Style Tips:

• Super Casual: with activewear and cool kicks for school drop and errands.

Bringing It All Together

The beauty of these three jackets is how seamlessly they fit into real life. School runs, coffee catch-ups, weekend errands, casual dinners—they’ve got you covered without requiring overthinking.

The key is to keep things simple:

• Stick to basics you already love.

• Layer with intention, not excess.

• Choose pieces that feel like you.

Effortless style isn’t about having more - it’s about knowing what works and wearing it with confidence. And with these three jackets in your wardrobe, you’ll be ready for whatever autumn brings… in style!

HOT TIP: the funnel neck jacket is IN this season. From parachute fabric to suede style, cotton twill to leather looks… I’ll share more tips soon!

2. JEANS I’M WEARING

I got so many Q’s on the jeans I am wearing in the above image - they are an older style I cut off to be cropped! BUT good news, I’ve done the research for you and found 10 fab pairs of straight leg, cropped jeans.

Shop Cropped Jeans »

PS - if you want the raw edge (like mine) - simply grab a pair of fabric scissors and cut the hem off the exact same length for each leg. Then wash the jeans, and they’ll be a perfectly raw edge, ready to wear!

HOT TIP: One of the pairs of jeans in the above image - are just $50!! Can you guess which one?! Tap here to find out »

3. WHAT I BOUGHT

I love accessories, particularly great sunglasses. I recently bought this style as an update to my tortoise-shell aviators (I’ve worn endlessly!). They are a smaller frame and not as heavy, and a great price!

Shop my sunnies »

They also come in black, rose, and khaki frames… this brand also do incredible jewellery, and I love the quality - I live in their earrings! Also perfect for gifting. Shop »

Wearing the sunnies with another recent purchase, this blue dress… it’s sooooo pretty! I’ve styled it for Autumn by layering a fab blazer and silver flats.

4. SUIT WHAT I’D BUY

I’ve shared items I’ve bought, love, wear... But something I have my eye on - is this rust colour suit. I know I’d wear it as a set but also as seperates. I adore the colour, the fit, the structure - and the best part… both items are on SALE!!! Shop the blazer »

Shop the trousers »

HOT TIP: AJE has always been one of my favourite Australian brands. The fabrics, prints, tailoring, attention to detail… it’s really special. AND they have so many other styles in the sale, up to 40% OFF! So many fab finds…

5. BEAUTY TIP

I spend A LOT of time in sun, I’m not going to lie!! I lather in sunscreen and always wear a hat - but I also love a tan... FAKE tan that is! After trial (and error!) with a few brands, I have come to a favourite - and it’s Made in Australia yay!

Spring is oh-so close, and that means warmer days and wearing lighter colours! This week we finally got sunshine in Sydney after weeks of rain, and I couldn’t wait to pull out white jeans!! I styled them with chocolate tee and coat (must-have colour this year!) and fun snake print flats:

SHOP my outfit »

I always recommend light colour pants as a Spring wardrobe essential... It could be cream trousers, white linen pants, or ivory jeans! They are the perfect item to feel fresh after wearing dark colours and jeans all Winter.

I also got lots of request for snake shoes. Mine are old but I’ve found a fabulous pair, available in all sizes… Snake flats »

I also found fab boots, bags and a belt... Snake is a neutral! Shop SNAKE »

2. Trousers $59.90!

When I shared these on Instagram earlier this week I got so many comments (tap to watch) - with many followers saying they already own these, and more than one pair!

I can confirm they are so incredibly soft to wear, have 7% elastane for a lovely amount of stretch and comfort, and are ideal for cool casual trousers. And they come 5 colours, and size XXS-XXL! Tap to SHOP »

I’ve styled them with this 100% cashmere crew neck knit, it’s just $129.90 and I love that it’s fine enough to tuck in and wear under jackets. Comes in 10 colours! SHOP »

3. Barrel Jeans

I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of ‘barrel jeans’… this week I shared two pairs I ordered from The Iconic, the more popular pair were the ‘GIGI’ Jeans, see below:

I definately like the more cropped style - showing ankle breaks up all the fabric and is ideal for warmer Spring weather. The GIGI barrel jeans also come in six other colours, some on sale! Tap to SHOP »

4. Stripe Pants

Last May 2024 I shared a video with navy stripe pants for $79 from Forever New… and it now has over 7k comments!

WARDROBE GO-TO ITEMS!

