5 things we’re leaving behind as we enter 2026. I don’t know about you, but to me 2026 already feels like a much more mature and structured year than 2025. A year of making clever, informed choices based on self knowledge, experience and calm knowing. It makes sense to leave the trend carousel and paying premium for good marketing and subpar quality behind. We are much too clever to fall for it now. Instead it’s a year to lift individuality, start choosing from logic instead of emotion and celebrate our own small eccentricities. What are you ready to leave behind? 🤍You can find the items I’m wearing in my link in bio, or just comment “link” and I will DM the links to you 🤍 …and if you want to start your own wardrobe journey, I suggest you begin with the 7 day wardrobe reset.

Three different ways to do elegance in 2026.

Which one feels most like you: 1, 2 or 3?

Elegance isn’t really a “style” in itself. It’s about how a look is put together, the intention behind it, and the care you take with the details when you get dressed. You can look elegant in many different ways, depending on the occasion.

January is the perfect time to start cultivating the habit of caring about the small details. To take a moment to set an intention of listening inwards when we get dressed and really only wear what we love and feel amazing in.

I’m personally a mix of all three of these styles, just worn at different moments.

✨Happy New Year, my loves.✨

Ending the year grateful for this community. For the thoughtful messages, the warmth, and those of you who quietly lurk (I see you, and I appreciate you). You’ve made this a genuinely pleasant corner of the internet, which feels no small thing given the state of the world.

Thank you for reminding me, daily, that there are still decent people out there. I’m very excited to see what 2026 brings. I have a feeling it may be an extraordinary year.

Also, for the record, the Yeti fur was a triumph. Minus two degrees and I was the only one not cold.

And the final #OneItemAMonth in 2025 is…

(Something large an fluffy)

… a @lanvin runway shearling coat from @vestiaireco 🤍

It would normally retail for many thousands, and I was extremely lucky to find it completely unworn for just over £500.

As @warrenmeliax gave me my December One Item A Month for my birthday, it’s his treat. I’m a lucky girl!

Now, call me the yeti! I shall never be cold again 🙌🏻

Layering in winter does not have to be repetitive.

As a Scandi girl, I have spent my fair share of days battling a cold climate.

It is easy to give up and throw on the same massive coat every day, turning into a walking sleeping bag.

And that is totally fine if it is your vibe. However, there are many clever ways to layer that add variation, which can sometimes feel tricky to achieve in winter.

I have popped a few of my favourite ones in this reels.

Let’s steal elegant winter outfits from Pinterest.

Do you prefer look 1, 2, or 3?

Whenever I lack a bit of imagination, I turn to Pinterest and find looks that inspire me. Then I challenge myself to recreate them using items I already own.

It’s such a creativity starter. I always feel far more inspired by my wardrobe after forcing myself to look at it properly and figure out how to put these outfits together.

If you are feeling a bit stuck in a style rut, I highly recommend to give it a go.

I especially liked look number 1 today, and I think I’ll be re-wearing it very soon.

Warren has a new suit and needed an occasion to show it off, so we decided to go into London for some last-minute Christmas shopping.

And yes, we decided to go completely matching. Because why not? (Picking out this suit from @suitsupply was one of his highlights of 2025.)

First stop was @harrods, both for some stocking fillers and a few selected bits of delicious food for Christmas Day.

As I knew I needed him in a good mood for later, our second stop was the newly opened @thechanceryrosewood hotel for a @pomellespritz and a sour. It’s such a stunning venue, and we’ve already made it a regular whenever we go into town.

Last stop: @thediamond.lab. I’ve been a very good girl this year, and sometimes Santa needs a little nudge.

Now that we don’t live in London anymore, we make sure that each time we go in is really special. We take the opportunity to dress up and visit our very favourite places.

I truly believe that romanticising life makes you happier.

A little shortcut that really helped me figure out my personal style.

Sometimes you do not actually know what you like until you see it. Inspiration can be a really useful starting point when you feel a bit stuck.

We are often told to look at fashion magazines, celebrities, or “it girls” for style ideas. The problem is that most of those references are very trend driven, so their look changes all the time. That can make it hard to build a wardrobe that actually lasts.

You can look at classic style icons, of course, but there is not always that much material to study, and their lives and lifestyles were very different to ours.

What worked much better for me was finding a TV show where I genuinely loved the styling.

For me, it was Suits. The women are dressed in a very timeless way, but they all have distinct personal styles. It gave me a wide range of looks to take inspiration from without it feeling messy or confusing.

I pulled neutrals and beautiful fabrics from Jessica, more fitted silhouettes from Donna, and simple tucked-in shirts from Rachel. That became the base of my wardrobe.

From there, I started building a capsule that actually felt like me. It has evolved over time, but that original foundation is still there.

Do you have a TV show or character whose wardrobe you always love?

3 ways to style skinny jeans.

