Knowing inspiration can be found anywhere, she and her husband have recently been captivated by Ralph Lauren's Autumn/Winter 2026 menswear show. Spotting different ways to adapt some of the brand's styling techniques into their own wardrobes.

For Lisa, finding ways to match colours and prints in unexpected ways is always key. Whether it's clashing complementary hues or mixing prints, her mastery and expert eye for spotting new styling hacks on the runway, is what makes her content stand out in an otherwise, crowded influencer world.

"My husband and I have both been taken by Ralph Lauren’s latest men’s fashion show. It’s the kind of pattern mixing I love, especially during the colder winter months when we can layer fair isle and argyle. My husband went all out on the layering, including the vest and tie, but I love a good blazer with a triangle scarf. It feels very lived-in and effortless, just the way I love to style my everyday," she says.
