A cozy cableknit is always a good idea in the wintertime and this Cotswold Sweater from Mersea is a classic. 🤍 It’s the kind of piece you can just throw on and still feel completely put-together. The timeless cable pattern and relaxed yet refined shape make it a true winter staple. I’ve paired it here with the Paige Mason ankle straight jeans, which have the perfect tailored fit structured, but still so comfortable. I love how the clean lines of the jeans balance the soft, textured knit of the sweater. Add a classic ballet flat or driving loafer, a swipe of lipstick, and you're ready to take on the day with elegance and ease. How do you like to stay cozy and classy in the wintertime? ❄️ OutfitOfTheDay TenItemWardrobe MerseaSweater LTKGiftGuide LTKSaleAlert LTKHoliday

One of my favorite rituals this time of year is bringing out our Spode Christmas Tree collection. There’s something so comforting about opening the cabinet and seeing these familiar, festive pieces waiting to be enjoyed once again.

I love to display them in our china cabinet throughout the season it adds a touch of old-world charm and immediately sets a cozy, nostalgic tone in the home. From afternoon tea to Christmas breakfast, these dishes carry not just food, but memories.

I like to decorate the back of the cabinet with matching placemats to give it a dollhouse look. They also make even simple meals feel a bit more magical. Proof that you don’t need to go overboard to create a festive atmosphere. Just a few thoughtful touches can cultivate beauty and joy in the everyday.

You can find the Spode Christmas Tree dishes and placemats on Wayfair. I’ve linked them for you on LTK.

Deck the halls... and your wardrobe! I’ve added this beautiful Goelia sequin and beaded sweater as a Ten-Item Extra this season, and it’s been such a joy to wear. 🎁

With its black pearl details, velvet bow, and subtle shimmer, it strikes that perfect balance: festive but refined. It instantly elevates even the simplest outfit like these Quince Bella wide-leg jeans, which have quickly become a favorite. The silhouette is so flattering, and the stretch makes them perfect for cozy gatherings at home or a last-minute holiday outing.
This pairing has been ideal for those “in-between” moments—when I want to feel pulled together without going over the top. Just add a red lip, a polished low bun, and you’re ready for anything the season brings.

Would you add a sparkly piece like this to your winter wardrobe? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

One of the secrets to making the Ten-Item Wardrobe work is finding those intentional, high-quality pieces that bring both joy and versatility to your closet. This season, I finally found the leopard coat of my dreams the Tessa Leopard Jacket by Marine Layer. ✨

It’s ultra lofty, wonderfully warm, and just playful enough to lift your mood on the dreariest fall day. I’m pairing it here with my Arles Satin Skirt and Hadley Satin Box Top from @shopmersea for a look that feels effortlessly Park Avenue chic. 🍸 But don’t be fooled, this jacket is just as stunning over jeans and a tee for an elevated casual look.

🧥 Leopard is a bold neutral in my book, timeless, elegant, and just a bit cheeky. When you're working with a limited wardrobe, pieces like this make dressing so much more fun.

🎯 Would you add a leopard coat to your outerwear this season?

Here is the outfit I wore to the book signing event during my recent trip to South Carolina. I wanted to feel elegant, approachable, and refined and this look struck just the right balance.

I'm wearing the Heidi Merrick Farrah blouse, which has the most beautiful silhouette and drape. It pairs effortlessly with Lilysilk’s pleated black silk trousers, creating a timeless, understated ensemble. I finished the look with classic black suede Jimmy Choo pumps, which always make me feel confident and pulled together.
This look felt very Madame Chic simple, high quality, and timeless. ✨

Here’s another look I wore during the Gracious Living Celebration in charming Charleston, South Carolina. This outfit was a perfect balance of elegance and ease, exactly what I needed for a full day of festivities and connection.

I'm wearing the Rungolee Melodie skirt in Espresso Baby Leopard, and I cannot say enough good things about it. It's feminine, flowy, and comfortable dressy without feeling fussy. Truly one of those pieces you’ll reach for time and again.

To keep things polished yet playful, I paired it with these charming Vivaia round toe loafers featuring an embroidered cheetah 🐆 (aren’t they fun?), and sheer nude Hipstik pantyhose for that subtle finishing touch.

This would make such a lovely outfit for a holiday gathering, afternoon tea, or even a museum day. Where would you wear this look?

