I recently bought this bomber and have already worn it so much (also comes in an ecru colour which would be very useful as well). AND it’s almost free. Doesn’t crease. Neutral colour so it works well back to colour or neutrals. I highly recommend!!

Here’s a quick wrap up of the essential pieces you need for a work capsule wardrobe and the new bits you can add to update them. I’ve used just a simple palette of back and white which makes it easy to add and update. Working with colour can be tricker but can be more interesting. The only problem with colour is that then all the bits need to work together and sometimes that can mean a full wardrobe overall.

#LTKaustralia #LTKworkwear

Love this bag from H & M Studio. Actually I really like these collections that they do. They’re more fashion forward and better quality (and a bit pricier!). There are some other great pieces - jackets/coats etc. They always sell through pretty quickly so be swift if you like something!

#LTKOver40 #LTKspring

Sheer skirts are one of fashion's 'it' pieces. I love them with an oversized tee, shirt or knit (that sits over the bum/upper thigh area)but I thought I'd try some ways to make it work appropriate!
This one from Cos has an underskirt that covers your undies and beyond. I love this dusty blue colour which works with all the neutrals so well and they've also done a dusty pink just in the skirt that is gorgeous too.

One of fashion's newest shapes is The Bermuda and it can work from casual to work to evening depending on what you pair them with or the shape or fabric of the bermuda. A bermuda should sit around the knee and not be too narrow or too wide. For casual try a denim or cotton or linen, for work try a lightweight wool or even leather and for evening use any of the above but make sure your other pieces 'speak' evening like a sparkly earring or evening bag or embellished top.
See below for exact or similar to what's in the reel.

Fitting Room Look of the Day

This Baggy Curve Jean is available in 2 shades of blue denim and black/grey denim and white white (I love a white Jean!!). They’re a great shape and very comfortable and at this price, why not!!
From Uniqlo

If you're looking for the perfect dress for a hot weather wedding or dinner or party or just something fabulous to wear on a resort, this dress is it! It's silk and feels gorgeous to wear. From Alemais. So is the great bag however as of publishing, it's not available yet but I will update and have included some others that would also look great with it.

#LTKsummer #LTKwedding #LTKtravel

The combination of cream on cream or white on cream is always chic. This is a really great flat front wide (but not too wide) pant that suits nearly every body shape. You could wear these casually with a tee or tank or white something pretty like this linen embroidered shirt or even a silk blouse for work. These pants are in a nice floppy heavy linen that’s less inclined to crease and hangs nicely. Both from Oroton. Bag from Tod’s.

#LTKaustralia #LTKover50style

Matching sets are an easy way to dress as they take away all those morning questions such as ‘what will I wear with this top/skirt’. When you’ve more time (ie. not rushing in the morning to get dressed) you can certainly try pairing the top with something like a wide leg flat front pant (not pleats as that will interfere with the peplum) and the denim skirt will work back to anything!! Try it will a shirt tucked for work and a kitten heel, or layer an open oversized cotton shirt over a singlet with a flat thong style shoe for weekend. It’s a very light weight denim too so perfect for those hotter days! From Cos.

#LTKsummer #LTKaustralia

So on a complete whim (ie.was on sale), I bought this 'statement' resin coral necklace. I seldom wear anything
'bold' like this and it's been sitting on my dresser for months and I really didn't know what to do with it...with a summery resort piece it's too obvious and since I was looking at it nearly everyday I realised that it needed to be used conversely - not with a summery piece (way too obvious and normal) but with a deep charcoal knit (which I didn't have and had to find). So here it is, finally worn. I like juxtapositions in fashion and this does that for me. All the greys and the bone macintosh tone down the red and 'resortness' of the necklace and it feels more modern!
Here are a few similar pieces to get my look!

#LTKaustralia #LTKspring

Two of my more recent acquisitions..this fab (well I think it is!) jacket from @camillaandmarc - I like the oversized-ness of it and especially like the underside of the collar in contrast grey felt (it’s all in the details!!). It has grey and blue in the stripe so I can wear it back to either grey or blue denim and here I’m wearing with @sportscraft Pippa Barrel jeans. The oversized style of the jacket also allows for me to wear thicker knits which is a massive bonus with this cold snap!

I have found the new perfect basic sneaker!! It’s always hard finding the right tone of white (not too yellow, not a stark white) AND most importantly it not having a black sole which can really throw an outfit if you’re not wearing any black when the rest of your look is predominantly neutral or a colour. These are the Puma Speedcat in Alpine Snow.
If you don’t already have a basic/neitral sneakers, get your hands on a pair of these!

#LTKshoes #LTKaustralia #LTKwinter

I was wasting time yesterday scrolling on varies websites and came upon this jacket which is slightly similar to one I got at Uniqlo a few years ago and has remained the holy grail of casual/working from home/hanging out in a weekend jackets - light, roomy, comfortable and very warm. Anyway, I ordered it assuming it wouldn’t have all those elements and I’d return it but OMG this does the very same thing! There aren’t many left (I just checked) and it also comes in cream. It looks like they have more in store so if you can’t find you size, check store availability. I’m wear size Large.

#LTKstyletip #LTKwinter #LTKaustralia

I love burnished gold in clothing and this skirt from Oroton is fabulous! Wear slightly hip slung. I’ve worn with a knit but equally you could wear with a white tee or a poplin white shirt. I’d intended to wear this with a cotton white dinner shirt I own but couldn’t find it when I was packing! I’d also love to do this for day with a sand trench over the top. These shoes I bought from Prada in 1999 and still going strong!

