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 ...
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 ...
Since returning from our holiday (sob sob) it would appear Autumn has arrived in a big way. I'm not complaining, in my humble opinion new season means only one thing, new trends!!! The change of season is the perfect opportunity to have a style cleanse and introduce some new key pieces into your wardrobe to ...
We are back from our first family holiday for my brother's and my new sister-in-law's wedding and it was just wonderful - as you are reading this I am still in mourning for it and trying to cheer myself up by constantly scrolling through the pictures. However, I am happy to report that travelling with ...
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 ...
This week marks our official entrance into Spring (the weather would suggest otherwise) and while I would love to be embracing lighter fabrics and ditching the coat I'm afraid I shall not be baring much more than an ankle for now. Having been one of the gullible ones that skipped outside when the sun came out ...
Mr Style & Substance and I had our first night out together since having Daisy two weeks ago. This sounds rather dramatic given that she's a year old (and a bit tragic) and technically it wasn't actually the very first time but it was the first evening we had been out and didn't get a call because she ...
This post could not come at a better time, after a week of illness and being housebound (Daisy and Mr Style & Substance were both hit) I have a night out tonight and I cannot wait. Off out for a girly night of cocktails for our 'work' Christmas party (although our bosses AKA the children don't know ...
While you can debate the merits of buying some clothing, one thing you can be certain of is investing in a new coat will be worth it - the weather will get colder! As a self confessed coat addict I definitely have enough to see me through but that still didn't stop me buying yet another ...
Love it or loathe it (I'm in the former gang), the big day is imminent and naturally with it comes Christmas shopping. I'd love to tell you at this point I had done all of mine and was quietly smug with my feet up but that is far from the truth. They say the first ...
