Oh. My. The Style Mentors (and a bit on me and mine)
Stuff The boy wrote a song about his much adored Nana today. ‘Nana nana nana naaaaaaana. Nana is a lady.’ Followed by verse 2 ‘Clemmence Clemmence Clemence Cleeeeeeemence.

socks. sandals. gasp!

switch to superga?
Surely Superga is the ideal Italian style to schlep in? These supposedly all-season shoes are bound to cause allegiance grievance to current super sneak brand Converse. Will the pram-pushing-pavement-pounding yummy mums switch? Perhaps – they’re refreshingly refined and available in prettier, floral-friendly shades.

3 ways to wear stripes – classic, cute & cool
Here’s my take on the best way to wear stripes this summer. It’ll all work when it gets colder too with denim and chunky tights – I love stripes, preferably navy and white, and will happily wear them all year round.
