Sometimes it's the simple items of clothing that make the biggest statement. I've spoken about outfit elevators before now and the slogan top is a fine example. On (most) days when I want just a bit more from my usual mummy uniform of a sweatshirt and jeans sometimes all it takes is a slogan to ...
Huzzah - at last the kitchen is fnished! It has certainly been a journey and a half and an experience, (one I don’t wish to relive) but to be fair I can’t complain as it has largely been pain-free and even if it hadn’t the outcome has made it totally worth it either way… Before… When we ...
Rather than moaning the entire way through January, this year I decided to throw myself into new things and make my own happiness (I’m sure it has something to do with the new moon at the beginning of the month). I’m not necessarily one for New Year resolutions but given I was not one of ...
Poor January gets such a hard time. When it should be the month of new beginnings and fresh starts instead it's treated like it's a thirty-one day long hangover. It's the month of strict diets, torturous gym sessions, and has all the financial fun of a wet day with no umbrella. To add insult to ...
Is there anything better than being hands free? These days I take huge delight in the simple things, washing my hair uninterrupted, going to the toilet alone, hot coffee and reclaiming my arms and hands one day every week when Daisy goes to nursery. It's these simple things I have to remind myself of after ...
Happy 2018! I hope you had a wonderful break. We had a lovely time but as much as I'd like to say we had a relaxing one, a toddler and project kitchen prevented us from lazing about too much. The good news is the kitchen is nearly finished (hurrah) so I shall be sharing all ...
From the office party to Christmas Jumper day and all of the do's in between, it would appear dressing for the festive season requires its own wardrobe much like Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer these days. And what about the children? Given that I am still relatively new to this mummy lark, (this is only my second Christmas) ...
Shop small - it's a little statement that can make a big difference. I'm sure you have probably heard the term being used and Instagram certainly makes it easier to shop beyond the great giant brands we already know and love that adorn our High Street. But have you actually bought something yet? Having worked in ...
How is it December again??? At the risk of sounding really old, where has this year gone? While I'm giddy at the thought of the big day drawing ever nearer, I've been so caught up in tree-dressing, advent calendar-ing and listening to Christmas radio that I have totally forgotten to do any present shopping- oops! Much ...
Be it a pearl of wisdom or a twinset and pearls - it's easy to see how the milky white gemstone has become intrinsically linked with all things classic. That was until the high street got hold of them this season and hauled them back into the style spotlight... They.Are.Everywhere. Adorning and decorating even the most simple of items ...
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 ...
