Hello fashionistas
I have been a busy bee styling and shopping for clients lately in stores a lot and I wanted to share some looks and finds I have spotted while out and about.
If you know me, you will know I am currently obsessed with chocolate brown.Partly because it is such an incredibly versatile colour to wear — it goes with just about every single fashion or classic combination there is. It is fresher and softer than its counterpart, black.
Not sure brown suits you? You don’t need to wear it close to your face. Wear it as a bottom, or lean into your accessories. Brown near the jaw isn’t for everyone — brown on your feet, your bag, your belt? That’s for everyone.
I personally bought the Sweet Peas boot (am obsessed with the cowboy silhouette) and I currently have my eye on the Trenery mock croc loafers – please let me have the strength to resist these! I also have the animal print scarf from Zara which, bonus, has silk in it.
Here I have created a choc brown & blue combo, blue is very on trend right now. Each week I’ll show you how to combine chocolate with another colour.

that works every time
A rich chocolate brown grounds any outfit. Pair with blue, from pale sky to deep denim and you have something that feels effortless and completely current.

the golden rule
You don’t need to wear chocolate head to toe. One choc piece – a blazer, a boot, a bag – is enough to anchor the whole outfit. Let the blue do the lifting.
THE ACCESSORIES
scarves · zara
Animal Print Silk Scarf
Has actual silk in it, worth every cent. Ties the whole choc story together.

Worn loose at the neck
Fold in half diagonally, loop loosely.
bags · chocolate
Chocolate Suede Tote
The quiet-luxury bag moment. Unstructured, generous, no fuss. Works with the blue jeans better than anything.
belts · espresso
Clarissa Wide Belt · Espresso
The gold hardware detail makes it feel rich rather than rustic. Cinch over the blazer, instantly more intentional.
