Well if ever there was a season better suited to the cardigan, that time is now. Cold and fresh in the morning but mild by lunchtime, I've learned (the hard way, I might add) the lightweight buttoned knitwear is the only thing to reach for during these confused weather times. I've long enjoyed a longer ...
When a clothing brand you already love designs a home range, it is destined for greatness. So when I heard the news that River Island were going to launch a homeware collection, I was all ears. If I'm honest I get as equally giddy about interiors nowadays as I do clothing! Landing instore and online this ...
I distinctly remember the Health Visitor at Daisy's one year check warning me that around the age of two she could become a fussy eater but not to worry it's normal. Apparently it harps back to a time when they were cave babies and would have hunted for themselves and whatever they found that didn't ...
Well hello Autumn! September is without a doubt my favourite month of the year. Aside from it being my birthday and wedding anniversary month (my husband dreads it), it’s also the month when the really good stuff starts. Great telly (Bodyguard anyone?), great weather (cool but still sunny) and most importantly it’s the month of ...
Hooray for the sunshine making a comeback! The rain over the Bank Holiday weekend plus a poorly Daisy was a stark reminder that although winter is my fashionable favourite, as a mummy it fills me with dread. There’s nothing like a rainy day to bring out all kinds of anxiety and panic over what we ...
I’m prepared that not everyone will like this post, a jumpsuit is the sartorial equivalent of marmite and in my past experiences working in fashion it conjures up delightful references to workmen, tyre fitters and the Ghostbusters to name a few. That said, I like marmite and I like jumpsuits, boilersuits in particular and surprisingly ...
It has been a while since I have written one of these posts, sorry. Largely in part because I've been using the same products on Daisy for some time now but also because I've wanted to use/test these latest products for a while before reviewing them. Now she's a bit older we have refined what ...
Alas it happened, the heatwave has waved goodbye. Unlike most people I know I am gutted and truth be told I didn’t expect to be at all. I’m usually a huge fan of the cooler end of the seasonal spectrum – there’s something about cosying up indoors and layering clothes that hugely appeals to me ...
Now that Daisy is out of nappies, (we surivived potty training, yipee!) and I am back at work part time, I was beginning to feel the time was coming to shelve the nappy bag, downsize our carry load (hopefully!) and each have a bag of our own. I was hunting for something to carry Daisy's ...
I'm back! After an unwanted hiatus owing to my camera breaking I am now up and running again and it feels good to be back. I actually really really hated not having my camera, moreso than I expected. Not so much for blogging and selfie reasons (it does take much better pics than my phone though) ...
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 ...
