These jackets stopped me & made me smile. Both jackets are Barbour & really embrace the heritage, traditional side of the brand but have that element of being different & pushing the boundaries. I love this look but what do you think?

Every woman needs a white shirt.

I saw this one in Theory on Tuesday, it’s beautiful & says alot without you doing much. It’ll sit perfectly on a waistband, no need for tucking & the ruched sleeve will show off your wrists perfectly.

Made from ‘Good Cotton’

Comment SHIRT in the comments & I’ll send you the link to purchase.

My guilty pleasure is coats!

Some are just too hard to resist, but I asked myself these questions before pressing ‘add to basket & checkout’?

✨ Is it lighter weight than my others?

✨ What will it go with in my wardrobe?

✨ Will it transition into Spring / Summer

✨ Will I actually wear it?

So, it was a no brainer & I’ve already planned its first outing.

A check trouser is a great way to add colours into your outfit, in this outfit I’ve added in a blue knit, a similar colour to the blue that runs through the trouser, a coat & accessories.

Back into London again…..

It’s so nice to see new collections & I wanted to show you both COS & Barbour….both different to each other but in some way aligned as they can both be edgy with their style lines.

The store that just makes you smile from ear to ear.
Oliver Bonas is superb for knits, dresses, gorgeous homeware but mainly for the just beautiful colours you can add into your wardrobe.

Start basic & build up

The secret to elevating a basic outfit is to add extra items to it that always look like they belong together & create a visual experience for those seeing it.

In this outfit I started with a pair of wide leg jeans & a knit which in itself looks ok but we don’t want just ok, we want to feel great in our outfits.

Accessories will always add interest & tone, you then then layer up fabrics, textures & other items you love.

But you must always be true to your style identity, if you’re feeling a little lost right now, start basic & add pieces in that bring you joy & give you confidence.

If you’d like a link for the items I used to create this look, comment ‘Outfit’ & I’ll send you the link.

Fabulous knit, perfect to help the transition from Winter to Spring

At networking events, your outfit speaks before you do.
It signals confidence, credibility and intention, long before the introductions start.

You don’t need to be the loudest in the room.
You need to be clear.

Your outfit is your business card.
The question is… what does yours say about you?

If getting dressed for events feels stressful or last-minute, that’s usually a clarity issue not a confidence one.

✨ Dress with intention.
✨ Arrive already aligned.
✨ Be remembered for the right reasons.

Hope this helps x

Denim's here to stay for 2026...here's an outfit for you.

If you're shopping in the sales & fancy a dark denim skirt, it'll be a great investment piece as you're going to see more of them around.

Enjoy x

I found this for you.

After 7 days inside because of the virus I was excited to see ‘newness’ in the stores.

It’s still chilly so layering will be your best friend, how gorgeous is this cardi I found in Oliver Bonas?

Cardi’s are the perfect layering item.

Fancy a grey trouser?

Here’s an outfit idea;

✨ Grey trousers
✨ Khaki glitter knit
✨ Leather blazer
✨ Patent bag
✨ Animal print belt
✨ Checked scarf

All items M & S. Instore now

All you need is 1 item

This outfit is perfect for every day & yes, you could wear it to town, shopping, lunch with friends.

Personally I’d add a deeper washed jean to allow the shirt to really pop & let them compliment the deeper tones & sequins in the jacket.

You could also add a boot, heel or a silver trainer

Quick swap….day to evening outfits

Rushing from a day working to an evening event at this time of year can be stressful, here’s a simple outfit change;

1. Swap the shirt for sparkly top
2. Change the shoes for a heeled sling back

How easy is this?

#thepocketstylist #personalstylist #personalstyling #stylist

Elevate your jeans for a striking outfit.

Yes, a pair of jeans can look fabulous for an evening out with friends, it may be a quick catch up in the local pub or even a trip to the theatre, but you'll look festive and put together, you'll of dressed with intention.

The 'off the shoulder' top just takes the outfit to the next level.

The outer layer is the first impression, this is the moment to bring in a fabulous coat - wool, faux fur, leather, checked.

Jumpsuits are super stylish….

I know if you need to use the ladies they can be a bit of a pain but if you can get past that, then the jumpsuit is a really super stylish garment.

You can dress them up or down, day or night

There’s alot around this season too so do give one a try.

#thepocketstylist #personalstylist #personalstyling #stylist #jumpsuits

I’ve worn these gold trainers a lot and for good reason.

They go with everything, make any outfit feel pulled together, and still let me run around all day with clients.

Today’s outfit started with them… and the rest fell into place.

Do you build your look from the shoes up?

Keeping style simple for a Sunday

For me Sunday is about relaxing & enjoying the day so it’s really important to feel great in what you’re wearing.

