Readers, I write this post from my sick bed, having succumbed to the pox. Chicken pox, that is. Babies and small children being the little Petri dishes that they are, it was only a matter of time before I started seeing spots (and not of my favourite leopard print variety, sadly – ooh,...

I’ve been getting into Pinterest lately (follow my pins at http://pinterest.com/mummylook) and there’s loads of inspiration within the mood boards on there, created by all the fabulous creative types out there. And I’m stealing ideas every day, for home, style, cooking, baby...

A lot of my mummy friends are finishing their maternity leave and starting back to work now. Some started a while ago, and as for me, my actual office time (aside from working from home on It’s a Mummy Look and other projects) is due in just under a month myself. It triggers all sorts of...

  Beyonce’s laid-back-chic mummy style is really catching my eye at the moment. Mostly because, as you know, I’m a huge fan of relaxed tailoring and have a lot of time for printed trousers. But also because she shows us just how its done – avoiding veering into MC Hammer...

At £200 I know it’s not cheap, but I’m currently adding this Pacapod Phoenix changing bag to my lust list. Pacapod changing bags (or ‘parent bags’ as they call them – sounds much cooler, no?) are ingenious, as they literally are little individual pods or mini...

Any excuse for a bit of retail therapy to brighten up these miserable rainy days, and here’s a blimmin good one (but don’t tell anyone…): Wallis has a secret online exclusive sale with up to 50% off EVERYTHING! It’s for three days only – from today, Tuesday 15th...

A good mummy friend of mine came over a couple of weeks ago and was wearing a scarf that had a pendant attached. I asked where she’d got it from, and she introduced me to the Pendant Scarf website. Such a clever and simple idea, it sells thin, delicate scarves that you can thread through...

It used to be that my beauty treatment of choice was always a massage. But I’ve really started to love a facial. Just as relaxing, and usually with a neck, shoulder and facial massage included, it feels like such an indulgent treat and leaves your skin all plumped up and glowing...

This should have been a Mummy-Look Monday feature, but as it was a Bank Holiday yesterday, I decided to have a mini blogging break. So you have a Mummy-Look Tuesday instead. I wrote a post a while back (Accessories) about how necklaces aren’t always the most practical item of clothing...

It occurred to me that I haven’t pimped our kitchens in a while, so today’s Quick-Fix Friday is a little something that I thought would brighten up the room in which we spend far too much of our lives. If only there was a wine o’clock on there at, say, around the 8am, sorry,...

It’s Wellbeing Wednesday again (let’s face it, by midweek we’re usually willing it to be Friday, which means our wellbeing is, at this point, in need of a boost). And as I’m attempting to turn my negative thinking on its head and give my perspective a positive spin,...
