the school run 🏃‍♀️

So thought it might be useful to have a few prompts to help prevent you falling into a gym gear on repeat rut!!

🏃‍♀️Prep and plan your outfits in advance to stop you from reaching for the same few items on repeat.

🏃‍♀️If denim is a big part of your casual/school run wardrobe then try different shapes and styles.

🏃‍♀️Mix up your outerwear - cardigans, light weight jackets, leather jacket etc - as this will help you to look like your whole outfit is different even if you’re wearing the same jeans and top underneath.

🏃‍♀️Don’t forget about accessories - jewellery/bags/belts etc.

🏃‍♀️ Mix up smart and casual pieces so sweatshirts with skirts/trousers with slogan tees etc

🏃‍♀️ Don’t ignore your dresses and skirts as these can be just as good worn casually with the right footwear and layers too.

Keeping cool 😎 in the summer with AIRism @uniqloeurope AD…

It’s not always an easy task when you’re on the go, on holiday or dealing with summer in the city but the clever people at Uniqlo have you covered thanks to the high performance, lightweight fabric that is AIRism. Designed to release the heat and moisture, the fabric wicks away sweat and keeps you cool and dry when you’re on the go - genius 👌

The range includes dresses, tops, underwear and active wear so head to Instagram stories for links/info on sizing and to see up close, plus a little try on of some of their shape wear.

Oh and the dresses have pockets - need I say more 👏👏

Blazers…

They are a wardrobe staple for a reason because they’re such a versatile piece that you can wear over dresses, skirts, trousers and denim; dress it up for work; down for casual and more or less everything in between. Never mind that it’s a brilliant option in this crazy weather.

And for the summer a linen blazer is something I wear on repeat.

You do need to pay attention to fit, fabric and style to make sure you get it right and it isn’t the case that a blazer will work with absolutely every item - as ever you need to to consider the proportions within the outfit. But if you want more details on this and what to look for/avoid then head to stories which is full of tips and info.

One to save for inspiration 📌📌

Workwear outfit ideas …

Working from home on zoom calls, dress down Fridays and office days - here are a few combos with trousers/jeans you can use as inspiration. Just use the outfit formulas and adapt from your wardrobe or head to stories for links. Many pieces have already been linked previously so do check my May and June highlights as well.

Here are a few tips:

💻 Have a mix of jacket shapes/lengths/colours to wear with different bottoms. It’s only by having enough variety in your wardrobe that you can create different looks.

💻 Similarly make sure you have more than one style/shape of trouser. And you can definitely mix your materials and wear leather or other less traditional workwear fabrics.

💻 if you’re wearing a jacket make sure the neckline doesn’t fight with the collar.

💻 I have only used loafers/pointed flats on this reel but swap in heels 👠 or ballet flats 🥿 as appropriate.

💻 For funny weather like this crazy British summer a trench is a great outerwear option.

💻 Working from home on zoom calls? Pretty blouses you can wear with jeans, some colour and don’t forget jewellery - will all help to add interest.

Summer layers …

Let’s face it we need them as the weather is not playing ball ☔️so here are a few different options I wear on repeat.

It’s important to have variety on your styles from a shape and proportions point of view because different styles work with different combos

For example shorter, neater jackets are better either way wide leg trousers and denim and balance out the volume on the bottom.

Whereas longer blazers/utility styles are very good with a slimmer leg jean.

There’s obviously lots more you can look at from quilted jackets to cropped trenches, bombers and more but it is always the proportions of an entire outfit that you need to consider together.

Shorts… how do you wear yours?

Mini break style ✈️ 🖤🤎🤍

If you’re heading off on a city break/mini break then here is a little capsule for you with outfit ideas/tips on how to streamline the packing process.

✈️ Stick to a limited colour palette so it’s easy to mix/match - I have 3 colours

✈️ lightweight layers in natural fabrics are ideal for the heat

✈️ Accessories/footwear can change your look but metallics/neutrals such as black/tan etc will be versatile and work with everything.

✈️ You don’t need an entirely new outfit for each day/night. Mix and match your pieces in different combos.

The linen shirt …

It’s a spring/summer staple for good reason because you can do a lot with it - from wearing to work, dressing down with denim, on the beach with shorts or as a cover up, worn with dresses and skirts in lots of ways whether you wear open, tuck or tie ….

Here’s over 10 different looks for you to use as inspo 📌📌

What to wear now ☔️☀️🌨️💨

There is currently an annoying gap between what we might like to wear/ what is in the shops/what we see on Insta and what the weather is making us wear! So here are 6 ways to inject spring into your outfits while still dressing for the actual weather!

🍃 Layers layers layers. All the way. I’m still in thermals and my lightweight puffa is getting A LOT of use under trenches/light coats etc.

🍃 Swap black for navy for an instant spring hit.

🍃 Get some colour in your life - knitwear/accessories/trainers - whatever you can!! Lifts the mood and instantly feels more optimistic 🌈 it’s called dopamine dressing for a reason!

🍃 Lighten things up - be that your outerwear, accessories or footwear. Be gone black boots!!

🍃 Nothing says stripes like spring

🍃 Socks - if you’re wearing an ankle length denim embrace socks rather than having cold ankles 🥶

🍃And obviously don’t forget your waterproofs!

Weatherproof style with @uniqloeurope …

Ad - With all the ☔️💨🥶coats are the most important item in your A/W wardrobe and given you’ll be wearing them on repeat for the next few months, you need options!!!

🧥 A warm, weatherproof style is an absolute must and the Seamless Down range delivers on all fronts. They come in various lengths and a whole host of colours to suit. It’s a style I buy on repeat for my clients because it’s such a great fit too 🙌🙌

🧥 It’s also important to have a smarter option for when you need to dress up as the wrong coat will ruin your look.

🧥 And don’t forget about clever little secret layers to keep you toasty in the months ahead!

5 ways to update your skinny jeans this autumn

#LTKstyletip #LTKeurope #LTKVideo

8 key items to update your AW wardrobe:

1. The slip skirt
2. All things grey
3. Leather
4. The boucle jacket
5. Stripes
6. Loafers
7. Ballet pumps
8. Tailored trousers

#LTKstyletip #LTKeurope

5 Tips if you have a large bust

1. Necklines - this is the one most people know: lower necklines create a sense of length through the torso and minimise the bust.

2. Sleeves - this is key: inserted sleeves are the most flattering so be careful of dolmans/batwing/grown on sleeves and dropped shoulders as these add unwanted volume at the bust. Also choose slimmer sleeves for the same reason and avoid sleeves that finish at mid bust.

3. Fabric - another important one: soft, drapey, light weight materials are best. Be careful with stuff, bulky, chunky, textured knits etc.

4. Fit - it’s a balance but oversized will make you look larger than you are. A style that shows your contours without clinging is often best.

5. Details - avoid details on the busy area so frills/slogans/pockets/buttons etc are not helpful.

And a couple more I couldn’t fit in the video -

Be careful with tucking as you want to create a sense of length though the torso. Add extra inches but blousing over your waistband.

See my previous reel on the art of distraction and put print/colour etc on your lower half to draw the eye away from your top half. Darker colours minimise while lighter ones will enlarge an area.
