12 Insta-outfit ideas to steal

4th March, 2020

Hello, autumn! The start of a brand new season is a great time to take stock of your wardrobe to see what pieces you need, and also how to refresh your look. The transition to cooler temperatures is the perfect opportunity to embrace textural pieces, layering and also working interesting accessories and punch colours into the mix. Let these looks inspire you…

Love this great mix of tailoring with something soft and feminine. Team a printed skirt with a great jacket or button down shirt and instantly change its look and feel.

Head to toe black doesn’t have to be boring. Incorporate texture such as leather and incorporate finishing interesting finishing touches such as a tie-up detail.

Navy and white is a great go-to colour combination for chic yet comfy lounge wear. Also they’re both pieces that can be incorporated within other looks making them so versatile.

We’re heading into coat season so why not invest in one that is the a vibrant shade to help elevate any winter look? It’s one of my favourite ways to really pull an outfit together and offset any moody colours, which often need a little lift.

I’m a huge fan of gorgeous (faux) fur coats during winter, because not only are they ridiculously warm, they’re also so easy to work back with pieces in my wardrobe. This is one way to do a casual, off duty ensemble while still incorporating the glam element of a gorgeous coat.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9HpS0woP9a/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

This a a great take on man style tailoring. Cinching in the ankles (a micro trend I’ve been seeing at the overseas shows) is such a great way to change up the silhouette of a pair of pants, and worn with a classic blouse and standout accessories, you have yourself a winning autumn/winter look.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9E_eydK-E7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Simplicity is always a great way to go when it comes to transseasonal dressing. Pair your favourite black jeans with punchy accessories in vibrant shades and pieces with a sleek, pared back silhouette and you’re guaranteed to have a winning outfit every time.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B81kFg3gNkR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Neutrals are without a doubt the workhorse of any wardrobe. Not only can they be worked back with myriad pieces but they’re also such a strong look when layered together. Case in point: this blouson sleeved shirt and trousers. So elegant and classic.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9BYx23HHkZ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

If you’ve not got a trench coat in your wardobe, you need to remedy that this season. Not only is a trench a forever staple, it is also one of the most wearable things you can own. Pop it on over any outfit and you will look polished and put together every time.

This outfit is a great lesson in mixing up textures to create a really strong look—and they’re all pieces that most people will have on hand. Denim teamed with textural pieces such as wool and suede will give a richness and depth to an outfit.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8MZQIkge3w/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

You can’t beat the elegance of an all white ensemble, especially when it comes to an off duty look. A chunky sweater and jeans, is the ideal look to cosy up in, while looking chic at the same time.

This is an ultra chic outfit/colour combination to commit to memory for those times when you just want an easy look with minimal fuss. Plus they’re all pieces most people would already have in their wardrobe. A tee, a black skirt and a blazer can also easily be deployed to work with other outfits. A pair of sleek ballet flats is always a worthwhile investment as it can work back with myriad looks and worn with elevated accessories, you could easily wear it to an event (and as a bonus remain comfy on your feet).

Try this for your next event. A blouse and a skirt are always guaranteed to be a winning but to make it a little more glam look for finishes that lift every piece, whether it’s embellishments, frills or a bow.

Summer and all white ensembles are a match made in heaven. A gorgeous white dress is made all the better when paired with on point accessories such as the square toe mules and mini bag. Worked back with a golden glow, it just works beautifully for this time of year.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Nta_8K1rf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Add a small 90s style shoulder bag to a look, whether it be something casual or a dressy dinner. The good thing is this style, unlike the super mini bags of late can actually fit all your essentials quite easily.

Working a colour palette of tones in the same colour family looks sharp. All these earthy shades work together for a sophisticated outfit that’s made for stealing the show at work then making your way to after work drinks.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ilDjdpG8O/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

A simple t-shirt dress is one of the greatest loungewear options around because it is so unbelievably comfortable. It’s also a blank canvas so you can easily change up its look and feel with the right accessories.

It’s always great when you can see a closet staple being reworked so easily, but it resulting in a look that feels fresh and new. So this summer, grab your fave denim jacket and belt it. It’s such an easy way to instantly turned tired, well worn pieces into something more.

12 Insta-outfit ideas to steal

11th November, 2019

A little outfit inspo never goes astray especially as we emerge from spring and head into summer and party season. And this month, it’s all about casual looks that have loads of polish and look effortless. From tailored shirts to high waisted trousers and classic basics, it’s about unfussy outfits that still look next-level. Prepare to have your wardrobe sorted for the coming weeks.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1UGENfBt7Z/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

A skort is a great hybrid of the key summer staples of a skirt and shorts. You can elevate this casual item by adding a tailored shirt and pairing it with a pair of dressy slides.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2MPi_TI5nc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The formula for a great look involves keeping things simple but having a few interesting additions to keep your outfit from looking pedestrian. It’s time to give the humble white tee a workout and pair it with your fave summer skirt, a ladylike bag and the ever reliable white sneaker.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1WoF5Hh9j-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Commit this outfit combination to memory: singlet, printed skirt and slides. Work this look in a number of ways by switching up colours and prints but ultimately it’s an outfit that’s guaranteed to work any time.

