Mountain Warehouse Open New Norwich Store! Mountain Warehouse has been on the Norwich landscape for years so when they put up a closing down sale on their shop front at the London Street branch it caused quite a stir! We definitely don’t need any more shops leaving our fine city, the shopping central landscape has become bleaker and bleaker since Top Shop folded, and with the huge buildings which occupied Debenhams and BHS still stood vacant as well, we instead […]

Top Of The Shop At Lands’ End! Without doubt I get compliments every single time I wear something from Lands’ End. People actually stop me in the street when I wear my multi coloured rain mac and when I am (frequently) asked about it online too, I’m often sent messages of disappointment that it is old stock now and no longer on sale. That’s the thing you see, old stock and no longer on sale it may be, but out […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Cricut Joy – A First Impression! I was recently invited to join in with a Cricut workshop with the fab team behind those magnificently popular crafting cutting machines! I’d seen them in action at a press show and been mega impressed with how easy it all looked but surely it couldn’t possibly be THAT easy as nothing ever really is is it? I was gifted the Cricut Joy, their smallest machine which is perfect for a beginner like me and […]
Draper James Nightwear At Lands End! Have you heard of Draper James? It’s the Reese Witherspoon designed collection at Lands End and I was lucky enough to be sent some of the new nightwear collection to try for myself. New to Lands End as a shopper I found myself sucked into a bit of a vortex perusing their many ranges and had to pull myself back to the DJ collection after a massive rabbit hole. They sell so many lovely […]
Lighthouse Clothing – Outback Full Length Raincoat! I’ve always been a coat hoarder and have literally about 30 of them – don’t tell Jonny there’s still that many as he made me have a cull recently and I diligently went off to the recycling bank with a bag of my coats which only had about 3 in there but he thought there was a lot more. I store them in vac packs under the bed and have no intention of […]
