As winter reveals itself, the urge to keep warm intensifies. Your home and more to the point, wardrobe should be your haven and safe space for all things comfort, confidence and warmth amongst the grey cold days outside. Obviously, a fireplace, heater and favourite blanket is a natural progression, but there is more we can do to get through the colder months feeling warm while looking chic along the way.
This month we cover Seductive Sequins and how-to set the tone for after dark dressing during winter. We fall in love with the latest Tweed obsessions to elevate your winter style while helping you Pack for your Next Winter Getaway. Complete with Cult favourites sourced from us to you that are bound to perk up the colder days ahead.
And as always, I hope you can draw a little or a lot of daily inspiration to help with your own dress style code this winter. And if you need a stylist in your pocket to help you source items on your wish list, why not schedule a fun day out shopping or wardrobe makeover with me via the link here.

Seductive Sequins – Mastering the After Dark Dress Code
While the music has long been a source of inspiration for sequin styled outfits during the 70’s and 80’s, this aesthetic later re-emerged in the form of slip dresses in the 90’s and naughts (que Kylie Minogue’s famous 2002 fever tour) and casual style blazers loved with tee shirts and jeans in the 2020’s proving sequins are that resilient trend we can keep returning to whatever the era and occasion.
