An eye for what's well made
With decades of experience

I’m not a model ... Far from it. Apparently I’m to I’m not a model ...
Far from it. Apparently I’m too short to even qualify.

 But it certainly doesn’t stop me having a go when someone like Danielle Learmont offers the chance.

 Some things you do for love, fun and great company.
Thank you Danielle, thank you Trevor.

I haven’t missed these three habits in thirty year I haven’t missed these three habits in thirty years. Here’s why ...

They predate my dog, my daughter who is now in her twenties,and a former husband who I’m sure had opinions about the lights going dim at seven. Which tells you something about how non-negotiable they actually are.

The first is my morning shower, always ending with cooler water. Not Arctic, just cool enough to make you catch your breath slightly. I know, I know. But hear me out. It wakes up your nervous system in a way that nothing else does, not coffee, not a loud alarm, not good intentions. Your circulation gets a nudge, your mind gets clarity and you step out feeling genuinely ready rather than just technically awake. Miss it once and you’ll notice.

The second is walking. Every single day, at least thirty minutes, on top of whatever the dog has decided we’re doing that morning. I include stairs wherever I can find them because they’re free, they’re everywhere and they work. This is not fitness for me. It’s how I think. Some of my best decisions have been made on a footpath going nowhere in particular.

The third is dimming the lights after seven in the evening and finishing the day with a warm shower. Low light signals to your nervous system that the day is winding down. The warm water does the same thing, your body temperature drops as you cool afterwards and sleep follows more easily. Thirty years later I still do both and I still sleep well. I’ll take that.

Three habits. Thirty years. Still non-negotiable.

The worst style advice I ever followed... “Save i The worst style advice I ever followed...

“Save it for a special occasion.”

For years, I believed beautiful clothes should be reserved for important moments.

Then I realised something.

Most of life isn’t made up of weddings, galas or celebrations.
It’s made up of ordinary Tuesdays, coffee dates, errands, lunches and dinners with people you love.

So why should your favourite pieces spend their lives waiting on a hanger?

I have silk shirts I’ve collected over many years, and they don’t wait for permission anymore. They come with me to appointments, lunches, dinners and even the supermarket.

The same goes for beautiful coats, well-cut trousers and my favourite sneakers.

Because the truth is...

If you keep saving your favourite clothes for “someday,” someday has a habit of never arriving.

Life is reason enough to wear the things you love.

✨ Do you save your best clothes... or do you wear them?

There is something quietly magnificent about a wom There is something quietly magnificent about a woman and her décolletage ...

Not too much. Just right. That particular point where elegance meets something a little more daring and the woman wearing it doesn’t even blink.

Women have been navigating this since the 13th century when the décolletage first appeared in the courts of Europe. By the 17th century the French clergy launched a formal campaign to ban it entirely. They enlisted moralists, pamphlets and considerable outrage. Women responded by wearing it more. The campaign was a spectacular failure!

And centuries later, nothing has changed.

How a décolletage sits on a woman with decades behind her. 
The strength and the softness. The cool and the warmth. The stoicism and the fire. And that beautiful defiant wildness that nature gave us.
A mature woman carries all of it.

And a décolletage, worn with that knowledge, is stunning.

So, my challenge ... 
Undo that extra button. 
Give yourself a wink in the mirror 
... and off you go.

This simple habit changed the way I feel every day This simple habit changed the way I feel every day ...

Actually, it’s three. And I’ve been doing all of them for over thirty years, long before my dog, long before my child, long before a former husband who I’m sure had opinions about the lights going dim at 7pm. 

The first is my morning shower, always ending with cooler water. Not Arctic, just cool enough to make you catch your breath slightly. I know, I know. But hear me out.

The warm water does the same thing, your body temperature drops as you cool afterwards and sleep follows more easily. I started the dim lights well before Ella was born. Thirty years later I still do both and I still sleep well. I’ll take that.

Three habits. 
No equipment. 
No subscription. 
No willpower required after the first week. 
Just consistency, and the quiet satisfaction of having ticked my three non-negotiables. 🤍

From sand dunes to snow capped mountains, we cover From sand dunes to snow capped mountains, we covered 1,200 kilometres across four days, by 4WD, on horseback and on foot.

Altyn Emel. Charyn Canyon. Kolsai and Kaindy Lakes. Kazakhstan is not a country that reveals itself quietly. It opens up in vast, dramatic gestures and then catches you completely off guard with something so beautiful you forget to take a photo.

I came here partly to see the country my mother was born in. I didn’t expect to feel quite this undone by it.  A big thank you to our guide Yuri @wow_travel_kazakhstan

This is one fashion rule I’ll never follow ... Sa This is one fashion rule I’ll never follow ...

Save it for a special occasion.

I have at least twenty silk shirts collected over the years. If I saved them for special occasions they would be lucky to leave the wardrobe more than once a month. Instead they are worn most days, whether I’m out for dinner, attending an appointment or running errands.
Same goes for my coats, my trousers and what I call my ’next level’ sneakers.

The pieces that hang quietly in your wardrobe waiting for the right moment are the ones that never quite get their moment. And that feels like a waste of something beautiful.

Unless it’s a ballgown or a formal cocktail dress, I genuinely cannot see why you would wait.
The pieces that wait for permission rarely get it. And life is far too short for a silk shirt that never leaves the wardrobe. 
Mine certainly don’t wait to be asked twice.

Women apologise far too much ... For taking up sp Women apologise far too much ...

For taking up space. 
For having an opinion. 
For asking a question, changing their mind, or simply existing with confidence in a room.

I know because I did it too.
Sorry to interrupt. Sorry to bother you. Sorry, could I just. Sorry, I might be wrong but.

At some point I started noticing how often that word appeared before I had even finished a thought. And how rarely it needed to be there.

An apology has real value. It matters when something genuinely warrants one. But when it becomes a reflex, a way of shrinking before anyone asks you to, it stops being polite and starts being a habit worth breaking.

You are allowed to take up space. To have an opinion, ask for what you need, say no without a lengthy explanation and hold your standards without apology.

None of that requires sorry.

A Golden Eagle required the appropriate attire ... A Golden Eagle required the appropriate attire ...

Ella and I couldn’t resist this little piece of theatre at Shymbulak, just 30 minutes from Almaty, Kazakhstan’s cultural and original capital. The traditional costume, the grand mountains, a majestic bird... just a taste of what we’re about to experience.

This is also the country my mother was born in. 
Every part of this trip feels like walking a little closer to her.

If you’ve ever felt intimidated by orange, you’re If you’ve ever felt intimidated by orange, you’re not alone ... but you might be missing out. 🧡

Orange is one of the most psychologically powerful colours you can wear.

Associated with warmth, optimism, confidence and creativity, it’s a colour that naturally attracts attention without feeling intimidating. While black can communicate sophistication and authority, orange brings energy, approachability and a sense of joy.

As a stylist, I’ve often found that women who shy away from colour are surprised by how transformative it can be. A vibrant shade doesn’t just change how others see you ... it can change how you see yourself.

You don’t have to wear orange from head to toe. Sometimes a dress, a scarf, a handbag, or even a small pop of colour is enough to brighten both your outfit and your mood.

Fashion should never be about disappearing into the background. It should be about expressing who you are.

Would you wear orange? 🧡
