Now, I’m no professional photographer, but I do love taking pics of my beautiful babies!! Here are my top 5 tips of how to get great shots of your babes. All the photos on my Instagram page are my own (unless otherwise stated), but these gorgeous pics were taken by the very gorgeous and talented Steph Brown.
I’ve been (online) shopping with Feather & Noise since it began in 2013.
I was sitting in a café with my mothers group just after having Zee, and was admiring my new friends outfit. Of course, I had to ask where she got it and she told me that a friend of hers had started an online Facebook group where you could buy good quality, stylish clothes at really affordable prices. I immediately jumped on to the page and requested to join. From that moment on, I was an F&N lover.
Style is often described as a personal language, a way of expressing identity without saying a word. For busy mothers in particular, getting dressed can feel like one of the few moments each day that belongs entirely to them. Choosing fabrics, colours and silhouettes that feel comfortable and confident helps turn routine mornings into small acts of self care. A simple wardrobe of well loved basics, paired with a few statement pieces, makes everyday dressing easier and more enjoyable, especially when time and energy are in short supply.
A practical approach to personal style does not require a huge budget or a constantly updated wardrobe. Many people find that investing in quality staples, learning how to layer, and paying attention to fit makes outfits feel more polished. Neutral tones can be mixed and matched effortlessly, while a pop of colour or pattern adds personality. Small details, such as the right pair of shoes or a favourite accessory, often complete a look more effectively than any trend-driven purchase.
Motherhood reshapes the way many women think about fashion. Comfort becomes just as important as appearance, especially during pregnancy, postpartum recovery and the busy early years of raising children. Stretchy waistbands, soft knits, easy layering pieces and supportive footwear tend to become everyday heroes. Choosing clothes that move with the body, wash well and look considered allows mothers to feel put together even on the most hectic days, whether they are at home, on the school run or meeting friends for coffee.
Social media has changed how people discover and engage with style inspiration. Platforms such as Instagram, blogs and online galleries offer endless ideas for outfits, home interiors and lifestyle choices. Following creators who share relatable, real life looks often feels more useful than chasing high fashion editorials. Many readers appreciate honest reviews, everyday outfit posts and tips on how to adapt trends to suit different body shapes, budgets and family routines, which is why personal style blogs continue to thrive.
Finding a personal style that works alongside family life is ultimately about balance. It is less about following every new trend and more about knowing what feels right, what suits the body, and what makes the wearer smile when they catch their reflection. With thoughtful choices, even the simplest outfits can feel expressive. Style becomes a quiet form of creativity, a daily reminder that looking after oneself is an important and rewarding part of looking after everyone else.
