Some of my looks this week. Lots of neutrals and texture to keep things simple and comfy.

If you’d like the links to these pieces, comment SHOP and I’ll send them to you.

Neutrals don’t have to be boring. If you incorporate contrasting fabrics and add details with accessories you can have loads of looks with just a few key pieces. A metal wardrobe is the most versatile and you’ll find the more combinations you try, the more outfits you can build x

If you only buy one thing this payday make it this beautiful jumper.
The best cashmere on the high street. Great quality, good price - I’ve had mine years and I’ll be adding this chocolate version 🤎

#LTKuk #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

The new season at Uniqlo looks so good. Here are a few picks to whet your appetite x

#LTKuk #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

I’ve tried lots of balloon trousers and I’ve finally found a pair that are flattering and wearable. The fabric is a heavier crepe and they hang beautifully. I’m in a 12 regular

My new favourite relaxed look. I love a long sleeved tee and the subtle stripe and contrast collar sets this apart.

Love the shape, love the colour. I’m wearing a short length as I prefer the crop.

This jacket is the best bargain I’ve found in ages. It’s a lovely shape, goes with everything and currently half price at just £14

#LTKuk #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

This knitted vest is the solution if you don’t like the tight fit of normal vest tops. It comes in 4 gorgeous colours and at £20 looks way more expensive than it is x

My best buys in July.
As always, I’ve tried and tested lots of high street pieces this month, but only a few made it into my permanent wardrobe.

It’s a funny time of year - we’re still enjoying this beautiful weather but there are jumper and coats crushing into the shops.
I’ve chosen pieces that are great for now and will take me forward as the season changes.
Fabulous barrel jeans, the most wearable balloon trousers, the vests I’ll wear for years and the bargain jacket I’m obsessed with.

Let me know your favourite xx

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

I love pieces that work hard for you and this top will tick loads of boxes.

When it comes to selecting your wardrobe you should always think of at least 3 ways it works with what you already have, and 3 places to wear it.

This cute top is as versatile as it gets. Perfect for work, great for a nice lunch or drinks with the girls and easy to dress up for a date night.

The fabric has a lovely sheen without being shiny, the sleeve length is lovely and the collar can be work tucked back or grandad style.

It comes in 3 lovely colours. I’m wearing a medium xx

#LTKuk #LTKsummer #LTKstyletip

Relax in the new in collection @thewhitecompany.

I’m obsessed with these khakis. The perfect shape - 2 lengths and 9 colours to choose from x

#LTKuk #LTKover50style

The red funnel jacket will be a key piece next season.
Get this one before it goes! ❤️

#LTKuk #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

This week’s Zara shortlist is about wearable pieces to take you forward to late summer. Long sleeved tees are everywhere and this striped version Is so wearable and I love the contrast collar.
These linen blend trousers are the perfect travel companion - airport to city break to staycation - they’re comfy and easy to style.
This checked jacket is light enough for summer and has a lovely textured fabric. The collar is bang on trend without being too much and these jeans are the perfect option to take you into the next season in style.

OOTD. A mix of old and new but everything still available.

Beautiful organic cotton.

If you love the idea of wearing a vest in this hot weather but you hate the cling this one’s for you.

This light, cotton knitted vest is the solution. 4 beautiful colours to choose from - it looks expensive and chic - yet it’s only £20.

It skims over you, rather than exposing any lumps and bumps and feels so lovely on your skin.

Beautiful detailing at the neck and hem. It’s effortless, timeless and you’ll wear it for years.

Choosing summer pieces that give you confidence is the key to feeling great in the heat. This is bra- friendly and breathable.

The easiest summer trousers. Linen blend, pull on style for a cool, comfy look.
So easy to style and they come in 3 perfect neutrals xx

#LTKsummer #LTKover50style #LTKstyletip

Matchy matchy OOTD. Love these trousers - cotton piping is great for warm days and this colour is showing no signs of going anywhere 🍷 x

I’m still loving all things summer but new denim is creeping into the shops and these are too good not to share.

Soft, flattering and a really good shape, barrel jeans are going nowhere and these are very good indeed.

Wear now with linen shirts, vests and tees, then add a light jacket, long sleeved tops and light knits as things cool down.

These also come in white and a pale blue wash. Be quick 😉

When comfy is this chic it gets my attention 🖤🖤

The most popular and most requested item this summer by my styling clients has been a linen co ord - and they don’t get much better than this one.

Comment SHOP for the links x

I’ve had such great feedback about quality, fit and comfort - and it’s a great price too.

Co ords are a great idea for holidays as they create multiple looks from just 2 pieces. They work perfectly together, then give you lots of options as separates.

This navy is timeless - but if you fancy something different this also comes in pink, white and red.

I’m in a M shirt and M trousers.

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

Outfit of the day (I’ll get better at doing these). A simple, cool look while I run some errands.
I wear a medium in both the shirt and the trousers xx

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

The latest drop at M&S is very good indeed.
I know it’s too early for jumpers, but I’ve already ordered the chocolate cashmere because I know it won’t last long! 🤎

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

Beaded jewellery is such a fab way to add colour to a simple white tee look x

#LTKsummer #LTKstyletip #LTKover50style

A very good airport outfit. Also in pale yellow x