{4:18min}

One of the most common questions Shannon and I get from women and wardrobe dilemma’s = is cool-casual outfits. Looks that are quick to put together and can go from school drop, to work, to groceries, to kids sport, etc! Here are her top items she recommends for go-to pieces:

1. GOOD JEANS! That fit well and are comfortable, you’ll have these for years. Shannon’s fav pair » My top picks »

2. KNITWEAR. “You don't need to iron it, looks elevated, and you can bring in some colours”. Love this tip from Shannon, and agree it can be a great way to add a pop of colour to your winter outfits. SHOP coloured knits! »

3. A GREAT BLAZER… I couldn’t agree more - a blazer is that ‘throw-on-and-go’ item that takes an outfit from drab… to fab - in an instant! Shop 10 fab blazers »

SPORTLUXE LEISUREWEAR TIPS

{6:05min}

It’s cold, sometimes muddy, and often early morning starts! We share some fab tips for staying stylish (and warm!) on the sidelines…

1. A GREAT COAT » instantly elevates you activewear! Throw on your leggings, jumper and sneakers, and add a beautiful warm long coat. Try camel or grey over black activewear… and add a cap for bed hair! Shop GREY coats » NEUTRAL coats » COLOURED coats »

2. STRIPE PANTS » Is the coolest alternative to leggings or trackies. There are so many options available - just add a chunky knit or hoodie, sneakers and oversized coat. SHOP stripe pants »

SHANNON’S FAV BRANDS

{8:04min}

Scanlan Theodore, Kivari, and Saba - which I also adore for work wear, knits and suiting. I also love the fits for petite! Here is the link to the 100% wool trench coat I mentioned - TAP to shop »

Other brands Shannon loves includes Witchery, Country Road, and Seed Heritage.

WINTER SHOES & COATS - MUST-HAVES!

{9:25min}

Shannon’s tips for shoes for Winter - boots and sneakers. Wear the boots to dress up outfits, or style with sneakers to dress down a look.

BOOTS: If I was to recommend one pair of boots for Winter - I would say a black pair. It’s the most versatile colour whether it’s ankle or knee highs, heels or flats. It’s also a great time to shop boots as many of them are on sale in July! SHOP black boots »

SNEAKERS: And to dress down casual style, sneakers are a must! It could be plain white to go with everything… SHOP white sneakers » OR have fun with colour and stripes. It’s hard to own just one pair of kicks when they are so comfy and practical! SHOP coloured sneakers »

COATS: Are an investment for Winter but so important for staying warm! If you could only get one colour, I would recommend grey or a neutral. Shop GREY coats » Shop NEUTRAL coats »

Or you want to add some fun to your Winter style, try a colour like Burgundy, Khaki or even Navy! Shop COLOURED coats »

It was so fun to chat with Shannon, she is so lovely and a world of knowledge - we could talk all day! Follow her via Instagram @livingforstylesydney.

I’ll have another guest very soon on my podcast, and a new blog dropping next week with lots more fab Winter fashion tips!

Happy styling,

P xx

I would say a NEUTRAL colour is my top pick. I live in my tan trench coat in transeasonal weather through Autumn and Spring, and then switch to my tan wool blend coat for Winter. Going back through my Instagram you will see me styling these coats over and over the past three years - but prior to that it was a different shade… scroll down to find out more!

3. TAN COAT

It’s just the perfect shade to go with other colours and prints, looks sophisticated for work style and evening outfits, and is timeless! Try a lightweight trench, perfect for layering, or opt for a wool blend heavier coat. I love a waist tie as it cinches and gives you shape. I also love a structured shoulder as this makes it easier to wear it dressier. Tap to SHOP »

Shop TAN coats >>

2. GREY COAT

Five years ago I invested in a grey coat, see below (a birthday gift to myself!). It felt like such a splurge at the time, but I’ve worn it through four Winters! Yes premium quality can cost more, but it’s 100% Australian wool it is SO warm, breathable, and has lasted for years. It no longer comes in grey but does come in black, tan (woohoo!) and a few other shades… and is worth every $!! Tap for COAT »

Shop GREY coats >>

3. COLOURED COAT

Already own a neutral colour coat? Or just want something a bit different? Why not try a coloured coat!! It can be a soft blue or bright berry, and can add so much fun to your Winter outfits. Everytime I wear this blue coat (below) I get stopped in the street!

