Do's and Don'ts of Style (not fashion)

• Do dare to go bare and wear no nail polish... (But Just not without soaking them in lemon juice to make sure the tips are white!)
• Do roll up the hem of your jeans and leggings - you can change the look of your whole outfit
• Do add your own beauty spot to your face & work your inner 50s Girl
• Do wear coloured shoes, flats as well as heels
• Do use bleach to paint logos/slogans on plain t-shirts and rock it like you brought it
• Do cut some old jeans into summer shorts and take a trip to a haberdashery shop and add studs, tassels or whatever else floats your boat
• Do invest in a perfume that's your 'signature'... that unforgettable smell
• Do do Mens clothing... oversized shirts, jumpers (belt it if you must) hats, glasses... just cool.
• Find a cool good quality unique brooch, one that is very you and put it in an unexpected place, like the nape of your neck on a jacket (Imagine an oversized oxidised silver ladybird on the nape of your neck on a edgy crop jacket!), or the side of your handbag, or a smaller brooch at the bottom of some skinny jeans with heels. 
• Do, definitely do show your back and not your front... that's right high neck backless tops/dresses... yup bring your 'Sexy Back'. Your back is sensual and I'd go as far as to say more then your front assets!
• Do use an old style elegant paper hand fan in summer, one of those you can whip open - supreme summer accessory (especially for S/S'13)

• Don't live in Black
• Don't be so matchy matchy, what's more of a statement then some whimsical combinations?
• Don't be afraid of coloured coats in the winter, find a colour that suits you, but if you really must wear black - wear some printed or coloured leather gloves .... go for it.
• Don't forget your sunglasses - more so for protection from UV rays and wrinkle formation then merely for style (hehe who am I kidding?!)
• Don't be embarrassed if you shop in a cheap fast fashion store, the key is to mix it up with other brands, its a great feeling to get a bargain and make it look good!
• Don't wear 'On trend' jeans, just because they are 'On trend', if they don't suit you- they don't suit you. Don't pretend to yourself, look in the mirror and be honest and find a shape that actually works, whether its skinny, high waised, low-rise, wide leg, carrot cut, cropped... pair them with other seasonal key pieces, tops, accessories, shoes, hairstyle... and you're on to something, style + confidence = winner.
• Don't Ever walk with your head down, even if you don't feel great, hold your head up breathe in the fresh air and smile, then allow your positive actions to make you feel good
• Don't feel like you have to make an effort every day, bedhead hair, curled eyelashes and lipseal are the height of sexy.
• Don't think you can't be stylish without money... it's just not true.
