It's Off To Work I Go


I am off to work with a new client. It is going to be a very physical, messy afternoon because our goal today is to clear as much clutter and junk from her loft as possible. On days like this I need to dress comfortably because there is a lot of lifting, moving, and climbing in and around all the clutter. Not to mention it can get quite dirty.

A Need for Exercise

Checking Out The Sales


London came to a complete standstill when the snow arrived. Fortunately I am able to do quite a bit of work from home , so the snow didn't slow me down. It took a couple of days for things to get back to some form of normal which is when I headed out to check see what I could find in the January sales.

Back To Work



I have hit the ground running today and rushed out to see my first client of 2010, so that I can help them get their year off to a more organised start. Comfort and flexibility is always important when helping a client clear their clutter and today's outfit fits the bill. Especially the green cords I bought at before Christmas.

Something New


Recently I have been looking through old photos of all the amazing clothing my parents wore in the 1960's and 70's and decided that I wanted to record my own fashion journey.  From that this blog 'Real Women Real Style' was born, I am looking forward to watching it grow up.
