Carmenandmegstyle on LTK

Jeans and denim are such an essential part of your wardrobe (well mine anyway) so it only makes sense to invest in the right pieces. These jeans from Scanlan Theodore are my top pick. They are a reasonable denim price point so the $$ per wear is worth it. Mine are over a year old and still my fav I reach for daily. I also have them in light blue, indigo and white (yes, quite the collection). They elongate the leg and are perfect for the tall girlies — or if you need to hem, they already have just an overlocked edge so super easy to alter. Wearing a 26 in these ones and normally am an 8.

I am now a red girly — full convert.

If you asked me a month ago how I was stying red this season — my answer would have been ‘accessories only’ but as I have dabbled, one-by-one, pieces of red are now taking over my wardrobe and I am 100% here for it. My only rule is that you will never see me wearing black with red (just a personal rule but one I follow). Red for me pairs perfectly with this seasons navy, camels/beige and of course denim.

How are you wearing your reds this season?

All my favourite VRG GRL looks currently on high rotation x

#LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip #LTKautumn

The unexpected pieces I’ve been loving lately from @lululemonausnz… the accessories.

I picked up these mules recently and loved the design straight away — the perfect transitional shoe as we head into cooler weather. Add a sock as the weather cools and you’re good to go. And this crochet tote? Originally purchased for upcoming holidays but I’ve already been using it nonstop. Fully lined, pockets, and effortlessly chic… what’s not to love.

I’m a firm believer the right accessories can make or break a look, and these are definitely on repeat right now.

#LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip #LTKautumn

The simplest formula I keep coming back to — a tank, a blazer, and either satin pants or your favourite denim. Easy, effortless, and always put together.

It’s proof that you don’t need more, you just need the right pieces. Elevated with accessories, a great shoe, and you’ve instantly transformed the look.

These are the kind of wardrobe essentials that do all the heavy lifting for you… on repeat.

With the weather still holding onto those warm days, shorts are definitely still on rotation. I couldn’t wait to add this VRG GRL set to the collection — easy, effortless and perfect for weekends.

Layered with a denim jacket for those beautiful cool mornings, and I already know this one will be making its way into my holiday capsule wardrobe too. Simple pieces that just work. ✨

The Leather Bomber

No I wasn’t a fan — but now I am sold. Thank you to the beautiful @sunshineforlaeti for inspiring me to embrace the leather jacket. I can’t wait to share all my leather jacket looks — maybe I should make a series? I mean, we all want to get the most wear out of our investment don’t we?

Wearing a small in the jacket (perfect fit), XS in the pants (usually an 8) and small in the top. Shoes are true to size but on the thinner side, so size up if need be. X

#LTKautumn #LTKstyletip #LTKaustralia

The red pants. Zero apologies — it’s the pop of colour your wardrobe needs right now!

Wearing a size 10 in the dress and 8 in the pants. X

#LTKaustralia #LTKdresses #LTKautumn

Just waiting for the temp to drop so I can head out in this look — and having a little play with these boots. They’re the missing link in my wardrobe. I am a firm believer that a shoe can make or break an outfit and these boots are making all my AW looks. Finish the look with a leather or suede bomber or even a relaxed denim jacket.

The Autumn Edit

Here are six looks I will be repeating this AW. Think elevated staples with personality: rich textures, modern proportions and a little pop of colour to keep things feeling fresh.

Pieces linked are either those already in my wardrobe, currently purchased for AW or on my wishlist x

Decjuba Denim just hits differently. Maybe it’s the quality, maybe it’s the price point — either way their new denim collection is perfection. I mean balloon denim — who would have thought!!

Did I mention I am slightly obsessed with lace? Well, I am and I mean lace and balloon pants — it’s my heaven.

If you have seen me around town, you most likely have seen me with these on repeat. Firstly, this choc colourway is perfection and secondly the built in shorts just make them so easy to wear and slightly more appropriate for certain activities, ie, bending over for kids without your underwear on full view!

Lace is here to stay in my wardrobe and it’s perfect for this never ending heat. Can’t wait to show you how I will be taking these pieces into the cooler months.

Effortless but elevated 🤍

The new Easy Five Low-Rise Wide-Leg Pants from @lululemonausnz are that everyday pair. The low-rise fit sits perfectly relaxed on the hips, while the wide leg gives that easy, laid-back drape without losing shape. They are lightweight, buttery-soft, and breathable with just the right amount of flow.

Made for coffee runs, work days, and everything in between.

#LTKdatenight #LTKFashionMonth #LTKaustralia

My @targetaus new season work edit has arrived - lets have a play 🤍
First up, are these incredibly comfy barrel pleat pants — they pair perfectly with their Aus cotton seam shirt in this beautiful dusty blue — simple, polished and just a little different. (It also comes in white if blue isn’t your colour.)

Of course I included another barrel style — this Harper denim pair is ideal with winter boots and looks so chic styled with the Lily Loves chocolate oversized blazer. The drape on this blazer is stunning, and adding a silk scarf instantly elevates the look.

And finally, the viral denim funnel neck jacket absolutely lives up to the hype. Paired with a classic black bubble skirt, it’s an effortless way to finish off your work week.

All looks are styled with Target’s new premium suede bags and shoe collection.

I highly recommend shopping online before they sell out. ✨

NOTE: Suede loafers and soft pleat pants will be online early March. Also have linked some alternative styles if you aren’t a barrel girl x
