There's no denying we are in the influencer era. Despite the fact some people are saying it's over...! To be able to see someone who is your size and shape wearing an outfit rather than just a skinny size 8, 5ft 8" model is so much more enticing and it's a very powerful marketing tool for brands.  I was joined today by Jo, the founder of clothing company The Cotswold Shed and Rachel from @rachellovesstyle Both ladies share their style stories and evolution over the years. We all agreed we have become more confident as we've got older but some people hold back as they get older and worry too much about what others think. Hopefully we can help people to see there is a lot of joy to be found in wearing a great outfit!   if you are enjoying the podcast, please remember to hit the follow button and leave a review. ❤️   Join my free Facebook Group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/stylepowerwithlisagillbe Work with me in-person on your wardrobe: https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/ For any PR or sponsorship enquiries email, [email protected] Today's guests Find Jo here: https://www.thecotswoldshed.com/ Find Rachel here: https://www.instagram.com/rachel.loves.style/?hl=en   Thanks you for listening.

Corporate Lawyer, Board Advisor, Instagram star and mum of Two Lisa Marinelli joined me on the podcast this week to discuss how you can dress fashionably at work and still be taken seriously. You do not have to dress in dull corporate clothes anymore - in fact, showing some flair and personality in the workplace helps you stand out in a competitive world. We all thrive when are more authentically ourselves and dressing with confidence helps you to appear confident to others instantly.   Does your work wardrobe need a shake up?   “When I first started out as a lawyer, I bought a suit because I thought that’s what I needed to wear to feel like I belonged in a corporate setting. But soon enough, you realize that a black suit is not really an expression of anything. I started playing with the idea of ‘power dressing’ by finding the colours that made me feel the most confident" -Lisa Marinelli   Please remember to hit the follow button and subscribe so you don't miss any new episodes of the Style Stories Podcast.   You’ll hear about:   02:50 - How Lisa got into law and built her Instagram 05:01 - Is corporate fashion more relaxed in the gaming industry?              07:43 - Does Lisa wear relaxed clothes to work? 09:31 - Clothes can elevate you professionally 11:13 - Where did this creative outlet come from? 14:54 - Does Lisa have a work and weekend wardrobe? 17:27 - What pieces of her wardrobe does Lisa love? 20:21 - Needing accessories more than clothes 22:58 - Shopping pre-loved and for her 5'2" height 28:07 - Lisa's style in 3 words   Find Lisa here:   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lisaingmarinelli/channel/   Lisa was featured on Net a Porter recently, read more here:   https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-gb/porter/article-30e3a28c1bee1b73/fashion/art-of-style/working-wardrobe-lisa-ing-marinelli   Find out more about me:   Book Lisa's Sixty Minute Styling Session here:   https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/60min-styling-session   Follow Lisa on Instagram here:   https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/   Lisa's website and 'in-person' services here:   https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/   #personalstyle #personalstylist #fashionpodcast

Who said you had to conform to one style in life? Quite simply you don’t, and life can be so much more joyful for it. In this episode I am joined by style chameleon Keira O’Mara who lives this way, where every day can be different. She changes her style according to her mood that day rather than reaching for one of the same 10 outfits many of us stick to. Sounds like a fun way to live right? Keira shares what it means to be a style chameleon and why it brings her so much joy. She also talks about her accessories brand Scott-Samuel, including the stunning bags and capes. Clothes have the power to make you feel great, and the joy of experimenting with different outfits can give you confidence in expressing oneself through fashion.   Let’s hear from Keira to find out how!   “Deciding who you want to be on a day-to-day basis, to me, is utterly joyful”– Keira O’Mara   Please remember to hit the follow button and subscribe so you don't miss any new episodes of the Style Stories Podcast.   You’ll hear about:   02:13 - How Keira started Scott Samuel                                                              05:30 - Keira's amazing bags & capes 08:39 - Lisa on being a style chameleon 15:10 - Describe your style in 3 words 16:56 - The joy of deciding who you want to be every day 22:21 - Does Keira fell any media pressures? 25:46 - What are Keira's go to outfits?   Find Keira here:   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/scottsamuel.co.uk/?hl=en Scott-Samuel linktree - https://linktr.ee/scottsamuel Scott-Samuel - https://scott-samuel.co.uk/   Find out more about me:   Book Lisa's Sixty Minute Styling Session here: https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/60min-styling-session   Follow Lisa on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/   Lisa's website and 'in-person' services here: https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/   #personalstyle #personalstylist #fashionpodcast

