Never too old to look great

Proving that the shopping rules apply at any age we took a group of ‘mature’ ladies shopping and showed them how to look bang up to date. Our over 75s had by their own admission got stuck in their ways and thought that they had outgrown fashion, believing the latest trends were for the very young or very thin.

Take a look below to see our Makeover results. Truly stunning, the difference the right colour and a flattering style-not to mention a new hairdo can achieve!

Fundraising for McMillan Nurses

A Ladies Pamper evening for the Kenilworth Lions raised over £700 for McMillan Nurses. A full house turned out for an evening of Colour & Style with Julie entertaining the audience with a presentation on the Shopping Rules. Thank you to all those who ran a stall and to Jean for organising.

Online Shopping

In Summer 2008 we will be launching a range of clothes for Look Good Club members and associates. You will be able to search for clothes not only by size and price, but by colour, style and shape too. In other words the clothes will match the Shopping Rules!

Please watch this space or contact us for more details.

New Venture

This Autumn an ex student of mine Jane Barrett and her friend Kim have started a 'Dress Agency'. Here's what they wrote to me about their news:

'My friend Kim and I started running the Dress Agency from our local community centre in Exhall in October. We had spoken about this for some time but weren't quite brave enough to take on a shop, and all that it entails, straight away, so we thought we would "give it a try" at the centre on a Sunday.

I think I was motivated by attending one of Julie's Colour, Style and Confidence Courses where I was amazed to discover the difference the right Colour and Style can make, even the wrong neckline or length can totally ruin your look.  It made me look at clothes in a completely different way and I think it was the push that Kim and I needed to start our agency.

The way it works is that we sell designer and top high street name clothes for people, that are unworn or hardly worn, and take a commission for the sale.

We have been amazed at the response and are now running it at 2 other venues in Nuneaton.  We stock everything from shoes, handbags and accessories to stunning evening dresses and wedding suits.  In fact we have such a fabulous collection of hats that we are now thinking of having a wedding section just on it's own.

Please contact us for further details either by email  jbarrett@bulldoghome.com or telephone Kim on 02476 311050 or Jane on 02476 318639’.

Well done Jane and Kim. The Look Good Club wishes you every success.

Makeover Magic: Cruising to a Confident New You

A dream come true for me, I get to travel the world giving the Look Good Club: 'Cruising to a Confident New You' on board Cruise Ships. In 6 hour long sessions I entertain the passengers with my step by step guide to the Shopping Rules- and do a surprise makeover to one lucky passenger.

The Programme covers:

• how to put together a stylish wardrobe whatever your budget;
• how to choose your most flattering colours and styles;
• how to select accessories to achieve a take you anywhere wardrobe;
• help you achieve a new look by taking you shopping on board (subject to on-board availability).

Our lucky passenger on this trip was Vanda.
