Thailand wardrobe diary 5/7- Date night 🍸

We call this @hardingegeorgia dress my “mermaid dress”. I absolutely love the sheen and the fun design.

I might be a neutral girl at home, however, when I’m on holiday I’m much more colourful. It’s my time to have a little fun with what I wear and this dress is exactly that - fun!

And I always have a great time when I’m wearing it. How can I not?

The Novelty effect -
When you do something new, your brain releases more dopamine.

That has two massive positives:
- Higher engagement and emotional intensity.
- Stronger memory encoding as the hippocampus activity increases.

This is why a week on holiday feels longer than a routine week at home and new relationships or environments feel more vivid.

Your brain is literally recording more data per unit time.

Without novelty, even good lives can feel flat.
New experiences temporarily reset your baseline, making you feel alive again.

Thailand wardrobe diary 4/7 - A day deep sea fishing.

Musts - a long sleeve coverup. SPF 50, sunglasses, swimwear, hat, proper shoes (no sandals or flip flops) and a lot of patience.

I have been fishing since I was very young, as soon as I could hold a rod, I was included on the boat.

In Sweden it’s very common to have a family holiday home on an island or in the woods, we were lucky enough to have both and I spent a large chunk of my summers finish with my dad and his uncle. And in the winters you found me on frozen lakes by a hole in the ice fishing pikes with my step dad.

It’s very common in old families to teach children to hunt, ride, ski and fish. The idea that we would be sitting around pools with fruity cocktails on holiday is just not for us. We were taught to be active, take part and hone our skills. And I would never have it any other way.

…and lucky that because today I caught my first ever tuna. 2.2Kg and it put up a big enough fight for me to end up with big blisters on my hands. Totally worth it for the fresh tuna sashimi that followed. A once in a lifetime experience and the best sushi I have ever had.

Do you fish?

Thailand wardrobe diary 3/7 - Evening cocktails by the beach.

I have an obsession with this dress. It’s the sleeves and the neckline that makes the shape so unique. It’s fun and flirty and I can wear it to the beach with a bikini under it just like this going for drinks after.

ad | My #OneItemAMonth in February is…

The gorgeous Luna bag by @songmont_official 🤍

I have been wanting this bag since I saw a review of it by @tanner.leatherstein.

It’s probably the most versatile bag I have ever come across and I actually can’t believe the quality I got for my money. It’s outrageously well priced for this level of leather and construction.

I’m partial to a smaller bag that still will fit all my necessities and the Luna can transfer from a day cross body to an evening clutch in a click.

You will see me wear this bag often, and for a lot of different types of occasions.

Wide legged trousers make you look shorter right?

Not necessarily.

Bad wide leggings trousers can make you look short, but If balanced correctly both to our proportions and the other items we are wearing, they actually have the complete opposite effect.

The keys to en elongating wide trouser look is;

1. A higher waist
2. Full length trousers that graze the ground, or a well proportioned ankle length (not too wide leg).
3. A straight cut that makes the trousers (and legs) go on for days.
4. Either a tighter top, or an item with volume that’s tucked into the waist. You need the anchor point of the waistband to counteract any extra fabric.

And if you really want to go for it, make sure to dress only in one shade or tonal. To trick the eye to only see a long continuous line instead of any cuts on the body.

How to incorporate spring pastels into your wardrobe.

Do you prefer look 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?

If you like me, don’t often wear colour, then pastels are the easiest way to add some more springlike shades into our wardrobes.

I personally love pale yellow, dusty pink and light blue and these shades work really well with my otherwise very neutral wardrobe.

They are the most understated “fun” colours we can pick and they feel just right this time of year. 🌷

We have all had that moment… standing in front of a full wardrobe, running late, and nothing feels right.

Outfit anxiety is really common and the easiest way to get rid of it is this:

1. Every time you buy something new, style it into 3 outfits as soon as you get home and make sure to take photos of the new looks.

2. Any time you wear an outfit you feel really good in, take a photo of it.

Then you save all the photos in a folder on your phone. You can split it by occasion if you feel like it would make things easier.

