My favourite Christmas decorations for 2026! I've started my collection with 20 glass hanging tree baubles - all the viral food and drink ones plus the fun novelty ones. Think caterpillar cakes, chocolate bars, bourbon creams, bakery buns, truffle crisps, combo mix snacks, cheese and wine, pickles, BBQ burgers, cocktails, coffee and champagne, plus DIY tools and darts. Each one is glass, so detailed and sparkly on the tree. Our tree is very personal, eclectic and very us - over 40 style, full of our favourite treats and things that make us smile. I'm still adding to this list with more festive favourites for our home - all shoppable with my personal notes on each one!

Christmas knits for the whole family - chic, cosy and festive over 40! My edit of the best Christmas jumpers and cardigans for women over 40, plus family matching and jumpers for our furry friends! From classic red fairisle and cream cable knits to pink, green and sparkle - think festive but chic, cosy but flattering. I've found lots from TU Clothing at Sainsbury's (great price and quality) and will be adding more shops as we go. All tried and tested for everyday festive styling - school runs, dog walks, Christmas markets, Christmas Day around the table and party season. Family matching included so you, your daughter, granddaughter and even the dog can all match!

Christmas pajamas have landed in Sainsbury’s and I had to make a list! I filmed my reel in Tu at Broadcut Fareham yesterday — they have 20% off all Tu clothing right now. I’m 44, size 14 and I live in my PJs between Christmas and New Year after my community shifts. I’ve added the prints I saw in store plus a few I spotted online that I had to include. Family matching Santa checks which made me chuckle thinking of Dean in them, my personal fave gingerbread / pretzel and mug prints, and the cutest baby sleepsuits for first Christmases. All lovely and soft, true to size and perfect for Christmas Eve.

My October wardrobe — all about cosy autumn layers, pumpkin picking and everyday over-40 style! This month I'm living in my old favourite Joe Browns heritage check blazer (I've linked the new 2026 Ruby Heritage Check version here — same cut, just this year's gorgeous ruby tartan) and this new Joules Orchard Cotton Blend Knitted Vest that I'm wearing to Sunnyfields Farm for pumpkin time tomorrow. I’ve styled them with striped long sleeves, jeans and boots, plus my FatFace pumpkin necklace and Holly Honeywell pumpkin studs for a full-on autumn look. All my October go-to’s are linked below — easy, wearable and perfect for pumpkin patches, pub lunches and crisp autumn walks.

My Autumn 2026 high street try-on haul from Whiteley! Sharing my favourite finds from Marks & Spencer, Next, Tu Clothing at Sainsbury's and George at Asda. All tried on in the fitting room, size 14, 5'4", over 40 style - what fits, what to size up in, and how I style it for everyday. I'll be adding Tu and Asda over the next few days so follow along for new in! All my recs are true to size and linked.

My Christmas jewellery edit for over 40 style from my Whiteley shop around this week. I wanted to pull together festive earrings that are lightweight for sensitive ears and not tacky. I started in M&S where everything was under £12.50, then added a couple of crystal brooches for party blazers and a little Butler & Wilson wishlist for Christmas Day. I’ll keep adding high street finds as I spot them for work parties and family dinners.

My everyday jewellery favourites — a little mix of woodland whimsy and autumn cosy. This all started with my Beccles holiday find — the Holly Honeywell toadstool studs from Beccles market — and snowballed into a full collection! Inside you'll find my Holly Honeywell earrings (handpainted, hypoallergenic and so fun for Halloween & autumn) and my FatFace autumn necklaces — pumpkin for Sunnyfields, toadstool, acorn leaf and the little squirrel I couldn't resist. All affordable, dainty, and very over-40 wearable. Just 2 more to go to make this board officially occupied!

My curated edit of true autumn/winter staples - pieces I reach for on repeat every year. Think timeless, comfy, flattering and easy to style for everyday over-40 style. All tried and tested, with lots of high-street finds and great dupes for the designer-looking favourites.

Hair accessories I actually wear for work and everyday - over 40 style! 🦔🍂 I always wear a hair claw keeping my hair tied back for work, so I've started collecting cute ones that are still smart enough for the office. I have very fine hair but I still manage with most hair claws like this - my trick is I use mini satin scrunchies underneath for extra grip! In this list you'll find my autumn favourites from FatFace - my brown hedgehog claw that's a must for autumn, my fox claw, my everyday tortoiseshell heart, my pink swan and flamingo claws ready for my September holiday on the Norfolk Broads, and my October Halloween picks (ghost, pumpkin and the fun 4-pack for the pumpkin farm!). I also love Free People's fantastic range of animal claws and Anthropologie's croissant clip. All everyday, over 40, work-friendly hair claws that hold well all day.

🐰🐶🐭 My fussy zoo - honest faves for rabbits, dogs & chinchilla! Welcome to our pet-mad house! I have two very fussy rabbits who think plain hay is a bed unless it has flowers in it, a little Pomeranian called Pom-Pom who is tiny but convinced she's a medium dog, a German Spitz who loves both chicken & beef flavours, and our old boy chinchilla who lives for his raisin treat. This list is everything that actually gets eaten / played with / slept in here - no wasted money! Started with Food and snacks for my furry friends (10 recs) but I'm adding toys, bedding, leads, grooming & more as I find things they love.

These are my everyday essentials that I actually use in our house every single day. From the Fairy washing up liquid my grandma used, my mum uses, I use and now my daughter uses - to Zoflora that I remember from my grandma's cupboard under the sink, to quick fixes for pet & kid mishaps on the carpet and fabrics. All tried, tested and re-bought monthly in our house with extra sensitive skin and pets. No fancy things you use once - just the real everyday things that keep our home clean, fresh and running! I keep adding to this list as I run out and find what really works - so save it for when you need to re-stock! If you have pets, kids, or sensitive skin like me - this is for you!
