It's minus two degrees this cold and frosty morning and I am well-wrapped up on my way to work! I find it difficult to be stylishly dressed for work when "the bump" is this big and it's an added challenge when it's this cold. Today, I am wearing my Topshop maternity jeans, vintage tan boots, navy and cream Whistles scarf and camel Zara coat. Under the coat, I have layered a Whistles navy waffle knit tunic over the top of a long navy Whistles jersey. Hope you are all managing to stay cosy!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I find myself coveting the most impractical items of clothing for a woman in my condition! Is it the fact that I can't wear these styles of clothing at the moment that is making me want to wear them even more?!<br />
<br />
Out of habit, I have been looking for investment buys for Spring/Summer but it is difficult to unless the item is an accessory! I refuse to spend a fortune on maternity wear as it would be a waste of money and it is a risk investing in Spring/Summer clothes as I will have a post baby physique and will not be my body shape/size until I lose the extra baby weight! In the meantime, however, I have decided to cheer myself up with these very cosy Ash "Vanna Aviator" trainers, lined in sheepskin, which I managed to buy half price in the sale. They look lovely with my skinny Topshop maternity jeans and they give me happy feet!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I am wearing a khaki bronze silk top by one of my favourite designers Malene Birger; paired with high waisted black tailored trousers by Whistles; my black resin necklace from Whistles that I can't live without and black patent kitten heels from LK Bennett. I just need my morning coffee and then I am all set to go! "Buy! Buy!...Sell! Sell!"</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">The above is of a stunning classic navy cashmere coat from Giorgio Armani, teamed with a red patent leather Louis Vuitton bag. All 100% authentic and 100% up for grabs!</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">This is a beautiful jacket and skirt from Ralph Lauren. Very classic. The buttons of the jacket are jet black diamante and are exquisite. I have matched the jacket with a nude silk Humanoid racer back cami. Wear the jacket separately with skinny jeans, a t-shirt and ballet pumps. Very classic and very gorgeous.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">How delicious is this? This jacket is from YSL's Rive Gauche A/W 2003/4 runway collection! Need I say more...?! This purple velvet jacket with lilac silk sash is to die for. I wish I could keep this for myself! Dress it down with jeans or wear over a floaty silk mini dress. Absolutely stunning.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Hope this leaves you hungry for more...! Will let you know when the on-line shop is up and running. Have a lovely weekend!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Hallelujah! Another beautiful hot, summer's day! After a hard day's work and early start, (Bea got me up at 6am!) the idea of unwinding in a beautiful pub garden with a glass of chilled rose was very appealing to say the least. It didn't take much persuasion to convince my friend and colleague, Mikhaila, to go for an after work drink. The Horse Guards in Tillington, West Sussex, has a magical garden tucked away and in it I found a stylish old bicycle and used it as a prop. I was so taken with the garden that I'd like to use it for a photo shoot. </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">"The sun has got his hat on! Hip hip hip...!" At last, today feels like a summer's day. I don't usually like to get my short, solid legs out but I was so overjoyed to see the sun that I gave in and put on a playsuit! After a very hectic week, we finally spent the day together as a family. We took the dog for a long walk this morning and then drove up to London and had a very enjoyable afternoon celebrating a friend's birthday lunch in a charming pub garden. Oh happy days! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">By the way, I'd like to introduce you to my daughter Beatrice (mostly known as Bea). As my husband was attempting to take some pictures she clambered up me as she wanted to be snapped too! I am wearing a playsuit from Whistles; a black leather plaited belt from Jigsaw; a gold chain with a french horn from Whistles; Rayban sunglasses and my favourite sandals which are from Prada and come out every summer. (Bea is wearing a floral dress from Cath Kidston and her red Crocs!) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">After an exhausting but exhilarating day styling and shooting outfits for my up and coming on-line shop, I need a little down time today! Yesterday couldn't have gone more smoothly but I feel a sense of relief now that it's over. I can't wait to show you the images and outfits from the shoot and they should be ready for viewing in about a week's time. Items for the shoot included a beautiful Acne shirt; DVF dress; Mike and Chris leather jacket; Issa rabbit fur jacket and Ralph Lauren skirt and jacket.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">To be completely honest, after styling all those outfits and seeing an end to such a hectic week, I feel like being a little sloppy today! So, I am wearing a Sandro stripey jersey dress over Topshop skinny jeans, my little Mulberry snakeskin bag and comfy Jigsaw tan wedges and a tired but happy smile!... "Strike a pose..."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today, it's still wet and gloomy and all I want to do is feel cosy, stay at home and drink lots of tea but unfortunately I have to go to work! We're almost into July but it feels like April. In fact, in April we were spoilt with glorious sunshine and warmth. The weather seems to be back to front and upside down. Light layers are the perfect answer to today's what-to-wear-dilemma: a cashmere Jigsaw jumper layered over a cream silk lace Jigsaw cami; a pair of Freda leggings as an alternative to jeans (I live in jeans!); my trusty cream quilted leather pumps from Hobbs and an old red Miu Miu leather satchel. "Hi ho! Hi ho! It's off to..."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">On Saturday, I was taking my daughter to a car boot sale and then going on to meet a friend for lunch. I settled on black J Brand skinny jeans, an Aubin and Wills check shirt dress, a beige DVF mac, a pair of H by Hudson ankle boots and my trusty black Alexa. (Started the day off looking considerably more stylish than at the end of the day. Suddenly decided to plant my herb garden in the afternoon in between showers...mad dogs and Englishmen!... so had to put on old gardening clothes and looked considerably less together!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This morning the skies were much brighter and we were looking forward to spending Father's day at a classic car show. I took an optimistic risk and wore faithful black J Brand skinnies, Whistles silk top, vintage arran cardi, Jigsaw scarf and Jigsaw wedges. The risk paid off and the rain held off! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

