Title! West Surrey Style is changing from a beauty and lifestyle blog into a more fashion and business focused resource.

How to shop without trying anything on

In this strange time, one of the unfortunate realities, at least here in the UK, is that when you’re out on the high street, you can’t go into a fitting room to try anything on. All the fitting rooms have a sign that says ‘fitting room closed’. Darn you Covid-19. Trying on clothes is halfContinue reading “How to shop without trying anything on”

The importance of comfortable shoes

I’ve blogged about this before, I’m sure I have, but it’s about time for an update. I’m getting older. We all are.

A flash of red

Red. It can be a really divisive colour. There are those who love it, and those who think wearing it is too ‘daring’. It’s a colour that can evoke both danger and passion. And it’s a colour that it’s very, very easy to get wrong. There is a whole spectrum of shades of red –Continue reading “A flash of red”

Behind The Scenes: Portfolio Shoot

When you’ve got four pairs of muddy boots, three dress bags full of clothes and a pile of earrings that seem to have become one with the necklaces sharing their bag, you know you’ve been on a location shoot.

Winter Is Here: Finding the perfect coat.

(Photo by Printeboek on Pixabay) Being a little on the thin side because of my Crohn’s Disease, I really feel the cold. I revel in big jumpers, fluffy socks and slipper boots at this time of year.

Five Reasons Knitwear Is King

The weather’s turned, and autumn is here. Hurrah! From my perspective, this is a great thing. I don’t really like the heat of summer very much, and I struggle to find clothes to wear in hot weather.
