Nothing To Wear

Tamara and Lucinda are back together on the mic after Lucinda’s trip to LA, and there is so much fashion news to unpack! From the "lacklustre" Emmys red carpet (and why Shailene Woodley’s controversial Balenciaga look sent the internet into overdrive) to the biggest takeaways from New York Fashion Week—including the return of DVF, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy minimalism, and models walking completely barefoot—the girls are covering all bases.
Plus, they tackle the serious news on home soil with iconic Aussie powerhouses Cue and Veronica Maine entering administration. Is corporate wear dying, or are online-native brands changing the game?
To wrap things up, Tamara shares the three dress trends taking over spring/summer, and the girls bring you their top Bougie to Budget picks featuring taffeta shorts and colourful retro stripes.

If you’ve been trapped in an endless loop of black, beige, and safe corporate neutrals, this episode is your ultimate permission slip to start having fun with your clothes again - Melbourne stylist Mattie Gouman is here to help us take on that bold, bright Scandi energy.
Leigh sits down with Mattie to break down everything she spotted on the ground at Copenhagen Fashion Week, from maximalist accessories and print-clashing to the vibrant colours popping off overseas right now (think chartreuse, cobalt blue, and fire-engine red). They chat about how to embrace a "more is more" mindset with pieces you already own, the best Australian hidden-gem brands for playful dressing, and why you don't need a designer budget to stand out. Plus, Mattie shares a surprisingly simple, game-changing t-shirt styling trick that completely blew Leigh’s mind.
And stick around for Bougie to Budget, where Mattie breaks down the ultimate oversized denim jackets for every price point, and Leigh brings three effortless maxi skirts to kickstart your spring wardrobe refresh.
BOUJIE TO BUDGET:
Mattie's Pick: Oversized Denim Jackets
Budget: Uniqlo Denim Trucker Jacket, $99.90.

Mid-Range: Anine Bing Rory Jacket, $579.

Boujie: Celine Trucker Jacket in Cotton Denim, $3,300.

Leigh's Pick: Maxi Skirts
Budget: Zara ZW Collection Check Midi Skirt, $79.95.
