There’s lots to love in the @Albaray sale - some pieces are less than half price xx

Look 2 large jacket, M trousers
Look 3. 12 jacket, 25/31 jeans
Look 4. Medium jumper and trousers

Lots of you asking about my necklace but I can’t link it - so I found a few necklaces similar xx

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip

Today’s look (cat optional)
I love this tee - I have it in plain colours too but I love this brown stripe. The fabric and sleeve length are so good and these poplin trousers are really comfy and come in other colours x
I wear a small in both x

Playing around with ways to wear is a great way to get the best use from your wardrobe.

I discovered this shirt in the men’s section and it’s become a firm favourite with lots of options.

Untucked, open, knotted or tied this shirt is a lovely way to nail that masculine/feminine feel.

It’s a slim fit so it has shape and can be worn loads of ways - plus it’s long enough to double as a beach cover up 👌🏻

The curve jeans are my most worn - the shape is excellent and the denim is really soft and fluid.

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

Your chicest summer awaits with these beautiful pieces from Massimo Dutti x

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

A simple summer look. The boat neck top is a lovely update to elevate a simple basic.

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

I love these pieces together. The mix of texture works really well.
The trousers are OOS online in black but also come in white, coral and taupe. The asymmetry of this knit is great for adding shape and interest.
I wear a M in both x

The navy trousers you all loved are back in stock!!
These were so popular last week and many of you missed out but I promised to let you know when they came back.
The best summer trousers - relaxed, easy to wear and style and really light. I wear a medium for a relaxed fit. I’m 5’7 x

#LTKsummer #LTKover50style #LTKstyletip

When you look good, you feel good - and when you feel good you feel confident.
Comfort and ease are so important when it comes to feeling good. If you’re constantly adjusting or thinking about your clothes they aren’t doing their job.
Flowing fabrics that fit and flatter make all the difference and this outfit is the best of both.
Linen blend, soft and light - it’s the effortless looks that will give you the biggest reward xx

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

The perfect look for a warm but blowy day. This jacket is so good. It has a crinkled texture which doesn’t crease and a high neck option that doesn’t make you feel trapped. I’ve added brown tones for warmth and a woven bag for texture.

I love a jeans and flip flops look so this request for summer styling with jeans made me very happy.

A cropped style is always great for summer - and ideal for showing off colourful sandals.
An open, cotton knit gives you a relaxed feel while still feeling summery. Add simple, colourful jewellery and a basket and you have an easy look you can adapt to suit your wardrobe.

These jeans are my favourite crop style and are back in stock in all sizes 🥳. I wear a 10 short for this cropped length.

A few gems I’ve found while browsing.
I definitely have my eye on several of these!

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

A few of my recent looks. Lots to mix and match as always.
Summer styling is made easier when you buy with your existing wardrobe in mind. Make sure new pieces work with old, you can think of different ways to wear and at least 3 places you’d wear it.
Avoid too many details to keep it versatile and always remember it has to fit in with your real life - not your fantasy life!

Here’s my weekly edit of what I’m recommending at Zara. Key seasonal colours, summer essentials and gorgeous knits. I hope you like it xx

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

My look in London yesterday. Grey ,black and white is such an easy combo to highlight a pop of red x

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

This beautiful dress has a flattering sleeve length and the tie detail gives you shape while disguising the tummy area 🤎🤎

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

A lack of confidence and the body changes we experience in our 50s are common and can really challenge our sense of who we are.
I recommend taking it back to some basics.

1. Choosing good fabrics. Breathable items that don’t cling and won’t turn you into a walking furnace.
2. Ignore the label. Choose the piece that fits and prioritise looks that give you ease and comfort.
3. Think before you buy. Does it work with what you already have? A wardrobe of well chosen pieces that complement each other and genuinely work with your lifestyle is worth much more than one with dozens of one trick ponies and too many trends.

Keep it simple, keep it comfy, keep it you x
