Suz thought that Trinny does a fantastic department store shop for inspiration. She takes us from Cos to Maje to Hobbs to Theory (and so much more!) trying on items and discussing their merits and demerits as she goes. She adds: “It’s a great education in how to shop, especially for those who easily feel overwhelmed in a department store. It’s almost as good as shopping with Angie in that she transmits the same rich fund of fashion knowledge together with a genuine love for clothes.”
