The Monthly Mash-Up. Each month, I will be discussing what's been going on in the world and who has been wearing what. This month (September) I am joined by fellow London stylists Sarah from Sartoria Lab and Sally from Queen Bee Styling. Our gaze this month is on The Duchess of Sussex and Carrie Johnson who have both had a lot of flak in the media this month for their outfit choices. We also pay our respects to Queen Elizabeth II and how she used colour very cleverly in her outfits and was never without her signature handbag. As well as all that we are discussing why clothes matter and getting into the minds of those who think it's frivolous and unimportant.

"Dress Shabbily and they remember the dress, dress impeccably and they notice the woman" Coco Chanel. Sage advice from the doyenne of style. Your clothes speak, they are part of your message and they can be used to your advantage. Are you someone who blends in but wishes you were braver, or someone who stands out unapologetically? Too often women blend in when they shouldn't but sometimes it is appropriate and can be a clever tactic. This week I'm giving my thoughts on this using Carrie Johnson and the new UK PM Liz Truss as examples. One of them blended in cleverly and the other stood out in a power move. Which was right or were both? This episode will get you thinking differently about your wardrobe and the messages it sends.

I know lots of us have been working all through August but September has that 'back to school' vibe. Time to refresh the wardrobe for a new season and maybe have a little style re-invention along the way. This episode is all about making sure you have the right things in your wardrobe for work so you have a stylish mix-and-match smart wardrobe. It's important to do a bit of prep first so you shop with intent and don't double up on things you already have. Also, your perspective on your style might have changed so what worked before, may not work this time around. September really is the best time take stock of your wardrobe and make some tweaks if necessary.  I'm sharing the top 8 pieces to have in your wardrobe this autumn.🍁

I am joined this week by fashion lover Hannah Pearn. Like me, Hannah doesn't believe in being invisible as you get older. Quite the opposite in fact, we are both finding that as you get older you know yourself better, care less about what others think and feel more confident exploring style. We both agree that fashion is self care ad brings a lot of joy to life! As well as loving clothes, Hannah is also an acupuncturist specialising in fertility and she is sharing her entrepreneurial story from when she trained 10 years ago to enjoying huge success in her business right through lockdown. Yes, lockdown and the pandemic has quite a few business success stories and it's nice to know it wasn't all doo and gloom. Acupuncture can benefit women's health from fertility through to menopause - it's fascinating stuff! We do talk a lot of style too though, tune in and hear about Hannah's love of clothes and how they power her through a busy life. Get ready for some fashion AND business inspiration all in one.

We all know French women's style is Tres Chic but what are the style rules they follow to achieve this? I'm joined by real-life "Emily in Paris' founder of gorgeous French brand Aurelie. This is an inspiring chat about how the brand was born during a worldwide pandemic, plus how French women dress in their own way and how they get it so right. 

We are bombarded with trends in the UK and I'm pretty sure America is similar. It means we have so much choice to trawl through it becomes overwhelming. French women have a completely different approach. 

I'm a champion of independent labels and so finding a new brand like Aurelie is exciting! If you feel the same and love new ideas for your wardrobe then delve in to this episode! On this new season of 'The Style Stories' podcast I'm enjoying sharing stories about lockdown success'.

I'm joined today by the wonderful Finula Crowe, founder of New Day Originals, an independent label that creates beautiful wearable 'boho glam' dresses that are also completely sustainable. Fin shares her story from a business collapse at the start of lockdown to refusing to give up and creating New Day Originals out of the rubble. It's been a huge learning curve and Fin has learnt a lot along the way about her own style and the way she wants to dress now. We all evolve and grow all the time and what we wear can really define where we are in life and how we feel. 

We also chat about dressing for ourselves and wearing what makes us happy rather than what we 'should' wear or what we think society or men want us to wear. When you get to that point, it's truly freeing.

Today I am giving tips on how to get clear on what really works for you. We are using the power of decluttering and Pinterest to hone-in on your style and start to let old habits die whilst getting rid of clutter and breaking free from style ruts! Change is good yet people cling to tried and tested styles of clothes and end up wearing the same things for years.

Also, there is so much guilt hanging in the wardrobe because people feel that because they have spent money on clothes they shouldn't get rid of them! All this does is mean you have a wardrobe full of clothes you don't really love that are creating clutter which then makes it super hard to find outfits.

This also makes it super hard to shop with intent, to know what wardrobe gaps you actually have and the pieces you do need to create good outfits.

Wouldn't it feel good to have just a few clothes you wear all the time that are perfect for you instead of a mish-mash wardrobe full of random clothes?  

Join me as I go through the most common reasons people hang on to clothes they don't need or wear, how we evolve and our wardrobes should too and how to get the clarity start confidently putting together outfits that work for you with far less clothes!

Why does style matter? More importantly, why does finding your personal style matter? Believe me, it can be life changing in so many ways.

Dress codes at work have relaxed and as we venture back into the office, what can we expect to see in 2022? It used to be seen as frivolous to wear anything other than a suit at work but that is a distant memory.

I invited two fellow personal stylists based near me in London UK to review the year. We talk about how the way we want to dress has been affected by the pandemic at work and just in normal circumstances. Also how dressing well can change how you feel, influence others and increase confidence. It was great to have these two highly experienced stylists and hear what they had to say about style and image.

Clothes should bring you joy, make you feel good about yourself, boost your confidence and help to make life more fun! Why then is it that so many people are too scared to wear things that aren't plain or 'safe' and when they do wear something glamorous, feel like they are being a show off in some way. This is why so many people end up in a style rut, wearing the same safe styles of clothes over and over again when they could be looking and feeling far more fabulous! Life is too short for boring clothes. This episode is all about fashion imposter syndrome and how to break away from that, be brave and enjoy your wardrobe more.
