The 7 Things Stylish Women Always Do

What happens when the "dream job" you hustled so hard to get...suddenly disappears? You're trapped in the story of who you think you should be, convinced you only fit into one box. When life tears up the script, that loss of identity can be paralysing. But what if that ending is actually the best thing that ever happened to you? What if the thing you’re doing as a "side hobby" is actually an empire waiting to be built? Tori Clapham is the powerhouse founder behind the boutique fitness brand, Peaches Pilates. Today, she oversees an empire with ten studios, an app used in 54 countries, and over $4 million in annual revenue. But the path there wasn't a straight line. Tori began as a performing arts student, moving from Far North Queensland to NYC and eventually landing a coveted creative role at MTV. Everything changed when she was made redundant. Left with a $10,000 cheque and a major life decision, Tori looked back at the casual Pilates sessions she ran for colleagues during lunch breaks and realized her "hobby" was actually her calling. She took a massive gamble, using her redundancy pay and travel savings to sign a lease on a tiny "shoebox" studio in Bondi. In this empowering episode of Pivot Club, Sarah and Tori cover the grit of DIY renovations, the risks involved when her husband quit his corporate job to join the team, and how their lo-fi workout videos accidentally prepared them for a global pandemic. They also dig into the "mini-pivot" of motherhood and how to build a business that serves your life, rather than the other way around. Get ready to learn why your biggest setbacks are often the things that propel you the most. THE END BITS: Want more from Sarah Davidson? Check out her podcast Seize The Yay.

What actually makes someone "stylish"? Is it a massive budget, or is it just knowing which buttons to leave undone? This week, Leigh and Chelsea are back together to decode the 7 habits of truly stylish women—from the "quality over quantity" rule that will save your laundry (and your wallet) to the one "fashion faux pas" that stylish women actually do every single day. Plus, Chelsea's algorithm is currently a shrine to 90s icon Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and they’re discussing why Gen Z is suddenly obsessed with her minimalist uniform. They also tackle the "baggy jeans in boots" trend (is it cool or just uncomfortable?) and the faux fur comeback that’s looking more refined this time around.

The aesthetic us millennials had thought we’d left in the vault for good is officially back. This week, Tam and Lucinda are diving into the Noughties Fashion Revival—from the red carpets of the early 2000s to Gen Z's new takes on some of these classic trends.  They’re unpacking the "tiny girl, big bag" era, the return of the iconic Chloe Paddington, and why JW Anderson's Pigeon Bag from And Just Like That has become a cautionary tale for the costume designers of the new Devil Wears Prada sequel. The girls also tackle the trends that give us all a little fashion PTSD: low-rise jeans, dresses over pants, and the trucker hat’s high-fashion makeover. Whether you're leaning into the nostalgia or watching from a safe distance, here is how to do Noughties 2.0. Lucinda's Boujie: Polo Ralph Lauren Cotton Canvas Vintage Ralph's Garage Trucker Hat, $152.40. Tam's Boujie: Araminta James AJ Terry Pant Mocha, $149.
