Fancy a co-ord?

June 6, 2022

What’s a co-ord I hear you say? It is two piece outfits that match either in print, colour or fabric. This season a co-ord is a must-have. I love the versatility of one, when you wear it together it’s a super stylish outfit, but the pieces can also be worn separately with other pieces in your wardrobe to make up lots more outfits.

Multi-wear co-ords can be dressed up or dressed down for all body shapes, styles and occasions. Requiring minimal styling but arguably causing maximum impact, they’ll not only halve your getting ready time but will also help solve the conundrum of what to wear. First imagined by Coco Chanel in the 1920s, contemporary co-ords have their roots in her instantly recognisable matching tweed cardigan jackets and skirts. For SS22, they come in all shapes, sizes and styles – observed on this season’s catwalks.

Matchy matchy sets are very much on the 2022 style agenda so get yours now.

5 Spring updates to buy now

June 6, 2022

Wondering what to get this season to bring your wardrobe upto date, well don’t fear here is my Top 5 pieces to invest in and last through Summer.

STRIPE SHIRT

Stripes are everywhere this season, see my blog post ‘Bold Spring stripes’ for more inspiration. But the stripe shirt is the wardrobe hero for this whole year. Wear it tucked into jeans, loose with skirts, over swimwear or open with smart trousers, this versatile piece will ensure it becomes your uniform for the coming weeks (well it is mine!).

NECK SCARVES

The newest accessory that you add to any outfit, but mainly with shirts as above, jumpsuits and to add styling detail to plain t-shirts and blazers.

CREAM /WHITE SHOES

Something that instantly updates your outfit and makes it look more Spring like are lighter coloured shoes. The trend for cream of white footwear has been growing for a while and this is a great time to invest in something that will also work through Autumn.

DENIM

Denim is having a comeback, especially in shirts and dresses this season. Pair the shirts with smart trousers, skirts or hanging loose over vests.

SHIRT DRESSES

The shirt dress is uncomprimising and a wardrobe staple in anyones wardrobe, update it with stripes, prints or bright colours this season.

What to wear on Christmas Day

December 13, 2021

This is always a dilemma for alot of Women out there and I often get asked; “What can I wear on Christmas Day?”. Lots of practical reasons will have an affect on what you wear on the big day; Are you cooking? Are you having guests? Do you go out for lunch? It also can be filled in family traditions, some people get really dressed up and others stay in their pyjamas all day chilling out grazing on cheese and chocolate. But this year more than ever it seems to be in the forefront of our minds, maybe because we were locked down last year so there was no need to make any effort, so this year people do.