That then becomes your outfit library.

So when you’re getting ready, instead of overthinking it, you just open your phone, scroll, and pick something you already know you like.

It also reminds you of what you actually have, and how to wear it. 🤍

When I met Warren, it felt like falling in love in slow motion.

Not because there wasn’t attraction, there was plenty.
But there just wasn’t any anxiety with it.

No guessing.
No push and pull.
No trying to work out what he meant.

He was just… there.
Consistent. Steady. Certain.

And I remember almost questioning it at the time.
Because I think we’re so used to love feeling intense.

Butterflies.
Overthinking.
Highs and lows.

And I’ve realised since… that feeling isn’t always love.
A lot of the time it’s just your nervous system being activated.

This just felt calm.
Easy.
Safe.

But still exciting.

Not the kind that keeps you on edge.
Just… something you can actually relax into.

And it still feels the same now.

There wasn’t this intense start that then faded or slowed down.
It didn’t spike and drop.

It just… stayed.

The same level of attraction.
The same consistency.
The same feeling of being calm with him.

Why your wardrobe clear outs don’t work.

It’s not that they just don’t work for you and your wardrobe, it’s because you don’t have a decision framework.

Without one it’s really hard to know what to keep and what to get rid of. You end up keeping way too much and will continue to have the same problems as before.

5 items in my March capsule wardrobe

It’s that weird in-between time when some days we have cold weather and others it’s so wonderfully springlike here in the UK.

So what I’m bring out form my wardrobe in March will have to cater for my transeasonal needs.

1. Cream waistcoat by @lilysilk.
I love the structure and it has that rare wearability both for a more every day kind of look up to really quite smart. It’s definitely an underestimated piece in my wardrobe.

2. Tweed skirt by @goelia_official
You can get away with almost anything when you are wearing tweed. It’s a very elegant fabric and I love the juxtaposition of using it for a mini skirt.

3. Angora jumpers by @loversfriendsla
This is such a transeasonal hero. It’s warm, but kind of shows a little skin, and works really well with skirts and dresses.

4. Greige suede boots boots by @lkbennettlondon.
I absolutely love the texture and as the heel is only 8.5cm high I can wear them all day long.

5. Cream coat by @reiss.
It’s made in wool, but not lined. So it’s not really a winter coat but works perfectly in early spring.

Gorgeous dresses for spring 🌷

#LTKWedding #LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal

The 5 timeless dresses I wear every summer.

I don’t need a lot more to be honest, maybe something for black tie and an actual beach dress. But after that I feel like I could cover basically any occasions with these dresses.

And I rather re-wear a beautifully made elegant piece than buy new trend-led dresses that I will only wear for a season.

Do you prefer dress 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?

What are your standards?
For a long time I thought that getting somewhere in life relied on goals.

Set the right goal. Work hard enough. Eventually you get there.
But the older I get, the more I realise that outcomes have much more to do with standards.

The standards you hold for how you work.
How you spend your time.
How you take care of your body.
How you present yourself.
And what you are willing to tolerate around you.

There’s that saying that you become the five people you spend the most time with.

I used to think that was a bit over exaggerated. But once I understood that it was about standards and not personalities the penny dropped.

The people around you shape what feels normal.
What level of effort you expect.
What kind of behaviour you accept.
What ambitions seem realistic.

Over time I’ve realised that if you want a different life, it often starts with raising your standards.

For yourself, sure. But also for the people around you.

Tweed is for old ladies…

If by old you mean elegant, sure. It’s by far one of the most classic and timeless fabrics you can wear.

There are many different ways to style tweed, everything from laid back Parisian chic to English heritage countryside. Just make it yours.

This is what old families do differently;

We get taught from a young age to pick the items we want carefully. To choose excellent quality and timelessness that will stand the test of time.

A truly great purchase is one that will be loved and worn repeatedly, and later handed down to the next generation.

We are raised to see every large purchase as a potential future heirloom.
It’s a very mindful and sustainable way of consuming.

We don’t truly own anything, we are just the keepers for the next generation.

