FAMILY, FASHION, FRIENDS AND STAYING
FABULOUS WITH TWO KIDS UNDER 10! •

I never thought I’d say this but I miss
having both of the kids at home with

used it as an excuse to hit the shops. After all, I want
to feel fabulous on my first day...!
I managed to avoid falling into my usual trap of working
backwards and choosing shoes first, by starting with
trousers and skirts. All summer I was obsessed with
high-waist, loose trousers and finally found some in
Hobbs. They’re super comfortable but still look really
