I cannot believe that its SEPTEMBER! Where did the Summer go? I have to admit I have been very unbalanced of late. With the children on their 6 week Hols, I have been neglecting our Blog, and have been spending some quality time with them. From Swimming, Bike Riding, Kayaking, Shopping, Walking, Dancing, and so much more. It has been such a fun 6 weeks, but alas its over and I need to get back to the grind. Not that I’m complaining, I, like many other people, love this time of year. For me its like New Year. New start to school term, the air is thinning due to change in seasons and its full of promise. Having some time away has recharged my batteries and given me a new focus. I have a load of new content coming up in the next few weeks. So look forward to seeing more make-up reviews, tutorials, Style, more Capsule Wardrobe, Hair tutorials and Vlogs.

I wanted to share my last outfit of the Summer, well not much of a summer in the North!. I like to layer anytime of the year, as you never know when you are going to be caught out. Having a capsule wardrobe means that most items have to be multi-purpose and this Zara Floral A-Line dress is just that. It works brilliantly as a light layer, using it as a long coat. A Band Tee and pair of Cons just tie everything together and I’m ready to face the day.

I am not one to be sentimental over things, it is a curse and a blessing. It wasn’t until I had children, that I began to become sentimental. The smell of a softener that I used when I washed babies first clothes in, a pair of first socks, were their feet ever that small!! and a pair of Cons, I treated myself to after giving birth to our third child. These said ‘Cons’ have sadly disintegrated and reluctantly was going to chuck them out, until I was stopped in my tracks by a memory. It came like a lightening bolt and holding those shoes in my hands I was reminded of how I felt when I put on these cons for the first time. Our third child was only 2 weeks old and Richard wanted to take us to the local pub for dinner. It was going to be the be my first outing still recovering from major surgery, the first Pram outing and of course with baby Louis. So, these Cons are so special to me because of the many firsts I have had in them!. Alas, they have had their day, and I needed a new pair. I scoured the internet and found nearly the same on SALE at La Redoute. I know in times past I moan about La Redoute delivery times, but because I wasn’t in a hurry and it was a Bargain price I was willing to wait.
The Converse All Stars Hi Tops are one of my favorite trainers. You can wear them pretty much every outfit and yes I have worn them under a ball gown before now, because they are so versatile and comfy. Today is a perfect example of this, White shirt knotted around the waist and a black maxi skirt is all you need. I find Maxi skirts difficult to wear at the best of times, but sling on a pair of Cons and instantly transforms your whole look. Definitely a must for any Capsule Wardrobe.

Pleated Trousers
I know Spring talk already, but with the latest sunny spells we have been having in the UK. My mind has been turned to the excitement of all things new in nature and style. Its getting to that tricky transitional stage where I don’t want to buy anything new, so I have been re-shopping my own wardrobe to find new pieces again!. The pleated trousers that you see in the pictures were a panic buy when I had realized the week of a award ceremony that I had NOTHING to wear. I tore around our local TOPSHOP in a complete tizz and saw these and thought ‘O.k I can do something with this’ and lo and behold they have become a firm favorite in my wardrobe. Whether you are wanting to dress them up (see here in my vlog) or how I have styled them casually with a pair of Cons and a leather jacket. Sometimes these things are just meant to be!.

Pick of the crop
Hello Everyone, How are we all doing this lovely Monday Morning? I thought I would kick off the week with my Wardrobe Essential- Blazers. A long time ago I wore Blazers as my outerwear always and then when I fell pregnant with my first child and I just lost my mojo because maternity back in 2005 was dyer. Maternity ranges have come on leaps and bounds since then, but at the time I remember my uniform was just Mothercare jeans and some hideous smock tops! I hated it and felt rubbish. Fast forward to now and of late my love for the Blazer has been well and truly re-ignited!.
The first one that has me in a tizz is the Herring Bone oversized Blazer from Zara. It fits in all the right places, but also has that masculine feel with it being oversized and as always with me it is so versatile! I have been wearing it with my Topshop Mom Jeans, boots, Adidas or Converse Trainers.

My second look is to show how a blazer can smarten up a outfit. This grey Longline Blazer has been on here before and was well received by you lovely lot. It really is a great piece to sling on with a smart pair of trousers or with a pair of jeans and all of a sudden you look put together with hardly any effort at all, that is always music to my ears!

My Old Faithful – The Leather Jacket
I thought I would start a series on my take of what is a wardrobe essential to me. First to kick things off is the old faithful- The Leather Jacket.

To me the Leather Jacket can be something of a icon statement piece or just blend into the background of a fierce outfit. No matter how rubbish you may be feeling that day, slipping on a Leather Jacket and a statement lipstick, you are then ready to take on the world so to speak!. My chosen Leather Jacket is the Bales piece from All Saints. I thought long and hard about this purchase, as for me its a lot of money to spend on myself with so many mouths to feed! If you have been reading my blog for a while you will know that the last Leather Jacket I bought was over 18 years and was woefully in need of an up grade so I felt it was justified!.
I chose this style because all the others seemed a little bulky on my small frame and I did look like a mitchelin man wearing them!. The Bales is a soft Lamb Leather (sorry!) I know for some this does not sit well, but for me if I am going to eat it, I should not be fussy about wearing it. It is slim line and has a double buckle on the collar. It has zip details on the cuffs which really helps when you are wearing a thick hoody or knit underneath to allow some well needed ventilation!.

Don’t get me wrong, you can get some cracking faux Leather Jackets on the high street for a fraction of the price. Also for what I paid for one Jacket you could buy at least 3 good quality copies. For me, I am into this whole minimal, less in the Wardrobe, investing in quality pieces malarkey! So each to their own, but if you do decide to take the plunge, there is no better time than now, as All Saints are holding a Instagram Biker Portraits Campaign where if you upload your photo wearing one of their Biker Jackets,then you could be chosen as the face of their new campaign. WIN,WIN!!
Thanks for reading and look out for my You Tube GET READY WITH ME video which will be up on Thursday! If you havent had enough of me then come on and say HI on…….
