With decades of experience
I know silk. Here's what I know ... After decades I know silk. Here's what I know ... After decades of wearing silk — and building a wardrobe where most of my shirts and blouses are silk — I’m declaring myself an experienced (dare I say) silk expert. Not all silk is created equal. Chiffon is sheer and flowing. Charmeuse is glossy with beautiful drape. Crepe de chine is matte with texture. Satin weave is lustrous and smooth. Raw silk is slubby, textured and naturally irregular. Weight matters too. Silk is measured in momme (mm) — think of it like thread count for sheets. 12-19mm: scarves and delicate blouses 19-22mm: the everyday silk shirt sweet spot 25-30mm: tailored pieces and trousers And after years of trial and error, I’ve learned this: not all silk wears the same. Some silk pieces can be worn all day and still look fresh. Others crease the moment you sit down. That’s grade and weave. Higher-grade silk, like 6A pure mulberry silk, has longer, finer fibres that resist wrinkling and hold their shape beautifully. Lower grades crease easily and lose their lustre faster. Quality varies greatly, especially now that “silk” can mean wild tussah, blended synthetics, or pure mulberry silk. For me, 6A mulberry silk is the gold standard: stronger, smoother, naturally hypoallergenic and worth the investment. A few labels that have consistently delivered beautiful silk shirts over the years: @pierrelouismascia @etro @daisysilk.official @burberry @hermes. The takeaway? Look for 19mm+ for shirts, ask about the type, and feel the weight in your hands. Quality silk gets better with age — softer, more beautiful, more yours. #silkshirts #mulberrysilk #timelessstyle #contemporaryclassic #over50style
I know chunky loafers aren’t everyone’s thing ... I know chunky loafers aren’t everyone’s thing ... But on a day when I have a lot of ground to cover, errands, appointments, the general business of living, I reach for these without a second thought. Something about a more substantial sole just feels right. More grounded and more me. Apparently Miuccia Prada felt the same way back in the 1990s when she introduced the chunky loafer to the world. It caused a minor fashion revolution. And honestly, I’m still here for it. I’ve tried a few pairs over the years. Not all of them work but these definitely do. They’re Henry Beguelin, handmade in Italy, every pair slightly different from the last. A brand that has been doing exactly what it does since the early 1980s without ever chasing a trend. That kind of quiet consistency is rare and it’s exactly why I keep coming back. Wearing … Chunky loafers @henrybeguelin_official #timelessstyle #womenofstyle #slowfashion #quietluxury #chicstyle

The older I get, the more I understand that it’s n The older I get, the more I understand that it’s never about the clothes ... It’s about walking out the door so convinced you look wonderful that everyone else believes it too. My daughter says she has never met anyone who can mispronounce something and have people either believe it or not dare correct them. I’ll take that 😊 I can’t believe how well it works ... and so often. Wearing ...

28 days later … and my skin genuinely looked diffe 28 days later … and my skin genuinely looked different. Not filtered. Not “good lighting.” Just consistent skincare that actually delivered. I’ve been using the new @olayau Super Collagen Peptides Moisturiser together with the Ultra Firming Serum morning and night, and the difference I noticed most was how much firmer, smoother and more refreshed my skin looked overall. ✨ At this stage of life, I’m far less interested in complicated routines and far more interested in products that feel good, are easy to use, and actually do what they promise. These two have absolutely earned a place in my bathroom. Available at Priceline & Chemist Warehouse 🛍️ Have you tried the #Olay28DayChallenge yet? #OlayAU #over50beauty #matureskin #over50skincare
My mother was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan in 1926. My mother was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan in 1926. She died when my daughter was just three years old and there are days when I feel that loss more than others. Mother’s Day tends to be one of them. And yet she is still very present. In the way I think, in the things I value, in the woman I have tried to be. That doesn’t go away. In a few weeks my daughter and I are travelling to Kazakhstan together. I am looking forward to it so very much. She planted the seed for this trip ♥️. We will hike in the Tien Shan mountains, spend time at Big Almaty Lake ... both were my mother’s favourite places. In preparation for our trip, Ella is learning Russian and I can only imagine how happy and proud that would have made my mama. Happy Mother’s Day to every woman holding someone close today, and to those holding memories instead. #mothersday #mothersday2026 #motherhood #mothersday❤️
Accessories don’t lie ... Humans have been adorni Accessories don’t lie ... Humans have been adorning themselves for over 100,000 years. Not for warmth or protection... although some pieces can be lethal. 😉 But for status, identity and the very human desire to say something about who we are without opening our mouths. The earliest jewellery was made from shells, bones and feathers. Then came gold, gemstones and silk scarves. Nothing has really changed. We are still doing exactly what our ancestors did. Telling our story through the things we choose to wear. My accessories do two things ... They complement what I’m wearing and they reflect how I’m feeling. Subtle on the quieter days. Bold when I’m feeling... well, bold. Today was clearly a bold day and perhaps a little flirtatious .

I took the long way home today. Not because I had I took the long way home today. Not because I had to. Simply because I liked what I was wearing. And yes … that is a perfectly good reason. What you wear does change something. You walk a little differently. You slow down. You take your time. Nothing dramatic. Just enough to notice it. We don’t always need an occasion to enjoy what we wear. Sometimes the occasion is just … the day itself. #personalstyle #sydneystylist #styleover50 #effortlessstyle #outfitoftheday
