How do you stay stylish in winter without sacrificing warmth or practicality?

In this episode of Styling Matters, I’m sharing a considered approach to dressing well in cold weather - even when commuting, long days and freezing temperatures are part of everyday life. From smart footwear swaps to the power of accessories and tonal dressing, this episode focuses on simple styling decisions that help winter outfits feel polished, intentional and effortlessly put together.

In this episode, I cover:

• How to dress practically for commuting, then elevate your look with heeled boots once you arrive

• Why building a rotation of winter accessories - scarves, hats and gloves - instantly refreshes your outfits

• The value of having a varied coat collection to see you through the long winter months

• How tonal dressing can make even the most practical outfit feel chic and considered

As a digital style editor, Styling Matters exists to make everyday styling feel easier and more intuitive. I share thoughtful, wearable advice designed to help you balance real life with a desire to feel stylish; without overcomplicating your wardrobe.

My focus is on practical solutions, editorial insight and guiding you towards a winter wardrobe that works harder for you, all season long.

In this Video Style Edit, I’m chatting through what’s actually worth buying in the Nordstrom January Sales, editing the sale down to the pieces that matter most. Think of this as a real-time style conversation! I’m selecting the strongest options from winter coats, handbags, and boots, and explaining why they’re smart buys right now.

From faux fur and trench-style coats to designer handbags on genuine discount, and boots in flattering pointed shapes , this is a focused January fashion edit for women in the USA who want wearable, stylish pieces - not sale overwhelm that can easily happen at this time of year!

Filmed on 2nd January 2026, prices and availability is as at on that day.

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.