5 items I always pack for a warm holiday

No matter where I’m going, if the weather is warm these five things are always in my suitcase.

1. A really good swimsuit
If I could only bring one piece of swimwear, it would be a well-fitting swimsuit. It stays put if I’m swimming or doing anything active, always feels appropriate, and some styles double beautifully as a top in the evening.

2. A slightly oversized white shirt
This is my favourite beach cover-up. But it’s also one of the most versatile things you can pack. I wear it as a shirt, tied as a crop top, over a swimsuit, or even styled into a dress.

3. A pair of white shorts
Easy in the daytime with a swimsuit or shirt, but just as good in the evening with a pair of heels and a nice top.

4. A pair of beautiful sandals
For when I want to look polished without wearing heels. A good pair will work with everything in your suitcase.

5. A large scarf
Perfect for the flight, for cooler evenings, or as an extra styling piece. You can wear it as a wrap, or even style it into tops, skirts or dresses if needed.

What’s the one thing you never travel without?

5 completely free ways to upgrade your wardrobe today.

1. Clear out.
The biggest problem with most wardrobes is the amount of clothes in there. Very rarely we have too few items, most of the time we have way too many.
The problem is that you can’t see the pieces you actually want to wear when all the other stuff is hiding them.
Clear out and you will find that your style will instantly streamline.

2. Play with your wardrobe.
We get set in certain ways and combinations we wear our clothes. And if we never play around and try new matchings we will miss out massively. Amazing outfits don’t just happen, they need to be built through experimentation.

3. Moodboard your dream style.
If you don’t know where you want to go, how are you ever meant to get there? Make sure you understand exactly what you want your style to look like, feel like and say about you. Then slowly build your way towards that. A moodboard is an excellent place to start.

4. Display your clothes well.
It’s much more inspiring to choose outfits from a wardrobe where the pieces are clean, steamed and hanged properly. Presentation affects creativity and the perception we have of our wardrobe. Respect your clothes and you will feel better wearing them.

5. Style your outfits properly.
Tuck in or up, cuff and push. Add jewellery, belts, shoes and bags. Don’t be afraid of trying new ways to add that bit of extra interest to a look. This is what keeps your style alive and evolving. Have fun trying new ways to style your old items.

If I could go back to 20 something Tess, I would tell her;

The man you pick to walk through life with is your biggest investment, so please choose carefully.

Pick the person who doesn’t just love you, but truly supports you as well. The one who will celebrate your wins without playing “devils advocate” and respects your dreams and goals as much as you do his.

You are not here to live a supporting role to someone else’s ego. Don’t allow yourself to believe that you are less deserving or capable.

Choose someone who won’t try to run ahead of you or slow you down. The one who is secure enough to walk beside you and hold your hand. Who will race with you when things go well and pick you up when you fall.

Because you will fall. And that’s ok.

Find the partner that wont belittle your dreams and tell you “told you so” when something doesn’t go your way. Don’t settle for anything less than “everything will be alright, just try again. I believe in you and I know you can do it.”

Partnership is about mutual cheerleading, not supporting roles. You grow together or not at all.

When you get this right, magical things will happen. 🤍

Jeans are boring

… well they can be. They are rarely the focal point of an outfit and usually play more of a supportive role as a basic.

All that means is that they need more styling not to look bland. Match them with really personal pieces and don’t be afraid to accessorise and jeans will be anything but boring.

Here are the 5 types of jeans you can find in my wardrobe right now. They each have their own personality and I wear them in very different ways.

Do you prefer jean 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?

Let’s go to the BRIT awards with @audiuk ✨

This is my second year attending @brits and this time not in London, but in Manchester.

And what a night! There is no other time you get to see so many incredible artists on one stage in one night. Absolutely amazing! My favourite performance was @rosalia.vt with @bjork. It was beautifully breathtaking.

I had two dresses to choose from and I packed 3(!) pairs of shoes, just to be on the safe side. In the end I chose the blue dress (mainly as the hotel iron didn’t really do the white one justice) and my favourite (very comfortable) blue and white heels.