The weather and the setting couldn't have been more perfect. The gazebos and bunting were up and the croquet was in place; the rails were packed with beautiful vintage and new/nearly new designer clothes; the cakes baked and tea on the go! By 11 am there was a gaggle of excited women ready to shop! There was a lot of anticipation in the air! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

On the vintage trunk there's another small Mulberry bag in green leather; a cognac leather Russell and Bromley bag; LK Bennett shoes; Castaner wedges; Ash sandals; an LK Bennet snakeskin oversized clutch; gold quilted leather French Sole ballet pumps and a brown suede and patent leather Anya Hindmarch bag.

I had in mind beautiful rural landscapes as a backdrop, so where better to stage it than in some of the land around my house, including the eerily beautiful woods with a ruin at the edge of the property.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The day of the shoot couldn't have been more perfect: as I wanted the photos to be outdoors I knew it didn't have to be sunny in order to get some lovely images but I also knew that good weather would buoy everyone's moods! Things couldn't have been better: The sun was shining and I felt a bit giddy with excitement.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I couldn't have achieved this without the help and support of my lovely, talented friends. My closest friend Faye was a model and was kind enough to come out of retirement just for me. I had a very clear idea in my head about how I wanted the images to look - natural, effortless and beautiful. Faye was an obvious first choice of model for me and I was honoured that she agreed to help me out. I was also fortunate enough to have help from another friend, Beth Steddon from <a href="http://garage-studios.co.uk/">http://garage-studios.co.uk/</a> who took the photographs. Saffron Powell (freelance) did Faye's hair and make up and of course I styled the clothes. The clothes used in the shoot are for sale and will be available on the website once it's up and running.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The morning was mostly taken up with hair and make-up and also selecting which outfits to use in each different location. A couple of coffees later and we were shooting! I was so fortunate to work with such professionals who understood my brief. I was also lucky enough to have a friend help look after my 16 month old daughter too which meant that I was free to be hands on.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The first shots were taken in the garden, in front of a huge oak tree. Faye's initial outfit was a goldy bronze short pleated dress by Halston Heritage with incredible pleated angel sleeves. All of the photographs taken below were by me as I wanted to document the day, so I apologise in advance if they aren't very professional but I just wanted to share the day with you all!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For lunch, we sat on the lawn in the glorious sunshine and I made a butternut squash salad with rocket and feta and we had bread and cold meats with it. A cheeky bottle of white wine was opened too. Once our batteries were charged we were on the move again as we had a lot of outfits to get through.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">In this shot, the bluebells were out in force in the wood and made the perfect romantic setting! The lighting was really dappled and soft.

