Welcome to my little AFW series — all the looks I would have worn if I was attending this year.

As much as I would love to be amongst all the creativity, fashion and excitement that comes with the biggest week on the Aussie fashion calendar, this week it’s all about juggling work, school commitments and everyday life.

So instead, I’m bringing AFW to you from home — Day 1. Look 1. And exactly what I would have packed in my suitcase ✨

The 60/30/10 styling rule simplifies autumn/winter dressing by balancing colours, textures and proportions —helping outfits feel cohesive, elevated and effortlessly intentional every time.

Check out my Substack to read the breakdown of each style. X

GRWM x

The all-black uniform gets a bad wrap — here’s how to fix it — by playing with texture. Mix your finishes, lean into strong tailoring, and play with proportion. It creates and outfit that reads intentional.

These are the rules I follow every time x

Wearing an 8 in the pants, XL in the knit and large in the tee x

#LTKaustralia #LTKautumn #LTKwinter

Sometimes (or my case most of the time) inspiration hits and you just have to have it! @elle_ferguson AFW look stopped me in my tracks — this skirt, these heels, the whole thing. So obviously both are now mine.

Here’s how I’m styling them for my day-to-day rotation x

Wearing an 8 in the skirt and 10 in the tee. I downsized in the shoes. Wearing a 12 in the cropped trench. Medium in the long trench.

Sharing with you my top favourites in @Zara latest drop. So many goodies — don’t sleep on these, they will sell out quickly!

#LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip #LTKwinter

A look I loved last week and forgot to post so here it is for the grid. Classic and comfortable.

This sweater has now sold out but have linked below alternatives that will work just as well with these pants x

#LTKaustralia #LTKwinter #LTKautumn

Another @Zara collection for you — trying to find that nice top to add to the wardrobe to wear not only throughout the day but for those last minute dinner invites!

I am still undecided on what I keep or return. Which pieces are you loving?

#LTKaustralia #LTKautumn #LTKwinter

Date lunch in the drizzly damp rain calls for moody tones and leather. @DECJUBA new leather creation is one not to be missed. It’s stunning and so wearable — I can’t see this one hanging around long x

Wearing an XS/S in the jacket and 8 in the top and pants. All linked and ready to shop x

Cold-weather walks shouldn't mean giving up on looking good — here's the 3-piece formula keeping me cosy this season 🥶

Morning walks are non-negotiable for me, but the temp drop means it's time to rebuild the activewear rotation. My @lululemonausnz winter edit:

→ Thermal tights (the game changer)

→ A proper mid-layer that actually keeps you warm

→ The hero outerwear piece that pulls the whole look together

Functional, flattering, and you won't want to peel it off the second you walk through the door. Comment LINKS and I'll DM you all the details. Save this for your next activewear refresh.

Which piece are you adding first — they are all a winner in my books! 👇

Wearing a 4(AU8) in the pants, 6(AU10) in the top and a size M(AU12) in the jacket (note this is already a relaxed fit x

#LTKautumn #LTKfamily #LTKaustralia

Australian Fashion Week street style blends wearable trends with sophistication — from balloon pants to chocolate tones — showing how thoughtful styling elevates everyday autumn/winter dressing.

These are my favourite street-style outfits from this years fasion week in Sydney. X

#LTKaustralia #LTKautumn #LTKstyletip

And here we are at Day 5 of my AFW dress ups. And just like that the most anticipated week in the Australian Fashion calendar is drawing to a close. I have had so much fun sharing all my looks I would have worn featuring some of my favourite Aussie labels.

Which was your favourite look? I would love to know!

Day 3 of my AFW 2026 series 🖤

Putting the bermuda shorts I wasn't sure about to work — and I'm officially a convert. A frilled sheer top brings the flow, the trench adds structure, and a suede pointed heel finishes it off. Considered without trying too hard.

Day 3 always feels like the sweet spot of fashion week — everyone's settled into their rhythm and the street style is peaking.

Are you still undecided on the Bermuda shorts?

Weekend sport but make it chic 🖤❄️

The temp has officially dropped which means sideline style is now in full force. This COS down jacket is the hero — super warm, incredibly light, and easy to throw on over all the everyday basics.

Paired with my favourite relaxed pants, a long sleeve tee and comfy sneakers…consider me ready for whatever the weekend sport schedule throws at me. Win win 🤍

Who else was freezing on the sidelines this morning? 🥶

#LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip #LTKautumn

Modern mum style embraces confidence, individuality and practicality; mixing relaxed tailoring, feminine contrasts and elevated basics to create polished, personal outfits wearable every day.

These are the outfit formulas I've been gravitating towards lately. X

So you invested in the pants…let me show you how I have been wearing them to ensure we all get that ROI x

Wearing an XS in the pants.

#LTKaustralia #LTKautumn #LTKstyletip

The late night Zara shop got me good — such a surprise when you can’t remember exactly what you added to cart! Enjoy this one. Questionable about the Bermuda shorts - not a fan but everything else will be staying!

Wearing a small in the shorts, and blazer. Trousers a size small (swapping these out for the XS), the XS-S in the trench (the colour online says khaki - it’s a true brown IRL. The wrap cardi is S-M. X

Boot season — my favourite time of year and what makes it even better? Finding the perfect pair to add to the rotation x

I downsize in Bared boots as I have thin feet. Wearing an 8 in the skirt and XL in the cardigan.

#LTKaustralia #LTKautumn #LTKshoes

The trench coat is the ultimate in-between-season staple; lightweight, versatile and effortlessly polished, elevating everyday outfits while bridging the gap between mild layering and winter dressing.

Here are 4 trench coats worth investing in this season. I am not going to lie - I have every style!

#LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip #LTKautumn

My trusty jeans — still one of the hardest working pieces in my wardrobe. These are the perfect pair for the tall girls or for anyone wanting a jean that works effortlessly with heels. I’ve linked my favourite alternative too—just as good, just as versatile.

Paired with the knit I invested in and love just as much. Soft and simple, but the shoulder pads add just enough structure to make it feel polished and intentional. Mine is unfortunately sold out now but I have linked some great alternatives. You can even grab yourself some shoulder pads and stitch them in to ‘get the look’ — I picked up some from Amazon recently.

This is the beauty of great basics— a cardigan and jeans on paper, but with considered accessories it becomes something entirely different. Elevated, refined, and ready to take you from anywhere without missing a beat.

#LTKstyletip #LTKautumn #LTKaustralia

One to save for the days when you just need a simple outfit formula that looks like you have your life together.

My shirt, shoes and bag are all older styles but have linked alternatives. Wearing an XS in the pants
