Last week I was on CNN chatting about what Prince William might get his fiancee Kate Middleton for her birthday. I picked out a gorgeous sparkly dress from Reiss (unfortunately not on their website yet – we’ll be sure to keep you updated) which is a bit more racy than her usual chic day-to-day attire! Speaking of racy gifts, lingerie might be another option for the Prince but my top tip for men picking something out for their other halves is to stick to something that isn’t too lacy. Unfortunately we can’t embed the video on here but you can watch it on the CNN website here.

Don’t forget we first mentioned the label on everyone’s lips: Issa over the summer. The blue Issa dress that Kate wore for the engagement photos was incredibly flattering without being too covered up or frumpy, and it also accentuated her figure, which is exactly why I have bought the same dress with clients young and old as it suits all shapes and is quite timeless (and therefore suits a variety of ages).

Take a look at Lizzie’s interview with Roardiotv all about her background in fashion, what she does as a personal stylist and image consultant and what sets her aside from the competition! This is a great video to watch if you want to get to know Lizzie before booking an appointment with her, enjoy!

Last week I was interviewed by career coach Marianne Canwell for her blog Free Range Humans. She was interested in hearing how I started Babet Style Consultancy and became a Personal Stylist and Image Consultant.
And I really enjoyed it! It was actually an interesting experience for me to talk about my journey, and I rarely give much thought to where I was before, so it was good to remember how it all began and how far i’ve come!

And I apologise for the lack of blog posts and newsletter this month. Aside from getting marooned in Guernsey with one of my clients – thanks again for looking after me so well Lesley! – I am currently interviewing for an assistant, working with clients as the new season has meant a crazy diary, and so I have fallen behind with everything. I am catching now though, up so you will be hearing from me more soon!

In the meantime, take a look at the video and read more on on Free Range Humans and remember that if you dream of escaping the daily grind and starting your own thing – you can!
