At home elegance!

Embracing at-home elegance isn't just about looking good - it's about feeling fabulous and confident every single day!

Getting dressed up when you're not leaving the house can often feel unnecessary, so for those of us in a world where the lines between work, leisure, and home life have blurred, carving out a stylish yet comfortable look for yourself is more essential than ever. 

Even if we're not working from home, friends or family will often contact us on Facetime etc. We're not as invisible as we used to be! 

Let's infuse our day-to-day life with a splash of elegance. Nothing complicated just a few easy tweaks and you could transform 'just another day at home' into a chic graceful experience upping your confidence levels and having some fun!

And it may be shallow to admit it, but I'm not yet ready to put 'sensible' completely ahead of looks! 

Fashion meets function!

With the colder months stretching before us like a long snowy landscape, warmth becomes not just a luxury, but a necessity—especially when heating prices have decided to skyrocket! But no worries, it's quite easy to pair style with snugness!

Let's redefine home dressing without sacrificing comfort for style! Wear clothes that make you feel like YOU, garments that are easy-fit and versatile ready to mix and match. Make getting dressed each morning an enjoyable experience!  

The secret to at-home elegance lies in the choice of quality fabrics and timeless silhouettes! Get ready to embrace a look that's modern and breaks away from any idea of the dull grandma sweater! 

Drumroll for the heavyweight champions of fashion: cozy jumpers and tunic tops that wrap you in warmth while caressing your skin with the decadent softness of wool and bamboo fibers. This chic and fashionable vibe ditches the frump and yet it's kind to Mother Nature!

With a relaxed fit, this knitwear has room to layer. Team the vibrant red top with a classic roll neck beneath - warmth with a touch of sophistication.

Planet-friendly bamboo knitwear has become a fashion favorite due to its softness, moisture-wicking, thermoregulating, and antibacterial properties.

Harem Pants - a wardrobe winner! 

When it comes to pants, 'wider can be wiser!'

As wide legged pants are my go-to item for the Summer, it makes sense to look for a warmer alternative and these are just sheer fun!

Embrace the exotic charm of harem pants, a delightful concotion of cultural influences from Arabia to Africa. Wide-legged pants transition seamlessly into a roomier silhouette with a playful attitude, pulling influences from cultures as rich as a tapestry. These pants are a delightful mingling of comfort and character.  

Every figure find it's match within the myriad of shapes and styles. Transform that summer staple into warm winter elegance with the exotic charm of harem pants that offer both flair and comfort without a hint of compromise on style 

Beautifully soft and ultra-comfortable, the harem pants here are made in a soft heavyweight acrylic which feels like wool and has a comfy stretch waistband. The pants fall softly to the drawn in ankle, minimizing the hips just like a wide leg pant.

For a classic fit choose a high crotch. Something different? Choose a mid or low crotch and go as wide and as wild as your dare!

Facial Finale: Hair and Makeup Magic

Your face always takes center stage no matter what you're doing! It's YOU people are addressing! 

Managing your hair and makeup is part of your 'look' whether on a Zoom call or when you're greeting the postman with a friendly smile.

You don't need a full-on runway look, but a natural makeup - a dab of moisturizer, a sweep of mascara, and a hint of your favorite lip color can work wonders for your morale.

And don't forget about hair! A simple blowout or a neat bun can instantly refresh your look.

Eye-Catching Eyewear

Specs are more than just a viewing aid; they're an accessory with pizzazz!

The right pair of glasses, especially when they boast an upswept, shinier frame, can serve as a magical frame for your face. 

There's a basketful full of specs in my house but rarely do I have a pair that I enjoy wearing that I can also see through! It’s difficult to choose glasses in a store with time limitations so I was thrilled to hear of a 'try before you buy'!

Read the Warby Parker review and discover how you can select up to 5 frames to test out for 5 days in your own home - and they're shipped free both ways. 

An online quiz helps you pinpoint flattering frames that you can mix, match and mull over your options with your wardrobe. Imagine frames that are not only stylish and high-quality but start at an incredibly competitive $95, inclusive of prescription lenses.

After 5 days pop your package in the mail with the prepaid return label, upload your prescription and they’ll make your brand new glasses specially for you!

There's no doubt that certain colors and styles can make you look younger.

Just as lighter toned hair is often suggested then an upswept frame in a lighter shinier frame is recommended for a mature face too.

Find plenty of style advice to help you choose eyeglasses that suit your personality and lifestyle!

And it's time to switch off!

When it's time to curl up on the sofa with a fur rug and a hot chocolate or glass of wine to hand (well it's always 5 o'clock somewhere), I want to feel laid-back, casual, comfy, warm - and yet still achieve 'at home elegance!  

But it doesn't have to mean a special outfit, this is season to pull out furry blankets, cosy socks and candles!  

Add your snuggly knitwear to whatever you're wearing when you head back to the kitchen for supplies!
