With long days to fill and a baby in need of entertainment I have enjoyed places I never would have visited before or shops I have always dashed in and out of as quickly as possible in the past. So over the last 18 months or so among other things I have discovered that I ...
There's nothing quite like the realisation you will be in a swimsuit in a week's time to get you motivated. This week I have been mostly HIIT-ing the gym mat hot, sweaty and out of breath in an attempt to lose my mummy tummy in time for our first family holiday next week. While I ...
If the man in your life is anything like mine, when asked what he would like for Father's Day he will simply say he doesn't want anything and that he'd rather not have a fuss made - however we all know this is not necessarily true. Of course they want to be spoiled like we do ...
Preparing for the birth of your baby is both an exciting and daunting task. There's plenty of helpful information out there on what to buy and where to buy it from but therein lies the problem, if anything there's possibly too much out there and the pressure to pick the right tools for the job is intense - ...
Last season I welcomed the statement sweatshirt so naturally this summer I'm embracing the t-shirt version. Granted a new concept it is not but making a statement with your clothing certainly is fun. To be frank, there are days when it would be easier to wear my mood across my chest than talk (at least before ...
By now it's fair to say my love of a trainer has been ascertained, I have a fully fledged addiction to them. So when a new style landed this season naturally I had to get on board and dip a toe into it, quite literally... The floral trainer is the perfect mix of utility and decadence, ...
There is nothing quite as lovely as baby skin – it’s the best and something I have strived to achieve for years. In the past I’ve advocated borrowing from the boys wardrobes so it occurred to me why not borrow from the babies beauty range? It stands to reason that if a product is gentle ...
These days, like most mummies, I shop very differently for fashion than I did before Daisy for several reasons. In the early months, tiredness, comfort and breastfeeding generally governed what I wore but now my clothes work harder – having a toddler who thinks I am an assault course means that more often than not ...
Before now my wardrobe has only enjoyed the presence of approximately 3 floral/embroidered pieces and they are all dresses I have worn to weddings. To be clear, it's not that I don't like florals or embroidery, they just haven't really ever been on my radar especially as I am not perhaps the most girliest of girls. That seems ...
You may well recall in a post I wrote a while back that I bought some palm leaf cushions for the living room and the matching curtains (read about it here) with a plan to get my Maria Von Trapp on and re-cover a tired second hand footstool we had. Well I finally did it ...
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...
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 ...
For those of us like me, who cannot keep a plant alive despite all my ...