<div style="text-align: center;">There is also a small ruin of what we think must have been a coach house in the wood and that also made an ideal photo opportunity. Here Faye is modelling a beautiful rose-gold full-length pleated maxi grecian dress by Halston Heritage. It complemented Faye's colouring perfectly and went beautifully with the stunning half moon brass earrings by Nicci Bethell.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My husband and I have a couple of classic cars and we used the 1959 Peugeot 203 in this shot. It's a really pretty, quirky car which complemented the nostalgic feel of the shoot. In this shot, Faye's wearing a strapless navy silk top from Amanda Wakeley and a skinny pair of white J Brand jeans. Once we had enough images of this outfit it was time for a quick cup of tea and slice of homemade cake before the final outfit change and to make the most of the light before it got too dark to continue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It was love at first sight! It was the perfect combination of the weight of cotton/silk mix (which meant it felt lovely to wear) and style.</span> A simple, short sleeved v-neck with a little pocket on the front. Understated, practical and luxurious too; everything I look for in an investment buy! The fact that it was Balenciaga also might have had something to do with it! Feeling a little giddy, I ignored the £75 price tag and convinced myself that cost per wear it would be worth every penny. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US">One very happy wear later (tucked into tailored black Balenciaga shorts, worn with black patent Miu Miu sling backs) and it was time to go in the wash...</span></div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

On closer inspection, I discovered that my t-shirt was dry clean only (+*^%!). I have never spent that sort of money on a white t-shirt since. How can an expensive white t-shirt that you can't wash in the washing machine be an investment buy? To dry clean a white t-shirt after every wear is a huge expense, not practical and will ultimately put you off wearing it. This was an expensive lesson learnt!</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><br />

I have picked out some of my favourite key pieces from the catwalks and have found more affordable high street alternatives! Clever dressing is about dressing well for less and selecting styles that suit you but also choosing items which will hopefully last longer than just a season. Let the designers influence but not dictate your style!</span></o:p></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> A simple white tee is the key accessory to complement wearing this season's bright colours and also catwalk trends. The best news is that everyone can afford a white tee and also find a style that suits them! White t-shirts can look tired and grey fairly quickly and need re-newing regularly. Remember to keep things simple. Wearing white with bright colours is the perfect complement as black can make them look cheap and garish! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; line-height: 17px;">In my next blog, I will be recommending different white tee's and reminiscing the loss of the best white t-shirt I </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; line-height: 17px;">ever had!

We are increasingly surrounded by on-trend images in magazines and on the catwalks and yet we seem to be more confused about what to wear than ever! <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">My style hasn’t changed much over the last ten years: I tend to live in J Brand skinny jeans, cosy cashmere and converse when I’m off duty and at home playing with my daughter or walking the dog. When I’m at work I generally like to wear pretty Whistles dresses teamed with a Sandro or a Whistles jacket and Jigsaw riding boots. These are my signature uniforms for work and play! I have to be comfortable and to feel good in what I’m wearing. My clothes also have to be fairly durable as having a one year old and a dog can be pretty tough on your wardrobe! Finding the right style that suits you and your lifestyle can make such a difference in how you feel about yourself, and also how you come across to other people. If you like what you’re wearing and feel good wearing it then you’ll come across as more confident to others which I think is important in all aspects of life, not just the workplace.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Trends come and go with the seasons. Personally, I think that if you have the basics in place then it’s easy to buy the more high fashion pieces to update your look for the season. However, if the item you’re buying doesn’t have much longevity and you only want to enjoy it for a season then it’s best not to spend a lot of money on it and to shop around and try to find a cheaper alternative. The latest trend isn’t necessarily flattering for you. So if you just want to have a bit of fun with the latest trends, find a way of incorporating a hint of it in your wardrobe. I will be making some suggestions how to incorporate spring/summer trends into your daily wardrobe next week without breaking the bank.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">As I mentioned earlier, my personal style hasn’t changed much over the last decade. I probably invest in a designer bag every couple of years if I can afford it as bags are such big news in the style stakes. At the moment I am loving my black Mulberry Alexa and take it everywhere with me. It’s a modern classic and is really practical as I can wear it worn across the body which frees up my arms when I am carrying my daughter. Another recent investment buy was a Missoni snood which ties in with all the colours in my wardrobe. It’s practical as it keeps me warm but it’s stylish too. It’s not going to date either and I can see myself continuing to wear and enjoy it for years to come.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">So far I’ve mentioned designer labels but I wear a lot from Zara and Topshop, even the odd charity shop find too. I am also a big fan of Ebay which is where I have bought some of my designer clothes at bargain prices. If I like it then it doesn’t matter to me where it’s from and if I can get it discounted or at a bargain price then even better! I like to mix and match high street labels with designer pieces and a little bit of vintage thrown into the mix. Being someone who is obsessed with clothes but is a mother and only works part-time I do not have a disposable income. I think that if you shop around you don’t have to spend a fortune on staying stylish and up to date. What is crucial though is sticking to styles that work best for you: your shape; age; lifestyle; job and budget. Does it compliment you and make you feel good? Ask yourself if you can see yourself wearing it in a couple of years to come or is it just an impulse buy that will stay unworn in your wardrobe?<o:p></o:p></span><br />
