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

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.

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

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

Get this one before it goes! ❤️

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.

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 😉

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! 🤎

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