Helen Mirren in Vivienne Westwood

I’d love for you to go and have a look and start participating on my new Inside Out Style Forums you can register with your Facebook ID (so no need to remember extra passwords) and ask questions, leave tips etc. If there is a category you think I should add do let me know.  To start with then tell us something about you.  If you love your hairdresser or a particular shop or online store, recommend them.  Want to know what your body shape is ask away and post a photo.  I’m here to help.

To encourage you all to post on the forums I’m going to give away to the first 10 people who post a new topic with their questions/comments/recommendations, a copy of one of my ebooks (your choice).  So get posting and interacting!

I love that Helen Mirren has won best body of the year in Britain. That’s one for us girls over 40!

I’m mad keen on the crossover between our identity and our personal style and Une Femme has written a great post on this topic.

Ever thought about having breast reduction surgery?  Here is a post on one woman’s experience over at Hourglassy.
