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 ...
My Style: 8 Of The Best Jumpsuits…
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 ...
Mummy Style: The Checked Blazer
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 ...
The Unlikely Icon: The Lobster…
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 ...

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 ...
Mummy Style: Hi-Lo Dressing
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 ...
Fashion Must-Have Piece: The Victoriana Blouse
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 ...
A Bit Of Festive Sparkle…
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 ...
