Styling Matters

I'm back with the fabulous Zanne Lee for 3-2-1 LIVE on Instagram, talking Spring Fashion, Beauty and Lifestyle.

We are kicking off with a Spring trend we've indulged in and why we believe it will have longevity in our wardrobes. Forgotten gems we've found in our Spring wardrobe changeover - accessories always seems to get forgotten!

On beauty we chat the new launch of No.7 Defence SPF50 and the benefits of wearing sunscreen every single day.

From Couch to 5K, to sensitivity food journal to Victoria Beckham's 50th Party and how we plan to celebrate our own, we've got all the chat!

Enjoy, love Lizzi & Zanne, next edition will be in May 2024.

Welcome back to another episode of STYLING MATTERS, in this show I am answering your style questions!

Where to shop in London, the best areas for different shopping - one of my favourite topics, I feel London is the best place to shop, but depending if I am with people or all on my own, I shop different districts for different reasons... intrigued well listen on!

Co'ord set styling - I've been asked by a few of how to style these sets differently - so I chat through different ways to way them together and to wear these co'ord sets separately - they are so verstaile!

Links to the sets I'm talking about (Aff links)

As we head into 2024 it's time to reflect back on 2023 and see what we want to do for the year ahead. With New Year, New Goals mentality we can have big ideas in our heads, we can plan, we can buy but when we come to head out the door in a new look, we can be frozen by imposter syndrome.

The 'why not me' needs to kick in - so I am replaying two episodes made earlier this year as a reminder for those that have listened before or if you have just found me... why it's a double dose special of Styling Matters! Enjoy, Lizzi x

It's party season and whilst we all love sequins and sparkle it can come with inner anxiety for the 'what to wear' during the festive season.

Listen on for my tips on how to prepare, plan and be the best version of YOU for every event, whether that dancing, dining or hosting at home.

Thanks for joining me on Styling Matters, it's a full packed episode of fashion and styling!

This week I met Jules Robinson, star of Australia's season 6, Married at first sight, who has launched her shapewear brand, FIGUR into the UK market. I've done a full day testing the shorts in London, on the tube, eating lunch and dinner - attending two events and I can honestly say, I loved them! Hear what Jules has to tell you first hand, she is my first official interview with my new mini microphone, out on the open road! What a debut!!

I also attended Phase Eight's X Mothershoppers London Fashion Week City Wide Celebrations - Gemma and Bertie shared their styling tips and Phase Eight star style items over a glass of prosecco and a lot of style chat!

And then there is my Chanel story, in light of the Chanel Manifesto Exhibition that's on at the V&A Museum in London until 25th February 2024, I share a few insights without giving too much away on my preview visit yesterday before the launch to the public on the 16th Sept. It's breathtaking and there is even a Chanel 'sweetie' store at the end, listen on to understand what that fully means!

Here's all the links I promised:

Thanks for listening to STYLING MATTERS, this week I've got plenty of fashion fix features for you!

3-2-1 is a new monthly Instagram Live with my co-host Zanne Lee. We'll be chatting every month on 3 style topics, 2 beauty finds or tips plus 1 lifestyle which can be an event, a restaurant, a destination we may be heading to or just come from - what we will be doing is keeping it relevant for the month we are in and the month ahead!

Autumn styling blogposts you may be interested in to dive more into Autumn Styling, from www.lovedbylizzi.com

I really enjoyed pulling this podcast together, I love the planning stage of a new season, you can't start early enough in my view!

Get your pinterest boards ready and start pinning inspirational looks from the catwalk for AW23.

In this episode I cover off the colour trends to consider for Autumn 2023 and then I move the chat on to three trends I think you can easily dive into. Not forgetting that you don't just have to buy! I finish the podcast with key items you may already own, so be as sustainable as you can with your new season choices.

I can't quite believe we are talking Autumn, but I am so excited for the new season ahead!

