Her fashion advice is straightforward: Think of yourself on a stage, and dress for the role you wish to play. There are no rules, save that the process of getting dressed should never be stressful. "I make myself a cosmo, turn on music," Ms. Field said. "I smoke a cigarette. I relax. I make it an enjoyable experience, a creative one."
"Put yourself in that mood," she advised, "and you’re going to look nice."

I stole these pics from Rag Pony and I love what she says about Kate Sylvester, Sylvester has been one of my favourite designers for years, years! Anyway, Rag Pony is right on the button with what she says (which I will also steal)..."New Zealand designers are "the ones who actually clothe the girls, you know, who make sure nobody leaves the house without a cardigan or a sensible pair of shoes". Bingo. Sylvester shows collections I can and will wear. As much as I can appreciate the look of sexyshorttightandbright dresses that abound at RAFW, in reality they aren't going to get anywhere near my body. Much more realistic is the charming combination of masculinity, femininity and nana that Sylvester does so well."
