{style advice} Q: “Courtney, can I still wear skinny jeans?”
A: Which of the below statements feels like you?
1. Being fashionable and on trend is very important to me.
2. I don’t follow trends I stick to a classic timeless look.
3. I like to dip my toe into trends. I’m nervous but I’d like to try.
If you answered 1:
Yer... you shouldn’t be wearing skinny jeans. Try wide, baggy or flare.
If you answered 2:
You enjoy your Paige dark blue skinny jeans gf. You look amazing in them.
If you answered 3:
A good “entry jean” out of skinnies to try is a slim straight cut. My favourite low priced are the Zara High-rise straight jeans $60 (swipe). Then if you love straights you can invest in a more $$ pair next winter.

{style lesson} Introducing tonal dressing. Tonal dressing is the easiest way to instantly elevate any look. All you have to do is pair a top and bottom in the same colour palette. Think about the paint isle in Bunnings. The colours don’t have to be the exact same but they’re in the same “family”- cousins if you will.
To demonstrate my point imagine image one with a black T-shirt. Great outfit but doesn’t have that “styled” factor that the white t does. Feels a lil predictable. I can feel you starting to be confused about a white t with a cream pant. Yes. This is what I’m suggesting. They’re in the same family so it works (think about Bunnings again).
Think about a coloured skirt/short/ pant that you have in your wardrobe. Now go see if you have a top in that same colour palette.
Boom.
Instant elevation.
You’re welcome.

My whole life people always think they’ve met me before. It’s got to the point where I look at over Seve and say “it’s happening again”.
It goes like this:
Lovely Human “we’ve met before”
Me “really? I’m pretty good at faces. I don’t think so”
Lovely Human “what school did you go to?”
Me “St. Stephens, but honestly this happens to me all the time. I must have a really common head”.
Lovely human “no no. We definitely know each other. Do you have a sister?”
And so it goes.
It’s the funniest conversation loop to be in. Does this happen to anyone else?!
Commonly yours,

Hiiieeee. Please book me now and don’t wait until you’re at goal weight. Look I get it. You’re thinking “but I don’t want to waste money on clothes that will be too big soon”. News flash - you’re the size you are. If your goal is to look amazing learn how to dress your body. You don’t need to change your body to look amazing.
What if I told you your body will look insane as it is right now if you dress correctly?
Don’t believe me?
Ask my clients. I haven’t had one wish they lost weight before seeing me. They often wish they saw me sooner.

If I were a Real Housewife this would be my tagline “I love fake specs, tan and hair but not fake people”.
I do bloody love my fake specs from ASOS. It was hard to find ones that weren’t blue light. Just FAKE. Seems there isn’t a big call for them 🤔 🤣
Party of one.

{My favourite Perth boutiques} Guys.. are you a small boutique shopper? It’s my favourite. When you find a store you love you’re absolutely set. The buyer REALLY understands their clients and knows exactly what styles are coming next season. I also love a Instagram purchase. These boutiques post new stock daily so you can run and grab whatever tickles your fancy. And best of all if you become a regular they’ll let YOU know when something comes in that you’ll love. Plus you’ll often receive a discount for being a VIP. AND........most are run by women for women.
Need I say more? Here’s a short list of my favourites. Give them a follow now. Have I missed any you love? Let us all know by commenting below.

Ascher m*ther f*cking Smith . For those who slide into my DM’s asking who is behind my backyard makeover here’s your answer. She’s a creative genius (obviously) but is also amazing at thinking of out the box so the design suits your family’s lifestyle. For those of you that DM to ask if I would recommend her my answer is always HELL YES.
She’s stupid talented and also a completely beautiful human with an amazing family.
Need I say more?

P.S Her Mum and Dad are lovely too. For some reason I think that’s worth a mention.
