Personal Stylist Lisa Gillbe
Top charting podcast The Style Stories Podcast is back to solve all your style and wardrobe dilemmas. Highly experienced London based personal stylist Lisa Gillbe brings wardrobe tips and tricks that make sure you get a capsule wardrobe that really works for you. This advice will get you thinking differently about your style and image so you can feel inspired, confident and excited about your wardrobe.
How your clothes can boost your confidence or hold you back
This episode goes deep into style confidence and finding your sense of self and style confidence.
Becoming comfortable in your own skin is a lifelong journey and it's harder for some people than others.
The best thing you'll ever wear is confidence but what has that got to do with clothes? EVERYTHING. There are so many hidden emotional messages when it comes to your clothes.
Are you holding back with your style because on some level you don't feel you deserve to look good?
You don't want to be a show-off but this is tethered to worrying too much about what others think of us.
Be who you truly are and not a version other people think you 'should' be.
This conversation runs beyond my area of expertise in fashion so I invited the confidence and mindset coach Kate Stirling on to The Style Stories podcast to discuss the link between confidence, clothes, truly being who we are - unapologetically and allowing ourselves to look good!
A fascinating chat that really explains clothes are so much more than just something you wear.
We even touched on First Lady Style - how Hilary Clinton was the first USA First Lady to embrace looking good and how she got shot down for it.
Lots packed into today's episode - enjoy!

Forget the style rules and do this instead
This week I was joined by Katie Miner, a personal stylist from Colorado. We discussed how style rules can be more confusing and restrictive than actually help you. So what can you do instead? When it comes to personal style, it's far better to trust your instincts and work out your style vibe. We are bombarded with choice and it can be so overwhelming so it's no surprise that people end up only wearing a small percentage of their wardrobe.
The key to having a great wardrobe is to have the right mix pieces in it not lots of volume and the key to great style is knowing your style vibe and what you truly like, sticking to that and ignoring the trends.
I hope you enjoy today's chat. Please remember to hit the follow button and leave me a review.

What jeans are you wearing, style confidence and why we love influencers with Jo & Rachel
There's no denying we are in the influencer era. Despite the fact some people are saying it's over...! To be able to see someone who is your size and shape wearing an outfit rather than just a skinny size 8, 5ft 8" model is so much more enticing and it's a very powerful marketing tool for brands.
I was joined today by Jo, the founder of clothing company The Cotswold Shed and Rachel from @rachellovesstyle
Both ladies share their style stories and evolution over the years. We all agreed we have become more confident as we've got older but some people hold back as they get older and worry too much about what others think. Hopefully we can help people to see there is a lot of joy to be found in wearing a great outfit!

How to get a stylish work wardrobe with Lisa Marinelli
Corporate Lawyer, Board Advisor, Instagram star and mum of Two Lisa Marinelli joined me on the podcast this week to discuss how you can dress fashionably at work and still be taken seriously. You do not have to dress in dull corporate clothes anymore - in fact, showing some flair and personality in the workplace helps you stand out in a competitive world. We all thrive when are more authentically ourselves and dressing with confidence helps you to appear confident to others instantly.
Does your work wardrobe need a shake up?
“When I first started out as a lawyer, I bought a suit because I thought that’s what I needed to wear to feel like I belonged in a corporate setting. But soon enough, you realize that a black suit is not really an expression of anything. I started playing with the idea of ‘power dressing’ by finding the colours that made me feel the most confident" -Lisa Marinelli

Quite simply you don’t, and life can be so much more joyful for it.

Keira shares what it means to be a style chameleon and why it brings her so much joy. She also talks about her accessories brand Scott-Samuel, including the stunning bags and capes.
Clothes have the power to make you feel great, and the joy of experimenting with different outfits can give you confidence in expressing oneself through fashion.

Do you love the French look?
Timeless and effortless. But how do you actually achieve it?
In this episode I am joined by Founder of Aurélie, Lucy Robinson. She has created a wonderful brand with a personal touch. Lucy writes handwritten notes with every order, to make each and every purchase feel special.

One of the most important messages from this episode is to learn more about yourself and make sure that your wardrobe reflects that at all stages of life.

How to get out of a style rut with Amy Simpson and Lisa Farley
Do you ever feel stuck in a rut with your clothes?
You don’t know what to choose, or what goes with what. You feel like it’s just all too overwhelming. Well, you’re not alone.
In this episode I am joined by the fabulous Amy Simpson and Lisa Farley, creators of NUDI SPRAY™. They share their struggles when choosing outfits to wear, either from their wardrobe or when out shopping. Something I’m sure we’ve all been through. We chat about how to overcome these challenges by taking away the confusion and what items can make an outfit.
Amy and Lisa also tell all about their amazing product NUDI SPRAY™, something that will revolutionise the lives of so many women out there going through perimenopause and menopause.
They had a moment of inspiration during 2022 whilst comparing sticky patch stories following their summer holidays. Neither friend had discovered a reliable, effective or easy means of removing HRT patch glue, leaving them feeling self-conscious about living very publicly with unsightly marks on their skin.
This led them on a quest to find a solution, and after months of research and development, they had created NUDI SPRAY™.

