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.

How To Style A Long Skirt

Uncategorized Mar 14, 2025

Tucking can completely change the look and balance of an outfit, but should you tuck all the way around or leave it relaxed?

Here’s my take:


When your skirt and top are the same colour:

Think of it like a dress. 

With no strong colour break, you can fully tuck, even at the back, without drawing attention to a harsh transition line.

This creates a seamless, elongating effect.




When your top and skirt are different colours:

This is where the details matter. I love a top with side splits as it allows for a soft drape at the back while creating a gentle tucked curve at the front.


The side split keeps the fabric from pulling across your tummy or hips, giving a flattering finish.



A nice little cut on the curve at the back of your top adds extra leg length at the sides.

Long Shirts And Stripes For Autumn

Uncategorized Mar 05, 2025

Long shirts are going to be everywhere this autumn, and they’re as easy to wear as they are stylish.

You’ll see them worn on their own as a statement piece, with details that range from subtle and sleek to bold and eye-catching.

Think extra stitching details, plus soft pussy bows for a bit of femininity, and even more masculine stripes or preppy built-in neckties.



Expect fabrics like structured cotton, silky finishes, and even lightweight wool blends, making them perfect for transitioning through the seasons.

The shapes will vary with some crisp and tailored, while others more relaxed and floaty, so there’s something for everyone.



In 2025, long shirts are going extra.

Some will hit midi lengths and double as dresses, while others will have dramatic cuffs, high side splits, or asymmetrical hems to keep things interesting.

Wear them on their own as a shirt dress with long boots, throw them loosely over wide-leg pants for an effortlessly cool look, or layer them under an over

What Colours Go With Red

Uncategorized Feb 26, 2025

Vibrant colour types, you will be wearing your reds with Vanilla cream and Oatmeal.



Creatives, you will be swapping your red out for coral and wearing it with Oatmeal.



Hair colour types will enjoy burgundy as their red and worn as an accessory rather than an item of clothing. Light stone, putty (both shown above) along with Vanilla cream, Oatmeal and Mushroom will work well with your burgundy.

Suggested Clutch Bag Colour For Each Colour Type

Uncategorized Feb 13, 2025

 

 

Something as simple as knowing which clutch bag to invest in for all of those staff, family, and friends events over the next couple of months is going to be invaluable. 

So let's break it down into buying for your personality until you learn your colour type.

Milsy - Creative

A creative's clutch bag looks best when it is - well, creative! A creative print like Chevron, urban and any artistic hand crafted print in black and white or black and off-white colour will work hard for you. This will give you more contrast with your statement clutch bag while the rest of your outfit is more medium in contrast, making it a  talking point for sure.

Hem Your Pants To The Proper Length

When choosing the hem length of your pants, consider the shoes you will wear. 

Based on my healed boots, I prefer the hem length shown in pictures 1 and 3 the most. Hem length 1 gives me a glamorous, flowy appearance while picture 3 exhibits a more deliberate crop effect that exposes almost all of my boot.

I am 159 cm tall so taking the long almost to the floor first pair of pants up 12 cm gives me the perfect purposeful crop look with my heeled pair of boots (above my ankle bone).

When I wear my flat street sneakers, I prefer my pants to float just above and almost touch the vamp of my shoe (the top nearest where my foot goes in). This makes the second picture my preferred length, which is taken up 8cm from the floor draping first picture. 

If I'm looking for a comfortable and relaxed look that I can wear with my flat street sneakers without
