Well I can’t write a blog called It’s a Mummy Look without sharing a few of my very own mummy looks, really. So I thought I’d start taking pics of some of my day-to-day outfits for your perusal. Not all of them, mind. You really wouldn’t want to see me the day after a...
Specs appeal
posted by Lucy
So the sticky-pawed one has decided my glasses are his new favourite toy. Every morning, without fail, as I go to pick Ru out of the cot, he’ll reach greedily towards my face and swiftly pull them off my face before focusedly turning them round and round in his hands, making pretty...
Sale away…
posted by Lucy
I know I should be saving the pennies with the old maternity allowance dwindling to an end, but it seemed wrong, illegal almost, not to at least check out the January sales. I mean, to be fair, the fact that I’m on a tight budget now makes sales shopping actually quite sensible,...
Breast not best for ...

So I was having a conversation with one of my mummy mates the other week, about how she struggles to find stylish clothes to wear on those rare nights out, as she’s still breastfeeding and wearing those maxi-coverage nursing bras that manage to peep out of every neckline of every top....

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a casual girl, and you’re more likely to see me in jeans, leggings and slouchy tops than dresses and skirts. It just suits my body shape, lifestyle and personality. And I have a passion for comfort, owning probably an unnecessarily high number of grey...
NCT night out
posted by Lucy
It’s been seven months since my currently-teething-and-mainly-whinging bundle of joy entered the world, but my NCT group has only just gone on a night out, just us, sans babies (except Bella, who was missed and needs to play catch-up now). For the uninitiated, your NCT group is just a...
Weekly wardrobe detox
posted by Lucy
In my other life as a personal stylist, I used to carry out a ‘wardrobe workout’, which involved going through clients’ wardrobes, sorting out what they do/don’t wear, helping them decide what needed to be ditched as it didn’t suit their body shape/colouring, discovering what could be saved with a little altering and what items/accessories they could purchase to make the most of existing items in the wardrobe. This is a very satisfying exercise that I recommend we all do, as you free up a lot of space, find jeans you love but forgot about, realise you mostly wear black and it does nothing for you, or discover...
