This week Lisa was joined by podcast host, TV presenter and stylist Emma Lightbown to talk all things style. Emma mostly styles for TV and adverts and explains how the clothes the actors wear are crucial to telling the viewer who they are. This is also true in real life, what you wear tells a story about you.  If you think about TV dramas, the characters are always dressed ina way that brings their character and back story to life so WE the viewer believe in their story. This is a great example of just how powerful visual/non-verbal communication really is! What you wear tells a story about you because that's a big part of how humans communicate with each other.  We also discussed the changing face of the High Street - how it's so much harder to shop right now because so many shops are closing down. Emma shares her passion for Vinted shopping and we disagreed on the joys of shopping in TK Maxx! You've got to be in the mood to shop in there...! I hope you enjoy this week's episode.

A bit of a workwear special today - especially if you work in Corporate but these tips apply to any workplace. As I've mentioned many times on this podcast, what you wear matters. Clothes can be used as a tool for success and importantly as armour to help you look polished and professional and feel it inside.    But that's not enough by itself. Of course you need to be good at your job as well as looking the part and this is the topic of discussion in today's podcast.   If you work in a professional environment or a corporate workplace, how do you look and feel your most confident self?   I invited Annelise Peso, a leadership coach onto the podcast to discuss this and lots more. Annelise is an ex-corporate lawyer who used to be Head of Legal at Morgan Stanley. She is now a leadership coach helping executives in demanding jobs to show up as the best version of themselves at work whilst looking after their own well being. Annelise is also an Italian passionate love of fashion! She shares how important her style is to her and why you shouldn't be afraid of dressing up.  We cover: - The power of self care - Boundaries at work - How to look and feel confident in a demanding workplace - How to deal with stress at work - Fashion and its place in the workplace today.   Annelise's website: https://www.annelisepesa.com/ Annelise on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annelise_pesa/?hl=en   Follow Lisa on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/?hl=en   Lisa's website: https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/   Sign up to Lisa's newsletter and 'shop the pod' http://eepurl.com/eZu32   #fashionpodcast #personalstyle #corporatelaywer #womeninbusiness #leadership

This week’s episode is all about colour and the fascinating psychology behind it. Colour makes us feel things, we associate times and feelings with certain colours. Lots of people can’t bear to wear their school uniform colours and I've got a strange hatred of the colour orange.  This episode really went off on some interesting tangents! I love it when that happens, when the chat just flows and you make new discoveries along the way.  My guest today was my friend and long-time collaborator Teresa Klasener. Teresa is the resident mindset coach here on The Style Stories Podcast and an avid fan of wearing bright colours and loves a bright lipstick.    In this episode we covered:   The Psychology of colour Using colour to tell a story in the movie Poor Things What is colour analysis – is it naff or worth it? Why block colour makes us think of American newsreaders Why self-proclaimed stylish people turn their noses up at wearing colour How colour can be used to create a mood in movies How brands use colour to make us buy stuff   I hope you enjoy this week's episode, I really loved this discussion.   If you have any ideas for topics on the podcast, please contact Lisa – [email protected]   Follow Teresa Klasener here: https://www.instagram.com/youatwork/   Follow Lisa here: https://www.instagram.com/lisegillbestylist/   Work with Lisa 1:1 on your wardrobe: https://www.lisagillbestyle.com/   Sign up to Lisa’s newsletter here: http://eepurl.com/eZu32
