Changing Your Husbands Style to Match Your Own

Trendy Parent Goals: Changing Your Husbands Style to Match Your Own

Being a parent isn’t the most glamorous lifestyle, but it is still important to maintain your look to ensure you feel happy and confident in yourself. Fashion and style play a huge part in this. What you wear can make you look and feel better about your figure and natural beauty. When you keep up with the latest trends and wear high-end brands, you feel like you can show your look off, instead of being shy and embarrassed. However, maintaining this kind of style and sophistication is easy when it comes to your own fashion and lifestyle choices, but it can be difficult to get our men to follow our lead. If both parents look good when they drop and pick their children up from the school gates, it helps you to become that power couple that everyone aspires to be.

New Look Elf Pyjamas Review

Have you seen the latest range of His and Her Elf pyjamas sets from New Look for this Christmas season? It is not very often that both Mr C and I own similar sets of clothing. The last time we did was years ago, where all of us dressed up in Captain America t-shirts for the new year.

Petit-Fernand Products Review

How do you label your children’s school clothing? It is almost at the end of the school term and some of you might already be looking at getting stick-on labels or personalised stationery for your children. Most schools will emphasise how important it is for you to label your children’s clothing and their belongings so that the items can be identified! It is always shocking to see the mountain of lost and found items at the end of the school year without any labels.

This year, we were so fortunate to get in touch with Petit Fernand to offer us a range of personalised labels and products for review. Petit Fernand are a Bordeaux-based company that offers original, fun and easy-to-use products to help parents and please the children. Moreover, the best part is that all their products are 100% customisable so that they can match your children’s personalities. All their items are made from France and despatch within 48 hours!

Cool Gift Ideas for Super Dad

Anyone can be a father, but not everyone has what it takes to be a dad! A Dad is something special! Dads work day and night to make our lives easier and expect little or none in return. So selecting a Father’s Day gift can be a challenge. If you have not got them any gifts yet, don’t panic!

Whatever he’s into, be it personal care or technology, we know just the sort of cool and affordable gifts that he’s sure to love. I have put up a list of interesting and useful gadgets that we have reviewed earlier this year that are most certainly suitable for him.

Marks & Spencer 2017 School Uniform

First day at school is a huge milestone for children and even parents, and it is easy for them to become anxious about new routines after a long summer break and social situations. As many of you know, Marks & Spencer (M&S) has been making uniforms for decades, and knows what it takes to keep your child smart, confident and comfortable through the school day. At the heart of that is letting kids be themselves and being comfortable in their own skin.

Sportswear Outfits from Jacamo

Badminton is one of Mr C’s favourite sports. He plays regularly and so he often has to replace his sportswear. Mr C had a quick browse of the Jacamo website and they have a good selection of men’s sportswear with accessories, tops, bottoms and footwear. He finds the website easy to navigate and there is a lot of information for him to make an informed choice. Do note that some items are dispatch by Jacamo and some are dispatched directly from the supplier.

He quickly picked up these three sportswear items and he was pleased that they have his size in stock. Mr C has a small frame but sometimes he prefers to wear a slightly bigger size for a loose fit.

My Best First Date

What is my Best First Date? To celebrate this coming Valentine’s day, Mainline Menswear have collaborated with 85 designer brands to offer myself a chance of winning a massive £1250 worth of designer clothing for my husband to write about my best first date.

I’m not going to lie or make up stories about my perfect first date as I didn’t really have much personal experience in dating. My husband was my second first date and of course that was the best. I don’t say that because he will be reading this but he knows it is true anyway. This coming 3rd February is our 10th wedding anniversary and we have made special plans to celebrate it with our children.

3 Feng Shui Tips For Your Wardrobe

We all heard something about Feng Shui – the traditional Chinese philosophy that helps people take care of their life better. It works on many levels in our life, and it works on the premise that what is closest to you has the most impact on your physical and emotional health. And what can be closer to you than your clothing?

Today I am going to share some Feng Shui tips for your wardrobe. To use it or not – it is all up to you, but nothing will change if you won’t make an impact. So do your choices and let’s get to those tips right away.

3 feng shui tips for your wardrobe

Trespass Waterproof Jacket Review

After we had a few days of nice weather, we thought summer was here to stay for a bit longer but the next moment, it turned cold with heavy rain! I am so glad to have this Trespass waterproof ladies jacket to get me through this horrible weather especially as I had it in time for our outdoor adventure to Conkers. It is a great jacket that keeps me warm and cosy.

This is my first time owning a Trespass jacket and I am already impressed with the materials and workmanship. It looks great even after being machine washed at 30°C. We went to Conkers and it kept me protected from the rain and muddy puddles!

Stamptastic Address Stamp

We are very delighted to be part of the Stamptastic Ambassador programme and hope in the near future, we can bring you more exciting news and be reviewing Stamptastic products.

Last year, we had a great opportunity to try out and review their name stamps. Until today, the ink on my children’s clothing is still visible and only a few items of clothing needed to be re-stamped. I am very impressed with it. This is far better than those iron on tags. We have had those name tags before and they start peeling off after about 6 months. With the stamp, it allows you to re-stamp whenever the ink is very light.

Anyway this time around, we had the chance to review their address stamp. They also make customised stamps for crafters/ logos for small businesses etc.

Getting into Frozen Character, Elsa

The popularity of the Frozen movie has been phenomenal from the moment it graced the cinemas in 2013. All the little girls wanted to be like Elsa, the Snow Queen! My daughter, Ms C is the same too! She loves the movie and is mad for all things Frozen including of the dress, plush toys, dolls, wallpaper etc.!

She was so thrilled when she saw this 2 in 1 Frozen Magic Snow Sleeve from Flair and gorgeous Frozen Elsa Deluxe dress from Rubies.
