Ponte Fabric And How It Behaves

Uncategorized May 09, 2025

 

What is Ponte?

Ponte (pronounced pon-tee) is a double-knit fabric, meaning it's made with two layers of fabric knitted together.

It’s usually a blend of rayon, nylon, and spandex, which gives it a magical combination of structure, stretch, and softness.

It’s thicker than your average jersey but softer and stretchier than suiting fabric, so basically, it’s the best of both worlds.



                  
 

5 Reasons Ponte Pants Should Be in Your Wardrobe:
 

1. They’re Polished and Comfortable.
Ponte pants look structured and polished like tailored trousers, but they feel as comfortable as leggings. You get that "I look put together" vibe without sacrificing comfort.


2. They Hold Their Shape.
Thanks to the double-knit construction and spandex content, ponte doesn’t sag or bag out at the knees and bum after a few hours of wear. Your pants stay sleek and fresh from morning to night.


3. They’re Ultra-Flattering.
Ponte fabric has enough weight to smooth over lumps and bumps but enough stretch to mo

How To Mix Prints

Uncategorized May 06, 2025

 

This keeps things visually cohesive even if the designs themselves are different.
 

For example, in the image below (from 2015!), I'm wearing a striped tee with a watercolour print scarf.

Two very different prints, but the trick is, they both share blush pink and charcoal tones. That colour connection instantly brings harmony.


 

                                


If you’re feeling a bit braver, play with opposing designs. Stripes vs swirls, geometric vs organic, structured vs fluid.

As long as the colours relate, you can have more freedom with the print.

Even more advanced?

Try pairing enhancing colours (rather than matching ones). That’s where the magic happens.

Like the outfit below of the blazer with gold and denim animal print. None of those colours are in my strong logo tee, but gold enhances black and white print beautifully.

My tee has black and white, which is the ultimate print for Eyes and Vibrants to have in their wardrobes.

How To Wear Mixed Metals

Uncategorized Apr 25, 2025

 

LESSON: Wearing Mixed Metals the Boss Way


Let’s bust a myth right up front:

You absolutely can mix silver, gold, rose gold and everything in between.

And not only can you, but you should, if you want that elevated, modern, “cool without trying too hard” vibe.

But let’s do it the Boss way, with purpose, not panic.


WHY MIXED METALS WORK

When done right, mixing metals adds:

  • Depth to your outfit (makes simple outfits look styled)

  • Effortlessness (you don’t look like you tried too hard)

  • Modernity (feels current, not matchy-matchy)

It's one of the easiest ways to upgrade a basic outfit without adding layers or fuss.


START WITH A DOMINANT METAL

Pick one to be your lead, usually the one that complements your Boss Colour Type best.

✨ Warm Bosses? Silver or white gold is your best friend.
❄️ Cool Bosses? Gold contrasts on you.
🌹 Hair colour type or Romantic personality? Rose gold is your secret sauce.
🎭 Theatrical or Creative? Try blackened silver or oxidise

How To Style A Boyfriend Blazer

Uncategorized Apr 15, 2025

 

Why the Boyfriend Blazer is a Style Icon.

The boyfriend blazer is that rare piece that strikes the perfect balance between tailored and relaxed.

Originally inspired by the idea of borrowing a blazer from your boyfriend’s wardrobe, this blazer is intentionally oversized, longer in length, and a little more relaxed in structure than a traditional tailored version.




Here’s what makes it a wardrobe game-changer:

1. It adds instant cool.

Pop it on over a tee and jeans, casual tracksuit, fabulous skirt or a midi dress, and suddenly the whole outfit feels elevated. It says, “I’m put-together, but I didn’t try too hard.”

2. It’s incredibly versatile.

A boyfriend blazer works across seasons and occasions. School drop-off? Add it over activewear. Drinks with friends? Pair it with a silky cami, denim and heels. Office meeting? Throw it over a blouse and wide-leg trousers. It’s the piece that says yes to all of it.

3. It flatters without clinging.

Thanks to its looser fit, it skims ...

How To Style Animal Print

 

The Timeless Power of Animal Print

Animal print has been a symbol of strength, confidence, and effortless glamour for centuries.

From royalty to rock stars, it has always carried an air of boldness and individuality.

Historically, wearing animal print was a sign of status and power.

Ancient rulers and nobility draped themselves in furs and exotic patterns to showcase wealth and dominance.