Do you love the French look?   Timeless and effortless. But how do you actually achieve it?   In this episode I am joined by Founder of Aurélie, Lucy Robinson. She has created a wonderful brand with a personal touch. Lucy writes handwritten notes with every order, to make each and every purchase feel special.   Aurélie is all about creating timeless looks rather than following fast fashion trends, something French fashion is all about. Lucy shares how to get the French look from jeans to jackets, as well as why the French just get fashion right.   We also talk about how to feel confident in your clothes and the impacts the information we see in the media can have on us.   One of the most important messages from this episode is to learn more about yourself and make sure that your wardrobe reflects that at all stages of life.   “The French get it, because it’s timeless and they don’t follow trends.” – Lucy Robinson   Please remember to hit the follow button and subscribe so you don't miss any new episodes of the Style Stories Podcast.   You’ll hear about:   01:21 – Aurélie and the personal touch 03:54 - The real life Emily in Paris 07:37 - Why do the French get it right? 11:56 - The story your clothes tell about you 15:55 - Feeling confident in clothes 19:08 - Learning about yourself 24:17 - Does Lucy have best sellers? 28:03 - Your expert guide to jeans 33:08 - The power of the jacket   Find Lucy & Amélie here:   Aurélie’s website - https://aurelie.co.uk/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aurelie.co.uk/   Find out more about me:   Book Lisa's Sixty Minute Styling Session here:   https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/60min-styling-session   Follow Lisa on Instagram here:   https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/   Lisa's website and 'in-person' services here:   https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/   #personalstyle #personalstylist #fashionpodcast

Do you ever feel stuck in a rut with your clothes?   You don’t know what to choose, or what goes with what. You feel like it’s just all too overwhelming. Well, you’re not alone.   In this episode I am joined by the fabulous Amy Simpson and Lisa Farley, creators of NUDI SPRAY™. They share their struggles when choosing outfits to wear, either from their wardrobe or when out shopping. Something I’m sure we’ve all been through. We chat about how to overcome these challenges by taking away the confusion and what items can make an outfit.   Amy and Lisa also tell all about their amazing product NUDI SPRAY™, something that will revolutionise the lives of so many women out there going through perimenopause and menopause.   They had a moment of inspiration during 2022 whilst comparing sticky patch stories following their summer holidays. Neither friend had discovered a reliable, effective or easy means of removing HRT patch glue, leaving them feeling self-conscious about living very publicly with unsightly marks on their skin.   This led them on a quest to find a solution, and after months of research and development, they had created NUDI SPRAY™.   “If you’re reaching for some mayonnaise and rubbing it all over your legs, you’re at a new low” – Amy Simpson   Please remember to hit the follow button and subscribe so you don't miss any new episodes of the Style Stories Podcast.   You’ll hear about:   01:53 - An introduction to Amy, Lisa & NUDI SPRAY™ 04:35 - The benefits of talking about menopause   06:49 - Demonstrating NUDI SPRAY™ 07:27 - Davina McCalll & product updates 14:02 - Age and how we dress 18:43 - Confused minds can't make decisions 24:11 - The sweet spot when dressing 26:48 - Railing against is it too young for me? 30:49 - Rebelling against conformity 32:42 - The 3rd piece makes an outfit   Find Amy & Lisa here:   NUDI SPRAY™ website: https://www.nudispray.com/ NUDI SPRAY™ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nudispray/   Find out more about me:   Book Lisa's Sixty Minute Styling Session here: https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/60min-styling-session   Follow Lisa on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/   Lisa's website and 'in-person' services here: https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/   #personalstyle #personalstylist #fashionpodcast