I keep the rest of the outfit simple, understated - but alwayes feel so FUN in a colour! I found a gorgeous style below, with fabulous button down detail at the side and back seams (LOVE!), is 50% wool - and it’s on sale! Tap to SHOP »

Blue not for you? I get it, I’ve found plenty of other shades, from red to burgundy, khaki to navy! Here are a few other styles I’ve shared over the years for colour inspo… Tap to SHOP »

Two beauty products I use daily

This video got a lot of love on my Instagram - maybe because I introduced it as “tips from a non-beauty expert” haha! It’s true, I am very basic when it comes to beauty products and stick to the same items for years - but that’s why I thought I’d share what I use!

penelope_styling

A post shared by @penelope_styling

So the two products I swear by are…

1. DRY shampoo! But the powder version, it lasts SO much longer and is super soft in my hair. I use it daily to add volume and take out any grease. I have really fine hair, and it’s the best (and I’ve tried a lot!!). Tap to shop »

2. TRINNY lip glow.. It gives the perfect amount of ‘tint’ and soft colour to your lips, while keeping hydrated, and I love how the pods stack, its so clever for storage and they fit in any handbag! Tap to shop »

I love the Trinny range, both the makeup and skincare... and now that it’s in Australia you no longer have to wait weeks for it to ship from the UK. It’s on your doorstep a few days after you order… and once you get one pod, you’ll get hooked and want more!

Shop Trinny products >>

ADD texture…

Earlier this week I shared a podcast talking through sharing my TOP 3 TIPS for your Winter wardrobe. You can listen here »

One of my tips was to add something new… and snake print is SUCH a great way to do this, without spending a fortune! Some of the items I have found are under $50, including a handbag and great belt. Don’t own it? Try it! Tap to shop »

Shop Snake >>

THREE knits + TWO trousers = FIVE outfits!

I posted these outfits today, and can tell you now these items are such a steal. A great pair of relaxed jeans, black trousers, and three soft knits - and they are all under $100! I add in a few accessories, and create five outfits… Tap to shop »

I hope you enjoyed my tips and fab finds for the week! Next week I’m heading out to stores and will be researching coats, knits… and scarves. Or if you have something you want me to share - comment below!

Have a fab weekend,

P xx

Flip your wardrobe… Now don’t freak out, I don’t mean the everything… just a re-jig! Get your high Summer items - linens, shorts, frocks, sandals - and anything that can’t be layered for cold weather. Move these to the back of your wardrobe, the kids closets, or hubby’s! THEN move your Winter items front and centre.

NOW you clearly have in front of you the pieces that create a variety of looks... and you’ll get ready quicker because you can put together outfits easier!

TIP NO. 2

Create a shopping list. By doing a re-jig of your wardrobe, you also get a refresh on what you own… and what your missing! Write down 3-4 items you may need, and then when you go to shop in store on online - you will now be more direct going to those exact items. Save time, shop smarter!

TIP NO. 3

Try something new! It doesn’t have to be five completely new things - just one item can change up the way you style outfits, and refresh you look! Add a new shade to your wardrobe like rich burgundy, luscious choc, or warm khaki.. or add print like snake or leopard.. or try texture like a woven belt or lace skirt!

Even in the coldest Winter months, you can still be playful and have fun with fashion! Scroll down for style inspo and shopping links…

Add Burgundy

A warm coat, chunky scarf, or cool kicks…

Shop Burgundy >>

Add Khaki

Casual style trousers, a cosy knit, or cool jacket…

Add Snake

MEET LYDIA

Lydia is a self-confessed jewellery fiend and accessory queen. After co-founding GIMME in 2017, she officially took over the brand in 2023… relaunching it just weeks before giving birth to her second bubs (superwoman, right?!). Since then, she’s grown GIMME by 400% in a year!

GIMME’s mission is to deliver high-quality, classic and on-trend designs at an inclusive price point. But more than that - Lydia wants accessories to uplift you. Whether it's a claw clip or a killer earring, GIMME pieces are made to boost confidence and complete your outfit.

You’ve probably seen GIMME popping up in ELLE, Broadsheet, Mamamia. As well as worn by Aussie style icons including Holly Kingston, Leigh Campbell along with international celebs including drum roll… Katie Perry! And make sure you follow the GIMME Instagram page for the happy vibes - Lydia is so clever with her posts and videos, they are SO catchy and so fun!