Are you with me on this?

#thepocketstylist #personalstylist #personalstyling #stylist #personalshopping

I don’t always want to wear jeans!!!

I popped into town to pick up my engagement ring & as a personal stylist I just wanted simple, easy to wear & comfy.

Will you give something like this a go?

#thepocketstylist #personalstylist #personalstyling #personalshopper #stylist #style

“I can’t pull an outfit together”

“I don’t know what goes with what”

“I struggle with the best shoes to wear”

“Do I tuck or not?”

These are some of the statements & questions I hear from clients, to be honest style is suppose to be fun not hard work.

Here’s my top 5 tips which you can adapt to suit you but I would recommend you just try to piece it together, you’ll know when it feels right

#thepocketstylist #personalstylist #personalstyling #stylist #style #personalshopping #outfitideas

Haver you created your own school uniform?

If you're trying to get kids to school the mornings can be super busy so I completely understand it's easy to just throw on your leggings and a sweatshirt but you can start to feel bored & that you're wearing the same outfits.

Here's a really easy outfit for you to recreate, it's still based around a pair of leggings!

Hope you like it

The Super Elegant Tux

There's alot of the tux look floating around for this event season, the tux looks so elegant & sophisticated, yes, it can look masculine but you can soften it with accessories & your shoes.

It's really easy to take you from office to event should the need arise, all you have to do is wear the trousers all day with a different knit or jacket then swap to the matching jacket for the evening.

What do you think?

Perfect for a 4 hour Personal Shop.

I had to give my new Anthropologie trousers an outing & I knew they be great as so comfy.

I do love a shirt so thought this one would work well, it’d elevate the trousers & hold trainers.

My accessory today was the umbrella as it’s rained all day, hair does not resemble what it did at 8 am!!!

Networking style with a twist.

The key to a great networking outfit? Balance.

✨ Denim = approachable
✨ Leather = confident
✨ Glitter socks = memorable

It’s all about showing up as you, with polish and personality.

#thepocketstylist #networkingstyle #smartcasual

5ft2 & under, these are for you.

These culottes in Anthropologie are not only the most comfortable pair of trousers I’ve tried on in months but they are a perfect full length trouser if you’re petite (short) like me.
I know many of you struggle to find the right length.

These are also a super look for the Autumn if you want to wear them as a culotte length if you’re taller.

£90.00 in store or there’s a 10% discount if you buy online & postage was free.

Building an outfit doesn’t have to be hard.

Think of creating a look like making a cake, think of the ingredients you need & how they all go together, as a personal stylist this is how I create outfits.

This outfit is just 3 items with a bag & shoes to finish it off.

#thepocketstylist #personalstylist #personalstyling #personalshopper #personalbranding #style #stylist

This season’s tones are all about warmth, depth and transition, just like nature.

Think rich olives, warm berries, and soft neutrals that bring your wardrobe to life again.

✨ What colour are you stepping into this season?

#thepocketstylist #personalstylist #personalstyling #personalshopper #style #fashion #stylist

Style at M & S, just WOW!

If you’re looking for Autumnal style inspiration pop into M & S where you’ll be met by colours, print, textures & new garment styles that will instantly elevate your wardrobe.

As a Personal Stylist it’s lovely to see how the high street stores are interpreting their collections for their customers.

M & S still carries great basics, lovely knitwear that will compliment all wardrobe, great size ranges & lengths too so drop in, be inspired & maybe try something a little different too…..this is where styling magic happens.

#thepocketstylist #personalstylist #personalstyling #personalshopper #style #stylist #fashion

Denim doesn't have to be jeans!

I found this super A line Denim skirt & have created a weekend outfit for you, the colours all go together so well & I really like how we have so many textures this season to play with.

I see them, you might not of!

As a Personal Stylist I’m lucky to spend time in the shops during my pre-shopping & personal shopping consultations, it’s these times I see different brands which I know you’ll love.

Don’t be afraid to try new brands, new styles & new colours, this is really where the magic happens & your unique personal style comes alive.

I’ve got my eye on that coat ❤️

1 pair of trousers = 3 outfits but there could of been so many more.

This medium brown pair of trousers will be a great asset to any wardrobe this season, it works well with other colours to create different outfit looks.

Dress them up or down, work or play, day or night

These outfits were created using items I already own in my wardrobe so I knew when I bought them that the number of outfits will be endless.

What’s your favourite outfit looks?

Weekends aren't just for throwing anything on because you're at home!

Grey jeans are the new blue this season, they work really well with so many different colours.

I've create you an outfit with different tones & textures to show you how easy it is to pull together & look super stylish. Always think about how an outfit can be broke down to make more outfits just by swapping a couple of items.

And don't forget your accessories to complete the look.
