We’ve all heard of the classic white shirt for women, but is a classic white dress fabulous?

Absolutely! Like a great white shirt that can be dressed up or down, a white dress does the same - and then some. It exudes sophistication and elegance and like the white shirt, it transcends seasons and trends. Whether it’s a simple shift dress or a more structured design, a white dress remains fresh and chic for years.

Loving this simple and elegant demi-couture dress from @daniellearmontcouture paired with my flat brocaded slip-ons from @gucci (circa 2018). With heels and a belt, it’s even more fabulous! Stay tuned for that look in an upcoming post!

Are you a fan of wearing white? 🤍

This outfit is definitely one of my happy ones, designed by the beautiful Nadia Bitar @frommykonoswithlove. I picked it up in a little boutique in Santorini while on holiday with my daughter in 2019. I was hesitant to try it on at first, thinking the pants might overwhelm me (I’m 164cm), but with a chunky platform sandal, it works! It’s a one-off piece made from a cotton fabric designed by Nadia herself.
I’m still loving it and wearing it in 2024, here at home in Sydney. 💙

Holiday shopping is such a joy for me! I’m very discerning with my purchases and it’s been so rewarding to have these pieces to cherish, along with the beautiful memories they bring. ✨

I just wish I could remember the name of the boutique in Santorini! I’ll DM @frommykonoswithlove and update the post once I do.

I’m still polka dotting… and not about to stop

I’m still polka dotting… and not about to stop! I’ve just added a new black-and-white polka dot dress to my collection, and I’ll be posting it on IG very soon 😊

It seems I have a slight obsession with black-and-white polka dots, and I’m totally okay with it!
Why? They make me smile every time I see them, and I feel a little bubble of joy every time I reach for one of my polka-dot pieces.
⚫⚪
The word ‘obsession’ often carries a negative connotation, and yes, some obsessions can be harmful. But there are many that enhance our lives. At the top of my list is my obsession with life itself — with living it to the fullest. Fully immersing myself in its joy, rather than just dipping my toe in. Filling every moment to the brim with love, passion, kindness, wisdom, excellence, curiosity, growth... Ahhh, the list of healthy obsessions is long. ❤️

Have you acquired any new obsessions lately? I’m curious! 😊

“Green is the prime color of the world, and that

“Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.”
– Pedro Calderón de la Barca

Green is timeless—a color of quiet sophistication and natural harmony. Whether in the shades of a forest, the hue of new leaves, or the elegance of a tailored green suit, it brings peace, renewal, and beauty.

I love to wear, live in and be surrounded by green every day.

My suit, designed by Daniel Learmont, brings together a stunning design with a bold yet naturally sophisticated color—green.

Thank you Daniel 🍃💚

It’s that time of year—6 weeks to Christmas!

It’s that time of year—6 weeks to Christmas!
Sorry, I had to say it...
I’ve just reached that moment when things aren’t just crazy busy, it’s bordering on chaotic. 😬
I’m gritting my teeth and holding my breath, which, let’s be honest, isn’t great for my health or anyone around me. Then, I remembered, I have a Pause Button and it’s time to press and hold it for a bit.

Years of experience have taught me that the Power of the Pause is crucial, especially at this time of year. To my surprise, in 2024, I’ve found it easier - and even more rewarding, perhaps because I’ve been using the PB regularly. Practice really does make perfect.

Pressing the pause button regularly means you can take a well-deserved breather. It gives you an opportunity to refocus, reset, and take a moment to check in with yourself - how you’re feeling, what you need, and how to prioritise the things that bring you joy, meaning and connection. ❤️

For me, it’s how I reconnect with my inner self and calm the storm around me. Once I press the play button again, I’m able to move forward with deeper mental clarity and a renewed, replenished zest for life. ✨

What makes you press the pause button?

Fun, happy and gorgeous polka dots ⚫⚪

and a little poem composed with a spot of help from Chat 🤭

Polka dots, oh what a sight,
Scattered here, there, and everywhere,
A dotted dance, a dotty spree,
A whimsical world, so full of glee!
In black and white, they boldly show,
Polka dots in every row
From tiny specks to giant rounds,
They’re bouncing, hopping all around!
So if you spot a dot or two,
Know they’re just waiting for you!
To join the fun, to join the spot,
In the polka dot parade, why not?

Claudia 💋

I have a few key rules when it comes to buying fashion and the top two are:

Buy what you love.
Wear it often

After nearly 35 years in the fashion and styling industry, I know how to shop, curate and wear both current pieces and timeless items from as far back as the ‘90s. I believe in mixing old with new to create looks that never go out of style.

As a personal stylist specialising in fashion for women over 50, I’m passionate about helping my clients discover styles that empower them every day—no matter what fashion is trending.
Whether you’re looking for outfit inspo or personalised styling advice, I’d be delighted to share my expertise and experience with you.

I don’t know about you, but I cant’t keep up w

I don’t know about you, but I cant’t keep up with sneaker trends. I swear they are changing daily, if not weekly. I have been wearing sneakers since I was a child and yes the classic Adidas sneaker white with 3 navy stripes was my very first pair. I was 13, the year was 1975 and they were $19.99AUD, which was a substantial amount of money back then. The only reason my mother agreed to them was because they were leather, good for my feet and I promised to clean them myself. I did clean them and my feet are OK 🙂

I wore sneakers as a fashion statement through my teens, then switched to loafers and brogues in my early 20s. It wasn’t until the 2000 that I returned to the sneaker game, treating myself to a pair of white Gucci sneakers with red and green accents while traveling in Europe. I spent about $300 on them and they were absolutely worth it—but I haven’t gone down that high-end road since.

Now, when I buy new sneakers, comfort is a must. If they’re not comfortable, what’s the point? Then it’s all about colour (white, mostly) and style—though I don’t follow trends. I need to love them and they have to work with my feet and whatever I’m wearing that day. 👟✨

So, could I live without sneakers? Not a chance. 💁‍♀️

Do you love wearing sneakers as part of your everyday look, or are they strictly for the gym, a run, or tennis?

Curious how to style sneakers with almost anything?
Whether you’re into classic white sneakers or something bolder, there’s a way to make them work with any outfit at any age.
