What's The Golden Rule With Barrel Leg Jeans

Uncategorized Sep 10, 2025

It can take a little time to wrap your head around new trends, but when you land on one that truly suits you, that you love, and that has staying power, that’s when your Boss knowledge really clicks into place.

Barrel-leg jeans are one of those pieces you can wear all year round.

The golden rule? Always contrast your last hemline and make sure the jeans float way above the vamp of your foot.

In winter, think of a heeled pair of boots to engage your calf muscle, adding length to your lower leg .

Or, reach for flat street sneakers with laces as they create that elongating ‘ladder effect’ up your foot, keeping the look more flattering and never thickening.
 
            

When the weather warms up, give your barrel-legs a single cuff, or even a double if you’re more of a flats girl (think loafers or slingbacks).

The secret Boss trick your girlfriends don’t know yet?


Show off the skin on the vamp of your foot.

As long as that area’s exposed, you can go as flat as you like and still keep the look sh

Curly Hair Wash Routine

Uncategorized Sep 08, 2025

Your hair isn’t the boss of you; you’re the boss of it.

Decide how you want it to behave, lay down the rules, and watch those curls fall into line (well… as much as curls ever do 😉).



         


Here's the thing about curly (or wavy) hair: It doesn't need 47 products and a prayer. 

It just needs you to be the Boss.

Here are a few simple rules:

1. Less really is more. You don’t need a shelf full of potions. If you’ve got the right products, sometimes one is enough. Take your cleanser: first wash clears away the day, second wash sits and doubles as a conditioner. Done.
  This means that your cleanser acts as a cleaner and a conditioner, just use it twice. 

2. Water is Queen. Nothing can moisturise your hair better than water. Water is more important than oils, serums and hair masks. Keep adding water (especially if you have fizz). Your hair just needs a drink, only water can quench its thirst. Nothing will ever beat plain old H₂O. If your curls are frizzing, they’re thirsty. Keep...

How To Tie A Silk Scarf

Uncategorized Aug 27, 2025

One of my very favourite style hacks is this: arms in, legs out… and arms out, legs in. 

This is why I love long sleeve shirts in Spring, Summer and Autumn.


It’s simple, but it works every single time.

Here’s why: our eye is always drawn to contrast and to the areas of skin we choose to reveal.


         
 
When you cover one area (say, your arms in long sleeves) and show another (bare legs), you create balance.

The fabric acts as a backdrop while the skin becomes the feature.

 

         


The reverse also works beautifully, sleeveless or short sleeves with your legs covered.

Again, it’s that play between exposure and coverage that keeps the look chic and intentional, never overdone.

Think of it as giving the eye one clear invitation.


          

Too much on display can feel confusing or less polished, but when you choose your highlight, arms or legs, the rest of your outfit supports it with shape, colour, and fabric.

It’s such a small shift, but once you start dressing with this

How To Tie A Silk Scarf

Uncategorized Aug 25, 2025

 

Let's go tie a scarf and send it soaring up through the atmosphere, up where the sky is clear, Oh, let's go tie a scarf! 

I adored Mary Poppins growing up, her magic, her charm, her impeccable style.

But that doesn’t mean I want to dress exactly the way she did back then.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s so much to love about that era. And yes, fashion trends always have a way of circling back.

But the secret is this: when those vintage styles return, you have to bring them forward with a modern twist.

That’s how I stay (and keep you) ageless, polished, and effortlessly stylish, never costume-y, always current.


         

I may be over 50 and grey-haired.

BUT!

Letting go of the constant cycle of colouring my hair has been liberating, not just for my time and energy, but for my wallet too. The freedom is remarkable.


I've never felt better about the fun I have daily in my wardrobe.

Knowing my best colours and best prints makes something as simple as choosing the right on-trend silk s

Best Shirt Style For Your Wardrobe

Uncategorized Aug 19, 2025

 

You’ve probably been told your whole life by stylists everywhere that everyone needs a white shirt.

And they’re half right.

Yes, everyone does need a shirt in their best light neutral.

But also in their skin colour, their eye colour, their best dark neutral, and their most uplifting enhancement colour.

