Fashion Forward For 2023! How to be fashion forward in 2023 when you’re a busy mum of four like me requires trusted places to shop where you know they just get it right, not just for now but for the future too. I’m not about fast fashion anymore, something I’d say in my teens and twenties I very much was. In my thirties I discovered that the clothing I wore the most was still items I’d had for years, where […]
Lands End X Blake Shelton! Lands End do celeb collaborations very well indeed. It always feels far more about the clothes than the name associated with them and yet the names they do decide to work with always seem to have a keen eye for fashion coming up with incredible designs. I personally love the Reece Witherspoon desined Draper James collections and now Jonny has got in on the act too by getting to model some of the brand new […]
Christmas Party Ready! I had a conversation with my Mum the other day about how women in their 40s dress differently now to the way they dressed when she was my age. Back then if a woman over the age of 25 had worn a mini skirt she’d have been considered a little common, now it’s fair game. We’ve moved on from considering mutton to be dressed as lamb and we now dress how we like, not how society tells […]
Dancing Leopard (what a name for a clothing business, definitely makes you want to look right?!) sell the most gloriously colourful items, from pyjamas to dresses with pockets and, as you will know if you know me, I’m rather a big fan of the jumper dress! When choosing, my go to would always be black (which this one comes in too by the way), but I opted to be daring and bold and went for the Maggie Dress (£55) in […]
Daisyboo_Beads! You know I love a little entrepreneur! Florence started making pocket money by making bracelets (which she still does) and has moved on to doing face glitter and hair braiding at parties which children love and funds her surfing lessons. I adore the fact that she’s got the gumption to do have started something to try and earn a bit of money and this week another little girl sent me a very sweet card explaining why she too is […]
George Clothing X Peppa Pig! Posie was recently asked to be a member of the #OMGeorge club where she gets to be the first to model some of the clothing ranges at one of our faves George from Asda. We love George clothes as they wash well, last ages and the quality never diminishes. I even have clothing she wears which has been passed down from her big siblings that they have all worn proving just how long lasting the […]
Daisy London Rings! When choosing a piece of jewellery with Daisy London, either for yourself or as a gift to a special someone, you are choosing more than beautiful jewellery. You’re choosing good values and sustainability as at the forefront, after their designs of course, with Daisy London, is a pledge to be as carbon positive as they possibly can be by tripling the amount of carbon they generate as a company. The pieces are beautiful, stunning items to last […]
Wrap Up Warm With The Tartan Blanket Company! We are big fans of The Tartan Blanket Company and have been buying from them (and, lucky us, working with them) for a couple of year’s now! I was introduced to the brand via a press show and fell in love with their ethical manufacturing and excellent quality. The wools are so soft, even the recycled ones of which I’ve bought blankets for family to make Christmas picnic gifts extra special. When […]
Fired Rose Jewellery! I recently attended a silver clay jewellery making workshop run by new friend of mine, Sarah, from Fired Rose Jewellery. I had no idea what to expect and in a typical for me, fly by the seat of my pants affair, I turned up knowing only that it was jewellery making, using silver, and I was getting lunch! Now, I know nothing about jewellery making or what it entails, but thankfully you don’t have to. Sarah is […]
Back To School With Start-Rite 2022! I’m going to level with you, I HATE talking about “back to school” when we’ve only just broken up (or worse, when the shops start promoting it before they’ve even finished) however, unfortunately the deed to get ready is entirely necessary, especially when you have a larger family like mine. The school shoe shopping is probably the main biggie and so we have got it over and done with nice and early and I’m […]
