Liz is a Guildford local who documents her life as a first-time mum on her Instagram page. Her unique perspective on fashion combines style and functionality, making her the perfect ambassador for this season’s trends. We’re excited to showcase how Liz effortlessly blends chic looks with her everyday life, inspiring other new parents to embrace their style!

We’re excited to dive deeper into Liz’s journey this Autumn/Winter season! You might recognise her from our SS24 fashion campaign, but there’s so much more to discover!

What’s your go-to drink order to keep warm during the chilly winter months? 

My go to order is an Oat Milk Cappuccino with some Salted Caramel syrup and an extra shot of espresso. However if I’m feeling like a treat, I do love a Pumpkin Spice Latte or a rich hot chocolate!

Guildford has such a cosy vibe in the colder seasons! What do you love most about spending autumn/winter here?

Guildford is so pretty, and even more so in Autumn/Winter. I love a wander on the High Street it’s so beautiful in the AW weather, but I also love that you can be surrounded by greenery just ten minutes away. We have a gorgeous wood just outside the town centre called The Chantries, and I’ll be taking lots of wintery walks there this year.

Our audience remembers you from last time! Now that you’re a Friary Brand Ambassador, tell us—what part of the photoshoot was your absolute favourite?

It is genuinely so hard to choose the best part of the shoot! It’s been such a great experience all round, but I have really enjoyed seeing how everything just comes together so seamlessly. I literally turn up bare faced in comfy clothes, and it’s so amazing how everyone works so hard to make it all come together, from the styling to the make up, the location, the photography – its such a buzz to see it all working and to be part of it. And obviously being able to wear such fantastic outfits is a massive privilege!

When it comes to winter fashion, do you prioritise comfort, style, or a little bit of both?

Four years ago I would have said Style over Comfort every day, however since becoming a mum it does have to be a little more balanced these days! I would say I stick to more comfortable outfits day to day, but always try and get a killer look in whenever I get the chance. And I always make sure that even my comfy outfits are as put together as they can be, I’m that person that makes an effort for the school run. I just feel so much more confident and motivated for the day when I like my outfit!

Are there any winter staples you can’t live without?

I will always have an obsession with outerwear and I feel that a statement coat is the best Winter staple you can invest in. You can keep your base layers really simple and still make an impact by adding an awesome coat or jacket.

What’s your perfect autumn day outfit for exploring Guildford?

I would go with a base layer like a thin knitted dress, or a fitted top and faux leather skirt. Then add in some flat chunky knee boots (they look cool but are comfortable for exploring on an Autumn day) some sheer tights which I always think look really chic, and a statement coat. Hopefully, it would be nice and sunny too so I could add some cool sunglasses.

Which winter accessory do you think instantly elevates any outfit?

I love the fact that Autumn Winter invites the need for more accessories, and I’d say that a good hat can truly elevate a look. I love a big wool fedora for more glamorous outfits, but even a beanie can look super cool with the right outfit. I also love the trend for trapper hats at the moment, I’ll definitely be styling one on my woodland walks!

If you had to choose, are you more of a cosy jumper or chic coat kind of person?

It’s got to be a coat. As I’ve already said, I think they can make or break an outfit, and they are my favourite thing to style. I actually own around 60 coats which I have collected over the years and they have their own closet in my house! They are all totally different from each other and I adore every single one.

As the days grow cooler and the autumn and winter months settle in, we hope you’re feeling inspired by our AW24 Guildford-style celebration!
