The Sunday Edit: Weekly Inspo

Another weekend gone in a flash, it seems like the older I get the quicker life seems to go by… doesn’t stop the Sunday dreads though so here’s my weekly inspiration post to help me and hopefully you feel revved up to make this week a good one. Whether you’re a stay at home mum, mum to small babies, working mum, mum to teens, mum to a mum or mum to be, we are all a boss of something… we are all doing a great job… we just sometimes need to be reminded of that. And reminded to look after ourselves as well as our families.

This week I am setting myself three simple goals:

The Wardrobe Edit: Bomber Jackets

I didn’t think I was a bomber kinda girl but last night I caved and ordered one online… I have tried on several over the past few months, embroidered, nineties style, black, khaki, satin, pink… but kept handing them back to the assistants and walking away … but pondering them still as I left.

Like most of my bad shopping habits I blame Instagram! They just look so great on everyone else the urge to grab some of that nineties nonchalance is too much.

The Wardrobe Edit: Peep Show

Whilst Winter is all about throwing on a chunky knit and keeping warm whose to say you can’t still play around with a little lace. There is something so alluring and strangely acceptable about a little black lace peeping out of your sweater. In those Summer months lace underwear can look a little too OTT but paired with oversized knits, boyfriend jeans and even trainers, it takes on a new personality and brings the whole scruffy but sexy look together. I have ordered a super cute teddie from Missguided which I put on my Instagram but there are plenty of tops that have lace built into them on the highstreet now. I have put three of my favourites below as well as my usual inspo shots.

H&M vest top

Zara lace dress

Kooples lace vest top

 

I would love to hear from you.

Thank you,

The Wardrobe Edit: Why you need a hat this season

This Autumn Winter is the season you need to buy a hat! It will be your best friend and it is the ultimate wardrobe transformer! The perfect alternative when it is raining, the harder the fabric and wider the brim the better, no more fussing around with a brolly (especially when out pushing the buggy!).  Perfect for keeping you warm as the cold comes in, as our mothers always said,  and if you’re worried about hat hair, just keep a miniature dry-hair spray in your handbag to give your roots some volume when you take it off. I prefer the classic Batiste never lets me down!

The highstreet has so many hats right now and I wouldn’t spend a fortune if you do plan to wear it in the rain, natural fabrics don’t bode well in wet weather so the high street alternatives are ideal. Click on these links to see my pick of the bunch…

And as usual I have including some gorgeous inspirations images … if you have a few moments I hope you can soak up the amazing style these girls have and then get creative with styling up your wardrobe with your own gorgeous Winter hat. Be brave!
