Marjorie Paul - ArticlesFrench by birth and education, I spent my childhood abroad before landing in london 22 years ago. I trained and worked in the fields of Fine Art, Fashion and Interior design, before becoming an image consultant.
The aim of my job is to make people feel more confident about themselves and happy with the way they look. I also have a keen interest in humanitarian affairs, home improvement, the Arts, and a real pleasure for writing. 40 And Looking Good!Turning 40 does not mean suddenly becoming old fashioned and frumpy. On the contrary…nowadays the 40’s are the old 30’s! How to Make the Most of the Sales When Shopping for ClothesThe sales are everywhere, generous and desperate! They started well before Christmas and are now well and truly displaying signs of despair. I believe we will all shortly get paid to take stock away from retailers’ hands… Anyway, we should all make the most of it as I do not think that next year’s bargains will be as good: surviving shops will certainly not keep as much stock and will be trying to get full prices for their goods. Sexy Little Black DressNo better time to look sexy than when wearing a clever little black number! No need to think you have to bare it all or reveal too much… You can find the right dress, which will see you through all sorts of parties… But beware, and take it from a French woman: sexy does not mean vulgar! Nothing worse than vulgarity! Adoption...a Long JourneyThe stars do not know what do to attract attention…they are now parading in the People magazines armed with their new fashion accessory, a baby adopted from overseas. Their latest mascot comes from Asia or Africa and appears from nowhere one day, as if plucked from a supermarket shelf… From Hollywood to London via Paris, our idols are going one step further and proudly showing off by flaunting their « humanitarian » action on the front page of the gossip magazines found in hairdressers’ salons. How to Buy Her the Perfect Gift for ChristmasChristmas is suddenly around the corner and, despite the credit blues, most of us are going to try to provide our loved ones with the perfect gift, whilst at the same time respecting an individual budget. Women always find it easier to buy their man a present than the other way around, although actually the choice of presents for us ladies is endless. Let me give the gentleman, a few ideas, whilst respecting the style personality of the special woman in his life! The End of the Property BoomThe financial world seems to have become apocalyptic. In the last few weeks, the world of money has suffered from cardiac failure. Banks are failing us, some have already rejoined Neptune in the abyss and others are in the firing line. Last month, financial systems, on the edge of a precipice, have been saved by the central banks. Was this an emergency measure or an action dictated by despair? Are we living a remake of the Great Depression? Where has the easy money gone? Jeans and YouI am a great fan of jeans…they are so versatile, and can be dressed up or down according to the occasion or one’s personality. I find that they are the number one item of clothing to cater for the British weather, so changeable. You can practically wear them for any occasion, apart, of course, in a formal work environment or a smart evening event. Nowadays, they come in all styles, shapes, colours and some designers add a creative touch to make them even more special.