Tailored pieces which look a little dressy can be extended in smart casual wear by pairing with a simple white tank and sleek accessories. This is one way to work neutrals in a striking way.

Invest in a bright and billowy maxi dress and live in it all summer. This dress style can work for the beach to brunch so you’re guaranteed to get plenty of use out of it.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2n9m39H9Nu/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The simple lines of this dress make it a style chameleon. Worn dressed up with heels or dressed down with sandals, it can easily transition according to the occasion.

Statement tops are the best way to dress up your fave jeans. Choose a fun print and instantly watch your go-to denim come to life.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Nr37FlQgb/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Don’t be afraid to contrast pieces. This pleated skirt and cropped jacket and tank balances a masculine/feminine aesthetic to great effect and makes traditionally classic pieces look a little more edgy.

Find a pair of high waisted khakis this summer and you’ll live in them non-stop in the coming months. Pop on a blazer and pair it with sneakers and a tank for a look that can easily go from work to play quite seamlessly.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2pKdwXobH5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Adopt the bermuda short into your wardrobe this summer to instantly update your look. They’re also great option for those who want a little more coverage when it comes to shorts.

Yes you can wear sequins during the day! This sequinned jacket looks daytime appropriate when paired with shorts and boots but can easily give any evening ensemble some va va va voom.

A polished look that plays with volumes. A roomy blouse paired with tailored pants with a cinched waist is a flattering silhouette.

A classic trench is perfect for taking you through trans-seasonal weather but take note of the 90s inspired accessories. A small shoulder bag and open-toe sandals are both musts this season.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2S7UPBnzRE/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

When it comes to dresses, the long sleeved variety is the ideal thing to take you through changing temperatures. Choose one in a striking print and you’ll have an outfit that pretty much carries itself.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2d_Td7ILqw/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Experiment with different lengths when it comes to denim shorts this season. A pair of mid length shorts makes for a refreshing change to the shorter styles we’ve been seeing season after season.

Slowly, I started to heal my soul- and give myself the self-care I needed. And eventually I had some breakthrough aha moments that lead me to roll out a content strategy that CHANGED THE GAME FOR ME. Would you believe me if I told you these simple shifts helped me grow my account 100k in over one year? Would you believe me if I told you I feel more proud of my art and the network/community I’ve built than ever before? // I WANT THIS FOR YOU TOO!!!!! // That’s why I wrote this FREE workshop for you!

An all white ensemble is a fashion no-brainer—sleek, stylish and goes well against a golden (faux) tan so it’s made for this time of year. Work different necklines such as a one shoulder or off the shoulder style for a fresh look and team it back with pants.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B3KujeupX4A/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Want a way to revamp a few of your existing blazers? Belt it! You’ll instantly change the silhouette and make it look on trend, whilst giving yourself an ultra flattering waistline.

Double denim for the win. Work similar washes against each other and it brings cohesion to the entire look. A cropped jacket works well against a high waisted pant.

These culottes are a great go-to look for the summer—polished, sleek and with a modern sensibility. This is also a great example of challenging how we wear leather— it can often go beyond just the old faithful option of a leather jacket.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B240VjQncq5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

If you’re worried wide leg pants will swamp your frame try them in a cropped length. They look beautiful paired with a blouse and heels, and don’t be afraid to add a bright pop of colour.

Ending fashion week in my favourite @_aje_ mini

A post shared by Izi Simundic (@izisimundic) on

It’s all about playing with proportions this season. If you want to dip your toe into the trend, try a voluminous sleeve.

A crisp white shirt is a forever staple but this season why not accentuate it with a few punchy accessories? A bold headband or daring footwear works beautifully to offset its classic feel.

The cardigan but make it sexy. That’s right this staple has had a bit of a glow up simply by buttoning it up and exposing a little shoulder. Genius.

