The question I’m asked the most about maternity clothing collections is who does the best maternity leggings. Followed closely by who does the best maternity jeans. I put it down to one thing: when you’re pregnant, comfort is everything. There’s so many aches, pains and niggles to contend with like swollen ankles, lower back twinges… Read more »
Anyone lost their minds in this heatwave? Just me? Nope, I didn’t think so! I hate to moan about the glorious weather but when you’re twenty weeks pregnant with a raised base-body temp, 30-degree London heat is really not ideal! We’ve been tackling the intensity of it all by taking early morning walks (the earlier,… Read more »
Any mum knows that catching a few moments when we’re out and about with the kids to concentrate on the task in hand is sometimes near impossible. We need all the distraction techniques – often in snack form – and when we’re running low (on food and patience) the emergency stash of toys is called upon. Here I’m working… Read more »
Linen. I love how it feels so summery the second you put it on. Its ability to instantly make a day feel very ‘together’ and a low-key look become something very polished.

Straw bags – where do you stand? They’re everywhere, and while an ‘It’ trend can put some off entirely, when you like something, you like something and that’s all there is to it.

I’ve already dusted off my straw bags, dug out the espadrilles and fallen hard for this flippy frill wrap dress but hang on a minute, it’s freezing! We all seem to be navigating a tricky climate of… Read more »
Before I became a mother I had little interest in prams. Some of my friends would wax lyrical about this and that brand and I just couldn’t get into the pram chat. I wasn’t interested. But you see when I had Hector and a pram instantly became the most important piece of equipment in my daily routine,… Read more »

If you’re not so familiar with this truly down-to-earth lifestyle brand, then now’s the time to make friends. You see Toast really comes alive during… Read more »
Veja trainers. Sound familiar? Probably not yet. But it’s a name you’ll know well soon enough, because Veja are fast gaining popularity amongst the well-dressed set. You’ve probably already spied Veja trainers on feet-around-town or scrolling through Instagram feeds, but haven’t been able to find them in the shops. The clean, minimalist lines caught your eye and… Read more »
It’s time to talk baby food. I’ve yet to meet a mama who doesn’t dish out the rice cakes and raisins while out and about with baby. Whether strolling in the pram, pushing the trolley at the supermarket or plonked in a highchair at the local coffee shop, there’s times when feeding bubs a home-cooked… Read more »
