Dressing Pear Shapes
I've recently taken a couple of clients shopping that have been rather on the pear shaped side of things. It's tricky to find trousers to fit this shape correctly, especially when there is a big difference between the waist and hip size. I'm always surprised by the fact that a lot of designers don't quite seem to have cottoned on to this yet, as there are many, many women out there with this shape! More...

Dressing For Events
It's that time of year, when all the events are happening: Glyndebourne, Epsom Derby, Ascot, gala evenings, etc. All very exciting but possibly ruined by the panic about the age old question: 'What will I wear?' More...

The Sartorialist
Here at Busting Diva, we're loving the web blog of The Sartorialist. If you haven't seen it, it's a photographer's blog with a series of pictures of well dressed people on it, not models, just everyday people in the street. Updated every day by Scott Schuman, we love the fact that this isn't just about fashion, but style, which of course is what we're all about too. More...

Men's Fashion Tips
It is clear that men - as much as women - struggle with their style and fashion. I have noticed that increasingly men are getting jealous of all the Trinny and Susannah type programmes that are mainly concentrated on advising women - they want a piece of the action too! More...

Style Can Be Learned
A few months back I received a message from my sister who lives in Australia saying that she'd run into an old school friend of ours and he'd asked her to apologise on his behalf for the way he treated me in high school - oh and the reason he treated me that way was because he liked me! More...

The Black Myth
I felt I needed to comment on "the black myth" as there seems to be a few common misconceptions around that fabulous colour we call black. So many times clients have (mis)quoted to me that "everyone can wear black" or "black is slimming" and unfortunately neither of these statements are true - if you are trying to make the most of yourself by living within your own style guidelines.

One of the personal shoppers who works for Busting Diva mentioned she'd clipped an article from a newspaper which flowed in a similar vein to this eZine - but in regards to age. It was written by Elfi Pallis in The Guardian on February 3, 2007 called 'Progress is Skin Deep'. More...

Young Are Hung Up On Their Bodies
I have a particular fixation for morning news presenters and their often shoddy presentation. In fact I regularly find the daily onslaught an assault on my eyes! Considering they should all have some sort of access to celebrity stylists I personally think this is unacceptable! More...

The State Of The Nation
An opinion on style in the UK by Danièle Hromek, MD of Busting Diva
If you want to know what I think it's not who you know, it's how you look that gets you places. First impressions count and your style is the first thing that people see. It defines your image and when it's right and feels natural it can transform the way you act and the way people respond to you. More...
