Where Did You Get That Hat….

I’m choosing to ignore the fact that the UK weather is currently doing its best impression of November and instead live in hope that the sunshine will return soon!

So, my Item of the Month is this fabulous adjustable crochet hat from Uniqlo.

It barely left my head during those few glorious days of sunshine we had and it quickly became my holiday essential when I packed it for a short trip to Spain.

What I love most is how practical it is. You can scrunch it up and pop it into your suitcase or beach bag, and it springs straight back into shape the moment you put it on. It also has an adjustable inner strap, so it fits perfectly and is incredibly comfortable to wear.

And unlike some bucket hats, with their deep crown, this one is surprisingly flattering. The shape is softer, lighter and easier to wear, giving you all the sun protection without feeling like you’re hiding underneath it.

If you’re looking for a summer hat that’s stylish, practical and easy to wear, I can thoroughly recommend this one.

Stylish, lightweight, packable and practical, I know I’ll be wearing it all summer long… just maybe not this week!

Wear the Jorts!

And no, you don’t have to be a skater girl or channel Avril Lavigne to wear them! I think jorts can look just as stylish and modern on women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond.

Throw on a blazer and a smart pair of flats and you’re office-ready (depending on where you work, of course!). Add a striped tee and trainers or flip-flops, and you’ve got the perfect look for running errands, grabbing coffee or doing a supermarket sweep.

Want to wear them ‘out out’? Pair them with sequins, lace or a dressier top, add a few well-chosen accessories and you’re good to go.

Casual jorts, smart jorts, out-out jorts… I’m here for all of them. Swipe to the final slide to see how I wear mine.

Because age doesn’t dictate what you can wear. Confidence does.

What about you, are you a jorts fan?

I was chatting with a good friend I met at the London College of Style recently, and we got talking about the hardest-working items in our wardrobes.

Without hesitation, I said this linen suit from M&S, bought back in 2023.

Since then, I’ve worn it so many times I’ve genuinely lost count. From watching the polo at Ham Polo Club to my son’s graduation, from my first day at the London College of Style to my Sara Elizabeth Style brand shoot, plus it’s been my go-to for countless work, travel and social occasions.

What I love most is its versatility. I can dress it up or down depending on the occasion, and it perfectly captures my three style words: relaxed, effortless and confident.

I also think this linen suit is such a great alternative to a dress in summer. It’s comfortable and incredibly easy to wear. And let’s be honest, there are days when not having to worry about fake tan or shaving your legs is a definite bonus!

For me, this suit is a reminder that the best pieces in our wardrobes are often the ones that make getting dressed feel easy. The ones we reach for again and again because they make us feel comfortable, confident and completely ourselves.

I’d love to know… what’s the hardest-working item in your wardrobe? The piece you reach for on repeat and never regret buying?

I love using the Three Word Method when working with clients because it helps take the guesswork out of finding your personal style.

One of the easiest ways to discover your style is to think of three words that describe how you want to look and feel when you get dressed.

Examples of words could be:
• Feminine
• Elegant
• Relaxed
• Edgy
• Sporty
• Glamorous
• Contemporary
• Creative
• Understated
• Chic
• Bohemian
• Minimal
• Confident
• Polished
• Effortless
• Colourful
• Classic
• Tailored
•
There are so many to choose from, and there are no right or wrong answers. The important thing is that the words feel authentic to you.

Once you’ve chosen your three words, take a look at your wardrobe and ask yourself:

Do my clothes reflect them?
Going forward, use those words as a filter whenever you’re shopping or putting outfits together. If a piece doesn’t fit your style words, it’s probably not right for your wardrobe.

The beauty of this method is that your words can evolve depending on the occasion. You might have one set of words for everyday life, but choose a different three when you’re dressing for a wedding, a holiday, a special event or a big night out. It helps bring clarity and makes getting dressed so much easier.

My everyday style words are relaxed, effortless and confident.
For evenings, I’d probably swap relaxed for stylish.

