Each season I like to add a few staple items to my wardrobe. I’d describe my style as classic – I like to wear timeless pieces which can be mixed and matched and work with every season. I tend to stay away from trends, and instead have a small but select capsule wardrobe of good quality style staples. Investing in a selection of the essentials allows for a lot of…
Autumn with Joules
It’s always a welcome change to embrace the cooler weather and dress for Autumn in cosy fabrics and layers. Henry and I donned our new Joules outfits and headed out for an autumnal walk amongst the fallen leaves and amber coloured trees. I love how quintessentially British the Joules brand is. Wax jackets, luxurious tweed and their Wellington boots are pretty spectacular too! Blouse – Tweed Skirt – Coat Henry: Quilted Jacket – Gingham Shirt – Mocassins I…
hush SS14 Wish List & Giveaway
Today I have a fantastic giveaway from the gorgeous clothing brand hush, to celebrate their new SS14 collection. Discovering this brand was a revelation for me, their ethos fits my new lifestyle as a mother perfectly – “a clothing brand aimed at women of all ages who like fashion but are not a slave to it, who want to look good but don’t want to spend ages doing so, who want…
Loves Lately
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss These non-sticky and fragrance-free lip glosses are available in array of pretty shades. I opted for Super Natural, a ‘my-lips-but-better’ shade which adds just the right amount of colour and gloss to the lips, and Snow Pink, a clear gloss with a delicate shimmer running through it, which gives the lips a plumped up effect. Zara Short Sleeved Sweater This oh-so-soft sweater has adorable short sleeves and a scoop neck. I love the style…

BabyBeau Ellie Changing Bag
If you’re a handbag kind of girl, one of the more exciting purchases when you’re preparing for the arrival of a baby is the changing bag. I knew my beloved Mulberry and Miu Miu bags would be taking a back seat, so I wanted to replace them with a chic changing bag which didn’t look like a changing bag. Much of the bags on offer seem to be quite gaudy and bright, whereas I was looking…

Seraphine Luxe Multiway Dress
Dresses have been my preference when it comes to maternity clothing, for their comfort and simplicity. One of my favourite dresses to wear during my pregnancy has been the Seraphine Luxe Multiway Dress, which can be styled in six different ways using the ties at the front of the dress. One shouldered, with sleeves, twisted Grecian style, halter neck – these are all options which are quick and easy to achieve….
Olivia Burton Big Dial Rose Gold Watch
Despite being a big fan of rose gold, I’d yet to acquire a watch in the soft pink tone, so when I spotted a beautiful Olivia Burton watch on my Instagram feed, I knew it was the perfect item to satisfy my longing for a new rose gold spring/summer accessory. After a bit of searching online, I ordered the Big Dial watch from The Dressing Room (the only store where I…
Miu Miu Vitello Lux Bow Bag
I’d been coveting the beautiful Miu Miu Vitello Bow Bag for years, so one day, I decided to save for it. I reached my goal more quickly than I thought, but rather than buying the bag of my dreams, something was holding me back. I went to visit the Miu Miu store in London to see and touch the bags in real life, but I wasn’t overly keen on any…
Zara Riding Boots
I’ve never really owned a decent pair of winter boots. Although I’m fond of my suede over-the-knee boots and my black ankle boots, neither of these are suitable when it’s cold and raining. I was browsing the sales online recently and came across the Zara Riding Boots. They fulfilled everything on my boot checklist – real leather, a small heel, classic design and a lovely tan shade. Best of all,…
Winter Essentials
1. As soon as the weather turns cooler, I swap my favourite Vivienne Westwood pumps for some boots. I’ve just found out about Rockport shoes and love these chic boots from their Winter range. 2. Winter calls for comforting candles and soothing scents. I’m enjoying Pumpkin Pie, Sugared Apple and Christmas Cookie this year. 3. A fur stole keeps chills at bay and adds a touch of glamour to any outfit….