This was the dress I wore to give my keynote speech at the Gracious Living Celebration in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina. What an honor it was to speak about elegance, intentional living, and the art of embracing life’s simple pleasures. 🌿

For such a special occasion, I chose this embroidered tulle party dress from Boden: a look that whispers of Parisian romance with its delicate angel sleeves, soft velvet trim, and nostalgic silhouette. I paired it with my favorite Hipstik black sheer pantyhose for a comfortable yet polished look, and finished with Birdies flats.

This ensemble felt like something out of a classic film timeless, graceful, and quietly powerful.

I'm wearing the Bella stretch wide-leg jeans from Quince such a flattering silhouette, especially when cropped at the ankle (I chose the 26 inch seam as opposed to the 28 inch). I love pairing cropped jeans with boots, and these work beautifully with my Thursday Boot Co.
Quest boots in matte black. They're rugged yet refined and balance out the femininity of the Dôen Henri blouse perfectly.

This look is a wonderful blend of softness and structure: a romantic blouse, clean lines, and sturdy, walkable boots. It’s an ideal transitional outfit for fall, and best of all, each piece is versatile enough to mix and match within the ten-item wardrobe.

Today I’m sharing another look that falls under my special occasion extras: the Melodie maxi skirt in espresso baby leopard by Rungolee, paired with a black washable silk stretch tee from Quince.
This gorgeous silk skirt is such a statement piece: flowy, elegant, and delightfully subtle with its espresso leopard print. The print acts like a neutral, which means it pairs effortlessly with just about everything. I’ve chosen to style it simply here with a classic black silk tee and loafers, but it would look equally lovely with riding boots or sandals depending on the season.

While you could wear this skirt every day (and I know some of you might!), I’ve placed it in my special occasion extras; those carefully chosen pieces reserved for holidays, elegant dinners, and events that call for a little something extra.

💡 This is a perfect example of how the 10-item wardrobe doesn’t exclude beautiful or expressive pieces. Instead, it gives them space to shine when the moment is just right.

✨ What are your go-to special occasion extras?

I’d love to know how you add elegance to your wardrobe in a thoughtful way.

This beautiful ivory blouse is from Heidi Merrick’s Frog and Toad collection. With its soft, romantic drape and graceful silhouette, the Farrah blouse feels effortlessly feminine and perfect for dinner and drinks or a polished daytime outing. The generous fit flatters the figure without overwhelming it, and the subtle sheen adds just a touch of glamor.

I’ve paired it with my Lilysilk pleated trousers to let the blouse truly shine. These trousers are a core staple in my wardrobe. Their high waist and fluid cut create a long, flattering line, and the silk adds an elevated feel, even when styled simply.
🌿 This look is in my special occasion extras and will suit many elevated occasions in the future.

✨ Some of my seasonal style words this fall are: polished, romantic, feminine, classic, and serene.

This look is a reminder that effortless can be elegant. I’m wearing the Cotton Modal Scoop Neck Tee (part of the 3-pack bundle from Quince) paired with the timeless Goelia 100% Washable Wool A-Line Skirt and I couldn’t feel more comfortable or put together.

I love the way this soft, neutral tee balances the classic structure of the pleated wool skirt. The combination feels cozy, refined, and very fall-ready. 🍂

To complete the look, I’ve added my Thursday Boots riding boots and my Charlotte Elizabeth crossbody bag perfect for a day of errands or a casual outing that still calls for a little polish.

Today I’m wearing the Cotton Mixed Media Tank Dress from Quince, and I have to say this piece is a true wardrobe staple. It’s beautifully simple, yet undeniably elegant... just how I like it.

Because it’s sleeveless, it offers endless opportunities for layering. This fall and winter, I’m looking forward to styling it with cozy knits, crisp button-downs, and even a chic lace tee. The structure of the bodice paired with the soft, flowing skirt makes it incredibly flattering and versatile.

For this look, I’ve paired it with my Hipstik tights (they're so comfortable and stay in place!) and my Thursday Boots ‘Quest’ for a slightly edgier feel... perfect for crisp autumn days.

A dress like this brings the ten-item wardrobe to life. With just a few intentional pairings, it can transition seamlessly from casual afternoons to more refined outings.

Today’s outfit brings back all the romantic nostalgia of my youth… but with a refined, modern edge. This stunning velvet midi dress by Goelia is giving me major Jessica McClintock vibes remember those dreamy dresses from decades past? I used to adore wearing them, and this one feels like their elegant, grown-up sister.