Which look feels most like you, 1, 2 or 3?

Skinny jeans have spent a while in the trend doghouse. And honestly, I was a little tired of them too. Sometimes a break is exactly what’s needed to see a piece with fresh eyes again.

I’m not ready to give them up for good. I just needed some distance to feel inspired by them again.

And trends aside, we don’t dress to please algorithms. We dress for ourselves. Personal style always matters more than what’s currently labelled “in” or “out”.

If this inspires you to pull your skinny jeans back out and rotate them into your wardrobe again, then mission accomplished.

They are still unmatched when it comes to pairing with tall boots.

Stylist vs wardrobe expert: what’s the difference?

I’m not a stylist, and I’m not aiming to be one.
My role isn’t to tell you what to buy or what I think suits you best.

Instead, I give you the tools to figure it out for yourself. To learn how to listen inward and limit external input, so you can hone in on your own personal style and curate a wardrobe based on your individual likes and needs.

Don’t get me wrong, a stylist can be fantastic for a special occasion or if you want to shake things up and see clothes from a new perspective. But it’s a short-term solution.

When you learn to trust yourself, you gain a skill for life. One that allows you to build a wardrobe that’s truly authentic to you.

It’s my birthday! 🥂 So how better to celebrate than to deep dive into my wardrobe and bring out my most stunning, absolute favourite dresses that make me feel like a fairytale princess every time I wear them. ✨

I have to say, it was hard to narrow it down to 5 and then even harder to rank them. They each have their own uses and some are more versatile than others.

So I decided to just go on how I feel when I wear them!

Now I want to know - Would you wear any of them?

This is why you hate your wardrobe

(And I will also give you the solutions to fix it.)

1. You have too many items, and most of them are mismatched, tied to old trends, or pieces you once loved but no longer want to wear.

The solution – A proper clear-out is the only way to solve this. Without it, you will never be able to see or reach the items you actually want to wear.

2. Your wardrobe is living in either the past or the future. You are holding on to styles and pieces that defined you years ago and no longer suit or fit, or you are keeping aspirational items you plan to wear “one day”.

Solution – Remove anything that doesn’t align with who you are today, the body you have now and the lifestyle you are living in the present.

3. You don’t have a plan when you shop. You buy into trends and items you think you’re “meant” to own instead of what you actually need and want.

Solution – Create a buying plan before you shop. Review what you own, assess the gaps, and identify the pieces that will make the rest of your wardrobe work harder for you.

There are plenty more reasons and solutions for why you might hate your wardrobe. Are any of the three above true for you, or is there another reason?

The 5 looks of Christmas ✨

Being Swedish means Christmas Eve is the main event. We dress up properly; a beautiful dress, heels, something sparkly and spend the evening eating, drinking and celebrating before Santa arrives to hand out gifts to the children. It has always been the highlight of the season for me.

But living in the UK means we mix traditions. We split the presents in two, with a few opened on Christmas Eve and the rest saved for Christmas morning. It gives us two full days of celebration instead of just one, which I secretly love.

Christmas Day always includes a long walk, followed by the full British Christmas dinner with crackers and those paper crowns I’ve grown surprisingly fond of.

And by Boxing Day, we finish it all off with a slow, cosy pub brunch.

It’s the perfect blend of both worlds for us.

How do you celebrate Christmas in your family? Any unique traditions you look forward to every year?

A complete small capsule wardrobe for the office 👌🏻

This edit is designed to be flexible. You can keep it as tight as six pieces or build it out to twelve if you want more variety. It all depends on your lifestyle, how formal your office is, and how often you like to rotate your looks.

I’m focusing on neutrals here because most of us already know how to wear black in a corporate setting. Neutrals make everything feel softer, more elevated, and every piece works just as well in other colours if you prefer a different palette.

The foundation is simple: high quality materials, clean shapes and great tailoring. Make sure that each piece is well chosen and it will all come together beautifully.

Footwear-wise, I’d add a pair of nude pumps, cream or beige ballerinas, and a smart loafer to tie the whole wardrobe together.

Save this post for when you are putting your own workwear wardrobe together or send it to someone who might need a little help.

5 types of Christmas girlies 🌲

Are you more of a quiet luxury, old money, comfy & cosy, minimalist or a hostess?

I’m a mix of the first two myself.

Quiet Luxury:
Think elevated essentials in beautiful fabrics. Cashmere, soft tailoring, tonal layers and jewellery that whispers rather than shouts. Polished, understated, effortless.

Old Money:
Structured silhouettes, heritage textures, deep winter tones and classic accessories. The kind of look that feels timeless no matter the year or trend cycle.

Comfy & Cosy:
Chunky knits, warm neutrals, relaxed fits, and soft textures you want to sink into. Comfort first, but still curated and intentional.

Minimalist:
Clean lines, monochrome palettes and simplicity with purpose. Every element is considered, and nothing is added without meaning.