This week I went live with Mandy Noss, a UK Cabi stylist to chat through AW23 Cabi Collection. I am a huge fan of the brand as it's all inclusive from petite to tall styling and then across the dress size spectrum too.

Mandy and I chat through the latest unique prints available, along with Autumns trends and also some of our favourite pieces from the new collection.

Thanks for joining me on my latest STYLING MATTERS podcast, in this episode I will be talking about the wardrobe (or closet) mistakes we can all make! There are easy fixes for them all, with a little time and self-management of what we want to wear daily.

Don't forget, looking after what we want to wear and how we wear it is a daily activity, staying on top of the maintenance is essential; over time you will spend less time, money and make less mistakes - which ultimately gets you to a place where you are wearing what you love, and if you get there then you will be showing off to those around you that you are presenting yourself as the women you wish to be seen as.

The chat moves on to me answering two summer style questions that have come in from the Loved By Lizzi community and as always, the podcast ends with an affirmation for the week ahead.

The blogpost I mentioned is linked below:

Thanks for tuning in to STYLING MATTERS, this week I'm talking Holiday style and my tips on travel style and packing. With two mediterranean holidays in the last couple of months, the heat is high abroad!

What I took to wear versus what I actually wore really came down to the local weather, humidity and what we decided to do each evening - listen on for how I had to adapt.

Within the podcast I mention a couple of holiday blog posts and outfits, you can find the details here:

Thanks for joining me on this week's episode of Styling Matters, in this episode I will be chatting on:

Here are all the links I mention in the show, as promised:

Thanks for joining me on this week's episode - I am delighted to announce that Styling Matters Podcast (still a baby trying to grow) has reached 1,000 plays - this was my first goal I set myself when I launched and you have been a part of that, so THANK YOU!

On today's episode I chat through a bad Zara purchase I made a few years back, the issues I had styling it and the relief I felt when I finally got rid of it. Bad purchases are not great to hold on to, they mess around with the positive energy that you are trying to achieve with your curated stylish wardrobe / closet.

The chat moves on to how to elevate your own personal style at work - we don't all want to look the same, and an injection of our own personality should always be there, every, single, day! This episode was inspired by a blog post I wrote in 2018 - some of my views have change, but the main points are still so valid!

I am a huge fan of wearing all black in summer, nothing oozes more sophisticated summer style than an all black look. Listen on to hear my thoughts on fabric, styling and outfit choices to keep you looking & feeling cool this summer.

Do you love a vintage find? Well let me introduce you to Alice, founder of Alice Skewis Jewellery. She sells vintage jewellery pieces online and most pieces (excluding Designer finds) are £100 or under.

Listen on to our Instagram LIVE where we chat through Alice's early years of exploring her style, what's her typical style now and how she goes about finding these unique treasures of fabulous jewellery! Don't forget the live, is live! So the audio can vary at times.

Thanks for tuning in to this week's STYLING MATTERS podcast. In this episode I answer your summer style questions, I also share a few holiday items I have purchased and I announce an Instagram LIVE I have coming up! Don't forget to listen on to the end, where I give you a positive affirmation for the week ahead.

Enjoy, love Lizzi x

I'm delighted to be joined this week by Emma Cowlam, one half of two fabulous ladies from Just Add Style - a British brand who have a passion for unique prints, in many colours and definitely with a love of animal print. Their luxury skinny silk scarves which are reversible are a must for the everyday modern woman.

Emma takes us through their journey of how they got started, how they set about illustrating and designing these unique and fabulous items and how they have sourced silk directly to help with the sustainability element of producing.

It was a full on chatty session, so however you are listening to this episode, we hope you enjoy all the style chat!

Red lipstick has been a beauty staple for decades, and for a good reason too. Statistics show that wearing this colour can make a woman feel so much better!

