Now that I have SO much free time on my hands (this is totally untrue, I feel like I have less time that I did before but at least I’m having fun), I was pleased to not have to cancel last minute on Style Review, a catwalk show that depicicted personal styling on real women – no skinny minny models here.

Fashion blogging fun and laughs L-R: Iolanthe Gattuso from Ruby Slipper, me, Michelle from Michelle’s Style File and Cecylia from Cecylia.com

Cindy Newstead hosts Style Review twice a year to show women how high street fashion can be incorporated into their wardrobes – and be worn to their advantage, meaning your clothes work for you and not the other way around.

Bloggers in technicolour: Cecylia, me, Kyra Pybus of Pybus PR and Iolanthe.

Seven models, ranging in age from mid 20s to mid 50s and in a spectrum of sizes, took to the catwalk to show off Cindy’s styling efforts in this seasons latest trends. We talked inverted triangles, boyish figures, ‘bits we all want to hide’ and other styling secrets and heard about the seven womens’ journey to find their perfect outfits.

I’m going to single out model Nicole for the purposes of this blog, simply because she wore Ted Baker for each outfit and I fell in love with every one. Blonde Nicole wore natural tones and camel hues so well and her height, further assisted with heels, made for some spectacular outfits.

Divine! Wishing I was as tall or as blonde as the lovely Nicole, but the whole Style Review exercise was proof to the women in attendence that there is something out there for everyone – no matter your shape, size or age.

The catwalk show was accompanied by a pop up shopping area, where I procured a gorgeous recycled resin ring in orange from Dames and Divas.

A big thanks to the Style Review team for having me along! See you in Spring.
