Hello, so as of yesterday I am doing 4 different looks, so make up, fashion, Jewellery and accessories (footwear and hairband or cap) in 4 days.
So here is my first video and look I did yesterday and there will be more following, this week.
I am now wearing mainly flip flops and I will have some hauls coming up, and I have been looking on Etsy too and I some items on my shop on Etsy too see link here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CarriesNetwork
There will be more added soon. I have items chosen on Boohoo.com and have seen more online stores I’d like to try. I have spells where I want to buy loads of clothes and accessories and then it dies of death and then don’t spend a dime.
If it is a playsuit then I will only have one or two, but not loads unless I see more I’d like to wear, but I don’t like too many of the same item. I have been wearing my black trousers which I wear a lot of, then put back in wardrobe to where other trousers or bottoms.
I have only one pair or Denim shorts and one pair of woollen shorts. I have ordered another two pairs of shorts from Shein, so I will show these once received and I have bought some more bits of make up, and I am so ready to dye my hair and keeping it long and dying it to a red colour.
It is about dressing what you love in your wardrobe and building it so I don’t get bored and I can mix and match, change my make up, and enjoying life with or some days without make up.
Many thanks for reading,

Thank you so much, today has been mixed but seeing that I have had 1K views on this site could not have come at a better time. Thank you so much. I honestly do not expect it as face it we are often busy even with Boris putting his feet up because of COVID, with running a work life with often parenthood, we don’t always get time to read a blog post or anything in that matter and here is a video of me saying thank you on there too.
I will be sharing more on this site, as I am sharing 4 different looks in 4 days so I will be sharing this on this site too, aswell as one of my google blog sites too: https://thestylishmamma.blogspot.com/

Hello, so i am going to add the Weekend chat video I filmed as part of my Life coaching course i am doing, called Project 2021, see site https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com
When it comes to dressing for work, depending on what it is, I go buy what is easy to put on that doesn’t need to be dry cleaned, can I get it in sale and will it last me for several seasons. Basically longevity!
I have worked in Contact Centers when monday to thursday we would have to be in professional office type clothing, but be able to dress down on Fridays and working at the weekend.
Yet when it comes to the Spring and Summer, you can get very hot in certain office attire.
So I love a blazer and found this on a new online shop I have just found called https://ultamodan.com/which I am going to try out. I have had many different styles and colours, because they are great to wear without needing to layer up, and make any outfit look smart.
The office dress! I used on a Sunday go to Debenhams in Wimbledon where they would have a sale on many office dresses, cause it would be stock that hadn’t sold that week and would be on sale, to make space for new items to come in, the following Monday.
This one here is on BOOHOO who do some good dresses, and always seem to have a sale. The dresses I’d buy from Debenhams would be ones from the Wallis section of the store and they latest me a long time and I could then after work put on flips flops and take my work shoes off, and still look smart and professional. Now I work from home I don’t really need this type of dress, but if working in an office again I would.
The office shoe! No there are many styles I like, but this one above is a classic style. I have owned shoes like this in different colours, flat or with a more of a higher heel. I would change my shoes from work to a sandal or a flip flop, but these shoes can be worn summer or winter, and still look Stylish even with a pair of leggins.
The one you see above is on amazon.com and is my main site I always order from.
The Skirt! A must for me when working in a professional environment and had may different styles either in black, patterned or in a grey colour.
Does you wardrobe have to be in dark colours?
No, not neccessarily! I have wanted different colours red, pink (usually patterned) and either Straight cut or pencil.
Adding a bit of colour can be a nice to stand out, especially if you are looking to take on a new position and been promoted and it makes a change from wearing mainly dark colours, that we can kind of associate office clothes to be.
The Bag! So I have had many styles and I love a good bag, as when I worked and would travel to work, I would make sure it was big enough for my Diary, a book as i liked to read when travelling to work sometimes, any make up, my phone, purse and keys.
There are so many options now, but I love amazons bag collections and bought many last year. I also like to check out the bags in stores like, Primark, Very and TK Maxx.
I am someone who likes collectables when it comes to dressing for work, and I now work a lot at home, but once i start to do, Radio, TV, shows and podcasts etc, I will be wearing clothes for those, which will be far from working in an office.
So many thanks for reading, have a good rest of the Saturday and a good weekend,

Hello and welcome! When it comes to fashion shopping do we do it backwards? Well I know I have, where I have bought something that doesn’t go with anything in my wardrobe at all, and then I have had to then buy an item that does.
Now I buy items by going through the items I have that I can add to it, and as i buy new items I will let items I haven’t worn or go through things I could wear that i haven’t, but with every new item, an item is either recycled, donated or sold online.
I will often as part of a Seasonal Clean up I like to do, make my closet priority to go through items I have worn a lot, items I like to wear as a change and items I yet still to wear and take it out to remind me to wear it.
When I move into my new home I will be having a rail where I will put items and outfits to be worn, and then have a system where I mix my outfits up, and go through bags, shoes and accesseries.
When it comes to buying I will often have a lot of items in a basket, but no to buy but potentially and then leave it and come back to it, to see if still want those items.
Fashion has to be comfortable but stylish and shows me as a person and who I am.
So when shopping, go through pieces you’d like to add and spend time sorting through your closet to get the most out of it.
Many thanks for reading,