A red lipstick is classic and a timeless colour that can elevate any look, from casual to an event look. But, more than that, red lipstick has the power to boost your confidence and make you feel fabulous. It's a bold and vibrant colour that can make a statement and command attention. It's also associated with power, confidence and femininity. Wearing a red lipstick can make you feel empowered and give you the confidence to take on the day.

I chat through how to pick the right shade, I take you through how I prepare my lips before applying such a bold and vibrant colour so that you get that flawless, defined finish - with a touch of sparkle, listen on to find out how!

This week I have a collective mix of style topics - I believe you'll love them all!

I chat through my most worn item I wear, a great shoes and bag online shop that I frequently purchase from and I also share some of what happened at The Big Applause event I was a panelist on for Cabi UK. I was joined by Dr Katie Barber who has a Menopause clinic in Oxford and Surrey's Cabi Stylist who is new to the UK team, Traci Bunch - we talked about our journeys, how we got started and also how we cope with failing.

Thanks for joining this week's episode of STYLING MATTERS. I am really starting to feel the need to plan for Summer. After visiting Westfield London last weekend, there is summer fashion and style is all in store at the moment and there are a few key items you will need for your holiday that won't be in store for long!

I also chat through a couple of bad online shopping experiences I've gone through and how I have handled them, and then a first for the podcast - I chat through LIVE my picks from the 'New In' section on ZARA. Highstreet hits have always been popular on the blog and on social media, so I am trying it in this format - let me know if you love them and I can easily do more!

Don't forget to listen on to the end of the affirmation of the week! Love Lizzi x

Thanks for joining me for another episode of STYLING MATTERS; this week I am sharing stories on one of the oldest items in my wardrobe, there's my live interview with Mandy Noss one of the pioneer UK stylists for Cabi Clothing, a USA brand that offers so much for the everyday women - listen on to find out how you can meet me in person at their Big Applause event in Oxford later this month - it's FREE but you do need to register. As soon as you can, I will add a link below!

As always, I conclude with my affirmation of the week!

Increase your confidence with style for ageless modern styling; it’s not always easy to do, but my tips and tricks will help.

You’ve bought a whole new outfit, in fact everything is new, even down to your lippy and your knickers and now you’ve got to head out the door; yet instead of feeling on top of the world, you are now dreading showing off your newly creative outfit, just in case someone looks at you.

Recognise this feeling?

Would it surprise you to hear that I frequently have to overcome this issue myself? Not just once and a while may I add, but typically 2-3 times a month!

Listen on for all my advice.

This podcast was inspired by a blogpost that I had previously written, here's the full article:

I take you through my own journey of making changes to my habits as part of my focus on Sustainable Fashion. Caring for your clothes is just as important as making the right purchasing decisions; with a few easy and simple changes it's amazing what you can do and the feel good factor that comes with it!

Listen on for my tips and tricks and as always I end with an affirmation for the week ahead.

Whether you’ve been gifted one or not – Get yourself a personal styling session in 2023. We all need professional advice on styling from time-to-time.

Every now and then it’s good to get some professional advice on your styling – a personal 1-2-1 session can really boost your confidence. Even as a qualified stylist myself, I love others having a go at styling me.

It can give you a whole new perspective on clothes or accessories that you may never have considered before. Now whilst it’s fun to have these sessions with friends or family (I get that you’ll think it’s great quality time together), however they may steal precious professional styling time (paid or unpaid) which will deflect from the attention you should be having on YOU!

I hope you enjoy listening for all my tips, there is also a blogpost that details the points I made, you can find that here:

On this week's episode I talk through the three style changes I have made as part of transitional style from winter to spring, which includes the WHYS behind some of my recent purchases.

The chat moves on to white accessories, they are truly having a moment as well as my views on holiday shopping in the month of March.

I attended the Phase Eight SS23 preview collection of what will land for summer towards the end of April, I love that they offer sizing for ladies up to size 26 on many of their items, this is truly needed for our sisters! 

Listen on for more, and the two blogposts I mention in the chat are here:
