As you all probably know by now, I love clothes and I love fashion, but if I'm honest, my true love is shoes and bags! I've definitely built up my own little collection over the years, and one thing I will say is that I look after what I buy. I do think that once you do that, it tends to last.

I love getting dolled up, and when I say dolled up, I mean properly dolled up! A nice dress, heels and a bag, the whole lot. Whether it's a girls' night or a weekend away with Eddie, which is very seldom at the moment actually, now that I think of it, I need to put that on the list! It's so important to carve out some time for you and your partner, isn't it girls? But sometimes it just gets pushed to the bottom of the pile.

If I'm honest, I did struggle with my style after I had the twins, and I think everyone does. You're learning about your new body and you just want to be comfortable. But comfortable doesn't have to mean not looking well, it's about feeling comfy and still put together, which can be hard sometimes!

Where I shop

As you all know by now, I'm a Penneys girl through and through, I should have shares in the place at this stage 😂 Whether it's for me, Eddie or the kids, it's a one-stop shop in my opinion. There's no holiday, trip or event in this house that we don't do a Penneys run for, and if I can go into one shop and sort everyone in one go, that's a big win for me!

I also love H&M. They do some really nice basics, and they always have lovely party wear over the Christmas season. And Marks & Spencer, their jeans are second to none. When it comes to jeans, it's so important to find a pair that fits, looks good and feels comfortable at the same time, and I've never bought a pair from M&S that hasn't done all three. And the kids' clothes in M&S, I can't cope!

Then day to day, I'll be honest with you, I live in my 4THARQ fleeces and leggings. They're comfy and they're stylish… well, I think I look stylish anyway! We're big fans of 4THARQ in this house, I'd say we have every colour fleece they've ever launched at this stage! I even had the twins in their kids' fleeces recently, and they're just so cosy and cute. Someone could walk into my house and find us all dressed head to toe in 4THARQ, bar Eddie, we have to get him into a fleece 😂

Make it easy for yourself

I have to say, I do a lot of my shopping online, it's a lifesaver for me. I don't live near any big shops I can just pop into on a Tuesday evening, not without organising childcare and dinners for the rest of them, or lugging them all into the car and heading up the road to Liffey Valley! Online shopping just takes the hassle out of everything for me. My top tip is, once you know your size in a brand and you find a t-shirt or a pair of leggings you love, that look great and you feel comfortable in, order them in two or three colours. Job done!

What would you like to see?

You'll always see snippets of what I'm wearing on Instagram, but here I can share it all in a bit more detail. One thing I will say is that I've always had my staples, no matter what stage of life I was at, before I was pregnant, while I was pregnant and now postpartum, so I'd love to share some of those down the line. Whether you're currently pregnant, have just had a baby, are shopping for an event or need ideas for the kids for Christmas, communions or confirmations, just say the word, sure I've done it all at this stage 😂

Thanks for being here.
