Great news that ultra skinny is out with the Federal Government defining a new 'Body Image Code of Conduct'. A new body-image tick of approval will be awarded to magazines, modelling agencies and fashion labels that meet their criteria. I'm delighted they're getting a grip on body image and it's portrayal in the community. Read more on my blog.

Stylish Makeover - Stunning Sophie 
Meet Sophie Andrews, entrepreneur from The Soho Agency who was the winner in my 'Win a Personal Stylist' competition and she certainly looks fantastic. Sophie was so delighted with my shopping service that she booked in for a Colour Reinvention and a Style Makeover.
"The personal shopping trip with Robin was very enlightening, and a lot of fun, – so much so I asked Robin for a style makeover and organise a corporate photo shoot. Robin is extremely personable with a lovely fun attitude and she certainly knows her stuff. I will certainly be booking her again next Season!" Sophie Andrews
Photographed by the talented Vanessa Chaperlin from Happiness Photography, Sophie is nominated for 2010 Telstra Businesswomen's Awards.

Shop Like a Pro - Learn the Secrets
Image Consultants are fantastic for saving you time and money to choose that must have item or a brand new wardrobe. Some key secrets:
Only shop with someone you trust (not always your best friend), otherwise shop alone
Look the part with hair, makeup and good underwear
Always have a list and prioritise it, and most importantly set your budget
Be open to try on something you wouldn't usually wear
Know your body shape and only buy clothes that flatter it
Invest in pieces that you will wear the most eg. coat, jeans, black pants, jacket

Men - Art of Corporate Fashion
With the classic suit and tie back in force nothing beats a well groomed and suited man.
Keep your clothes pressed and replace your shirts when worn, no shabby collars!
A tie is a way to splash out and show your character, add a matching pocket chief for self expression. If you work in a law firm wear a fuller tie in blues or purples - more calming, try pink or classic red for an investment bank while in accounting or law stick to a conservative tie.
Shoes reflect attention to detail and two pairs of polished shoes are basic for a man's wardrobe.
Body Shape - Exercise, holistic health and grooming are intrinsic to a well dressed corporate man.
Love yourself and express your charm and most importantly smile. Women will love it!

Travel - Beauty Essentials
Packing the right products and accessories ensures a relaxed break with no last minute expensive buys. Don't pack clothes you've haven't tried on or experiment with new beauty products.

Snow - When heading for a cold climate pack a sunscreen and a SPF lip balm as UV rays reflect from the snow. Use a richer moisturiser than normal and a soapless cleanser to prevent your skin drying out. Take a colourful scarf and eyeshades to make a statement.
City - To look great take travel friendly ceramic straightening iron or heated rollers and check the voltage where you're headed. Also a thermal protecting spray and dry shampoo and some gorgeous jewellery to sparkle at night.
Beach - A water resistant broad spectrum sunscreen along with body butter, insect repellent, razor, sunglasses and lighter moisturiser. Pamper yourself with a pedicure in a bright shade and add beautiful lipstick, stunning hat and colourful sarong.
Plane - To look fresh on arrival carry a moisturiser and face mist to prevent skin dehydrating. If you can't buy travel sized products pour your faves into plastic containers such as Manicare. Remember the carryon liquid restrictions cannot exceed 100ml per bottle, which keeps your luggage weight manageable.
