Blazers are having a huge moment right now and I can not get enough of them! Super easy and versatile to wear, be it for work Monday - Friday, the weekend to Friyay night drinks with friends, paired with tailored trousers, skirts or that cute LBD!
If you know me you’ll know that I’m all about comfort and style and a good blazer does the trick for me and I literally live in them. Come Sunday and doing the weekly food shop guaranteed I’ll be wearing my blazer with a t-shirt and leggings and my favourite Veja trainers.
A blazer has become a style staple in my wardrobe! Don’t believe me just check out my Instagram 90% of my pics I’ll be in blazer, from a leather look one to a checked blazer, if I went into work without one I’m sure my colleagues will think I’m sick and need to be sent back home to go grab one, little do they know I’ve got two out back with about a million pairs of shoes!!
Today I am sharing my favourite 10 blazers online now and I’ve got my eye on this beautiful soft green version from & Other Stories.
How are you styling your blazers?

It's officially Autumn, you can feel the chill in the air the moment you wake up, extra layering is required, from cosy knits to heavier jackets to heavier moisturises and skincare needed.
With the change in weather, your skin needs boosting as it becomes more dryer and dehydrated than usual, we've all been there with our lips craving moisture from chapping, a heavier face cream to give you that extra glow through the bitter cold times.
No one wants to walk around with chapped lips, it is literally the worst thing ever, we all want the perfect pout, in order to get that and combat this weather, you got to get those lips looking just right! Personally I am not a lipstick wearer, still trying to find that right shade, but for those that do and do not want flaky peeling lips with lipstick on, I would certainly recommend investing in Nuxe lip balm to prep and bring moisture into your lips, the botanical oils to lock in the moisture and honey will help rejuvenate, nourish and repair chapped lips. This is a great size to fit into your handbag and certainly would recommend using all year round. The texture is great, it simply just melts into your lips and leaves it silky smooth and feeling uplifted thanks to the subtle hint of grapefruit.

This balm is insane, it literally melts into your skin. This balm also from the Rêve de Miel collection is for the face and body, but I like to keep it as a treat for my face, but another bonus is, is that it is paraben free and I can also use it on Leanora too, perfect for the whole family and children over 3 years of age! Leanora suffers from eczema and this time of year, is when it can flare up quite badly, so thanks to the 6 botanical oils, honey and Shea butter, it locks in the moisture and keeps our skin nourished all day.

My legs, in particular, get extremely dry in the colder months as well as my body being very sensitive, this cream does not irritate it. We all have different skin types and it is so important on finding what works for you and your skin, but I whole hardheartedly cannot recommend this cream enough, it absorbs into the skin immediately, which is great and is non-greasy better for you and your clothes, plus the smell is incredible and so calming.
I don't know what it is, but no matter the weather, come rain or shine, Leanora never wants to wear a coat, you would think she is some half reptile girl child, but luckily that is not the case, as I was there at you know and then again at childbirth....I think ha! But seriously am I the only parent who has a nutbag of a child who never wants to wear a coat? Well maybe not, after chasing Leanora for 20 minutes around the park I gave up, A because what's the point, she will only take it off when my backs turned B I feel a bit silly chasing after my child around the busy park and somewhat embarrassed C embarrassment left when I saw a mother having a go at her little one for taking off his shoes and running around barefoot! And breathe, normality restored, I'm not the only frenzied parent trying to get their kids clothes on and stay firmly on.
With new seasons come new outerwear and what better way to get in to the swing of winter than with a new seasonal appropriate padded puffa jacket. They uber cosy and great for snuggling up in now that the weathers as dropped rapidly. I love that they come in so many different lengths and colours and Next are spoiling us both with so many different choices and styles on offer.
I picked up Leanora's yellow one as its bold plus great to brighten up these dark ice days. Great for wearing it to preschool as it's bright enough to spot her, plus it's perfect as it's fluffy wool lined on the inside and has a hood perfectly keeping her head warm. I styled it with some navy blue leggings and cosy tights underneath, worn with her lucky long-sleeved sweater and sparkly kitty trainers, because which girl does not love sparkly kitty trainers!
I decided to opt for a nice bold red, the colour of the season. I love that it has a high neck to help protect me from all the icy chilly air. I paired it with a mid blue skinny denim jean but works well with any colour denim. I wore a warm tan jumper and white trainers, making it a perfect relaxed look for any day. Why not dress it up with some knee high boots, black skinny jeans and a sparkly top underneath.
With so many different puffa jackets on offer from Next, you are totally spoilt for choice and I'm glad we bagged a few, as when we roll out the house it feels as if we are still at home snuggled in our duvet.
The puffer this winter is our total saviour, has it been yours?
A massive thank you to Next for keeping us warm and feeling like angels wrapped in fluffy clouds and collaborating with us on this post.

The moment I get a whiff of that glorious Autumn air, I go on a hunt for my new cosy knitwear, mohair, cashmere a heavy knit, striped, I crave them all, but this time around I am loving and buying coloured knitwear for Autumn, the bolder the better. Why? Because nothing boosts your day and mood than injecting some colour into your wardrobe and life.
Now I must stress I am not a fashion blogger per say and can talk endlessly about a jumper and hot to style it, that's not just who I am, not that there is anything wrong with it, but boy am I going to talk your head off and get all fashion-y on this post. You ready......! For me it is all about how it hangs, draping, style and fit, but most importantly can I get more than one wear out of it, well of course, but can I style it multiple of ways, and the answer is yes you can!
Balancing act
Why not toughen up and pair your coloured knit with a vinyl skirt, a must-have essential this season, trousers too. Go big, or go home earrings and some sock boots, you're good to go for a Saturday brunch with some pals, and Threenager for me.
Pants up
Heading to work, why not team up your coloured knit with a pair of wide leg, high waisted trousers, tuck in at the front, let it hang at the back, grab a cross body bag costing less than £17, sunnies on then go grab your coffee and your out, business at the bottom, cosy coloured at the top, perfect combo to cheer up those work days.
Jeanius
Soften the whole look up for a more laid-back approach to your days, than wearing your favourite jeans, shirt underneath paired with some loafers makes for the perfect autumn stroll.
Dress-it-up
Found that perfect knit dress, then rock it with some comfy sock boots and you are good to roll, keep it simple.
Are you loving coloured knitwear? How will you be wearing it for Autumn? I'd love to hear your thoughts below.

