It’s rumoured, Joan Collins is responsible for us wearing Jeans in the UK. My sources tell me she discovered them in the US, fell in love with their adaptable and easy wearability and decided to bring them home to Blightly. Before we knew it, everyone who was anyone was stretching denim across their derrieres!

It’s hard to imagine a Jeanless world! No bootcuts to slim and elongate, no skinny to dress up with heels and no slouchies to help comfort those dress down days. Some people ‘heart’ New York, some people ‘heart’ cake – Well, I ‘heart’ jeans!

I want to roll around in a field of denim, brush that sensual cotton against my skin and lay by moonlight staring deep into my jeans stitching!

Jeans are my love affair without compromise or expectation. They will never cheat on me (if I look after them), they will never make me pay the bill (if I wash them properly) and just when I need a little more affection, they squeeze my bum and hold me tight.

Gokettes – If you ever find a pair of jeans that treat you right, hold onto them for dear life as a good pair of denims is hard to find!

Last night at dinner I was asked, “what is the most common mistake women make with their clothes?”

This is a tricky one to answer since every woman is different but I think the area women struggle most is the basic fit.

We’ve all done it. We pile on the un-tailored, oversized baggy sweatshirts in a bid to disguise what we hate the most, most commonly our tummies and bums. The thing is girls, if you do that it will always make you look bigger! There is nothing wrong with layering up and adding dynamics to outfits with fine knits and soft jersey, but fleeces and sack like jumpers will not only drown your beautiful bodies, it will also suffocate your confidence.

I urge you girls, try to tailor up. It doesn’t matter what dress size you are, a well fitted jacket with a good shoulder or a fabulous pair of quality trousers will ALWAYS make you appear more in proportion!

Banish the bin liner baggies and flaunt that figure fitting fabulousness!!!

Viva La Glam!
