My wardrobe has desperately needed sorting out but funnily enough it hasn’t been high on my list of priorities, I’ve been slightly too busy juggling children and boring household chores. However, last weekend I couldn’t take it any more. I realised I was wearing the same few items which were just being washed and put back on and I needed to declutter. My wardrobe and drawers were full, just not with clothes I wore anymore. I grabbed a bin bag and took a closer look – old work clothes (too small!) and lots of maternity clothes. Some items I greeted…

Last week Kate Middleton was photographed wearing an Orla Kiely coat, which for a long time has been my favourite brand. My small collection is limited to handbags, bedding and stationery. However, an exciting partnership between Orla Kiely and Uniqlo might just make the brand more affordable for me and many others. Speaking about the collaboration, Uniqlo said the Irish born designer’s ‘distinctive graphic and stylized motifs with their clean repeat constructions achieve a very modern style whilst her love for all things mid century adds a nostalgic quality.’ Teen blogger Tavi Gevinson and the singer, Cyndi Lauper star in…

You may remember that last year I was lucky enough to try out Zalando, a new online clothing store for men, women and children featuring well-known brands, for myself. If you fancy trying it out – read on! Zalando online shop is perfect for browsing when you have 5 minutes to yourself, especially when you can’t face getting to the shops through the snow! Post-pregnancy my figure is slowly coming back so I’m on the lookout for a whole new wardrobe. There’s a great choice of women’s clothing and there are a few coats I really like, such as this…

Edward was asked if he would like to try something from Oh Baby London. The company is an independent baby and children’s wear brand created in Brick Lane, London in 2002. What started as an allergic reaction to pastels by founder, designer and mum of two Hannah McHalick has grown to a full collection of cool but cute fashion for kids and the coolest kids products. Eccentric, bold design and irreverent truths like ‘Been Inside For 9 Months’ are the essence of Oh Baby London. Edward was sent the gold bow tie t-shirt which is perfect for all those Christmas…

*****the competition has now closed and the winner notified***** Edward was asked if he would like to try some clothes from Ellos, a new retailer in the UK. They’re a Scandinavian brand who are as big as Very.co.uk and Asos in Scandinavia. He was sent some lovely new tshirts and a 2 piece outfit featuring Snoopy. He has worn the dinosaur tshirts a couple of times and they fit really well and, more importantly, wash well. He’s also worn the Snoopy outfit as pyjamas as they are lovely and warm and he has a habit of throwing his duvet off…

Hello Third Trimester! I’ve been so busy my feet are barely touching the ground lately! Last week I had a Glucose Challenge Test (which is part of the screening for gestational diabetes) and an extra scan. I’m not too sure what the scan was meant to be checking but everything seemed to be fine. I had an appointment with a consultant today (only my third appointment this pregnancy) and am booked in for another appointment at 36 weeks. I know I’m happy and healthy but I do find it strange I’m 7 months pregnant and have only had three appointments,…
