A body beautiful, fabulous you

We all want to look and feel fabulous, and there is no reason why you can't start now. When you look great, you feel great and no matter what your height, weight, shape or size, there is a look that will suit you and make you feel beautiful - inside and out

There are many reasons as to why you may feel overwhelmed when it comes to style and beauty. Maybe you have lost or put on weight and don't feel like yourself anymore; your confidence has been knocked and you find yourself feeling insecure and critical; you are new to motherhood and don't have the time to think about it or you simply have no idea where to start!

Whatever the reason, help is at hand. The 'Find Your Me-Spot' roadshow is touring the country to bring you top tips on all things beautiful, alongside confidence, flirting and contraception advice - everything you need to give life a bit of a pick-me-up and put time for yourself back on the agenda.

Each roadshow, which is free to attend, will host personal one-to-one fashion and style advice tailored to the woman's colourings, shape and season's must-haves from TV Presenter and Celebrity Stylist Nicky Hambleton-Jones' company, NHJ Style Consultancy.

Here, you can transform your style with the help of a dedicated team of personal stylists and make-up artists so you can come away feeling like a new woman - and looking fantastic.

Here are a few top tips to get you started:

Body shape
Forget the airbrushed images you compare yourself to, we are all different shapes and sizes. So whether you are hourglass or athletic in shape, there is no reason why you can't feel fabulous!

It is all about choosing your best assets (we all have them!) and showing them off, rather than shrouding them in baggy clothing or patterns that can distort that fabulous body underneath.

Bras
Yes, no matter how many times you hear it, it's still important that you wear the right size and shape bra. It only takes a few minutes to get measured! A good bra can actually help with your posture but can also make you feel confident, feminine and attractive.

Dress for less
We all feel great when we know we are 'on trend'. It makes us feel confident in our style choices. So whether you want to dress to impress or dress to express, you don't have to break the bank.

Take time to find out what shops have cuts, styles and sizing that best suits you. It means a lot of changing room time and you may find that one shop is better for trousers, one for dresses and another for tops. But it means your wardrobe will be perfect for you.

Accessorising
Accessorising can update an outfit instantly, it can also add versatility by dressing up or dressing down an outfit. So indulge in all manner of jewellery, belts, scarves, brooches, anything that takes your fancy and make your outfit very you!

Skincare
It's not all about the outfit but knowing that you have that special glow will allow you to carry off any outfit with an air of confidence.

A daily skincare regime is a must - after all, skin is our body's biggest organ - but also knowing how to apply our make-up is essential. Less is more and ideally you should invest in some time to talk to the experts who can tell you what colours suit you best so you can avoid looking like an eighties throw-back!

Feeling great has never been more fun! For further information on how to visit a Find Your Me-Spot roadshow near you and start to feel fabulous visit www.findyourmespot.com
