A Mother's Love

S

If there's one thing I've learned about the strength of a Mother's love, it's that a mother will go through hardships if it means their children won't have to. They'll take whatever they have to on the chin if it means their children won't have to go through the pain... So for those of you Mum's who braved the fullet-perm trend (as seen on my fashion-forward mother) on behalf of us daughters of the 1980's... 

Thank you for paving the way and teaching us that one day we will regret following trends. You showed us pictures and we laughed and said it would never happen to us.... But we wore midriffs and tartan skirts (a la Clueless), we wore baggy cargo pants and turned our hair orange with Sun-In... And now you can have the last laugh... 

Because the 90's are back and we're wearing thigh-high socks and colouring our hair pink and blue... again... 

I for one am going to own it - for a second time around! But please, please promise me - if the perm or fullet comes back in style - PLEASE don't try to own that a second time around?! Because I'm sorry, but it really didn't work the first time... So thank you for trying it, going through the pain and hardship of wearing it and keeping the proof of what us kids of the noughties should never, never try at home.

LOVE YOU MUM xx

My Mother - Style Inspiration.

S

 

Kathlyn.

She carries herself with a gentle grace.

Loves a good laugh but is elegantly refined.

Independent with a gracious strength.

My mother has taught me everything I know about the art of being a woman.

 

Style Inspiration from a 50's baby.

I was always jealous that my mum got to live through the 50's, 60's and 70's - but now I just take inspiration from her wardrobe and she gives me tips on my designs and how to make them 'cooler'.

Don't you just love that?!

I used to love looking at these old photographs of her and always admired her style - I still do! She was a true fashionista before the word was even invented and as a teenager would have things made by local dressmakers from her own designs! It must be where I get it from.

She taught me Dedication.
When I was growing up, she would paint her nails once a week, and roll her hair with heated rollers every second day before going to work. She had a dedicated skincare routine and was always classicly organised. I didn't think much of it as a kid - but as I'm growing older I'm realising just how incredibly stylish she is. (So I'll forgive her for the 80's!!)

You just don't seem to see much of the old Hollywood class these days. 
I mean seriously - doesn't she just LOOK like a movie star?
She's always reminded me of Audrey Hepburn.

To this day she still rolls her hair in heated rollers every second day before going to work.

Without fail.
