bit days lines pull wisdom
I'm grateful for my lines of wisdom. Of course, there are days when I think: 'Oh my gawd, I look a bit tired.' But I can pull it together if I have to.
bad bits eat enhance everybody exercise good talking ways
I don't like talking about which bits I like or don't like about my body. Everybody has something they're not happy with, and my only advice would be, 'Do something about it - exercise or eat less, but don't do nothing!' Find ways to enhance the good bits and camouflage the bad bits.
possible rule
My one big rule for the over-40s is don't try to dress like an 18-year-old. It's possible to be 'on-trend' when you're older - you just have to look for the right stuff. You don't have to spend a fortune, either.
balance great key shape
The key with a full-skirt shape is to balance it out with a great figure-hugging top.
couple easy funny great kate love work worked
I love Kate Moss. I've worked with her a couple of times, and she is a great girl, really funny and easy to work with.
best bless jamie love
Jamie Oliver's books are the best. I love Jamie. Bless him!
golden good looking
My golden rules for looking good are to moisturise to ridiculousness with a really rich moisturiser. And I always take my make-up off before going to bed.
boring fluctuate love taking time
I love exercise, but I find it boring doing the same thing all the time, so I fluctuate between going to the gym, doing Pilates, and taking dance lessons.
flattering tone women
Yes, black is slimming, but it's not always youthful. The right tone of red, however, is flattering on all women.
We all have bits that we don't like, but you don't have to be a size 10 to look wonderful.
age attitude dressing people wearing
I don't like it when people say, 'You're 45, so you should be wearing X and never Y.' For me, dressing is about attitude, not age.
acting biggest business fear mean meet outfit somebody wear work
What you wear for work should be comfortable and empowering. If you're working in business, your outfit should mean business. If I go to meet somebody about an acting job, or something creative, then I'll be in my jeans. For me, overdressing is my biggest fear.
block bold design found gets harder obsessed print prints quite safer stella stick subtle wearing
Wearing a bold print gets harder as you get older. It's safer to stick to subtle prints or block colours. I have always found prints quite tricky. My daughter Carly, who is on the design team at Stella McCartney, is obsessed with them.
beautiful bed designing great life line love loves natural pleasures seemed sleep
Sleep is one of the great pleasures of life. Designing my bed linen line seemed like a natural progression for me. Everyone loves getting into a bed made up with beautiful linen. I love sewing, I love fabrics, and I love sleeping.