Storytelling with your clothes, where to shop and the joys of Vinted
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...!

How to thrive in a Corporate job in 2024
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.

How to find the right colours for you and why it matters
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.

- Why you don't need to look like everyone else at work anymore
- The modern workwear minefield
- Plus we asked, can you be taken seriously at work if you wear stylish clothes (spoiler alert - YES of course you can)

How to build your perfect capsule wardrobe
Following on from the last two episodes with fellow London Stylist Lizzie Edwards, I am digging deeper into how to create a perfect capsule wardrobe.
This is going to look different for everyone. We are all so different! One person loves wearing dresses and florals, another is a minimalist. It's all about your taste and your vibe so how does this translate into your actual wardrobe?
In this episode I cover 4 main things you can do to really nail this down. The benefits that follow after are amazing! Once you know what really works you can ignore what doesn't, shop more efficiently and get so much more from your wardrobe. Dressing like your authentic self massively boosts confidence too and that has positive effects throughout life.
If you feel stuck in a style rut then it's probably time for a change. The start of a new year is a perfect time to reassess your style and I've got the tools to help you do that.

What to wear this Christmas - Outfit Ideas & trends 🎄
Have you planned what you are wearing this holiday season? It's December 1st today and that means it is acceptable to wear sequins all day, every day! If you want to of course, there are plenty of people who do not and prefer a low-key more casual vibe this time of year. In this episode I have lots of ideas for festive party dressing from casual and low-key to FULL-ON 'extra' party dressing. I also created a blog to go with this episode so you've got a visual guide and can shop entire outfits with ease. Check out the blog here

It really helps to know this information. The right colours can light you up and the wrong colours can drain you. Also, knowing the right colours for you will narrow down choice in the shops and save time and money!
It's true that 'fit is king' - do you know your body shape and proportions? Once you do you can dress to flatter yours more and increase confidence whilst reducing choice in the shops! Sounds good? Tune in for this latest episode and let's get your wardrobe into shape. 💪

How to shift your mindset and get great style! With Teresa Klasener
This week I'm excited to have The Style Stories regular - Teresa Klasener joining me on the podcast to talk all things mindset.
What the hell has mindset got to do with style and fashion? EVERYTHING. Because your mindset plays a massive part in ruling your life. It can be a powerful tool or it can hold you back and it's well worth having a listen to find out how.
One of the main reasons people get stuck in a frustrating mindset is because they have fixed ideas about what they like or what they feel they 'should' wear. This only holds back your style and keeps you stuck.
You could be having so much fun with your style but are you feeling stuck with it? Make sure you have a listen, there is so much to learn in this episode.

How to declutter your wardrobe and shop with intent
'Every good wardrobe starts with a declutter' is one of my most said sayings because I'm determined to hammer this point home! I have been a personal stylist for 15 years and I have seen inside literally hundreds of wardrobes. I can confirm that it is very rare to find a perfectly organised wardrobe - I usually come across wardrobes stuffed full of clothes ut not even the right clothes. No wonder so many people struggle to find good outfits and end up buying random stuff so often.
In this episode, I take you through the steps to effectively declutter your wardrobe. Taking the time to do this will have instantly positive results on your style, you will feel lighter and more in control of your wardrobe. You will have less clothes but more outfits and be able to shop in a much more laser-focused and efficient way.
This episode is the first step on your journey to great style. It all starts here, it always starts with a thorough declutter.

Big Dress Energy - How Fashion Psychology Can Transform Your Wardrobe and Your Confidence
In this week's episode I am joined by the best-selling author of the book - Big Dress Energy, consultant, TV commentator, podcast host and fashion psychologist Shakaila Forbes-Bell to find out what BDE is and how you can use it to be the absolute best-dressed version of yourself. Buckle-up because you are going to learn so many gems in this episode you won't look at your style and wardrobe in the same way again! This is powerful stuff from Shakaila who has recently appeared on Lorraine and This Morning to discuss this hot topic - the psychology behind clothes. It is fascinating stuff that will transform how you get dressed! I have to say, this particular episode of The Style Stories Podcast is one of the most eye-opening and transformative episodes I have ever recorded and I am SO excited to share it with you. You need to hear this if you are stuck in a style rut, or unsure about what your style is, or have been struggling to shop for clothes. It's for you if you have a wardrobe full of clothes BUT still feel like you have no good outfits! Hell, everyone needs this deep dive into WHY we get dressed the way we do. Uncovering your personal style is one of the most transformative things you can do for yourself - what you wear and your style is part of your identity after all so it's pretty important in the great scheme of things. You can use clothes to seduce and be alluring, to get jobs, to influence others, to feel good about yourself and to hide away too. Above all, fashion is FUN and should bring you joy. I really hope you enjoy listening to the brilliant Shakaila Forbes-Bell as much as I enjoyed interviewing her.