Made from rich black velvet, it features a Victorian-inspired sheer lace collar that adds just the right amount of drama. It’s romantic, timeless, and just a little mysterious… and to top it all off, it comes with a beret! 🎀

I felt like I stepped out of a 19th-century novel or a Parisian café in the 1950s. It’s perfect for autumn gatherings, date nights, or even a quiet evening at home reading by candlelight. ✨

As we transition into the cozy, contemplative months of autumn, I’m so thrilled to add these two beautiful pieces from Goelia to my ten-item wardrobe this season.

First, for the core item: this 100% washable wool A-line skirt a classic, tailored beauty that brings me right back to my Paris days. I had a similar skirt I wore constantly while living there. This one has that same elegant silhouette with a nod to Dark Academia, but with a modern, practical twist (yes, it’s machine washable!). It pairs effortlessly with nearly every top in my wardrobe.

And speaking of tops… I’m also loving this Tencel blend puff sleeve sweater in the most divine burgundy hue. With its slightly puffed sleeves, cropped fit, and decorative buttons, it’s romantic and refined. Worn together, these two pieces create an outfit that feels feminine, polished, and quietly powerful.

Let me know if you’d wear these pieces too! 🖤👇

Today’s outfit feels like it stepped out of the misty streets of Victorian London— with a modern twist, of course. I’m wearing this gorgeous Goelia wool blend cape cardigan, and I must say… elementary, my dear Watson! 🕰️

The rich navy shade is timeless, and the gold buttons add just the right touch of old-world charm. But the standout detail? That elegant cape feature is subtle yet makes such a refined statement. It's giving strong Sherlock Holmes-core vibes, and I’m here for it!

To keep things contemporary, I paired it with my Paige Mason cropped ankle jeans for a clean, tailored look. I love how the structured denim balances the flowy drama of the cape. A perfect blend of classic and modern.

This look feels smart, polished, and a bit mysterious: ideal for crisp autumn days filled with books, tea, and maybe a little sleuthing. 🫖📚

I couldn’t resist sharing this stunning knit sweater from Goelia in the most divine burgundy hue. The silhouette has such a lovely Victorian feel to it… from the gently puffed sleeves to the cropped fit and subtle hemmed slit. And those decorative buttons? Pure elegance.

It has a classic silhouette elevated with a subtle yet glamorous beaded neckline. It's made from 100% wool, so it’s not only beautiful, but also luxuriously soft and warm. I love how the embellished collar brings just the right amount of sparkle without overwhelming the look.

I plan to wear this piece casually with jeans to add elegance to my everyday uniform… and then dress it up with a sparkly skirt for holiday soirées or intimate dinner parties at home. It’s one of those rare items that blends timeless charm with a festive flair

If you love charming English village life, eccentric characters, and the kind of quiet, cozy storytelling that slowly reveals its delicious humor… you must read Miss Plum and Miss Penny by Dorothy Evelyn Smith.

What follows is a whirlwind of comic mishaps, uncomfortable social graces, and some deeply relatable moments about protecting one's hard-won peace 🫖🌧️

Every now and then, I love to add a gripping thriller to my reading list. The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena was that book for me this summer.

It all starts at a dinner party… and from there, the mystery unfolds with layer upon layer of suspense. I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say: I was hooked!

While my usual reading list includes classics, cozy mysteries, historical fiction and nonfiction, I find that mixing in a few thrillers like this adds a bit of excitement to the rotation. It’s perfect for lounging by the pool, taking on vacation, or simply curling up with a cup of tea on a quiet afternoon. As a disclaimer, it does have some strong themes and language at times so please read the description before you try it out.

There’s something undeniably romantic about a rainy day in London, the glistening cobblestones, the misty gray skies, and the comforting rhythm of raindrops on your umbrella.

I spent the day exploring charming shops, strolling through the city streets, and taking in the thought-provoking exhibits at the Saatchi Gallery. This outfit is comfortable for a day of walking and will also keep me dry.

A lightweight waterproof jacket, a classic Breton stripe, wide-leg jeans, and practical sneakers carried me through it all with ease. I kept my hands free with a crossbody bag, ideal for shopping and museum hopping alike.

Dressing elegantly doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort, it means choosing pieces that reflect your personal style and serve your lifestyle. Rainy days are no exception. 💛

👜 Bag: Dooney & Bourke Pebble Leather Turnlock Hobo – Even if this exact color is no longer available, the style is a true Dooney classic and well worth considering in any shade.

👗 Dress: Quince Organic Cotton Gauze Maxi Dress in Vintage Cream Light, airy, and endlessly flattering. This dress feels like wearing a summer breeze.

🧥 Cardigan: Lilysilk Gariana Striped Wool Cardigan – The nautical stripes bring structure and polish to the softness of the dress, an ideal balance.