When it comes to the weekends I do wear things differently to what I wear during the week. Like now I am wearing a black dress in respect of Prince Philips the Duke of Edinburgh because it is his Funeral today and I am going to write an inspiring story about the Gentlemen who was the Queens husband and loyal companion.
If you want to see what dress I am wearing here is one similar I have found.
This dress if available from Amazon.com and I don’t tend to do plain but with dresses I do and I always like to have a black dress in my wardrobe as they are my easy wearing go to weekend, no fuss clothes and as it is summer a pair of flip flops.
Flip flops never go out of fashion and I have since the Spring has arrived with Summer ont he horizon mentioned them a lot.
I often do black with black but if you want to add a bit of colour with a black dress, then a gold or a bright colour can really change the black dress from being good to looking “Yes she loves the summer at the weekend”.
These are great to wear at the weekends, especially if you have BBQ to go to soon or when you meet friends and sit outside a pub enjoying a glass of Presseco and a pub meal.
Yes I hear a pub meal calling “Soon we’ll be found” mine and my sons song, by the wonderful Sia.
You could with the dress, with the nice flip flop/sandals with the ankle jewellery wear matching gold pieces, Earrings, Bracelet and Necklace.
Then there is Sunglasses. Now I don’t pay a lot for a set of Sunglasses and I do have a few pairs, but I stick to two pairs of different styles, and I am still a Raiband Girl.
Then there is the bag. There is the beach bag, the basket bag and shoulder bag. These tend to be my choices and I love bag sets. I do sometimes use a Tote but my first choice would be a Basket summer tote and a shoulder bag.
So what clothes and accessories do you like to wear at the weekends this time of year? and if you know of some retailers that you’d like to recommend then please all recommendations are welcomed.

So first of all I want to introduce some new sites I have created on google blogger, and one is called the Stylish Mamma, Thrills and Thrills of Fantastic Meals, Books and Stories and My Style Way Of Living.
You can find these on Google Blogspot and the Books and Stories on WordPress.com.
I love fashion and I like having many things, like Jewellery and having items like an Ankle Bracelet can be a great way to get that Summer Glam vibe.
I find these are great for the beach, or sitting with your love one near a Swimming pool and with a good pair of summer shoes.
I invest in flip flops and I have found some really lovely pairs from Amazon, Light in a box, Shein and AiryCloth.
These are gorgeous and on my favourite APP Wish, and this store just to warn you if you haven’t seen my other blogs, is addictive.
Then there is the Maxi dress. Now some I can never buy cause many are designed on Tall women, but I have bought some on amazon, which fitted me perfectly.
So if you need a bit of inspiration check out Pinterest or google shop for items and honestly having a good versitile wardrobe can be the just what you need, as the dress above can been worn with White Ankle Boots too, and check out my new site: https://thestylishmamma.blogspot.com/
It is all about getting more and saving less. This dress is about £40, yet it can last you several summers and more.
So have a good weekend, and see tomorrow.

Hello and welcome! So, if you have been following me on this site you would have seen that I have been sharing some Look Books, and as the weather is changing so is my fashion and I do dress for the different seasons, but of items I can wear all year round, but layering for the colder months and just basic staple items for the summer.
I have discovered a new site called Light In The Box:
They have some lovely items on offer from classy to fun, and yes many things have caught my eye. So do check them out and I have put this look together:
So this is what I like to wear and for the week ahead. I tend to go for these colours, and looking to die and style my hair more, as I do have some really exciting events coming up, and so I feel this look is perfect for the week ahead.
The pink Flip flops I bought this week from Amazon and I love them, I like to treat myself to a new pair each year and these will be great, I am wearing a yellow and black camisole top, from very so why I have added this colour at the bottom the look book.
I do like a Blazer and the one in the photo is one I bought from Very, and i love it, with my pink glamour flip flops from last year, and I love an Ankle Bracelet, they are timeless and always an staple for me.
As I go into the week, I do wear a kind of a casual office vibe look with a hint of glam and tailored, and just easy wearing.
So, I do a try on video to come, and more look books to share as we get nearer to summer, with more spring type looks.
Many thanks for reading,

Hello! It is time for another Daily Fashion Look book. I am getting the summer vibe and so I have had my flip flops out and have been wearing a dress and shorts without tights. It means the warmer weather is near.
I was wearing a jumper dress, which I love to wear from Autumn to spring, and wear it with flip flops or tights with a pair of flat ballet pump shoes.
The Jumper Dress is from Amazon.com and the other fashion is from Shein and Airy Cloth, which is a online retailer I discovered this year.
I have chosen these items because they are my go to summer clothes as i love colour and that stand out sometimes. I am that girl who will wear leggins all year round, and jeans.
You can still wear boots in the summer but also that you can dress with sandles and the ones you see above the black ones are my type of shoes i love wearing again, ALL YEAR ROUND! that is me so, I hope you like this fashion look book and see you again soon.
Many thanks for reading,

Hello, yeah me too! Thank You weekend you are here, God bless you. Sorry who sneezed? Anyway, so it is Saturday “No shit sherlock” and I have another Look Book to share.
So I like to mix up clothes and footwear, so I when I work on the music concerts and festivals I have items I can swap and change into, but wear these above other times to. I like to mix everyday items to seasonal events and summer and spring is no exception. Being April we don’t want to be wearing anything too heavy and you see the image of me. That is my kind of uniform, but I do like to be less plain too, and I think I want to bring this out more, as looking at it, it is a bit boring, but there is always room for improvement.
When on holiday and at a music festival I don’t wanna be carrying a heavy bag so a shoulder bag ideal, and being on my feet all day I need footwear to be easy wearing, so I can dance and the short denim trousers I love to have, as you can dress these up or be super casual but still be stylish at the same.
I love a stylish top with colour and is interesting, and so take a look and see if this look suits you and get the most out of your clothes.
Many thanks reading,
