Styling You

Styling You Journalist, turned blogger and content creator. Follow for the outfits, stay for the travel, beauty and meno chats. I'm more confident in my outfit choices.

In 2008, in my early 40s, I left my former career as a journalist and stumbled into this one as a blogger and now content creator. Writing, sharing, connecting and running my own business was like finally finding the "thing" that I was meant to be doing with my life. I started Styling You as a way to help women find confidence through their personal style. The older I get, I dress more for myself,

not for anyone else. I don't wear something just because someone else is. I wear it because I feel fabulous in it. That's such a liberating feeling. I want you to feel that way too but what I've learned through this whole process of showing up online is that clothes are just one part of the confidence conversation in our midlife years. Confidence for me is about embracing this chapter and making it a vibrant one. We only get one shot at life and I want to keep doing as much or as little as possible while I still can. If that's you too, stick around. It's great to have you here.

Brisbane turned it on yesterday for Sydney-based fashion label IDA+S Collection’s spring-summer 2026 launch. IDA+S is still relatively new in the Australian fashion landscape but continues to win new fans for its incredible craftsmanship and fabrications. The fit and feel on is something I usually only see and experience in more expensive brands.

I wore the Talia bias cut pant and Matilda oversized stretch cotton shirt. Shop site-wide with my code NIKKI10.

Discount code below ⤵️ It’s four months since our Kave Home Alea sofa arrived into our home and firmly became our post-dinner “happy place”. That time between the busy of the day and bedtime is my reset time, a chance to watch an episode or two of a current fave show, catch up with my husband and fight the doggos for my corner spot on the sofa.

This is an Alea 5-seater sofa in dark brown chenille. The covers not only look good, they’re washable.

Another day, another comment 🤦‍♀️ (see my Stories). Criticisms of my appearance don’t hurt me, that ship has long sailed. They just make me sad. Sad for the women making them. Sad that the women making them are my age or older. Sad that they choose to spend their time spreading negativity instead of joining in a conversation.

If this is you and how you get your sh*ts and giggles, I suggest the following: Get a real hobby, see your GP for a full and frank mental health/hormones conversation or, as the young kids say, go outside and touch some grass!

I’ve spent 18 years building a community here based on a culture of supporting and uplifting other women. I don’t accept anything less in “my house”. Nasty commenters get a lesson in respect and manners before being swiftly booted out the door.

I’m so thankful the majority of women here support this stance. Thank you for your meaningful comments and DMs. You’re the reason I keep showing up here.

Spring may not officially start until tomorrow but I’ve been wearing the new Aurora slide from podiatrist-founded FRANKIE4 Footwear on repeat. I can’t believe the comfort and support that FRANKIE4 has packed into such a slimline footbed.

Not many marriages these days make it to 50 years; especially second marriages. My Dad and Step Mum’s love story is one for the ages. Wendy was only meant to stay in Australia for one year on a teacher’s exchange from the UK. Dad was also a teacher and a single dad to us three kids. Their first kiss was on stage for a Little Theatre production. While Wendy’s parents were visiting Australia from the UK in 1976, Dad and Wendy got engaged and then promptly decided to marry before Wendy’s parents flew home two days later.

I was nine when they married and I 💯 put my own outfit together, working borrowed clothes from my Step Mum back with pieces from my scant wardrobe. I can’t even 😂🤦‍♀️

I surprised even myself with this all blue Sportscraft outfit. In my everyday I’ll most probably take one cobalt blue piece and wear back with neutrals but it was fun to recreate the model look. Do check out these pants in all colours.
