Cooler weather means yes to cuddly knits and yes to getting maximum mileage out of your wardrobe by layering like a pro.


Layering is the perfect antidote to the minefield that is transseasonal dressing. You know that moment when you leave home, bare legged and in a rush, only to be shivering blue by noon as a cold front sweeps the city. I live in Melbourne and I should know better, Melbourne is a city of 4 seasons in one day!

The easiest way to keep warm and give your style a new lease of life is by layering your favourites, but to keep it fresh you’ve got to embrace the new.


The Puzzles Sleeveless Plus Size Tunic is the perfect piece to transition into the new season. Layer it up with some cool soft black jersey basics for effortless style

The trick to plus size winter layering is to start simple. Start simple: the key to layering is to start with your thinner pieces first. This creates space on top for your standout pieces to shine.

TIP: If you pile on warm thicker pieces first, you hide your figure and may end up looking like you are heading off to the snow rather than out for coffee with your girlfriends.

Embrace the beautiful textures of winter with this season’s Blush Contrast Top.



Layering steps up a notch when you have fabulous prints to add texture, depth and interest.

This season, spoil you. Invest in lush soft knits before the chill sets in.

The texture of this beautiful knit will make you melt it is super soft in luxurious grey. It was love at first touch! I bought myself the Winter Forest Basic Top and team it with my black knit tube skirt for work and black pants for lunch in the city.



And finally, cool weather dressing is all about comfort and texture. Update your layering skills. Select something that spoils you. Add in something soft, warm and luxurious with a fabulous print … and like me, let your fingertips choose your favourites.

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.”
― Edith Sitwell
