My good friend Shanaz taught me years ago to read the labels (properly) on my clothes! It sounds ridiculous but this simple thing has dramatically improved my wardrobe.

Being in RESALE I get to see so many pieces that have been neglected and unworn after people have been influenced to buy them, despite not suiting them! I have also got carried away, but the TRUTH is, there are no SHORT CUTS. You have to do your own research and choose things that work […]
