Whatever your thoughts may be about 'the trends" and what's fashionable or not (and indeed whether you care), every now and then a look appears that is just plain practical - and the dress over jeans outfit is one of them. It's very easy to see why this look has gained popularity lately, with the ...
So, it turns out I have a bit of a thing for rainbows and I’m not alone. Following my post a couple of weeks ago about the mini me collection jumper (you can read it here), second to the gorgeous jumpers, it was the rainbow design that grabbed your attention in a big way. And ...
Only since I've been able to enjoy doing outdoorsy stuff lately with Daisy has it made me realise how long it was since we last had nice weather! I was pushing her on a swing in the park the other day and honestly could not remember when I last had (helped by the fact that ...
It's a very good day when you get to try chocolate, write about it and call it 'work'. In fact the combination of the impending long Bank holiday weekend and chocolate is making me feel like it's Easter all over again, and I like it! If you have been following me for some time you would ...
What could possibly be better than a brand that makes fun, quirky and all round beautiful clothing? A brand that does this and then makes miniature versions for you to dress your children in too! If you've never heard of the independent brand Sugarhill Brighton and you love a slogan, a breton stripe and a ...
While I'm sadly aware that this week feels more wintry than summery, how lovely was it to see the sun last week?! To be honest I was totally blindsided by last week’s freak weather (not that I am complaining), so much so that when I went to pick up Daisy from nursery there she was, ...
The reasons for this post were twofold; the primary reason being that the nicer weather meant I could finally bring out my old favourite side stripe wide leg trousers, and the second simply because everywhere I go I’m seeing side stripes... A stripe is often a popular choice at this time of year, as is a ...
I have a theory; if I dress like it's already Spring, it will show up. Much like the book The Secret says, (if you haven't read it I highly recommend) if you put positivity out to the Universe you get it back, I have decided I am going to dress for warmer (drier) weather and ...
This is not my first post about the many reasons why I love faux-liage but since then I now have twice as many faux plants in my house which has been entirely fuelled by their popularity on the high street. Whereas it was once far from ok to have fake flowers in your home, now ...
We are just hours away from the long Easter weekend - yay! I love a bank holiday weekend and especially Easter as it involves four days of eating chocolate, dressing up your child in all number of novelty clothing and no working. And it wouldn't be Easter without a bunny or two, (which I am ...
I'm a Fashion Editor, stylist and writer currently renovating our first home as well as recently becoming a Mummy for the first time to Daisy. Love anything grey, Scandi inspired, am a little bit camera shy and have a penchant for a flamingo. I'm also a big fan of the great British High Street and regularly scour it for amazing finds to prove you can have Style & Substance...
I have a confession to make, I haven't been measured for a bra since before ...
Denim has become as synonymous with the start of a new year as sequins are to December. Maybe ...
Who doesn't love a new beauty purchase? I for one am a sucker for a ...
