Kitty, I've tried a few different brands but the best one I have is a random brand from TK Maxx. Have seen good ones in M&S and House of Fraser sells the Maidenform ones, which are also good. The trick is to tuck them into your jeans so they don't ride up on you The ones that tuck under your bra are good too as they tend to not ride up as much and your boobs are not squashed down. HTH x

Aw, thank you Kitty. Secret 1 - I wear a support vest every day (twin pregnancy has made this an essential) Secret 2 - Pilates and Secret 3 - without ever planning to, I actually do the 5/2 diet. Never realised I did until I read about it. I eat normally for 5 days out of the week and eat very little for 2. Not planned or anything…my body just seems to need less food on certain days. Having said all that, I find it harder to maintain my weight as I approach 40 and know I will need to work a bit harder going forward…the daily walks re-commence tomorrow! xx

Hi Avril,
Great scarves and lovely outfits. How do you manage to stay so slim? Your clothes always look so good on you I have started to do some exercise since turning 40 last year but it's always such an effort. My problem is the white wine I think. It has a tendency to hang around my middle. What's your secret?

Hi there!! Love your blog and especially this post-a lady after my own heart who adores scarves!! These ones from M&S and your gifted one are really lovely and I too have rather a scarf addiction as shown in my latest purchase and post! have a great week ahead!

That scarf looks really interesting; look forward to seeing how you style it. I've stayed away from the sales in Dublin so far ... but now you're tempting me to have a little look tomorrow!!

Evan is a wee star - that's the third amazing scarf he's sent me. Could be something to do with his v stylish mummy ;)
I'm just not sure about velvet myself - I worry it's a bit old fashioned. But now you remind me of your blush ones, I'm thinking that they actually are going to be fab…off to try them on now! xx

Thank you Jane! Ax

Thank you! I think I could make them work…it's not the style so much as telling people you're wearing jeggings - strange word! Ax

Yes, it's a funny print but I think it could work with the right outfit. My NY challenge! Loved your haul too - great wedge trainers! x

Ooooh!!! Love the scarf that Evan got you and I must get some of those tanks when I'm over! The Mango boots look fabulous too! Didn't realise velvet was a bad thing - I think they look great and the color is lush! I just got some velvet matchstick jeans in blush in the sale at J.Crew - they are lovely - dressed up or down. xx

Love the Hobbs coat.

I love your jeggings! I suppose jeggings is a bad word, but I think they're divine!

It looks like you've had a successful sale shopping trip. I find M&S and bit of a hit & miss. Sometimes, there's loads I like and other times there's nothing.

I'd also seen and dithered over that red/check scarf... agree about the red - may go back and have another look. Look forward to seeing how you wear it. xx
