Hi friends! Here’s my PSA for you: try something new! Yesterday I completed my first ever embroidery project! It was so much fun and I learned a lot and am ready to start on my next one! I definitely need practice on my French knots but hey, that’s okay because we all
start somewhere. I’m so proud I finished this piece and enjoyed the instant gratification each stitch offers as you work on and complete your embroidery project. I highly recommend embroidery as it’s relaxing, keeps you in the moment and gives you a beautiful art piece in the end. #embroidery #lcmlifestyle #creativeoutlet

These are the best sheets! My husband + I are hot sleepers and these keep us cool, comfortable and happy all night. We were due for new sheets so this is our second set and I am completely phasing out the other sheets we were sleeping on! You owe it to yourself to create a bed you get good sleep in - no one is gonna do it for you. Good sheets are a form of self care. Good sleep makes life so much better!

I’ve never had an orchid re-bloom with 3 stalks at once, ever! I think the fertilizer below is a big part of this gorgeous outcome - the health of the leaves and the multiple stalks and blooms. I use it on all my flowering plants and truly, it has made an enormous impact on the number of blooms, their size and their longevity before dropping off. You can check out my instagram @lcmlifestyle to see more of my flowers! #lcmlifestyle #houseplants #orchids #interiordesign

Enjoyed a wonderful day - did some online work, planted some begonia tubers and freesia bulbs , and read Bergdorf Blondes, a hilarious book by Plum Sykes. I read it when it came out in 2014 but after reading a lot of serious books of late, I was all in on the LOL characters, scenarios and overall wild scenes in this book! It’s perfect for the fashion + beauty lovers and you’ll look for moments to steal away and read even a few pages at a time!
I adore this sweatshirt. One of the first times stripes have ever worked for me - who knew? It’s sold out but I linked the same style in another striped colorway. I decided on a big, full on cheek today - it is birthday week after all - and I linked today’s makeup picks for you below. Heading out for dinner so I’ll top up my lip color and off we go...

A cozy spot in our living room. I love a good candle or room spray. And of course flowers and greenery from our yard are always in the mix… and I love a stemless wine glass as a petite bouquet vase.

Here’s an important tip, my friends: if you already know you love it, buy more colors! This cashmere cardigan is great quality, is a year round style winner and will last forever. So many great colors to choose from ~ neutrals to brights. Check ‘em out! I wear these on the daily! Hope your day is swell. Thanks for being here with me! #lcmlfestyle #cashmerecardigan #candycrush #jeweltones

Adore these pops of color with the rich blue sweater and my Mum’s vintage pink Chanel handbag. These jeans are THE BEST. They are so soft and comfortable! For the longest time I’ve hated the feel of mid rise jeans but these are so soft and move with you and are SO FLATTERING!!! Trust me, worth the price. If you wear jeans almost every day like I do it makes sense to spend a huge part of your wardrobe budget on the most comfortable and best fitting jeans for your lifestyle and body type. I’m a complete convert to these! I wanted to also say the highlighter pictured here is from Katie Jane Hughes, a British makeup artist and it’s really swell and I highly recommend you look her up. She has a lot of great makeup tutorials on social media and she really LOVES BLUSH!!! #lcmlfestyle #brightblue #pink #missdior

Cobalt + plaid + classic denim = a forever formula!

This vibrant blue cardigan instantly brightens up a rich brown plaid coat, and I love how the dark chocolate flats ground the whole look. Easy, pulled together, and perfect for now, into early spring. #lcmlifestyle #plaid #cashmerecardigan

BONUS look #4 with the cropped trench!

Here’s the cropped trench styled on — and I love how polished it feels without being fussy. The slightly boxy cut hits at just the right spot with straight-leg denim, and the warm camel tone pairs beautifully with classic neutrals. I kept it simple with a navy bodysuit underneath and finished it with low block heels + a navy suede bag.

It’s that easy, pulled-together layer you’ll reach for on repeat this season!

Look #3 of 3 💙

For the final styling of this cropped trench, I leaned into rich color and feminine detail. The deep navy layered over a berry floral dress feels polished but still playful — especially paired with sleek navy boots and mixed-metal jewelry for a modern touch.

This jacket truly works with everything — denim, dresses, neutrals, color — which is exactly why it’s such a smart closet addition.

Look #2 of 3: effortless + polished 🤍

This cropped trench jacket is proving to be the ultimate layering piece. I styled it here with a sleek black leather front bodysuit, classic straight-leg denim, and warm camel accessories for that timeless, pulled-together feel. The mix of structured + simple makes it perfect for lunch meetings, errands, or an easy dinner out.

She’s chic without trying too hard — exactly how I like it.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKSaleAlert #LTKOver40

Look 1 of 3 🤍

Starting with a forever favorite: a navy jacket styled the polished, everyday way. Paired with a crisp white tee, fluid navy trousers, rich chocolate knit, and burgundy brown bag for that quietly elevated contrast.

Classic. Layered. Effortless.
This is how I build outfits that feel pulled together without trying too hard.