Do you find yourself engulfed in stress and don't know what to do, where to go or even how to dust your shoulders off and shake it off? Do not worry, I've got you and I am sharing a few tried and tested tips to help you deal with stress the healthy way.
When juggling, home, work and family life, there obviously times when stresses arise, but it is how you deal with it that counts. After a tough few weeks myself with family, home and everything else in the mix, I had to make a decision a HARD decision, but you know what, it is the best decision in the long run for me and my family and happiness. There are certain sacrifices that we have to make, but as hard as they are in life you have to let toxic stress go, in order for you to have a happy and prosperous life.
With all that doom and gloom stress brings, look at it in a positive way, turn a negative into a positive and let that stress push you into a happy, creative, fun loving place. Sometimes the hardest things in life are the easiest to allow you to achieve your goal.
Realisation
Once you realised how stressed you are and knowing that you need to do something about it, is the first step in realising that there is something not quite right. The first step is always the hardest, but it is the perfect step for you to become healthier and happier.
Take control
Eat Healthy
When stressed o one of the first things that can go out the window is your diet! I mean am I right, we literally go for the naughty stuff instantaneously, that naughty chocolate bar or some tasty honey roasted cashew nuts and that can of fizzy, we know it is bad for us, but it is our comfort, but step away from the cheeseburgers guys and those super tasty salty chips and go for an alternative, your gut, and your skin will thank you for it.
Exercise
Nothing burns off negativity and stress quicker than working out, find something that works for you and your lifestyle and most importantly stick to it.
Confide
Now this can be a tricky one, whilst it is great to get your worries off your chest, by confiding and talking to someone, make sure it is the right someone, as so-called friends who you thought were friends, but not really your friend, will find no problem in throwing it right back at you. Surround yourself with positive and trustworthy people that you can rely on.
Take control
Take the bull by the horns and take control when things are going topsy-turvy, the moment you are able to grasp onto your future, the easier and relaxed you will be.
I would love to hear how you handle stress and overcome it, in the comments below, or over on my Twitter page.

As we are moving off slightly from a midsummer nights dream, in a way which I am not quite ready to let go of, but life goes on, plus I will be braving the new Autumn air with my legs out, but don't worry how cold it has been the past few days (early morning and night) I am sure it won't be for very much longer.
Red-burgundy
No, I don't mean Ron Burgundy from Anchor Man I do mean the colours, Red & Burgundy. Red is this seasons must have colour, but I like to ease into that pop of red and start with a nice burgundy, the perfect offset of between the two and delightful warm shades of red and brown, personally I think it is a shade that goes with all skin types.
Shearling jacket
I mean what is not to love, it is always a big hit and I only got involved once last year, but I got my eye on a few shearling/teddy goodies to ease myself into the colder season.
Anything Weekday
The amazing brand is totally having a moment, especially with the new store opening on Regent Street, which FYI I am heading to, kid free over the weekend to stock up on so much needed essentials! Well, that's a laugh I want it all, plus I spied online that they are currently having 20% off ALL JEANS! Yup you heard me all jeans guys!
Sweaters
You know I am totally having a sweater moment, it's a massive game changer right now, be it paired with a skirt, backless with some comfy jeans or just something to lounge around in the house in, whatever! Make it a must this pay day and peruse this vast list I created for you guys to check out and snap a few of your favourites too.
Biggin it up
Quite literally go big or go home, and seeing as I'm on the tube with two bags, I'm just gonna go home, jump on the laptop and search for a big bag! This seasons trend is a must have big bag and I'm totally all over this trend, not just because I've spotted a few good ones but, it enables me to carry everything and anything, i.e. I could probably throw Leanora in their, so miss 1 mile per hour walking tortoise can get somewhere!
Book
Before I had L, I was a major reader and I am currently on a hunt for a few good books, be it self-help, fiction or not I plan on delving and getting lost in a few this month, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Mirror
Ok, so I have been living in my home for like 2 years and I am yet to find a mirror to go in the living room! I am a woman on a mission this month and I need some help in finding a large mirror, be it silver, grey or white I need something big! Every time I find something that I love it sells out, so guys yet again help me out, know of any good stores or markets, wherever just help a Mumma out with some suggestions!
Movie
Yes this has totally made the cut and I am a major fan of the original and I know that sometimes remakes can be atrocious, but I am dying to see IT yes IT I remember watching it as a kid and it scared the crap outta me literally my skin ran off and left me looking like a ghost! Damn, I love a scary movie, truly nothing makes me happier than a movie scaring me shitless and IT gets me excited, plus hottie Alexander Skarsgård younger brother is in it, playing the main role, sooooo a total must see, even just to perv over him!
What do you think of my September Edit Wish List? If you guys like maybe I can do one every month? Have you got anything you have your eyes set on this month, or have you snapped any of the bits above? I would love to hear your comments below.
Happy September.
