Beach dressing :
Everything you need for a beach holiday
From luxe to less!

#LTKstyletip #LTKaustralia #LTKsummer

Relaxed party dressing . It’s about being chic, slightly dressed up but looking effortless. Feeling relaxed. You don’t want to look too overdressed or too try hard !
This is not black tie but it’s not beach dressing either. It might be drinks, BBQ, dinner or a New Year’s party .

The secret :  Table top dressing. Which is how you dress from the waist up. You want the attention and focus on top of the body (everything else is hidden under the table!) 
Which is why I nabbed this fabulous Marant Etoile silver top from @netaporter (It’s on sale and I could not resist. )

Yes, it’s very dramatic with those huge shoulders (!) and the glamorous shimmery fabric BUT the shape is actually really just a relaxed simple tee shirt.
Because when you have rich luxe fabrics you don’t need frills, flounces or anything too tricky in the design. Keep it simple so there is only one element that is getting all the attention.

The trick with any sparkly statement top?  Dress it down with casual low key pants !
I’m talking jeans, cotton chinos or slouchy pants. Think contrasts. It’s the DNA of effortless chic: tough with pretty, casual and dressy, with soft and hard. It’s the modern chic way to dress don’t you think?

So I decided to style this fabulous silver top @netaporter with white grey jeans. Then with grey jeans . I couldn’t decide!

Which one do you guys like ? Let me know !
 Remember go for a baggy style slouchy jean then add black classic heels & a YSL clutch. Easy !

The good news : there are so many great party pieces right now @netaporter ( lots on sale!) so I have done all the hard work for you pulled together all my favorites from luxe to less.

A question I am often asked: What are good travel pants? Also what to wear on the plane? Also Help , I am going overseas what to pack ?

Everybody stop looking ! I have found the best travel outfit & it’s all from @lululemonausnz (including bag and sneakers).

Let’s start with this sensational grey jacket . Love and adore a balloon sleeve. Totally day to evening. The fabric is very glamorous almost silky. Especially in sophisticated grey. (Big colour for next season too!)

Going out to a gallery, lunch or maybe dinner ? Toss it on over a cashmere knit with black pleather pants or skirt with heels and a clutch.

It’s THE perfect travel jacket: It has a zippered pocket with a hidden phone sleeve (YES!). Water resistant it has a sneaky hood that sits inside the collar. And the waist cinches in so you can create shape when you need to.

Please nab these fabulous @lululemonausnz black pants!  Super chic & so damn soft & comfortable you won’t want to take them off. (you won’t if you’re on a 24 hour flight !)  Side pockets : Yes ! Elastic waistband : Yes ! Breathable : Yes ! Machine washable : Yes !
 I am obsessed with this black travel bag quite incredible for the price ($189!!)( whaaaat?) Love the clever exterior sleeve that sits over your carryon trolly handles. Yes ! It has a removable, adjustable shoulder strap & a sneaky top quick-access phone pocket .

Now grab an extended shoulder white tee, some sneakers and a belt bag ( ordered this in grey to match my lewk) Essential for travel. But you know that !

Skirts !

It’s the season for skirts .
Perfect for summer : it’s easy, simple dressing.

One of my favorite skirts is this white denim skirt from @cosstores_au last year. Love it. The white denim means it’s as casual as jeans but the shape is as effortless as a dress. Toss a utility vest over a white tee, pull on white strappy heels and you’re good to go !

As you can see (Swipez vous 👉) I have a bit of a skirt uniform . (Why not ? It means you know your own style! )

It’s pretty clear I tend to gravitate to A line skirts, a shoulder pad tee and some kind of strappy ( usually white !) sandal.
All these outfits are just variations of a theme. ( some are from a few years ago)( I’ll still be wearing them again this season !)( yes, I actually WEAR my own wardrobe!)

The styling trick ?
Keep it simple !
Stick to “expensive” colours in modern shapes: we’re talking skirts that are now midi, A line wrap or pleated. A tee with big shoulders. A top with cutaway shoulders. Oversized or with a roomy cut. In black or white.
No need for crazy kooky colours or mad accessories.
Because when you update to new modern shapes the clothes do all hard work for you. They instantly look chic & effortless. You don’t need to fuss & joosh & fluff around trying to make it work. You just put on a skirt & a tee, slide into heels : done.
You’re out the door.

Let me know your favorite lewk !

Yes, I do actually wear dresses !
Obviously summer is when I reach for a dress .
Cool. Chic. Easy.
Throw it on & out the door .

When I spied this black dress @hm a few months ago I pounced on it. (And frustratingly it was not available online because I would have shared it immediately) (it’s now online in white )( be quick !)

I have a shoulder pad obsession: which is why I love this dress : an extended shoulder add drama , a fashion edge, take an average little ol shirt dress from drab to fab.

And can we talk about how it’s so voluminous !
Alot of fabric in the skirt: which is what makes it look expensive and chic.
Any exaggeration is a good thing in fashion : it gives the allure of generosity and looks like no expense spared.
(Ignore the fact that I will need to put aside two hours to iron it every time I go out !)

Styling tips:
Add white shoes , either mules or flat sandals to lighten the look ( though black, brown or silver shoes would work here too). Grab a hobo bag in black or tan & white sunglasses
Done !

Shop the look !

It’s summer. It’s party season.
Sometimes you just need a dress. A chic dress for a long lazy lunch, a relaxed dinner or for a casual Christmas Day. jooshed up, polished but low key.
A little festive but relaxed right ?

Everybody stop looking !
I’ve done the hard work for you & found 20+ fab dresses !

Here’s what you need:  A dress that is long – in a dramatic shape – over the knee or ankle length. In a fit and flare shape. One shouldered. Maybe tiered or with puff sleeves. In simple expensive colours
(The fashion edge is coming from the strong architectural shapes . )
Accessories:
You are NOT a Christmas tree: with glitter and everything going on ! Keep it simple, understated and chic. Flat sandals look totally modern. A camel /tan flat, a metallic silver /gold sandal will add a modern edge, keep it looking low key. Effortless.

Go for a small clutch or shoulder bag in metallic, black or tan. Throw on a major earring or a statement cuff. It’s as easy as that ! Shop my picks !

It’s ok to have a uniform!
I love a white tee and camel pants.
The trick is to update these key pieces into modern shapes: for example these lululemon camel pants are now wide leg with a mid to high rise & my white tee has shoulder pads and is roomy !

Same with a blazer & a black pants. Swipe 👉👉👉
Update these two classics into new shapes : these lululemon black pants are now barrel leg & look great with an oversized blazer.
