What an excellent, informative and interesting styling video. I would highly recommend this. Love all the facts and tips and so useful to have all the prices on display. The sizing tips are particularly useful. I love this!
Since I only found you recently am working my way through your fabulous informative videos. This is so good for me as I pay attention to my wardrobe but not really my coats as I just go for practicality above all else with them. It’s either a waterproof or extreme cold weather (dog walking) or something that I make do with going from A to B with my curated outfit underneath 😂😂 Love your great tips, please keep them coming!!
Coats are key! I’m glad you’re finding the videos useful. I filmed a high street haul of some nice bits I found this week so that will be going up in a couple of days then it’s the big Christmas party outfit special so hopefully those should keep you entertained for awhile! X
Hi Melissa. I’ve just found your videos and have subscribed as you have really sensible informative fashion and styling ideas. I’ve been binge-watching a few today. I’m a 70 yo Aussie, but still like to look modern and relevant. I have too many clothes, but after watching your capsule wardrobe video, I think I’m going to have to do a big wardrobe cull. I always look for what fabric an item is made from, and steer clear of high polyester fabrics as I find they pill too much. Can you perhaps do a video on what are the best fabric / textile combinations to look for. ? Thanks so much for your videos.
Hello Glenda! Thank you so much for watching, it’s nice to hear that you’re enjoying them. I have a new video that should go live in the next 3-4 days on winter basic essentials but I’m guessing you’re in summer down under, so not so relevant for right now I’m afraid! I’ve put your request for a fabric video onto the request list which I’m slowly making my way through. I have to say that I’m no expert but I know someone who is so maybe they can make a guest appearance!!! 😘
I'm lusting your denim shirt... such happy memories of the 90s. I appreciate your tips. So many items are shapeless now to 'fit' everyone but in fact fit no-one. I'm tall and androgynous so prefer some tailoring. Any recommendations?
Hello Pri. That video is quite old now so the links wouldn’t be relevant I’m afraid but if you describe which of the coats you like (or the timing it appears on the video) then I can see if I can find you something similar. There’s quite a few coats in all of my more recent videos too.
Most of the coats you showed I think you had them over a white tee. When one wears other pieces that gets more difficult, to combine the colours and the look. The type of coat I’m struggling with is over a long full dress. A leather jacket works well but in the Winter I needed more warmth. Any ideas would be gratefully received. I was amazed at the prices of these coats and the length on you at 5.3 was wonderful. It’s hard to find a very long one for me at 5.7. You have made me think I need to visit Zara😊and also Next. I stopped shopping there when they came out of my town. I think I need to look again.
Hi Ruth. You were watching a video from over 14 months ago so if you watch one of my more recent videos there’s cost suggestions over many dresses in those. I’ve also do a body shape master class video with a lady who was 5ft 8 )think it was series 4 or 5). If you click on my logo then the video tab you will see all of the videos in date order. I hope that helps x
Are shawls any good for styling ? I remember a while back they were, could u do a video on scarves with different fabrics prints and /or shawls in a modern take
I’m binge watching your videos! I’m so glad I found you! You’re just great! Do you have plans to do a summer capsule wardrobe video? And also, do you have more than one capsule wardrobe per season in different colors?
Yes!! As soon as the summer clothes are in the shops i'll be doing a summer version. My capsule wardrobe stays the same across seasons just the fabrics get heavier (eg a wool coat as oppose to a lighter cotton coat). The main base colours stay the same but the accent colour (which covers the more frivolous fashion led pieces) might change from bright pink in the summer to burgundy in the winter (as an example). I've recently done a spring capsule wardrobe video if that helps? x
I have recently found your website and I absolutely love your styling l am going through my wardrobe and with your help for my body shape sorting out what works best for me and what doesn’t so thank you
Hi, Melissa. I love watching your videos they are so helpful. Please could you tell me what size you went for with the Amazon leather jacket please? Thank you 😊
Hello Kathleen, welcome! There seems to be a few people from Canada on the channel. Do you have access to all the main high street brands that I make my suggestions from (Zara, H&M, next, Mango, & other Stories etc.)? Are there any other popular brands you’d like to see suggestions from? If you’d like to let me know I can see if they’re easily accessible in the UK. Thanks for watching x
How do you layer a coat if it’s in your normal size. A jacket under it won’t fit. I tried to wear a heavy sweater under my coat today and I couldn’t even get it on. I can’t imagine trying to squeeze a second jacket under it. Should I be sizing up? Thank you
Yes if you’re a person who requires lots of layers. When I’ve got my good quality wool coat on I don’t need layers as it’s super warm so I didn’t size up in that but with my cheaper coats I didn’t size up, rather I chose coats that are oversized anyway in their styles. Hope that helps x
It’s most of us Beverly! I think it’s because we all look better in smarter clothes, heels, more structure etc., but obviously most of us are slobbing around in loungewear!!
Thank you Jacqui. You’re watching quite an old video there and I’ve now got a new microphone so hopefully the more recent videos will be clearer. 🤞 Thanks for watching x
Hi there. Sorry for the delay! The leather is still available from ebay (brand new) for the bargain price of £62.99! I had it in a size 10. Here's the link for you. Thanks for watching! I'll be uploading a summer dress haul by the end of the week if thats anything of interest to you... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183331546388
Every single item is linked for you for both the UK and US. If you go to the description box and press either the 3 small dots or the 'read more or see more' (it differs depending on the platform you're watching it on) then you'll see the link to click on. This will take you to a picture board of all the items shown.
By the way, I'm 45!!!
Typo there... clearly you meant to say 35!

A little late to find you, but such a good video, very thorough! Love that you say "real women"!
This is a year ago and I would love to see an updated video on this and the "dog walking" type of jacket / Coats please. ♥️🇦🇺
We’re just coming into summer so coats aren’t in our shops now but I will re-visit this later on in the year for you x

Hello Liz. Try Massimo Dutti or Me & Em (good for tailored yet still casual pieces). Next also do an extra tall range. Hope that helps.
Great content and super helpful comments
Thank you Tabitha!
I love the suggestions thank you for sharing. I wish you had links to the coat you mentioned.

@@mmpersonalstyling Thank you so much! This is so helpful!
I think black looks best on people with black or dark hair, and perhaps silver hair.
Found ur channel lately ...grt content but jzt a suggestion to mention stuff in the description that would b easier..grt videos thou
Hi, I love the Reiss navy coat. Do you tend to size up or down for Reiss? Many thanks
They’re pretty true to size but that’s an old video so I doubt they’ll have the same one now but you never know!
I have recently found your website and I absolutely love your styling l am going through my wardrobe and with your help for my body shape sorting out what works best for me and what doesn’t so thank you
Wonderful, good luck with it x
Hi, Melissa. I love watching your videos they are so helpful. Please could you tell me what size you went for with the Amazon leather jacket please? Thank you 😊
Uk size 10. It’s great!
Thank you 😊
Do you think black coats are more flattering on dark hair women or do you still feel it’s too harsh ?
Too harsh, we never buy black coats for any of our clients.
I love your shirt. What brand is it? Thank you for this video.
Thank you! The denim shirt is the ‘chest pocket denim shirt’ from Mango, £35.99. They come up a little small so I’d go up a size. Thanks for watching!
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you. Love the shirt!

Had to smile when you talked about women dressing for their ‘fantasy lives’…..not their real lives. Yup, that’s me! Or, was….🧥😊💕
