Plum is the new black

As the Autumn/ Winter collections hit the shops the excitement of all the new season trends is overwhelming. But if your feeling bewildered by it all my top tip is pick purple. I can't get enough of it! It is the perfect winter colour and a nice change from harsh black. So experiment with every shade- from indigo to plum. Pick fur collared coats, cloche hats, midi dresses and shoe boots in your favourite purple to be fashion ready for the cold weather!

Here's me in a little purple number from Ebony Jacob in Ormskirk - plus I'm working the collar trend with my pearl collar from Topshop!

The return of the knitting needles...

Mummy Locks is back to knitting her signature knitted bow headbands- the original and the best!

Move over Topshop, these knitted headbands are lovingly hand knitted out of beautiful and unusual wools in a range of gorgeous colours. They are extra chunky and cosy so will see you through even the coldest winter days. And even better news is that they don't give you hat hair! What's not to love?





All of these headbands are available to order through facebook and are £15. Get them before they are gone!

Its all about the collar

As winter is starting to creep in and the new collections of wooly jumpers and winter coats hit the shops the excitement of only 100 days until Christmas is growing. But, what do you do when the weather isn't quite cold enough to enjoy the new collections we can't wait to get our hands on?
Well, the solution is the trusty collar! They are everywhere and there is so many ways to wear them. Why not update last years leather jacket with a detachable fur collar such as the ones found on ASOS? Or layer up last seasons dress with a cute shirt underneath? The geek chic trend is huge and especially now the school term has just started. Experiment with clashing colours and layer jumpers with a peter pan collar peaking out from underneath. Collars have now even become a fashion accessory of their own. For a quirky finishing touch for your Saturday night outfit why not add a jewelled collar like the ones seen in Miss selfridge? To give your collar even more of a quirky edge tie a bow with clashing fabrics. Remember- experiment and have fun! This trend is an easy transition until we can get back to our winter woolies so enjoy it!


Lots of Love