Give it a try. It’s a simple exercise, but it can be surprisingly powerful.
I’d love to know your three style words. Let me know what they are in the comments below 👇

The blue & white striped shirt, is very much a hero piece for me.

It’s one of those things I reach for again and again because of it’s versatility. I love how it sits between casual and polished. I’ll wear it with denim, tailored trousers, khaki and of course a pair of gorgeous white trousers.

It doesn’t feel try-hard either. The stripe gives it a bit more interest than a plain white shirt, but it’s still incredibly easy to wear and style.

Me & Em have a lovely seersucker version at the moment… slightly textured, really flattering, and perfect if you want something that feels a bit lighter and more relaxed for summer.

This is how I tend to wear mine:
• tucked into trousers when I want it to feel smarter
• loose with jeans and trainers for everyday
• slightly undone with a bit of gold jewellery when I want it to feel more relaxed.

Fabric makes such a difference. I tend to go for cotton if I want it to feel sharper, or linen when I want something more laid-back.

It’s one of those pieces that quietly does a lot of the work in my wardrobe… and I honestly wouldn’t be without it.

How about you, what’s your wardrobe essential?

April Round Up
Fewer layers this month, just easy pieces that work without overthinking.

This is the formula I come back to again and again…
jeans or relaxed trousers, a great tee or lightweight knit, and a few favourite accessories to pull it all together.

It works for my lifestyle, it feels like me, and it makes getting dressed feel effortless rather than overwhelming.

That’s the benefit of knowing your style.

When you understand what suits you, shopping becomes clearer, outfits come together more easily, and you stop buying pieces that never quite earn their place in your wardrobe.

If you’re still figuring yours out, start here:
• Start a Pinterest board and save anything you’re drawn to (no overthinking)
• Look for patterns in shapes, colours and outfits
• Put a few words to it… simple, relaxed, polished, bold

And take photos of outfits you feel good in.
They become your shortcut on days when you don’t want to think too hard.

If your style needs a lift, start with colour.

The right shades can instantly make you look fresher, brighter and more like yourself.

Through colour analysis, I identify your personal season (Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter) and show you exactly which tones flatter your skin, hair and features.

But it’s not just about appearance. Colour affects how you feel too. The right palette can lift your mood, boost confidence and quietly change how you show up.

And honestly, at this time of year, that can make all the difference.

If you’re curious about your colours, or ready to feel more like you in what you wear, I’d love to help.

Forever in blue jeans…but it might be time for a change.

I’ve long been a fan of cargo pants, ever since All Saints made them cool back in the day, so I’m delighted to see them dominating the high street again.

They’re versatile, comfortable, and easy to dress up or down and in a lightweight fabric, they’ll take you right through spring and summer.

They work just as well styled casually as they do dressed up, you could even get away with wearing them in the office.

Think a crisp shirt and loafers, or a simple tee and flip flops for weekend errands.

In shades like khaki, beige and olive, they work beautifully with a pop of colour or keep it simple with a timeless white tee.

The perfect alternative to jeans.

A little summer dress inspiration, organised by colour season.

Because it’s not just about the style, it’s the colour that makes the difference.
When you’re wearing shades that suit your natural colouring, your skin looks clearer, your features more defined, and you don’t have to rely so much on makeup or accessories.

Knowing your colours also makes shopping so much easier, you spend less time browsing and avoid those expensive mistakes we’ve all made.

If you’re not sure which colours work for you, this is exactly what colour analysis is for.

It gives you clarity, confidence, and makes shopping far more considered.

If you’d like help finding your palette, you can find more details on my website via the link in my bio or just drop me a message.

To all the fabulous women I know, and those I don’t,
Happy International Women’s Day.

Today is about celebrating the strength, resilience and achievements of women everywhere, and continuing the call for rights, justice and action for all women and girls.

Through my work with style, I’m reminded how powerful it is when a woman reconnects with herself, her confidence and her sense of identity.

Here’s to women supporting women, today and every day.
