Animal Print is EVERYWHERE at the moment, which is great for me as I have a tonne of it in my wardrobe. But it's not just the traditional leopard print you'll have seen in the shops, it's all kinds of print from snake skin to zebra and a whole array of colours in between. In … Continue reading The Animal Print Edit
Transition into Autumn Winter in Style
This edit takes pieces from the first AW18 drops from a couple of my favourite instashops, and shows how to create endless outfits from a capsule collection of key stylish pieces paired with good quality basics. Kids are not like us, they actually need a new wardrobe each season as they grow so much, so … Continue reading Transition into Autumn Winter in Style
My new style blog – #motherandministyle
My love of styling me and my little babe, particularly in 'coordinating' styles, is no secret. For my little one, now a strong willed two year old boy, I love to discover and support small independent Brands on Instagram, and mix in with High Street finds that aren't all dinos and tractors! For myself, again … Continue reading My new style blog – #motherandministyle
Who Needs Sleep Anyway…?
Me. I need sleep. I miss sleep. Weekends were all about lie-ins for me. I've never been a morning person, and I knew that would change once I had a baby. But I didn't expect that two years later, I still wouldn't be 'sleeping through the night'. Y wasn't a great sleeper as a baby. … Continue reading Who Needs Sleep Anyway…?
My Birth Story

Me - 'Your waters don't just suddenly break, that is like SO unlikely to happen. … Continue reading My Birth Story
Preparing for ‘The Birth’ – Is there any point?
In short, Yes. I think so. And by this I don't mean writing a birth plan, because trust me, your birth won't go to 'plan'. But that's not to say it can't be a positive experience. Some women will have a relatively straightforward labour and birth - the textbook type - if there even is … Continue reading Preparing for ‘The Birth’ – Is there any point?
How did I ever survive the morning sickness? (the answer lies in cheese…)
During my second trimester, and pretty much most of the third trimester, I loved being pregnant. Perhaps I was fortunate in that I never really felt tired, I didn't gain a lot of additional weight, I wasn't an emotional wreck (although others might disagree...) and generally just felt my usual self. However, for the first … Continue reading How did I ever survive the morning sickness? (the answer lies in cheese…)
The woes of maternity wear
I might work with numbers and spreadsheets every day, but I work in the fashion retail business. So I am surrounded by clothes. Soooo many clothes. Every day. And I have been for the past 12 years. I blame this for my slight shopping addiction. Add to the mix that I work for a company … Continue reading The woes of maternity wear
My First Blog
Ok, so here goes. My first Blog. I'm not much of a writer, well not that I know of yet, and the thought of myself as a 'blogger' makes me slightly cringe. I mean, my day job involves working with numbers and spreadsheets ffs (well it did until 9 months ago) - no previous creative or editorial … Continue reading My First Blog
