Kelly Cooper Barr - Stylist and Fashion Editor
Kelly is a Stylist/Fashion Editor for The Saturday Herald Magazine. She is originally from Edinburgh and was a Brownie."A woman should believe in herself. We're multi tasking mothers, daughters, wives, friends, making the world better!"
Scotland and being Scottish...
Elie Beach Side High Street. I love most coastal paths in Scotland. I love to visit the
beach, even on a wet windy day. It reminds me of my childhood and just recharges my batteries.
Sometimes I'll down tools if things are getting too stressful and head to the nearest beach
and within minutes of stepping onto the sand I feel great again.
Annie Lennox - because she is still driven after all these years. She is extremely talented, a hard working single mum and does huge amounts for charity... and is strikingly beautiful.
Cashmere of course. a huge scarf/pashmina that would keep me warm AND stylish and I could use as a blanket at night.
1. Always feel comfortable in your clothes because if
you don't feel good you won't look good.
2. Choose clothes that will flatter your body shape
and colouring rather than being a slave to the latest
trend.
3. Smile!
I enjoyed styling Sir Paul McCartney as he is a living legend and he sang and played the guitar to me and the photographer all day. He was charming.
I loved going to the Brownies every week and taking up the badge challenges. I can only remember one friend, Lesley. Don't know what has become of her.
The new Guiding activities sound amazing. I wish I could go back! My uniform was a brown tunic with a yellow tie with lots of badges!
The greatest challenge was when my marriage broke up. I had massive debt, two bewildered kids,
no home and a career to keep afloat. On my own I got through it.
It made me stronger and more determined to be a success. It also made me face my fears (losing
my lovely home and home life). It made me less frightened of change and losing possessions.
A woman should believe in herself. We are amazing, multi tasking mothers, daughters, wives, girlfriends, friends who make the world a better place!
FOLLOW YOUR DREAM AND GO FOR GOLD - in other words, try not to compromise too much.
My teenage kids: Josh and Skye make me laugh!
