mummy style – the joy of five

For the past few years I have really struggled with my style and have moments of confidence that are then quickly overshadowed with a lot of self doubt regarding my appearance.

I will go out and pick random pieces that I love and then struggle to style with anything else in my wardrobe.

My makeup has not really moved on since my teens and this is another area that really need evaluating as my skin is getting older and more distressed due to the stress of all my little people!

I would love nothing more than someone else injecting their opinion into my style and creating a capsule wardrobe that will allow me to have some great key pieces to see me though the Autumn and winter season.

Thankfully Centrale and Whitgift have come together to offer their ‘Your 5’ event from the 7th-9th October, which enables you to book a slot for free with a stylist to select five key pieces for you or a makeup artist to select the perfect makeup for your skin type and tone.

The first fifty people to book and download the Plus App will be gifted a goodie bag at their consultation and be in with the chance to win a £250 gift voucher.

Im going to be popping along on Friday so keep an eye out for how I get on.

I stopped wearing necklaces a while ago due to the fact that so many got completly ruined at the hands of inquisitive babies and toddlers.

They are like magpies, they spot something around your neck and drag and pull at it until they have part of in in their sticky little mitts.

When I was asked by the lovely ladies at Lara And Ollie to try out their stylish looking teething necklace I jumped at the chance.

There is a vast choice of different colours with beautiful stacking bangles to match. I opted for the black, grey and cream necklace as I felt that it would fit in well with the majority of my wardrobe and would be the perfect tones for the colder weather we have coming up.

As soon as I put it on number five made a beeline for it and was more than happy to sit there and chew and pull on it without causing him or the necklace any halm.

I have also found it really handy to pass to him to keep him amused if he gets a bit ratty. Let’s face it they all want to play with anything but a toy!
