I'm so obsessed with making sure that Little Man looks good that I've only just realised I've stopped taking the pride in my own appearance that I once did. I came to this realisation this week when I caught sight of myself, pushing the pram, in a shop window. Flat shoes, leggings, hair scrapped back in a pony-tail and not a scrap of make-up. I looked more pram-face than yummy mummy. It was a bad moment. I came home and promptly ditched all my leggings. 'It's about time you did that,' Big Man said to me. Er, why didn't he mention this before? I promptly booked myself a hair appointment and pulled my skinny jeans and tailored jackets back out of the wardrobe where they have been gathering mothballs for the last 18 months. 'You look like you again,' BM smiled as I gave him a little fashion show (complete with heels). My New Year's resolution is to stay away from leggings and unflattering boots from now on. Comfort doesn't mean dressing like a slob!
In honour of my (overdue, it seems) re-birth, I'd like to point all yummies in the direction of
www.madeleine-thompson.com and in particular to the SS12 dresses. As always here are a selection of my favourite styles and designs.

These fab cashmere dresses are perfect daywear for spring and the stripes will be bang on trend. (Brilliant news as we love a bit of nautical in our household.) I'm planning on pairing mine with a cropped denim jacket, wedges and big sunglasses. Well, when it gets warmer obviously. It's scarves and gloves all the way at the moment. The gorgeous dresses will be available from www.net-a-porter.com in February. Just promise me one thing, you won't wear over a pair of leggings.
lots of love