MY GIMME PICKS

Here are a few GIMME goodies I wear and love, starting with the Gimme Coffee cap… this sold out wihtin days of launching, and I managed to grab one and have worn it all Summer! TAP to shop »

The LISA heart earrings are one of the best sellers! Get both the silver and gold pair as a bundle (save $20!) and hen you can mix’n’match the gold hearts on silver hoops, or vice versa… or wear them as just the hoops with no heart. The most verstaile earrings eva! TAP to shop »

TAP the video below to see how I’m wearing the LISA heart earrings:

I also have the ALLEY earrings in gold, I love how these are a smaller, easy to wear stud - but it honestly is so hard to choose there are so many gorgoeous styles, beautiful bling, and fun caps to choose from!

SHOP all Gimme >>

STYLING TIPS

Add a cap - It instantly adds personality to an outfit AND is ideal for bad hair days!

Go bold - A statement earring can do wonders for a simple outfit. Chunky shapes are making a huge come back, and are perfect to take an outfit from drab to fab!

Statement - Keep it to one statement piece for the perfect look. If you're going big with earrings, go lighter on the necklace - or vice versa. Let one piece shine!

Layered - Mix chains with pendants or pearls for a high/low look thats modern and super chic!

H&M FAB FINDS

You can hear by my reaction (and see my suprised face!) when Lydia says her grey vest and matching trouser are H&M - they are such fab finds!! I honestly thought they were high end brand, they are such a steal! I’m also a HUGE fan of H&M, you can get so many great items - and many under $100… here a few of my favs I saw recently! TAP to shop »

Can’t wait for you to hear this episode - it’s packed with Lydia’s brilliant tips, fun stories, and a reminder that accessories can be such a great way to take an outfit from drab... to FAB!

Happy Styling,

And if your willing to take it to the next level, GO there! Suede jackets, skirts and even trousers are so chic. I shared two STUNNING faux suede jackets this week - one an oversized blazer, and the other a cute cropped bomber. I love them both and will have them on high rotation the next 6 months!! TAP to shop »

Another little trend I shared in my podcast (TAP to listen ») popping up this year that relates to suede - is boat shoes! Along with polo style tops, stripe knits, and classic straight jeans… The ‘boater’ trend is coming ashore…

These are under $100 but currently 40% off! TAP for boat shoes »

1. White Vest: this is back in stock! It is such a winning top to wear smart casual to work style. And the best part… no tucking in! Size 6-20, and comes in white or black (size up as it’s a smaller fit). TAP to shop »

2. Dark Jeans: Perfect as we transition to the cooler months! Dark denim can also be dressed up (more than lighter denim), with blazer/heels etc... I loooove these jeans, and the 2% elastane gives so much stretch and comfort! And half sizes. TAP to shop »

3. Faux Suede Jacket: Obsessed!! Suede is by far one of the biggest trends for 2025, along with shades of ‘mocha’. And this blazer ticks all the boxes! I will be living in this through Autumn Winter. And it’s under $150! TAP to shop »

4. Lace Skirt: It’s a trend coming in hot in tops, skirts and dresses! My tip? Stick to black as it’s so sophisticated. I’ve worn this skirt with black sandals and a tank (watch here) as well as a belted with a black blazer (watch here)… and I can’t wait to wear it with boots in Winter! Tap to shop »

5. Burgundy Bag: I splurged on this designer bag while I was in New York over 10 years ago… but I still love it just as much as the day I bought it! A coloured bag is variety to your outfit... And I’ve got some fab options for burgundy bags, starting at just $79! TAP to shop »

ASK PENELOPE! Q & A

I share so many tips and things I love, but I also love to help clients and followers via DM for specific items they are on the hunt for too! With the approval of this follower, here is this week’s Q:

A: I jumped at the chance to help this follower, particularly as it’s really specific - AND when it’s a style that is coming in hot right now!!

Yes, the crop jacket and ‘cardigan’ styles are popping up everywhere, and a great to buy-now-wear-now for so many reasons. TAP to shop »

• Perfect to layer and for transeasonal weather

• A great option instead of a blazer or trench coat

• Ideal for petite and short in the torso as it’s not long and too much fabric

• Can be dressed down with jeans, or dressed up with trousers and midi skirts

• Here are a few fab finds - starting from just $34.95!

