SIA's New Year wishes for YOU are -

1. Colours which suit your complexion

2. Clothes & accessories which suit your body shape & height

3. Understanding fabrics and garment construction so that you have a better idea of what you are buying.  

Just the basics -

Not the fancy stuff

4. Knowing that the things that set you back the most are in your head. The classic set back is not buying flattering clothes until you loose weight. 

5. The antennae to run, not walk from a store when you are unsure. Even the slightest. If you keep running from a store, that's a sign, that you need to find other stores.

You will know when loot is right. Immediately. It's like love. 

6. Knowing that body size & money have little to do with looking good. Knowing in your heart, not just your head.  Like these girls. 

Looking good is all about effort, discipline and trying new things until something works. Lots of small changes will be more effective long term than one big makeover. Confidence is a by product. 

7. You can look good as you are, but you will always look better if you get out of your comfort zone. Even by a bit. 

8. There are other things that are important such as world peace and world hunger, but you cant solve everything. Stop focusing on the past, prioritise what's important & act until you see improvements. 

9. Follow Style into Action, follow "the rules" and you will look considerably better than if you don't. Not all the time, but 99 times out of 100. 

10. If all else fails, orange or blue boxes rule. Of course they do. 

Happy New Year & you know what you have to do!!
  

The Armani outfits at the Monaco wedding

Chanel may have been worn by Charlene Wittstock for her civil ceremony but the Armani big guns came out for the rest of the wedding formalities and celebrations.

Coupled with the fact that Giorgio Armani is my favourite designer on the planet, here is a run down of the GA outfits at the Monaco wedding.

Promise to add more detail soon.

Charlene & her father at the religious ceremony.

Mr Armani & his niece Roberta at the religious ceremony
Roberta looks after his VIP clients - she has an LA base - when he came to Australia a few years ago for the opening of the new Sydney boutique, she was with him - photos of this shin dig in a later post.





Roberta at the evening reception (dying to see her shoes, due to interesting choice of clutch colour)




Charlene's family, L to R, Gareth, Lynette & Sean



Gareth & Sean at evening reception (Sean's girlfriend not outitted by GA - I love her frock but her hair (growing out bangs?) is questionable...




Princess Mathilde of Belgium at the religious ceremony
(she also wore GA Prive in teal for the Kate/William wedding - see my previous blog)



Pretty sure this is Queen Paola of Belgium at the reception
