It is with regret but I am giving up on summer, with the wet and grey days outnumbering the warm and the opportunities to wear sandals dwindling I've crossed over to the dark side that is autumn dressing. It doesn't help that while project kitchen is underway the desire to shop for clothes when I should ...
An unfortunate turn of events recently led to a very fortunate fashion discovery. Arriving for a meeting I looked down to see that one of my favourite leopard print loafers was without a heel ( I had walked in them a lot). Aside from being gutted I was also lopsided and had an exposed heel ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
In the spirit of New Year new me, 2017 may still be in it's infancy but I have already changed my sartorial dressing habits, something I have not done for years... I am wearing colour. I have to confess that since having a little girl I like pink. I must be clear though, I don't mean the ...
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 ...
The shirt, a timeless piece of clothing every wardrobe should have and the lifesaver item I turned to when I first started breastfeeding. Those early days when you need to see the baby latch on correctly (or risk the pain when the hungry angel does it themselves) as well as keep your top out of ...
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...
