Good Morning Ladies, How are we all? Hopefully you are all back to your routines after the bank holiday and have been enjoying this nicer weather! As always we have some fab requests this week and it really does show that so many of you are planning outfits way in advance, reducing the risk of outfit stress and have a great handle on what works for you and your personal style. So let's get cracking eh? Member Request 1 Paula S Spring / Rectangle / Size 14 / Classic Trendy
I am thinking of adding a couple of band tees
(to wear with pleated skirts, trainers and biker/denim jacket)

Good Morning Ladies,
How are you all?
It feels like across the board, in our membership and Instagram so many of us
(including myself) are feeling a bit out of sorts.
Having sat and thought about it I do think that a lot of why we are struggling to know what to wear right now and why we feel our mojo has left the building,
is because of the last 2 years.
We have lived in comfy clothing, not really had to find purposeful outfits, been to events etc and sometimes didn't really want or feel the need to make an effort.
So it's understandable .
However it really is down to you to make changes.

Good Morning Ladies, How the devil are you? I hope these slightly lighter mornings & evenings have given you the much needed boost I think we have all been after. Don't forget the clocks change tomorrow and we lose an hour in bed - ON MOTHERS DAY - thanks! With so much heaviness in the world right now I think being able to get outside more and breathe in that fresh air makes all the difference. We are back to walking the school run and it feels good. (join us for school run ramblings over on my Instagram) So many of you have been in touch with feedback on your Matalan purchases 2 week ago ..read more

Hey gorgeous ladies.
Reading this you may be one of my amazing, committed Style HUB members, or you may be someone who just simply likes to read Style Fix,
see what's new in and shop others requests.
However, as I started writing this blog I got thinking.....
7 years of Style Guide and 5 years of the Style HUB.
Wow - time has FLOWN.
I have literally written a style blog every week (except for 1 when I gave myself a weeks holiday) for that WHOLE time!
I'd love to work out how much time I've actually saved my members and how much money they have back in their purse from not making unsuitable pu ..read more

Good morning ladies, wow - how is it August now? It's the birthday month of all our little 'Leo Lion's' and we are in the depth of the school holidays. Arghhhh! My mindset around the school holidays is to NOT compare the activities YOU do with your kids to what other people choose to do. It's so easy to look at social media and feel guilt about what you're NOT doing, how much technology your kids are consuming and how hard it is to juggle work and them being home. I feel bad about the boys being in holiday club but the truth is THEY LOVE IT and let's be real here, they'd probably LOVE being ho ..read more

Good morning ladies, so this week we have a double whammy. As you know we are just back from our holidays and I have 2 weeks of requests to source. Some of you may have seen my recent update on Instagram about why I've been a little quieter than normal and a huge thank-you to everyone that reached out. I'm still here- giving you the style and confidence goods every week and in the background taking my very own advice, lol! On to our Style HUB member requests > Member Request 1 Louise L Size 12 / Autumn / Rectangle

Morning you gorgeous lot. So many times people say to me they don't know how 'I do it all' as a solo parent ( I honestly don't like the phrase 'single mum at all). Well the answer is - I start work at 5am. I'm laid in bed writing this, yep. I'm an absolute lark and feel my best early morning so I tend to cram a few hours work in before the kids get up! The other answer is - I don't have a choice. I chose this path and I bloody well own it. It's definitely hard for sure and Matt is always at the end of the phone (although that only been the last 3 years) but ultimately I just make it work. I do ..read more

Good Morning and a happy Saturday to you all. I know I say this a lot, but WHERE are the weeks going? The school holidays are once again around the corner, holiday countdowns are on and warm weather wardrobes are being built (or stressed about in some cases). So to kick us off I want to remind you, that if you are struggling to find summer clothing that works for you - or are just at the beginning of your journey, fed up with everything you wore last year (or maybe even pre-covid) then my holiday capsule wardrobe guide is a great place to start.

Goooooooooood Morning Ladies.
HAPPY JUBILEE WEEKEND
How are you all?
I hope you have some fun planned this weekend,
whether it be with family,
friends or just enjoying
some time off work.
I think we are off to Penistone Gala with the kids, which can only mean one thing - spending lots of money on pointless tat.
Makes me shudder as I know the following day they won't look at it twice but on the day need it all more than life.
I have so much to cover this week.
I'm back from a week away in Turkey and have to say I feel really refreshed despite being on the prosecco most days.
I always have so ..read more

Hey Ladies, I'm writing this from the hair salon whilst being sat getting my roots done. Woah, 8 weeks has DRAGGED! Even the kids were telling me to 'get rid of the black' - the cheeky sods! However this week is the start of my holiday glow up.
Matt has decided to take me away for my holiday
(which is a first as no-one has ever paid for me to go on holiday before).
Please don't think I take this for granted, it will be a much needed feet up as I have lots going on behind the scenes which I can;t wait to share when the time is right.
So, we are off to Turkey on the 29th and I cannot wait.