Splurge VS Steal

A black boucle jacket is an item you’ll own and love for years…. Splurge on the designer Dolce & Gabbana style (over $6k!) or snap up this STEAL for under $90, and it comes in size XS-XXL. TAP to shop »

AND I have an amazing guest, FiFi Milne - also known as @shopwithfifi. I met her at an event back in April 2023 and we’ve been chatting fashion ever since!

FIFI’S FAB TIPS

She is a world of knowledge! She is a must-follow on Instagram and subscribe to her newsletter. I love the tips she shared during our chat:

• FiFi’s numero uno shopping tip: always try on outfits with shoes - “You’re not going out with barefeet”! So always try items with shoes to get the complete look.

• FiFi’s thoughts on skinny jeans: get rid of the old pairs you used to wear, but be aware they are slowly coming back but with a different look #watchthisspace

• FiFi’s tips for new jeans: the barrel leg! It’s the modern jean shape that has been ‘lurking’ for a while… and now filtering down into high street brands and everyday style. See links below to shop the look!

Cerese Life $129.99 | Rolla’s $139.95 | Witchery $179.00

MY TIPS TO SHOP JEANS

1. ALLOCATE TIME: and just shop jeans!! Allocate at least an hour, 2-3 key shops for your ideal size and budget, and don’t be distracted by other items, sale racks, etc. JUST shop jeans and you will try on more styles & sizes - and a better chance of finding the best fit!

2. COMPLETE THE LOOK: Wear items you would regularly outfit with jeans, eg if you love a tshirt and sneakers, wear that, or if you love heels take them with you! Style the whole outfit so you know how the jeans will look & feel.

3. WEAR A DASH OF MAKEUP: It lifts your mood and motivation to try on jeans - in those tiny change rooms and terrible lighting. A dash of blush and mascara makes you feel less washed out and more ‘styled’ for the day.

4. GET TWO SIZES: In the one style when your going to the change room OR shopping online! Your less likely to give up quickly if one style one size doesn’t fit, or there is no shop assistant to help,

5. HALF SIZES: You may find you are in between two sizes, so consider brands that do half sizes. I love Levi’s and find the store staff so helpful - they specialise in denim, have SO many fits & lengths, and the staff know the product so well.

6. SHOPPING ONLINE: Have a measuring tape handy! Often brands will share the 3 key measurements that will help you work out the best fit/length - the inside leg, front rise, and leg opnening. See my video above to watch my tips!

7. ELASTANE: This adds stretch. So if jeans are 100% cotton they be a more rigid fit and feel, but if they have 1-2% elastane, and even a dash of nylon, they have more stretch. MY TIP = I highly recommend 1% elastane, it’s the perfect amount!! eg. Levi’s wedgie.

It’s also the PERFECT way to inject colour into your wardrobe - without being too ‘hot’ and bright. It goes beautifully with black, charcoal, navy, olive, mocha - as well as and all the neutral and creamy lighter shades.

This luscious hue is rich and sophisticated, and so wearable particularly as we head into cooler months. Consider shades of cherry in a soft knit, relaxed trousers, chic boots, or a patent bag… OR do it in an entire outfit in tonal shades! Here’s inspo I shared on my Insta last week:

By dressing investments with fab finds, you can create stylish outfits and chic looks, without investing in every single item. And to help - I’m sharing some of my fab finds this week. All items are new season styles, stylish, versatile - and all under $100!

All these outfits are at H&M - a brand I love to shop but I know can be very overwhelming when visiting a store or online. They have soooo much stock, so many options, and fabric can be hit & miss. I shared a video this week on Instagram with some helpful tips when shopping H&M »

10 items under $100 >>

SHOPPING TIPS

• Try to get in at the start of the season - when the store is all set up beautifully with new stock, full size ranges, and the best items (before they sell quick!)

• Get two sizes in an item - if you are in-store take both sizes to the change room as there is often no assistants to help, OR if you’re shopping online get two sizes in one item - your more likely to keep one in the correct size than send it all back… and H&M have quick delivery and easy returns!

• My fav H&M items - the jeans! There are so many styles and colours, as well as petite, curvy, maternity options. They also have fab midi skirts (great for work style), fine knit tops for layering (always a stripe option!). Plus great trench coats in Autumn and puffers jackets & heavy coats for Winter.

I’ve shared my top 10 items above, but I’ve also got lots of other great picks from H&M - but be quick as the good items always sell out fast! TAP to shop »
