NOREEN ELIZABETH STYLING: Styling Michelle

These images are from a shoot I styled back in December. My client was Michelle Blow, a fabulous lady who is one of the North East’s foremost marketing and events experts. Currently working as Marketing and Events Director for Hilary Florek PR, Michelle has organised and coordinated events around the globe, including presidential dinners and royal visits. Wow!

Our focus for the shoot was to assist Michelle in looking her professional best. My role was to source outfits and accessories to compliment Michelle's typical work wardrobe and her personal style.

Before sourcing the outfits I wanted to find out a little bit about Michelle's personal style and her interests in fashion.

"I'm a huge fan of timeless and versatile items of clothing that will take me from day to night, season to season. I believe in investing in my wardrobe and not getting caught up buying into the lastest fads, as trends fade but a timeless look never goes out of fashion."

"I tend to stick to the same colours and silhouettes that I know suit me, I think that's a really important part of my outfits. Oh, and I'm a BIG Louboutin fan!"

Sticking to Michelle’s own style, I chose feminine dresses ideal for the successful, career woman. I focused mostly on finding the right colours and chose some of last season’s jewel tones as well as a few bolder hues to compliment her natural colouring. Doesn’t the garnet look stunning on her?

For the cut, the dresses all cinched at the waist where Michelle is most petite and hugged at the hips to show off Michelle's perfect curves. With the colours and cut 'just right', I built up the outfits using statement pieces of jewellery.
