Hush Summer Fashion Event at John Lewis
Hush is a brand that was once known for its homewares, then its lush leisurewear, and is now known for its beautiful, wearable fashion pieces.

It started off with the Beast from the East , and some of the coldest conditions I think I have ever lived through, and ended with Easter, which also promised snow, but turned out to be not too bad after all.

10 Tips to be a Yummy Mummy
Everyone’s idea of a yummy mummy is different – but in most cases the definition is an attractive (dare we say it) middle aged Mother who wears trendy clothes in-keeping with the latest fashion, has amazing hair that isn’t out of place – and has make-up that will never appear smudged.
