My 2025 Style Reset: Practical Fashion, Better Basics & Beauty Routines That Actually Worked | S1E158

2025 has been a year of re-evaluating my style; not in a dramatic, trend-led way, but in a way that actually fits real life.

In this episode of Styling Matters, I’m reflecting on what genuinely worked for my style, beauty routines, and wardrobe this year. From improving my sleep and skincare (and wearing less makeup because of it), to levelling up my basics and embracing practical fashion while raising a puppy, this is an honest look at how my style has evolved.

I’m sharing:

• How using my Oura Ring helped improve my sleep, evening routine, and skin, and why that changed how I show up style-wise

• Why doing my own gel nails at home has been a game-changer for convenience, confidence, and flexibility

• How practical home style, comfy sets, jewellery, and light makeup helped keep my mood positive during a busy year

• Why dressing up for the office again reminded me how much tailoring, coats, bags, and accessories matter

• The importance of investing in better-quality basics - from merino wool polo necks to great t-shirts, and how layering elevates everyday outfits

If you’ve felt like your style has needed to work harder for your lifestyle lately, this episode is a reminder that the right routines, basics, and small upgrades can make a big difference.

No trends. No pressure. Just what actually worked.