Because one white shirt just isn’t going to cut it if you want a wardrobe that actually works (and isn't boring).

Now… what style of shirt do you need, and when will you wear it the most?

A winter shirt is all about layering, so it has a cleaner front, slimmer sleeves for under jackets, and a tidy collar that tucks perfectly under knits and doesn't behave too domineeringly when you choose to button it all the way up. 

They are also longer to stick out of the bottom of your knit jumpers and waist-length jackets and generally in cotton as no one will see the creases under the layering.

              


Now, let me introduce you to The Spring Shirt.

How To Style and Wear White Jeans

Uncategorized Aug 08, 2025

White jeans can completely transform your wardrobe, but they’re not just a simple swap for your classic blue denim.

They ask for a little more intention when it comes to styling.

So let’s take a look at some of the best colours to pair with fresh, crisp white for effortless impact.

Match your mood with a colour strategy.

              


There are some fabulous light neutral classic colours that bring a casual balance to the strength of crisp white. 
 

Prefer a calm, polished vibe? For hair colour types and romantic personalites, opt for soft, tonal neutrals like putty, oatmeal, mushroom, camel, light grey, or blush pink.

Going tonal is also perfect for Triangle and Hourglass body shapes to create flow without cutting the body in half.



               


Want impact? 
For EyesCreative and Vibrant colour types and Theatrical personalitites, pair your white jeans with a bold block colour on top or with a coloured jacket as a frame, especially great for Rectangle or Inverted Triangles.

How To Style A Shacket

Uncategorized Aug 04, 2025

When it comes to investing in a shacket, I like to reach for one that’s a little less mainstream, something with personality. And I love a dark wash for that added touch of sophistication.

Heading out for the night or off to a fancy lunch?

Don’t underestimate the power of the shacket. Sure, it’s perfect over a tee and jeans, but it’s so much more than a casual layer.

It’s technically a jacket, so treat it like one! Try throwing it over a dress.

It instantly takes the edge off and makes something dressy feel relaxed and effortless.

Bonus: because shackets are lighter than traditional jackets, they won’t add bulk. That means more styling options, not less.

You can even tuck one into a pair of stunning, tailored pants for a layered, elevated look that still feels easy.


         


Double or triple denim, perhaps? Go for it!

          


Another styling trick that will make anyone look longer and leaner is by wearing the same colour in one continuous silhouette (a good reason why I

Benefits Of Layering Navy

Uncategorized Jul 29, 2025

Wearing and collecting all navy as a base colour creates a very sophisticated silhouette which is so easy to layer under more casual items like café coats, cardigans, and denim jackets. 

               

And the best part?

You can also layer navy with navy.

Different tones, different textures, different fabrications, it all works, as long as each piece is touching the next.



                

That way, it doesn’t look like you got dressed in the dark… it looks intentional, layered, and incredibly stylish.

Here’s the simple rule:

You can separate navy with another coloured item in between if the navy pieces are the exact same colour and fabric.

When that’s the case, it reads as a suit, and it just works. 

We’ve seen this done our whole lives, on all age groups, across every trend, and in every smart setting.

That’s why it feels ageless, polished, and totally right (left-hand picture below).


               
 

All forms of navy can be worn together in different fabrics when touching completely as a...

How To Style Raincoats & Windbreakers

Uncategorized Jul 28, 2025

Raincoats and windbreakers come in lots of different colours and prints.

Let's talk about which one would work hardest for you in your winter wardrobe. 



Take a real close look at the animal print rain coat choices above. 

The first one reflects light up onto my face (as dull as it is during winter), which gives a very friendly, youthful, and approachable effect (think kids' sport, teacher yard duty or trying to score a free coffee).

The thing to consider here is that you must own warm tan, camel or crisp white boots.

Any skin tone or blush coloured boots will repeat that pink toned, romantic colour
 down below your last hem length.

The dark rain coat, although also an animal print, is moody and edgy, it's the kind of vibe that means business. 

Your winter boots will need to be light. Do you wear mainly dark bottoms in winter? Or a colour (which means any bottoms can be worn). Or white, which contrasts everything.

Think of when you would be wearing a rain coat. Check the shoes