#LTKaustralia #LTKpartywear #LTKworkwear

I love the shape of these Citizens of Humanity jeans. They’re called the Ayla. Baggy, very comfortable and flattering! I love them in the off white but they’re also great in worn denim and worn grey. Worn here with a cotton cashmere knit- simple but chic and the small heel extends and flatters the leg line but a flat sandal or sneaker also look great with these.

#LTKaustralia #LTKAroundTheWorld

Yesterday a girl pulled over in her car and yelled out her window (much to the annoyance of the car behind her) ‘where did you get your trench’? This isn’t the first time this has happened when I’ve worn this trench. I’ve had people run down the street and grab me asking the same question. And this has happened multiple times. This trench has served me well. I’ve had it maybe 2-3 years now and I like how it can go over almost anything and I especially like how the beigy colour has a semi neutralising effect if I’m wearing lots of colour or print underneath.
What’s special about this trench? Probably the length and extra volume (I hate a ‘mean’ trench!!).

#LTKwinter #LTKaustralia #LTKtravel

This is a very nice coat. I’m currently enjoying a double breasted coat. Simple, black. Great for work or throwing over something if you’re going out at night and it’s chilly. Also love these zebra pumps. They’d be a very nice contrast with an all black look. Both from Witchery.

#LTKworkwear #LTKaustralia #LTKwinter

Good dupes spotted at the airport from Witchery. These would go with a lot of outfits and great for autumn/winter!

#LTKshoes #LTKaustralia

OOTD. I’ve linked my exact coat as well as some other great pieces from Lee Mathews (on sale now)!

#LTKaustralia

This is a great allrounder sneaker that will go with just about any colour therefore would be incredibly useful! Soon we’ll all be reaching for a closed toe as the weather starts to cool and these are a great basic to have on hand when that time comes. Other neutral/basic options are below that I would also recommend. The ones featured here are from Zara and available now!

#LTKaustralia

Each season H & M release their H & M Studio Collections. They’re always more ‘fashion’, better quality fabrics, better made and maybe slightly more expensive but still very cheap for the quality. I’ve bought quite a few Studio pieces over the years that are still get outings many years later (and comments from strangers when I walk down the street!!). Here are a few of my faves from this most recent collection.

#LTKaustralia

Love this fab barrel style Jean from Rolla’s. So versatile! I wore with a tee and flat pointy ballet for earlier in the day and for night have thrown on a (very tiny) heel, a silver bag and chunky silver earrings and black jacket.

#LTKaustralia

There are loads of weddings around this time of year and here are a couple of lovely options for wedding guests from Leo Lin. I don’t normally advocate for print and embroidery and colour except for special occasions and then I feel it can entirely warranted!

#LTKsummer #LTKwedding #LTKaustralia

I love this tone of blue in a shirt. It suits and is flattering to every skin colour. This shirt from Foemina has a nice detail through the sleeve which is an interesting point of difference.

#LTKaustralia

I love anything Dyson (how life changing are the stick vacuums??) but this Airstrait is so fabulous. I go from wet to salon polished dry in under 10 minutes and always get very kind comments from people. If you don’t have one of these and like super polished straight hair then this is the product for you! Request it for Xmas (group present from friends or family??)

#LTKaustralia #LTKbeauty #LTKgiftguide

I’m putting together some gift idea based on specifically what I would like for Xmas (kids this means you!!) but also like minded people or for people who probably don’t really need anything but would a beautiful something to delight them either in the home or to wear! I’ve made no secret of the fact that I LOVE everything Oroton do and here are a few of my fave picks!

#LTKgiftguide #LTKaustralia

I’ve always loved batik. Early days of going to Bali and searching out beautiful pieces of fabric (we’re talking the 80’s and it was the real deal) and a fabulous Yohji outfit I bought wore and loved. Now you can get it from Morrison here in a fine linen. Nice paired back with tailoring too and you could try the shirt with a plain bottom rather than head to toe print if that’s too much print for you!

#LTKaustralia

I love elastic waists! Mostly for the comfort factor (and extra cool with slits up both sides). This combo of the linen skirt and shirt is simple but chic. Both from Sportscraft. Also comes in white!

#LTKover50style #LTKaustralia

I love everything that Oroton do right now. This silk dress does casual with a flat and party with a heel. The flower beading is a gorgeous touch.

#LTKpartywear #LTKaustralia

This whole outfit is from Oroton’s new essentials line. The chinos come in a few different colours and they’re the perfect light weight poplin for summer. I love this shirt with contrast white on the cuff. #oroton #springbasics

#LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip

You’ll always need great white shirts - basic long sleeve, short sleeved, oversized, tuxedo and maybe something a bit different like this tie necked cotton shirt from Cos. Perfect to wear casually and would also be great worn with a tailored pant for work and a sparkly earrings for evening!

#LTKsummer #LTKaustralia

I love using colour in new ways. One of my new favourite colours is burgundy. It works with loads of colours - corals, pinks, lemon and here I’ve paired it with this bright cornflower blue cotton shirt. I also enjoy using my jackets and coats as an accessory by tying them around my waist or shoulders.

#LTKaustralia

I’m obsessed with the bag from Oroton. It’s such a great size. It will fit your computer and everything a girl might need on a workday. It’s lovely weather, beautifully made and the internals are practically designed to fit everything in its organised spot. It comes in this lovely smooth leather and an equally lovely pebbles texture. This bag is a must have!!

#LTKaustralia

It’s that time of year where you might be looking for something to wear to the races or have an upcoming wedding or event. Leo Lin is a great place to start your search. They have a really good range of shapes that suit all different body types and lots of fun prints, colours and laces perfect for all the festive occasions! Check out some of my selects here!
