I’ve been wearing this fun @newlook fruit print skirt on repeat so when I spotted the matching top in the sale for £14, I had to give it a try!
🍊🍓🍋🍎
It’s 100% cotton and I love the flattering peplum style. It also has an elasticated waist, milkmaid neckline and puff sleeves!
The skirt is also now in the sale and is £23! I’m wearing a size 14 in the top and a size 12 in the skirt.

Trying on the @newlook Adalae jeans! (as someone who doesn’t “do jeans!”).
These are the high waisted wide leg jeans. I’ve gone for a size 12 from the petite range in dark blue.
They are £34.99 but I paid £26.24 in the recent 25% off promotion (tip if you sign up to the New Look club you’ll get a code for 25% off, works for existing customers too!).
The blouse is also New Look - 100% cotton and only £17.99.

The latest @hobbslondon marketing campaign is “a good coat is everything” and honestly, I couldn’t agree more.
When the weather gets colder, your coat is the first (and sometimes only!) thing people will see so it really becomes your whole look.
I’m wearing the Livia 100% wool coat in petite - perfectly tailored, effortlessly chic and the rich tan colour just goes with everything. A timeless investment piece for coat season.

Raceday ready for the season finale at Goodwood Races!
Burgundy and navy might just be my new favourite combo! 🍇💙

#LTKluxury #LTKstyletip #LTKautumn

With no need for big coats and knitwear this week due to the warmer weather I’ve been enjoying wearing some lighter outfits again like this beautiful Arina floral skirt from @phaseeight. I’ve paired it here with a classic white shirt from @saintandsofia, tan sandals from @thewhitecompany and @gucci bag.

#LTKuk #LTKmidsize #LTKautumn

@karen_millen currently have an amazing offer on with 30% off all coats and jackets PLUS you can get an EXTRA 15% off using the code COAT15.
This burgundy Wool Double Breasted Tailored Midi Coat is definitely an outfit in itself - it’s effortlessly chic is and is one of those coats that instantly makes you feel like you could walk out the door with just leggings and a tee underneath and still look pulled together!

#LTKwinter #LTKuk #LTKsale

Trying on the latest trending checked jacket from @marksandspencer!
I tried last months viral checked barn jacket and it just wasn’t for me. Too big and boxy and just didn’t do anything for me. This one works a lot better for me as it’s a more cropped style and I just feel the proportions are much more flattering for us shorter ladies (I’m just under 5ft3).
Let me know what you think - a keeper or not?
The reviews said it comes up big - I meant to pick up a size 12 but when I got home it must have been on the wrong hanger as I realised this is actually a 10.

I need to confess that I’m already outfit planning for the season finale at @goodwood_races on 12th October!
This is a more relaxed country-style event so I’ll be foregoing my usual formal raceday looks in favour of country glam and this outfit is a strong contender (although will probably have to rethink the bare legs if it gets much colder!).

#LTKluxury #LTKautumn #LTKstyletip

AW25 at @newlook is full of rich browns and burgundy’s, checks and tweed. So if you’re after the luxe country style on a budget you’re in luck!
The check blazer feels really high quality in a thick brushed fabric with flap pockets and finished with a set of double-breasted buttons. The smocked-bodice midi dress in rich burgundy is made from 100% cotton and is a great layering piece for wearing under jackets and jumpers.
And let’s talk about the knee high boots - super comfy thanks to the block heel and wide fit for us larger calf girlies!

Crafted from soft viscose crepe with a smocked bodice, deep V neckline and floaty tiered skirt, it’s finished with lots of lovely details like pockets and elasticated cuffs.
I’ve paired it here with a raffia bag from @lkbennettlondon and raffia sandals from @newlook.

My August favourites from @saintandsofia 🖤
The Harper Lace Cami is a true wardrobe classic. It’s handmade from a luxurious rayon that drapes beautifully and is finished with delicate floral lace at the neckline and a subtle tonal jacquard texture. It’s such a versatile piece that will transition seamlessly from day to evening.
The Margot V Neck Jacket is equally refined. Crafted in Europe from boucle-textured organic cotton, it’s the perfect balance of tailored sophistication and everyday wearability. The removable cuffs provide styling versatility, allowing it to adapt for both more formal and relaxed looks.
As always, Saint + Sofia proves that understated details and quality craftsmanship create pieces you will return to season after season.
I’m wearing a size 14 in both pieces.

#LTKluxury #LTKuk #LTKautumn

The Pia blouse and Arina skirt from @phaseeight are truly a match made in co-ord heaven 🌸💕

#LTKsummer #LTKautumn #LTKstyletip

I’d spotted this @newlook dress looking fab on a few other insta ladies and fell in love but of course, it was always out of stock! Cue my Olympic-level website stalking…🕵️‍♀️🤣
And guess what? When it finally reappeared in my size, it was 40% off in the sale (reduced to £29!) 🙌

#LTKdresses #LTKsummer #LTKsale

Blue has always been one of my favourite colours for summer - there’s something about it that feels instantly fresh, uplifting, and timeless.
The Delphine Dress from @phaseeightclothing captures all of that perfectly, with its gorgeous cornflower blue base scattered with soft pale pink florals. I adore the delicate crochet detailing at the collar and sleeves, and the tie waist that gently nips in for such a flattering shape.

#LTKdresses #LTKmidsize #LTKsummer

The @hobbslondon Summer Sale is still going strong and there are some incredible finds if you haven’t browsed yet.
I’m in the Elina Dress, made from 100% cotton with the most beautiful, colourful botanical print (and pockets, of course!). It now has £40 off in the sale making it even harder to resist 🌸💐🌼
I’ve styled it with the Lily Leather Slingbacks and the Posie Woven Leather Bag also from Hobbs - both perfect for sunny strolls or garden parties.

Summer outfit goals 💕

My August picks from @newlook!
Adore the fruit print midi skirt. So much so, I’ve now ordered the matching top! 🍋🍊It’s 100% cotton and lined.
I saw these linen blend peplum tops in store and loved them - super flattering on the mum tum and a great alternative to the linen waistcoats that are everywhere if you aren’t so keen on having your arms completely out. Couldn’t decide on the black or stone so keeping both! (it also comes in white).
And the raffia sandals - only £11 in the sale so a total no brainier! They are super comfy too thanks to the block heel.

#LTKuk #LTKsummer #LTKmidsize

This fabulous printed linen dress now has 50% off in the @boden sale. I’m wearing a size 14 petite.

#LTKpetite #LTKsale #LTKsummer

The heatwave might be making a comeback next week (apparently!) but for now I’m fully embracing layers again and loving it!
These gorgeous pieces from @whitestuffuk are ideal for cooler days. A crisp white tee and classic denim skirt are forever wardrobe staples and this crew neck cardigan with its contrast tipping adds just the right amount of chic to a casual look.
And can we talk about these fabulous leopard print ballerinas? They definitely add a little fun and sass to the finished outfit! 🐆❤️

#LTKmidsize #LTKuk #LTKautumn

The colour isn’t one I’d usually reach for and I normally prefer a patterned dress over plain, but I just love the elegance and drama of this one with its exaggerated puff sleeves and belt detail — it really makes a plain coloured dress feel special.