12 Insta-outfit ideas to steal

9th September, 2019

We’ve officially welcomed spring and that means warmer days ahead! I love this time of year as it means it’s almost time to put into hibernation my winter woolies for another year and it’s time to embrace some easy breezy fashion. However it also means that we’re still poised to navigate the dreaded trans-seasonal weather up ahead so it’s time to bear in mind looks that will work for warm days and slightly cooler nights. With that in mind, here are a few stylish looks that are worth copying and pasting into your own wardrobe.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1mZ0y6hiJr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

A crisp white shirt is a wardrobe must-have but it can sometimes seem a little too formal. So, why not dress it down a little by tying it up? Worn this way, it’s easily worn with everything from shorts to skirts.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B01DDrWJRXn/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Never underestimate the power of a striped shirt! You can utilise long sleeved shirts during trans-seasonal weather by pairing it with a skirt or lightweight pants for the ultimate in looks that will work through a range of temperatures.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BzQ-ehAi5ig/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Want an easy way to update any outfit? Invest in a straw/basket bag. It’s very of the moment and will work perfectly over the next few months of light dressing.

If you own a pair of strappy sandals this is one way to inject some new life into it. Try tying the straps around your pants for a fun way to give it some freshness.

Sequins during the day? Why not! This is a perfect example of how to work traditionally night time appropriate pieces and dress them down to wear during the day. Find your most fabulous dressy pieces, pair them with a tee and you’re set.

Embed this in your mental styling files as it’s another great trans-seasonal look. Pants and a long sleeved shirt worn back with slides is a polished autumn look that’s still weather appropriate.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1T5fPGhhv1/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

A jumpsuit is such an easy outfit option, as much like a dress, you don’t have to worry about having to match tops and bottoms. Also the addition of a pair of high top trainers makes it an unexpected look that works dressy and casual.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0dumkFJJF6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Don’t pop your boots into storage just yet. A white top and denim cutoffs worn with boots is one way to dress up a casual look and give it a bit of an edge.

A knitted co-ord set is a great example of textural play at work. It looks dressy but is also lightweight enough to work through spring/summer. Plus you can easily wear both pieces as separates, increasing their versatility.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0LTB_XFy8C/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The bermuda short is back! If you’re after a bit more coverage this summer but also want to be bang on trend, incorporate one of these into your wardrobe.

A bit of double denim action is one way to wear this most versatile of fabrics. Plus the cropped denim jacket is a different way to wear one of my go-to pieces for this time of year.

If there’s one thing that you can never have too much of it’s outfit inspiration. I know that when faced with a morning wardrobe meltdown on occasion, there’s no better lifeline than having a quick scroll through some great looks to get the styling juices flowing. And no matter your style, if there’s one thing that Instagram is not lacking for, it’s a plethora of stylish women who seriously know how to put an outfit together. So prepare to bookmark these looks—they’ll save you the next time you think you have to nothing to wear.

A little neutral on neutral is always a classic, failsafe outfit option. Love the play on volume with this look, incorporating a voluminous blouse and sleek pencil skirt.

Sometimes all an outfit needs to energise it is a few fun accessories. Denim can instantly be lifted with bold pops of colour and some great prints.

Don’t be afraid to turn suiting on its head — cropped pants, a patterned blazer and on trend accessories instantly make it up-to-the-minute.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0gPiCkIDJ5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Working with a single colour in your outfit can make for a standout look. In this instance working one block hue with a pattern distills the shade into something that’s striking without being overwhelming.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDiINBgqZc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Blazers are a wardrobe must but why not mix it up by opting for one in a vibrant colour and adding it to your style repertoire? It’s an easy way to update most looks and always looks polished.

Beige and white paired together is a match made in heaven. It’s sharp, chic and always has a classic feel. It’s a great colour palette to turn to when you want a failsafe look.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0fpIRQBLvf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Tailored pants worked back with heeled thongs (the unexpected comeback kid of the season!) is a sleek, on trend look with an effortless vibe. You want to bookmark this combination for future reference.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz5GVWBhj_7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

We’ve still got another month of winter yet so make the most of it by dressing up your outfits with a bold, patterned coat. It’s an easy shortcut to refreshing old favourites.

A little satin and a co-ord set is an easy shortcut for when you want a look that’s effortlessly stylish. Also take note: wearing the same hue from top to bottom is a great way to elongate the body.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ByxD-GJpTf0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

We’ll be making our way into trans-seasonal dressing again and one way to get through it is to do a long sleeved dress with boots. It’s a look that can easily take you from warm to cool and back again with ease.

If you haven’t yet got an animal print piece in your wardrobe make a point of doing so because it can surprisingly work as a neutral. It’s versatile in that it can be dressed up or down and adds a punchy touch to a look.

The midi skirt is one piece that can easily be switched up depending on what you pair it with. Keep it casual with a sweater and sneakers, but dress it up with a cami and slides. Either way, it’s a definite style chameleon.

12 Insta-outfit ideas to steal

4th February, 2019

Who’s looking for some new wardrobe inspo? Now that we’re all fully back into the swing of things—holidays are over, school’s back, work is well underway, it can be the perfect time for a little style injection. So whether you’re looking something to take your office look up notch or a great ensemble to try on the weekend, I’ve rounded up a few outfits that are work bookmarking the next time you feel you’re in a fashion rut.

