Time Out From Summer in Style: Summer Short Dresses....

The curtains are gradually coming down on the Great British summer. We are still buzzing from the excitement of the Olympics. My highlight must have been Daniel Craig appearing as Bond! Then the gorgeous Jennifer Ennis triumph in Heptathlon. We now have new trademark poses the  'Mobot',  the 'lightning Bolt' and 'the beast'; giving us Lessons on Image and  personal branding!

"It's really important for me to look good before a race" - Jennifer Ennis 

Who ever said looks don't matter should ask Gabby Douglas, the 16 year old American gymnast who won 2 golds medals in three days. "I'm like, 'I just made history and people are focused on my hair?"  Well, ask Jennifer Ennis, she understands the importance of looking good regardless of the occasion. Image is everything, even talent needs a nice packaging. I bet her publicist and management will take care of that.