Audi had organised a chauffeured A8 to take me to and from the event and an overnight stay at @wildeaparthotels for the occasion.

I couldn’t imagine a more comfortable car to spend 4 hours each way in. I did a face mask and my gua sha on the way there and had a nice long nap on the way back.

Thank you so much @audiuk for having me and to @thelaurablair, @rowanrow and the awesome Audi team for the best company.

How to never make a bad purchase again 👏🏻

Every time you are about to buy something new for your wardrobe, ask yourself these 7 questions -

1. Can I afford it? - No piece of clothing, shoes or bag is worth getting into debt for

2. Do I need it? - want and need are different things, learn to know the difference

3. Do I love it? - never settle for things you only like when there are items you would love out there.

4. Would I wear it for at least 5 years? - is it timeless enough or is it a trend that will pass?

5. Will the quality allow it to last for 5 years? - think about Price per wear and always get the highest possible quality for your money.

6. Can you find it cheaper somewhere else? - pre loved, discount codes and sales are great ways to get better for our budget.

7. Can you match it in at least 3 outfits with items you already own in your wardrobe? - if not, return it!!

I use these questions whenever I buy anything for my wardrobe. I hope you found this useful. ❤️

Come with us on our Valentines date ❤️

@warrenmeliax takes Valentines seriously, and he booked us in to two of my absolute favourite places for a perfect evening out in London.

First we went to our fish and seafood go-to @scottsmayfair for seafood bisque, grilled prawns and Devon crab linguine.

Then we finished the night on a high, literally, at @thenestintreehouse with amaretto sours overlooking all of London.

I highly recommend both for an absolutely wonderful date night out in London.

He truly knows how to make me happy on Valentines ❤️

How a normal person can afford a luxury wardrobe.

It’s not about being wealthy, is about spending the budget we have on the right items.

1. Set your budget realistically, and stick to it. Only ever buy what you can afford.

2. Make a dream wish list of items you desire to have in your wardrobe. Dream big, medium and small.

3. Consider spending your full monthly budget on only 1 or 2 slightly more expensive pieces instead of several cheaper ones.

4. Use pre-loved, (including thrifting!) sales and discount codes to make unattainable items affordable and get as much as possible out of your budget.

5. Start ticking off your dream items.

Give it a try and see how it goes. If it’s not for you, then that’s completely fine. However, it might also change your life.

Come with us for a fun evening in London 🍸

You know how much I love a pretty dress and a night out in London.

We booked ourselves (and Olive 🐶) into the gorgeous @egerton_house hotel. It’s perfectly situated between South Kensington and Knightsbridge on a quiet street in the middle or the best area in London. If you are looking for a true old money style hotel, this is it.

We left the pooch to snooze in the hotel and walked down to the Kings Road and the opening of the first ever @needleandthreadlondon shop. It was like walking in to a sea of sequins! Every where you turn was a dress more gorgeous than the last.

… then a 5 minute walk and we reached our dinner destination - @daphneslondon. I have been going here for 20 years and I’m never disappointed. They serve the best pasta vongole and tiramisu in all of London. With the most polite and attentive service. (A little tip, ask to be seated in the conservatory).

If I could plan an evening in London for you, a stay at Egerton house and dinner at Daphnes (wearing a Needle and thread dress) would be up there.

Part 3 - I didn’t expect these videos to be so popular as they are not all about fashion. But I do find them lovely to make and highly relevant as a part of an elegant and curated lifestyle.

Obviously they are all my personal opinion, but are there any of them that you agree with or maybe even do/have yourself?

Also, should I make one more?

My best styling tips if you want to look taller.

As someone who is 5’5 who was a professional model for 20 years, I have had to do my very best with what I was given.

The illusion of height often comes from long limbs, so anything that makes your legs and arms look longer will trick the eye that you are taller.

Here are some of my favourite ways I like to play with my proportions to look taller than I actually am.

A week of scandi spring looks 🌷

Effortlessly cool, relaxed and put together at the same time. Scandi style is truly its own genre in the fashion community.

It’s the mix of minimalism, structure and volume that is the secret ingredient to a true Scandinavian look.