Mix classic and casual

A printed button down shirt and jeans makes for the ideal effortless and chic outfit that you can wear for myriad occasions.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BtNud-ShCtS/
Go monochrome

A little black and white never goes astray. Try a monochrome palette the next time you’re feeling stuck for an outfit, I guarantee it’s always unfailingly stylish.

Say it loud and proud

A slogan tee always adds a fun element to any look. Whether it’s your favourite brand or a phrase or word you adore, letting your clothes do the talking is a playful take on casual dressing.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BstXQ05nS9g/
Turn up the volume

Neutrals have their place but sometimes you just want to turn up the vibrancy. Prints worked back with a bold, solid colour make for an eye-catching look that’s not over the top.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BoCuAefAQAw/
Keep it simple

Sometimes the best style formulas are still the most simple. A plain tee, with denim shorts and minimalist sandals looks relaxed and effortless.

Go back to basics

Never underestimate the simplest pieces in your closet. A white singlet and shorts is an often utilised combination but when dressed up with an accessory or two such as a belt and a necklace, it’s super stylish.

Clash your prints

You can always call on Olivia Palermo to demonstrate just how amazing clashing prints can be. When trying this look just be sure to have similar colours in each print to allow the look to flow.

Keep it tonal

Add a headpiece

You don’t always have to save headpieces for the races! A great accessory like a statement headband or embellished clips, or even a scarf can turn an ordinary outfit into something more.

Layer up

Whether it’s stacking necklaces or bracelets or earrings, wearing a cluster of jewellery is one way to elevate a look with minimal fuss.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BqcBmSMgtyH/
Try a statement midi skirt

I’m a huge fan of a midi skirt because I think it looks classic and sophisticated. However to avoid it looking too sedate, try one in a great print. Animal print, stripes, polka dots… go forth and embrace a bold pattern.

How to take a good Instagram pic

11th November, 2018

IMG_6140

These days taking a really beautiful photo can be as simple as snapping a pic on an iPhone. I feel Instagram is about beautiful images. The kind that you’d want to put in a photo album or frame. I’m not so big on treating Instagram as a diary but more as a way to collect images that inspire me. I love fashion, I love travel and I love my family, so most of the time my subject matter will be made up of those types of images. You’ll find me capturing images on my phone all the time and this has allowed me to pick up a few tips along the way. I am definitely not an expert photographer but these are some things I’ve learned about snapping an Insta pic that gets likes.

Lighting is everything

Whether it’s a professional photo shoot or a selfie, lighting is key to getting a good shot. If you’re taking a selfie always face a window to get the most flattering light. This is why car selfies always turn out so great.

Take more than one shot

Don’t be shy about taking multiple shots. The odds are you’re going to get a shot that you’ll love. And it’s so easy to do it via your phone now that there’s no excuse not to capture jut the perfect image.

Use the grid function on your phone

Using the grid lines on your phone can help you line up a shot. Often you’ll get a more interesting image by not having everything perfectly in the middle but slightly off centre.

Try different angles 

The flatlay shot has become really popular (a pic taken straight from above) and it just goes to show that different angles can really change the way a shot turns out. Don’t be afraid to take multiple shots from different angles as it’s the best way to ensure that you capture an image from just the right vantage point.

Don’t go too crazy with filters

I love a good filter as much as the next person but sometimes it can take away from the image and make it look too artificial. If you get your lighting and composition right, your photo should be ready to upload to Instagram without any extra help.

What are your best Instagram tips?

A skirt in a bold print is one of my favourite things at the moment simply because of how wearable and easy they are. Just pair one with your favourite tee, cami or sweater and you’ve got yourself a killer look.

Dabble in denim

If you live in denim pretty much all year round then be sure to find yourself a trusty denim skirt to cruise around in over the next few months. A great pencil skirt style like the one above or a classic A-line are both versatile options that will quickly become a fave.

Tie it up

A scarf or bandana fashioned into a headband is the ideal way to keep cool whether you’re heading out for a day of errands or hanging out at the beach.

Bow down

You may not have worn a bow in your hair since primary school but it’s time to break them out again. If you’re looking to turn an ordinary ponytail into something a little more chic, simply tie a bow around it and watch it go from so-so to stylish.

Clash polished and casual

Sometimes it’s good to take two totally different styles and meld them together for a look that’s just a little different. Pair jeans and a tee with upmarket accessories for a look that’s modern with old school appeal.

Turn up the colour

If you have traditionally shied away from a bright colour palette then it’s time to rethink that. Have some fun with colour this season! Think strong and vibrant colours that pop, for a look that perfectly reflects the fun, easy vibe of this time of year.
