Investment dress alert 👗

I know this dress is at a higher price point but it comes with good reason. Sometimes a dress comes along that answers so many of the questions I hear from clients every single week.

✔️ Will it help create that hourglass shape? YES
✔️ Does it cover the legs? YES
✔️ Does it have sleeves? YES
✔️ Does it work on a larger bust? YES

This is one of those dresses that feels elegant, timeless and incredibly easy to wear. The shape does so much of the work for you and it ticks a lot of the boxes women tell me they're looking for. It's one you will wear again and again!

As always we have done our best to find similar alternatives at a range of price points, so hopefully there's an option for everyone.

Outfit of the evening from myself tonight...exams in my household is over - YAS!!!

"How do I dress up my cargo trousers?" 
The answer is actually very simple. 
Add some structure on top with a blazer or a funnel neck jacket, then elevate the look with a smarter shoe. I've paired mine with a comfortable wedge, but a pointed toe works beautifully too. 
Swap your basic vest top for something a little softer or silkier, add a pop of colour with your accessories, and you've instantly taken your cargo trousers from casual to polished.

Supermarket finds... my honest feedback  
Sainsbury's has really surprised me! 
The prices are incredibly good, the sizing came up true to size and there were some fantastic finds for a range of body shapes. 
In this haul, I'll share what works, who it works for and a few simple styling tips along the way.

Sunday morning OOTD from me!

OOTD the day from me today with this typical doesnt know what it's doing weather in the UK!

#LTKuk #LTKsummer #LTKstyletip

Same jumper, 3 colour ways, 3 pairs of comfy trousers.

#LTKuk #LTKsummer #LTKstyletip

🚨 You’ll NEVER guess where this jumpsuit is from... and it’s only £20! 😱

Honestly, when I spotted this one I couldn’t believe the price. It looks and feels far more expensive than it is!

One thing to note — it does come up quite long in the leg. I've had to roll mine up, so if you're taller, this could be absolutely perfect for you. 🙌

You can wear this with trainers to the airport, sandals around the shops or a little kitten heel paired with a blazer for an evening.

Would you have guessed the store? Let me know below 👇💕

5 outfits from a very typical week as a personal stylist  
From a client wardrobe re style, to shopping for YouTube, a studio day, meetings and an event in London, every day looked a little different this week.

#LTKuk #LTKstyletip #LTKsummer

I am going to an event today and I cannot decide what to wear - HELP!

#LTKuk #LTKsummer #LTKstyletip

If you're feeling very straight up and down and would love to create a little more shape, this two-piece set is a fantastic option.

The top gently defines the waist, helping to create the appearance of curves, while the lightweight fabric keeps everything feeling cool, comfortable and effortless for summer.

What I love most is the versatility. Wear the pieces together for an easy outfit that does all of the work for you, or split them up and create multiple looks from the same set.

✨ Pair the trousers with a simple white t-shirt or vest.
✨ Style the top with high-rise jeans or a flowing skirt.

#LTKuk #LTKsummer #LTKstyletip

Your favourites this week ✨

Check bomber, high neck jacket, barrel jeans, cargo trousers, v neck, linen shorts, bermuda shorts, red dress, summer dress, party wear, party dress, holiday outfits, summer outfits

#LTKuk #LTKsummer #LTKjeans

If summer ever decides to return ☀️😂, these dresses are ready and waiting!

Perfect for weddings, the races, garden parties, holidays and all those lovely occasions that pop up this time of year.

I've picked a range of colours because sometimes it's not the style that's the hardest decision... it's choosing the colour! 💙💚💗❤️🤍

So tell me... which one is your favourite? 👇

OOTD from me today!

#LTKuk #LTKover50style #LTKstyletip

This dress will be a sell out… and honestly, it's not hard to see why! 💗

The gorgeous back detail gives it that little something extra, whilst still allowing you to wear a normal bra (which we all know is a huge win 🙌).

It also comes in 5 beautiful colours, so there's an option for everyone.

What I love most about this dress is that the outfit is doing all of the work for you. The shape instantly creates balance and puts your figure back into the hourglass shape, which is why it works so well on so many women.

The £22.99 shorts that I am loving!!

I hear this all the time: "I hate shopping for dresses."

But the truth is, most women don't hate dresses… they hate trying on 20 dresses that were never right for their body shape in the first place.

Once you understand what works with your proportions and why it works, shopping becomes so much easier. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, you can walk straight past the styles that won't serve you and focus on the ones that will.

Whether you're shopping for a wedding, a cruise, the races, a holiday or a special dinner, the secret isn't finding the "perfect dress"—it's understanding your shape and creating balance.

Using our Hourglass Balancing Method®, we teach women how to choose dresses that work with their natural shape, not against it. And that's when shopping stops feeling frustrating and starts feeling enjoyable.

3 jeans. 3 different rises. 👖

One of the biggest mistakes I see women make is assuming they can only wear one type of jean.

Today I'm showing:

🤍 A mid-rise white barrel leg

✨ A high-waisted cropped wide leg

🖤 A low-rise washed black wide leg

All three create a completely different silhouette and prove that there isn't one "right" style of jean.

Remember, it's all about balance. The best jean isn't necessarily the one that's on trend – it's the one that works for your body shape, proportions and lifestyle.

Which pair would make it into your wardrobe?

OOTD for a shopping trip!

#LTKuk #LTKsummer #LTKstyletip

These trousers are one of those rare finds that tick every box ✔️

✔️ Comfortable
✔️ Affordable
✔️ Available in 4 colours
✔️ Effortlessly stylish

I absolutely love the more tapered barrel-leg shape on these. They're cool, casual and the sort of trouser that has a place in every wardrobe!

I've paired them with two different funnel neck jackets in this reel to show you how versatile they are, but honestly? They would look FAB with the Uniqlo sweatshirt that we all know and love in the studio too.

Never underestimate a good basic outfit!
