Thanks for the visit July…see you and hello August! Let’s be honest, as much as we love luxe layers, cosy winter warm dressing takes a minute or two longer to achieve that ‘polished put-together’ look. But the tail-end of winter is here, and with it comes excitement as you re-set and look forward to switching up your wardrobe in anticipation for warmer days.
In this issue, we dive into one of the most asked questions of 2022, How to Wear Skinny Jeans. A trend prevalent year after year and for good reason! And while we all admire an edgy denim look that’s truly stood the test of time, we also strive to achieve an effortless day-to- night look admired in style icon Kate Moss from afar. If you enjoy fashion talk as much as I do you will love my favourite 5 Must Watch Fashion Documentaries, perfect inspiration for sunnier days ahead.
P.S – If you need an extra hand on what to add to your wish list this month, we’ve done the hard work for you on KK’s Hit List. I’m currently lusting over Tom Ford heels!
With Love & Style Always,

How to Wear Skinny Jeans in 2022
Are skinny jeans still in fashion?
How to wear skinny jeans in 2022?
Are skinny jeans business casual?
Can women over 40 wear skinny jeans?
All frequently asked questions I am asked again and again. The answer simply put is…YES yes yes! Contrary to what you will hear and see from gen Z social influencers and bloggers alike skinny jeans never left town. Most if not all retailers continue to offer a refreshed version of this iconic style denim jean each season. And while a high rise boy fit and wide leg or relaxed jean continues its comfort driven fashion styles, for many women the skinny jean fit will always be their ride or die.
The secret to wearing skinny jeans is all in the styling. You want to be able to create a balance in your overall look. Try a voluminous top that softens the sleek look of your skinny jeans. Or a blazer to dress up a casual Friday day spent in the office. When in doubt about what to wear with your skinny jeans, you can always rely on your favourite oversized sweaters, a classic tee-shirt, white cotton shirt and silk blouse for a well put together look.
Are you still a skinny jean devotee? I’d love for you to leave a comment below and let me know how you are wearing denim in 2022?

Her coat choices continuously set the standard for how to navigate cold weather in style. Here are some of my all-time favourites:
