Ep.90 Out of the Bubble with The Style Whisperer, Aleksandra Olenska

Give me an opportunity to talk about fashion and I'm happy! This week I'm talking with Aleksandra Olenska. Having worked as a Stylist, Consultant and Creative Director for brands including Chanel, Celine and Tom Ford, Gucci, Vogue and Harpers for over 20 years, Aleksandra brings her expertise and European heritage to private clients as the style-whisperer, helping modern mid-life women to evolve their personal style and up-level life, to attract more love and abundance and feel more elegant, relevant, stylish confident and vavavoom! Offering a discreet style confidant, providing a 360 degree styling service for all your style needs, and helping you to evolve your INSIDE OUT STYLE IDENTITY at this time in life, to feel like your best you! Aleksandra believes style comes from the inside out…as much as it’s about your clothes and what you surround yourself with, it’s that deep rooted feeling of inner confidence and self assuredness - the inner joy and calm that you take with you wherever you go and whatever life throws at you! I loved talking with Aleksandra and she gave us some great tips. What 3 words would you use to describe your style? I chose Confident, Sexy and Calm. Subjects covered- Where her love for fashion began Behind the scenes of the fashion industry Developing your own sense of style How are style changes as we age How we can update our wardrobe in midlife What 3 words would you use to describe your style? What book inspires you? The Tell Tale Brain - Ramachandran Homo Deus: a Brief History of Tomorrow - Yuval Harari What song motivates you? The House of the Rising Sun- The Animals Who inspires you? Aleksandra quotes both her grandmothers as her inspiration, recalling lots of lovely memories of both of them and how her  'babcia' Polish grandmother has influenced her.

With a new year comes new plans and I'm excited to move the Out of the Bubble platform forward in 2022. I have now created a FREE "Step Out of the Bubble" private group. Last year has really shown us all the benefit of making new connections and gaining support from one another. Whilst I love sharing all the inspiring women on the podcast, I am missing that interaction from you all and am keen to expand this to provide a platform where you can all interact and share your own midlife journeys to inspire and help motivate other women. A safe space to share and feel part of a community of women all finding their own way through midlife. Where you get to hear from amazing women who are embracing life and leaving a trail of inspiration along the way. Encouraging women after 40 to try something new and step out of their own bubble. A group to share, celebrate wins, encourage and support other members. It's your time to shine! Join here I'll be back next week, so in the meantime, .... Keep being fabulous Rachel x (Music credited to Scott Holmes- By Big Adventure)
