forever stylish How to feel I Sam’s Secrets BY SAM & JORDI WOODS am a great believer that beauty comes from within and our style or what the outside world sees is just an extension of this beauty. Therefore, “feeling forever” stylish can be a constant work in progress as we age both physically and emotionally. For me, being a Stylist and Makeup Artist does make being stylish everyday on the outside a little easier as I know what suits my physical appearance however, this doesn’t mean I feel fabulous within myself all the time. Just like everyone I have my “yucky” days too. What I have found though is the days I don’t feel good is often more a state of mind and how I prioritise my time than the things I am wearing.

If there is one thing I have discovered in my 30+ years of working with women is the common thread – we all like to present our best self whenever possible. For some women style and dressing up isn’t a priority nor is it something that comes naturally however, I have also discovered that when a woman feels they look their best their confidence and demeanour can sky rocket.
