The holiday season brings invitations, occasions, and moments where we want to feel our best. It can be tempting to believe we need outfit after outfit to meet them. But festive style becomes beautifully simple when we begin with one question: How do I want to feel this season? Luxurious? Romantic? Minimal and modern? Quietly festive? Relaxed yet polished? Once you set that intention, dressing becomes easier—because you're choosing your outfits from the inside out, rather than reacting to what the shops say you should wear. A Thoughtful Festive Core You don't need 20 new pieces. Most women only require a small, intentional core of outfits to carry them through the season: a beautiful knit an elegant blouse tailored trousers a jacket that elevates everything a dress that never lets you down A few well-chosen pieces, styled with intention, can create endless combinations that look refined and confident. A Shift in Colour Changes Everything One of the simplest—and chicest—ways to make an outfit feel festive without buying anything is to shift your colour palette. Sometimes all it takes is: a metallic shoe a velvet blazer a deeper lip colour swapping classic black for navy or cream Tiny adjustments; big impact. Your existing wardrobe instantly feels revitalised. This Week's Free Style Guides To make holiday dressing easier, I've created three beautifully simple mini-guides for subscribers of the Chic Authority Collective: Festive Capsule Starter List The key wardrobe pieces that create elegant looks using what you already own. Festive Colour Palette Mini-Guide Three chic holiday colour stories—beyond the traditional red and green.

A Tiny Style Assignment This week, try something small: Choose one outfit—for work, dinner, or simply your day—and make it feel festive with one shift in colour, texture, or a single accessory. It doesn't need to be dramatic—just intentional. In Closing Festive style should feel like you: confident, comfortable, and beautifully expressed. When you dress for how you want to feel, you show up to every occasion with ease, presence, and quiet confidence. Thank you for listening—and don't forget to join the newsletter to access your festive downloads. Until next time, dress with intention and enjoy every shining moment of the season.     Click here I'm interested

Welcome back to the podcast. Today's episode is one I know so many of you have been waiting for  especially if you've ever stood in front of your wardrobe before a Christmas event and thought, "I have absolutely nothing to wear." We've all been there. But today, I want to show you a different way forward. Because the truth is that you already own the beginnings of a beautiful, intentional, elegant Christmas wardrobe. What most women struggle with isn't a lack of clothes, it's a lack of clarity. And that's exactly what we're diving into today. In this episode, we're exploring the idea of a Christmas Capsule Wardrobe. Why it matters, why it feels so liberating, and why so many well-dressed women swear by it during the busiest, most magical season of the year. We'll talk about the psychology behind looking put together, the emotional power of choosing your outfits in advance, and how your clothes can genuinely change the way you show up at holiday events — not just in how you look, but in how you feel. And of course, I'll share the inspiration behind the Luxe Christmas Capsule Wardroe Workshop — a gentle, luxurious guide to help you shop your own wardrobe, curate outfits for every occasion, and feel effortlessly elegant all season long. So if you're craving more confidence, more ease, and more style this Christmas… you're in exactly the right place. Let's begin.

"Would you like this?" It sounds so generous, doesn't it? A friend, a sister, a neighbour—offering you a bag of clothes with a smile. And yet… beneath that simple question, there's a quiet complexity. In today's episode, we're diving into the emotional layers of being given clothes. The guilt, the gratitude, the obligation—and the surprising opportunity for transformation. We'll explore why accepting someone else's cast-offs can feel so loaded, how to protect your personal style, and when to say a gracious but firm 'no.' Let's talk about responsibility, identity, and curating a wardrobe that's truly yours. This is "Would You Like This?"—and you might never accept a bag of clothes the same way again   Want to work with me?

Welcome back to the podcast! Today, I'm sharing something simple but game-changing that got me through the past two very full-on weeks: planning my outfits in advance. Between intense meetings, a packed workload, and a chaotic home schedule, I knew I needed a little backup—and personal style came to the rescue. Instead of scrambling each morning, I gave myself the luxury of time. I laid everything out in advance of that busy period: clothes on the bed, shoes and accessories on the floor, trying on each outfit so I knew everything fit and felt good. No last-minute sewing kits or frantic mirror moments, just calm, chic confidence every single day. If you've ever wished your mornings felt more put-together or your style felt more intentional, this episode is for you. Let's talk about how planning your wardrobe can be a powerful form of self-care and a beautiful way to express your personal style. And of course, how it links in with the zone of peace.

What if getting dressed wasn't just about fashion — but about intention, identity, and personal power? In this episode, we explore the idea of style as strategy, inspired by one of the most thoughtful and visually powerful women of our time: Michelle Obama. From championing emerging designers to embodying dignity and strength through every outfit, Michelle Obama showed us how style can be used to lead, express values, and stay rooted in who you are, even in the most high-pressure roles. We'll unpack the quote that sparked this conversation, talk about how to define yourself through style, and explore what your own personal style strategy might look like no matter your lifestyle or wardrobe budget. This isn't about copying her look. It's about borrowing her intention. Tune in to discover how to make your wardrobe reflect the woman you're becoming. Want to work with me?

Have you ever reached for the bold coat, the powerful lipstick, the statement piece—only to quietly put it back? Not because it didn't suit you, but because it felt like... too much? In this episode, we're talking about what it means to hit your style ceiling—the invisible limit we place on how fully we allow ourselves to be seen, expressed, and elevated. I'll walk you through the Top Floor concept from the Authority Experience, a powerful framework for understanding where you've been, where you are now, and the woman you're becoming. You'll hear why stepping into that next-level version of yourself starts in your wardrobe—and why it's not about buying more, but choosing differently. Plus: I'll share a beautiful, practical style prompt you can use today to begin breaking through your ceiling and dressing from your future.

From confidence rituals to the subtle power of observing your own behavior, you'll learn how to use this formula to elevate not only your style but your sense of identity. Whether you're a busy entrepreneur, a stay-at-home mum, or somewhere in between, this mindset shift will change the way you show up—starting today.

When I first heard the phrase, 'high value woman' I was intrigued and thought that I, too, might want to be a 'high value woman'. However gradually I realised that this is actually the last thing that I want. And I also realised just how much it might be destroying female friendships both at home and at work.

This week's episode is the beginning of something powerful: The Reset—the first phase of the Authority Experience. In this conversation, I share a story about a friend who's longing to reinvent herself but feels stuck at the very start. Her experience prompted me to look closely at my own journey, and more specifically, at my relationship with the Zone of Peace—a tool I use to gently guide you back to your truest self. I speak honestly about how this zone has brought me clarity and calm, but also how I've struggled to step forward with it. Like many women, I've feared what others might think. I've held back from expressing my full self, afraid of criticism or being misunderstood. This episode is a gentle invitation to come home to yourself, to find stillness before the reinvention begins. Because without that grounding peace, true style and authority can't take root. Ready to take this work deeper?

🎧 Leveling Up: How to Create a Signature Look ✨ Ever wondered what truly sets elegant, well-dressed women apart?
