It’s not unusual for us mums to ditch the jewellery once the baby pops out (as in pops out of us , not pops out to the shop for a paper). And it’s understandable, as we don’t want to injure the newborn with sharp-edged blingy rings, or be injured ourselves by the toddler...

It’s Mummy Look Monday! Which means a healthy dose of mummy style inspiration to start off the week. I’m obsessed with checking out Pap shots of A-list mums (Jessica Alba and Miranda Kerr being my current style crushes), as well as high-profile and trailblazing mums and, of course,...

‘Let’s go to the beach,’ she said. ‘Take the little one for his first trip to the seaside, buy him a bucket and spade…’. What a lovely idea, I thought. Watch him build his first sandcastle, squeal delightedly as the waves lapped at his little feet....

OK, so anyone who knows me knows I’m not a big sports fan, much to Hubby’s dismay, but I’m trying to be good and supportive and get behind Team GB ready for the London 2012 Olympics in our very own capital city (if you can’t beat ‘em and all that…)....

I’ve heard good things and bad things about Arianna Huffington, co-founder of The Huffington Post, an influential news and opinion website featuring blogs and commentary from herself and other prominent journalists, officials and celebs. Now with a year-old UK edition,...

Apparently, new research from COMPEED® reveals that British women are wearing the highest heels in Europe (average heel height 3.3 inches), probably due to us being statistically shorter. Or just because we love the way we sashay into a room when we’re wearing them. The problem is,...

Ha ha, that  got you reading, didn’t it? Apologies for anyone hoping for a naughty post (shame on you!). This is, in fact, quite literally, about the colour grey. Or, more specifically, my love affair with it. My mum commented the other day how much I suit the colour. This bemused me at...

Since having my baby just over a year ago, I’ve felt constantly run down, ill, fatigued, aching, tired, emotional (feel free to continue/add to with your own list of depressing adjectives). Whether it’s just from the lack of proper sleep to being too busy to eat properly (I’m...

No, this post is not at all related to 50 Shades Of Grey,  bad luck. It is, however, related to those items that I really, really  want in my life* but can’t afford. I will then show you the cheaper copy homage  to said item of retail lust that I’ll probably end up buying...

Last week’s Holiday SOS! covered easy toning tricks to get your body in shape fast for your summer hols. Part two is about all the style cheats you can use if the exercise regime went a little by the wayside… STYLE IT OUT If exercise bores the pants off you or you’ve left it...

Yes, I know we’re all still doing anti-rain dances and praying to all of our gods that summer does at some point arrive, but I happened to come across a few exciting little images from this year’s pre-Fall collection from Thakoon Addition. Thanks to an online retail-therapy break...

Quick Mummy-Look Monday post today, as I’m a busy bunny trying to fit more in than is realistic, as usual. However, while fitting in all my busy-ness, I also happened to pop into M&S in Covent Garden this morning, and wished I could have perused the aisles for longer (rather than...

I used to be pretty religious about applying gradual fake tan in the summer. You know, those moisturisers with added tanning agents, which you slather on a few times a week to gradually build up a glow? My favourite was always St Tropez Gradual Tan (by the way, you can get a tube of this free...

We booked our summer holiday at the weekend – woop! And aside from the initial excitement, my first thoughts were:  Aargh, packing for a toddler/what to do with a toddler on a flight;   closely followed by:   Aargh, need to tone up fast… So I’m doing a two-part post...

I was having a nostalgia trip this weekend and thinking back to my old blog, It’s a Look, which I used to write before I became a mum. It’s quite nice to take a trip down memory lane every now and again and see what I was doing and wearing back then and whether my style has changed...