Fast forward to the 1920s, and leopard print made its way into high fashion, thanks to designers like Elsa Schiaparelli. By the 1960s, it became a rebellious statement, worn by icons like Brigitte Bardot and Eartha Kitt.

 



The beauty of animal print lies in its versatility.

It can be bold or subtle, classic or edgy, depending on how it’s styled.

It’s one of those patterns that never truly goes out of fashion, it simply evolves.

Today, animal print is a wardrobe staple.

Whether in a statement coat, a blouse, hoodie, skirt or just a touch of it in accessories, it brings an element of con

Autumn Knits: Your Style Eessentials

Uncategorized Mar 31, 2025

 

Vintage-inspired printed knits are a must-have this autumn, but as a Boss Babe, we know our style isn’t dictated by trends, we wear our pieces forever.

Let’s start by pairing these knits with pleated skirts, quilted bags, and cowboy boots.

Don’t have cowboy boots? No problem!

I’ve swapped out that trend for my trusty light tan muck-out boots, proving that great style is about making it yours.

Light tan is my go-to for autumn and winter footwear, it creates the perfect contrast against my longer-length outfits, adding last hem line contrast to every look.

 






Just because quilted bags are trending doesn’t mean you need to rush out and buy one.

Instead, try reinventing a bag you already own! Simply add a chain belt as a handle.

I’ve threaded mine through the handle rings at least five times for a customised touch.







Patent handbags, belts, and shoes are having a moment, but for me, they’ve always been timeless.

I naturally gravitate towards glossy finishes in rich reds and sleek

Autumn Trend - Layering

Uncategorized Mar 28, 2025

 

Autumn (and winter) layering trend = hoodies under your leather jackets, oversized blazers, denim jackets and coats.

Make sure you consider your fabrics that will be going under items that will be worn the entire day, keep this hoodie light weight and really interesting, either by way of colour or a fabulous print. 


In other words - check your coco! 



Don't repeat your shoes in your hoodie, print colour, pants, blazer, coat or handbag.

This becomes easier over time as you build your perfect shoe collection.

Gone are the days of only owning one basic pair of shoes. 








When choosing a hoodie to wear under your coats, chances are you will be removing that coat once inside, upon arrival at your destination. 

That means fit checking your outfit completely before adding your coat to make sure it stands alone as the style Queen you are before checking it again once your coat is on.

You will need to consdier this a two look operation. Coat on, coat off...






A trend that’s stylish, comfy

How To Style A Print Cardigan

Uncategorized Mar 19, 2025

 

 

Print cardigans bring excitement to Autumn layering and I have a real soft spot for a classic light neutral shirt paired with jeans under a printed cardigan.

"But why a shirt?" you might ask.

Well, let’s talk about the traditional purpose of a cardigan.

Originally designed as a knitted wool sweater with an open front, it was all about warmth and layering, without the struggle of pulling it over your head (no hair or makeup mishaps... thank you!).





And here’s where the magic happens.

If you’re out and about, getting a little hot and flustered (hello, perimenopause!), and need to ditch the cardigan, you’re still left with a fabulous shirt, one that pairs seamlessly with jeans, chinos, or wide leg pants.

It’s layering made easy, with zero hair or makeup styling regrets.


 



 

I’ll also be styling a navy shirt with both of these cardigans to take the look in a completely different direction.

Dark neutrals have a way of adding depth, contrast (with the light one), and polish to a printed...

How to Style Barrel Leg Jeans

Uncategorized Mar 19, 2025

The key tips to styling barrel leg jeans, so you don't second guess yourself, in other words, put them on and then take them off again.

Barrel leg jeans are designed to show the entire barrel shape down your leg and finish way before your foot begins. 

An easy way to highlight this is by way of a nude block heeled shoe or chunky heeled boots. 


Nude colours are your skin colours like blush, peach, soft orange, light tan, light grey and light neutrals like white, off white and vanilla tones. 



When choosing a flat shoe like a sling back or a slim line streat sneaker, cuff those barrel leg jeans so they are no where near the top of your foot. 

A small cuff will give barrel leg jeans a slight taper, creating a natural funnel effect that balances beautifully with a slimmer, flat shoe.

If you're tall, you’ve already got this built-in advantage! 😊 No need to cuff to all.




You can wear your blue print sneakers, just make sure you add that cuff or have a large gap between your sneakers and the jeans.
