What is style, really? Is it about trends, or is it something far more personal?
In this episode of Manners and Other Matters, Louise is joined by her dear friend Chrissie, a print designer whose life has taken her across many countries and cultures. Together, they explore the idea of style as something lived and experienced, rather than something dictated by fashion cycles.
Drawing on Chrissie’s time living abroa, particularly in Indonesia, the conversation reflects on how travel, culture, craftsmanship, and intention quietly shape the way we dress, decorate, and live. From mixing old and new to embracing meaningful pieces and everyday rituals, this episode is a gentle reminder that true style evolves over time.
Relaxed, thoughtful, and deeply personal, this is a conversation about trusting your instincts and allowing style to grow naturally alongside you.
In this episode, Louise and Chrissie explore:
- What style truly is, and why it has very little to do with trends
- How travel and living in different cultures influence personal style
- The lasting impact of Indonesian design, craftsmanship, and textiles
- Mixing old and new pieces to create depth and individuality
- Style as an intentional way of living, beyond fashion and interiors
- Simple ways to bring a sense of style into everyday life without overthinking it
This episode is a reminder that style doesn’t shout. It’s calm, considered, and deeply personal—shaped by experience, curiosity, and intention.
Listen in if you’re drawn to elegant living, personal style, cultural influences, intentional design, and timeless ways of expressing yourself.
