BEST MOMENTS

"I came out with such a feeling in my tummy of empowerment and confidence and guidance. I went out and bought a couple of cheap t-shirts in my colours, and then I started getting all these compliments."

"When you experience the menopause symptoms, that weight gain, brain fog, confidence it all hits rock bottom."

"Your clothes have to fit you. They have to follow the flow of your body. There needs to be proportion."

"There's a wonderful quote by Coco Chanel from donkeys years ago, which says 'If you dress shabby, they'll remember the dress. If you dress exquisitely, they'll remember the woman.'"

"Black is a barrier to communication and surprisingly enough for the ladies who think it makes them look slimmer. It's the way you wear your colours that makes you look slimmer, not black."

"Styling is all smoke and mirrors. It's all about a tweak here, a tweak there."

"You need to wrap your body in a flattering way."

"If you want to look healthier, if you want to look younger, if you want to look 10 pounds thinner, you don't need cosmetic surgery."
