COS new arrivals are looking very good right now. One of their best drops in a while - lighter, fresher and full of pieces that feel really wearable.

I’ve linked my favourite pieces below, including the berry blouse, barrel leg pants, technical parka and modern white shirt.

Sizing details: most of these pieces are a relaxed fit. I’ve taken my usual size, as I like that easy COS fit. I’m a size 10 for reference.

The parka is more oversized, so I’d size down in this one.

What I’m wearing lately✨

I’ve listed everything below that’s still current or similar.

#LTKover40 #LTKU #LTKaustralia

Bored of winter dressing? Same.

Here’s a simple spotlight outfit to freshen things up — off-white barrel legs, a soft mint knit, chunky cool sneakers and the kind of bag that makes everything feel pulled together.

Medium or size 10 in Assembly Label knit. Medium in UNIQLO.

#LTKover50style #LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip

Navy is having a serious moment in my wardrobe.

Softer than black, easy to pair with browns and neutrals, and so chic worn tonal.

My favourite pieces below. I wear a Medium/large in UNIQLO, Size 10 in Assembly Label or Medium. Size AU 10 in COS (cords are lovely) Medium in ARKET. DM me with any questions.

My knitwear picks are below — the pieces I’d actually spend my money on.

I generally shop UNIQLO, Assembly Label, ARKET and sometimes COS. I want quality, value and style without paying silly prices.

Neutrals will always work hardest in your wardrobe, but one pop of colour is always a good idea. The ARKET sweatshirt has just been restocked and is sooo good. Don’t miss out.

Sizing: I usually wear a Medium in UNIQLO, Assembly Label and ARKET. In COS, I’m usually a Small or Medium xx

What’s caught my eye this week.

The polo knot is gorgeous, a real statement piece. Jacket and jeans both ZARA. I am a AU 10, 165cm. I wear size LARGE in jacket (better oversized) and a 38 in jeans but size up if you want them more slouchy.

#LTKaustralia #LTKover50style #LTKstyletip

ZARA new jeans try-on.

I’m 165cm and normally a AU/UK 10. I always wear a size 38 in ZARA jeans. First pair (relaxed turn up hem) were great but second pair (relaxed mid rise) I could have sized up
For a more relaxed look. Culottes were firm but had good stretch so they would loosen up.

DM me if you need more info xx

#LTKaustralia #LTKover50style #LTKstyletip

Assembly Label flash sale is on until Sunday and I’ve pulled together my edit for you below.

These are the pieces I genuinely rate from Assembly - easy basics, great cuts, beautiful tones and the kind of pieces that work hard in a wardrobe.

My sizing tips: I’m an AU 10 and generally stick to my usual size. I wear a Small in the coats, and a size 10 in knitwear, t-shirts and shirts.

I’m always on the lookout for shirts with a little something extra… and yes, I may have bought it in white and chocolate too.

Little gems to brighten up your wardrobe and add personality ✨

Sale time is my favourite time to hunt designer online stores for the pieces that make simple outfits feel special — a great tote, bold sunglasses, interesting shoes or a beautiful blouse.

I wear a Small in the pants, but could also wear a Medium for an even more oversized, slouchy fit.
I wear a Small or Medium in the long sleeve tee.
I wear a size 8 in the coat.

What sneakers did I finally settle on?

These New Balance 204L in mushroom. So comfortable, light and work with everything. A nice cross between sleek & chunky. Be quick xx

Of all the stores I’ve shopped while I’ve been away, ARKET has delighted me the most. The designs, the cuts, the fabrics and the value… I’ve bought more from here than anywhere else. Here’s my edit 🤍

I wear a Small or Medium in shirts and tops … oversized. A size UK 10/EU38 in bottoms.

Online is quick and safe.

COS blazers are the best and the best time to buy is when they are on sale.

I wear a AU 8 or 10 (they are oversized). I am 165cm.

#LTKaustralia #LTKover50style #LTKsale

These are without doubt the pieces that got the most wear on my Europe trip. Comfortable, versatile and easy to mix and match — exactly what I want from a travel wardrobe.

For sizing, I wear a Medium or Large in Uniqlo, a Medium or AU10 in Assembly Label, and I'm 165cm tall.

DM me if you'd like more details on any of the pieces and I'll happily help. 🤍

#LTKover50style #LTKtravel #LTKaustralia

High quality pieces I’ve worn on repeat.

I always wear a Medium or UK10
In Arket. I’m 165cm. The sweat is oversized and I like shorts a little slouchy. They are a great length on me. I totally recommend quality + value. The top comes in a variety of colours and long-sleeve versions.

The online site is easy to navigate, just change view to AUSTRALIA. The Iconic also has a few pieces but not these unfortunately. The online store in secure and quick delivery. DM me if you have questions about quality or sizing.

Uncomplicated travel outfits are what I’m about these days. Wandering in Cornwall today.

The best car coat/trench. Laid back vibes. Oversized fit. Great value. New now.

Barcelona try on but make it wearable for real life.
Massimo Dutti has nailed the season … light layers, buttery suede, beautiful balloon pants and those elevated pieces that work all year in Australia.

I wear a UK 10 in everything for size reference.

Ordering from Australia is easy, when you go into website just switch location to Australia.