The Hostess:
Chic dresses, elegant separates and refined accessories that feel festive but still functional. The lady who looks perfectly put-together while making the whole evening run smoothly.

An elegant Christmas outfit

The idea of being “overdressed” has never made much sense to me.

You can misread a dress code or arrive underdressed, but true elegance is never out of place. If anything, it sets the tone for the entire moment.

Life is far too short to let our beautiful pieces sit waiting for the “perfect” occasion. Wear the things that make you feel extra. Choose the outfit that reflects who you are, not just where you’re going. Genuine style is never a mismatch, it’s a statement.

And my One Item a Month purchase for November is…

…these incredible winter boots by @bogner.

I was hoping they would go into the Black Friday sale. They didn’t, and when I saw the sizes starting to disappear, I decided to get them anyway.

I’m so glad I did. They have that old-money St. Moritz feel that fits my winter wardrobe perfectly.

They will be ideal for our Sweden trip in a couple of weeks and also for skiing.

Start your 2026 with a wardrobe reset!

The question I hear more than anything else:
Tess… I want a wardrobe I actually love, but I have no idea where to start.

And honestly, I get it. Most people don’t have a fashion problem; they have an overwhelm problem. Too much noise, too many options, and no real framework to make sense of it.

For a long time I thought the answer needed to be a big glossy book. But I know myself: I like things that are clear, practical, and actually work. So instead, I built something much simpler and far more effective.

That’s how the “7 Day Wardrobe Reset” came to life.
It’s the exact process I’ve refined over six years of trial, error, and hundreds of real wardrobes. It takes you from “I don’t even know what my style is” to “I finally feel in control of my closet” in a way that feels doable, not daunting.

This is essentially what I do with my private clients, but the DIY version.

You can complete it in a focused week, or stretch it out if you prefer a slower rhythm. Either way, it consistently transforms even the most chaotic wardrobes into a clean, confident foundation you can build your dream style on.

If this feels like the reset you’ve been craving, just comment “reset” and I’ll send it straight to you.
If you want the outfit details instead, comment “link” and I’ll DM you. Both are also in my bio.

What I wore in November…

…it was a busy month with some wonderful highlights;

2 castles, an Irish night out with @sineadkearythelabel , a private concert with @jamiecullum, educational lunch with @sweedbeauty all wrapped up by an absolutely magical evening at the ballet for the opening night of the nutcracker with @audiuk 🩰

I like to pretend that all my months are as glamorous and exciting as this one. But let’s not forget all the school runs, food shops, horse rides and sports fixtures to watch in-between.

Coming into December I predict some fun Christmas party dresses and more warming layers. I’m also off to Sweden for a week, and then we are talking proper cold weather dressing ❄️

Come with us to the opening night of The Nutcracker at the Royal Opera house in London 🩰

Our amazing @audiuk family invited us to one of my favourite nights of the whole year - the opening night at the ballet.

This is the event that properly kicks off Christmas in our family. And this time was extra special as we were treated to a tour backstage where we got to see the making of the mice heads, how that Christmas tree actually grows and also got to meet some of the lovely cast and musicians.

It was a truly spectacular evening!

…when else can you wear a sparkly dress with a cape and fit in perfectly with the other snowflakes! ❄️

It was @warrenmeliaxs first time, and he powered through even though he just had a back operation earlier in the week.

He admitted his toxic trait was to be convinced he can dance like that if he really tried. As soon as he is better he will have to prance for me in the kitchen!

These 5 key pieces are going to cover me for most occasions in the next few months.

1. This elegant asymmetric 100% merino wool top by Roderic Wong.
Warm and sophisticated, it’s such a winner in my wardrobe.

2. A classic slightly oversized herringbone blazer by Ms Mug. That quintessential English country side look with a contemporary twist.

3. This super chic maxi dress by Nhat Viet. Don’t know what to wear to a gallery opening? This is it - effortlessly elegant.

4. I’m slightly obsessed with how well this cape style wool coat by Christina Fassbender goes with my favourite boots. This is definitely a statement piece with a bit of drama.

5. The perfect pleated trousers by Sang Hee Chun who has previously worked at Givenchy, McQueen, Balenciaga and Loewe.

All of these pieces are available at Fabrique, they work with over 350 independent designers worldwide wide. It’s one of my favourite platforms to explore new designers - both emerging and already established.

Autumnal mirror outfits 🍁

From watching my son’s sports fixtures and going for lunch to evening events and our engagement party.

I always remember to snap a shot in the mirror to save, both as a memory, but also to pop in my wardrobe library for later.

One of the absolute best tools to make dressing in the mornings easy is to be diligent with mirror selfies.

All I now need to do when I’m in a rush is to flip through the photos in my “autumn wardrobe” folder and pick a look I know I already feel comfortable and confident wearing.
