For years, people have called me a "Sustainable Stylist".

The longer I do this work, the more I realise that title kept me in a box. I spend far less time talking about clothes these days - and far more time talking about communication.

Looking back, that probably isn't surprising.

My background spans performing arts, communications and marketing. I'm also a certified coach with an obsession for psychology, human behaviour and the way we show up in the world.

When it comes to personal presence, clothes were never really the point.

They're simply one of the ways we communicate confidence, credibility, values and intention before we've even spoken.

Style isn't about clothes. It's about communication.

— Roberta Lee

What if style was never really about clothes?

On Saturday I had the pleasure of delivering my Style with Substance Interactive Talk at The Power Lunch Club in London.

For years, style has been dismissed as superficial. Yet every day we make assumptions about people before they’ve said a single word.

What we wear shapes how we are seen, understood and remembered.

During the session we explored the relationship between style, presence and self-expression. We looked beyond trends and aesthetics to ask deeper questions.

Who are you today?

Who are you becoming?

And does your current wardrobe reflect that?

One of my favourite moments wasn’t standing at the front of the room - it was hearing the conversations afterwards.

Women sharing stories of career changes, new chapters, confidence, identity and the feeling that they’d never considered how their wardrobe could change how they think about themselves and how they show up.

That’s the work I love.

Helping people align how they are seen with who they truly are, where they are going and how they want to feel. Style isn’t about clothes. It’s about who you become in them ✨

A huge thank you to Caroline Donaghue and Beatrice Ronchetti for inviting me to speak, my fellow speakers Estelle Keeber for sharing their expertise so generously, and every single woman in the room for making it such a thoughtful, collaborative and inspiring day.

Speaking continues to be one of my favourite parts of my work because the best conversations don’t end when the talk does. The planting of a new seed for growth and a new perspective on personal style and presence begins...

Karisma came to me before a black tie event. She had everything she needed already - she just couldn't see any options in her wardrobe that excited her.

We spent an hour working entirely with what she already owned, and she left with a look she genuinely loved.

Her only new purchase was a bright pink lipstick.

If you have a last minute event and need some virtual event styling - this session is more than "just styling" its about unlocking the true potential from your existing wardrobe and seeing what you own from a fresh perspective.

We’ve just come out of a heatwave that forced many of us to walk out the door in shorts, showing our legs, showing our arms, wearing clothes that felt practical and cool - but if we’re really honest, probably not our favourite items, because they reveal parts of ourselves we’d rather keep covered.

I felt it myself this week. That’ll do energy. I wore a pair of house shorts almost all week because they let my skin breathe - and I genuinely felt the difference in myself because of it.

And then I put this top on. Kindly gifted by Jenerous - and I felt more like myself the moment I put it on.

Sometimes that’s all it takes. The right piece, consciously chosen.

Did you reach for something this week that felt very much like “that’ll do” or “this feels like me” - I’d love to know.

If this feels familiar, I write about style, brands I love and life changes more honestly in the Inner Circle.

In Episode 28 of The Inspirational Women Series, I’m joined by Giovanna Sessi-Knott - designer, entrepreneur and former banking professional. We talk about style, identity and trusting your intuition as your career evolves.

We explored what happens when success no longer feels sustainable, why energy management matters more than pushing through, and how creating a lifestyle that reflects your values can change the way you live and work.

One part of the conversation I particularly loved was around style. Giovanna spoke about identifying as her former self “the banker”, and realising her wardrobe no longer reflected who she was becoming creatively, even though that role was years behind her.

We also discussed the power of colour analysis, simplifying decisions and why dressing for your actual lifestyle can make life feel lighter.

I don’t think most women realise how exhausting it can become to keep getting dressed as someone you no longer feel connected to.

You can often see the disconnect before someone even says it out loud. The hesitation in front of the wardrobe. The feeling that nothing quite feels right anymore, even though technically there are plenty of clothes there.

Usually, it isn’t really about needing a whole new wardrobe. It’s that identity has shifted, while style has stayed emotionally attached to an older version of who they were.

It’s one of the reasons I talk so much about colour, presence and identity rather than trends.

Because when it FEELS right, it's a different type of energy that supports your nervous system...

I resurfaced this piece recently because I think many women are feeling this right now.

Eight years ago, Stella Bida was one of the early guests I interviewed for The Inspirational Woman Series, on my Podcast.

At the time, we spoke about confidence, creativity and finding your place in the world.

This year, she returned to the podcast… and the conversation felt completely different. Not because either of us had become completely different people, but because life has a way of stripping back the identities we thought we needed to perform.

We spoke about emotional alignment, people-pleasing, external validation, burnout, boundaries and the uncomfortable process of becoming who you really are beneath expectation, ambition and survival mode.

One of the most powerful moments in the conversation was Stella reflecting on how she had the word “alignment” inside her head for years before she truly understood what she was searching for.

I think many women experience that feeling.

The uncomfortable awareness that something no longer fits… even when life on paper still looks successful.

This conversation explores identity, reinvention, style, grounding rituals and the pressure many women feel to keep performing versions of themselves that no longer feel aligned.

The podcast is finally back.

And honestly, after burnout, a breakup and several life-changing chapters of my own… so am I.

If you’ve ever felt like some outfits just don’t quite work - even when the pieces themselves are good - it’s often not as simple as needing something new.

What I see quite often is people trying to apply colour rules that don’t fully translate to them.

You might recognise yourself in a palette, or follow a system, but something still feels slightly off in practice. A big part of that comes down to how you actually feel in certain colours.

Some colours make you feel clear, comfortable, and like yourself. Others can feel slightly disconnected, even if they’re technically “right” on paper. That’s usually not a colour problem - it’s a clarity problem.

Understanding how colour works for you - both visually and in how it feels to wear - is what makes the difference.

Backstage at the Natural History Museum…

In 2018, I worked on the Fashion for Conservation runway as part of the Whitley Fund for Nature Hope Gala - a fundraising event bringing together fashion, conservation and Sir David Attenborough as a special guest on stage.

The runway show featured Deborah Milner and Amy Powney for Mother of Pearl, with a backstage team including makeup designer Attracta Courtney and her team, using Weleda skincare.

I supported behind the scenes with styling and coordinating the models before the runway.

What stayed with me from this experience wasn’t just the scale of the event, but how much precision it takes to bring a show like this together - across people, timing and environment.
And how ahead of its time this event was - and that I was part of it.

It’s also a reminder of how much talent exists within sustainable couture that doesn’t always get the visibility it deserves. Deborah Milner’s work is a perfect example of that.


Thank you to .j.holmes and the team for the opportunity