The Monthly Mash-Up: What’s in the shops, brands we love and the fake-death of the floral dress
This week I am joined by fellow stylists Sarah Gilfilan from Sartoria Lab and Sally Smy from Queen Bee Styling to discuss Spring wardrobe must-haves, our favourite brands, favourite trends and the faux death of the floral dress! What does the latter mean I hear you ask!? Well, tune in to hear more but in short, John Lewis announced that no-one is going to be wearing floral maxi's anymore and this is a dead trend.
We discuss how the dress is probably one of the most useful pieces you can have in the wardrobe so this sweeping statement must be nonsense. The best way to dress? In a style that suits your personality and lifestyle - forget the trends, find what you love and stick with that.❤️
Brands we talked about: Sideline, Reiss, New Day Originals, Rixo, Aspiga, Anine Bing, Nobody's Child, NN07, Norse Projects, John Lewis.

Style, identity and where to shop for ’plus size’ clothes
This week I am joined by the professional copywriter and fashion lover Georgina Nestor. Georgina is wildly successful in her field and shares the same values as I do around the importance of showing up authentically, not caring what others think and saying it how it is.
Georgina loves fashion and make up and her image is a really important part of who she is. She believes in using clothes and make up to improve your mood and be successful in life.
We discussed how lots of plus size woman find it really difficult to shop on the high street and how by now it should be a lot easier. Georgina shares where she shops, great jeans and how there is still a long way to go for representation in the shops. She still finds it easier to shop online and usually finds that bigger clothes in the shops are frumpy and tucked away in the corner of a store. Things still need to change.
I hope you enjoy this episode.

Confusing work dress codes and trusting your gut with your style
This week a big City law firm sent an email round to staff saying 'dress like you are going to Annabel's (the exclusive private members club) - if that's not confusing as a work dress code I don't know what is. The subtext is ditch your suits unless you have an important meeting but what do you wear the rest of the time?
We discuss this and lots more in this week's chatty episode.
The common thread that runs through all of these podcasts is how important it is to wear what you love and understand what that is. Until you spend a bit of time working out the styles of clothes that really suit you and make you feel 'right' it is easy to get distracted and make mistakes. Instead of focusing on trends, concentrate instead on building a wardrobe that has longevity with key pieces that really suit you and make you happy. If you suit skinny jeans and all the fashion editors are saying they are 'out' and you don't suit wide leg jeans which are 'in' isn't it better to wear the shape that suits you?
Once you find your personal style it becomes easier to shop and pull together a wardrobe you love. Listening to your gut and working out what works is time well spent.
This is the main topic of discussion with today's guest Finula Crowe of dress brand New Day Originals. Fin created the brand in lockdown in 2020 when she had to shut down her event dress boutique. She really hasn't looked back since and now creates beautiful, sustainable and wearable dresses that elevate any wardrobe.✨

Fashion, hormones and jumpsuits - how to dress to feel good
This week on the podcast I am joined by Hannah Pearn, an expert in acupuncture for fertility.
Hannah LOVES fashion and she's been on the podcast before and spoke with such passion about both topics, fertility and fashion, I invited her on again. Hannah helps many women struggling to conceive with her specific acupuncture and other therapies at her London clinic and with online courses (her website is below if this affects you). As a person, Hannah believes in the power of fashion, she always dresses up for her clinic days and she has a signature style. She has an impressive haul of jumpsuits in particular which really work for her life and style. You know the saying, if it 'aint broke, don't fix it. How lovely to simplify your fashion choices in a busy world full of so many choices! She also chats about how you shouldn't shop with PMT and how your cycle affects how you feel like getting dressed. Fascinating stuff! Like I always say on this podcast, find your personal style and everything falls into place.

Whilst face shape is a consideration, personal style is more important because you've got to feel like yourself! Glasses can really make an outfit, they can be a statement, or they can drag down an outfit too if you play it too safe. The thing is, there's no need to play it safe these days as there is so much choice. Rather than go to Specsavers (no offense Specsavers) Zoe talks about all the wonderful independent brands and shops that should not be overlooked. There really is something out there for everyone. If you prefer a more classic look she has the brands for you, if you'd rather make a bold statement then there are some excellent brands out there that can really elevate your look in an instant. If you've got to wear glasses, why not have some fun doing it🤷♀️ If you'd like some professional advice directly with Zoe you can book a Zoom consultation with her or she can even accompany you to choose your glasses.
