School Gate Style #1
I thought I would have a go at making some school gate style mood boards on The Ana Mum Diary blog. So here is my first, in hopefully a collection, as the seasons progress.

Bertie Ronda Double Ankle Strap Boots Tan – House of Fraser
This post comes with huge thanks to Jen from Love Chic Living, who wrote a fantastic post, explaining how to make a polyvore mood board, using a ‘clip it to polyvore’ button on your tool bar.
I love the idea, that as I see things that I like whilst on the internet, I can clip them to my account, to make a mood board later with them. What a fantastic idea, I think this may revolutionise the way I shop and blog!

Panache : A Valentines Day Wish

I love Panache underwear!
I love the retro feel to Panache, the attention to detail and the finish of the Lingerie. Panache make beautiful underwear that lasts, providing fantastic support, but making sure you both look and feel gorgeous too! Panache is a leading D plus lingerie specialist that has an amazing reputation based on 3 core values:
Fit, Support & Comfort.
Panache’s products are continually improved and developed to ensure that the company leads both in terms of fit and quality, (I can completely vouch for this) as well as sourcing of the most beautiful fabrics and keeping a keen eye on production. They move quickly and are very style and fashion savvy, and that’s what I want, and I think what most women want. To look pretty and feminine, and dare I say sexy in their underwear. To have a strong sense of style and fashion but most importantly the fit needs to be right!
Tall Dad and I are going away over night as a Valentines treat, but not until the end of the month so this was a really lovely surprise to receive from Panache. A set of lingerie from the Cleo range, a Valentines DVD and Agent Provocateur massage oil, and I love all three of them!
The Cleo Range :
Pick and mix up your underwear drawer with the new range of D-J cup lingerie from Cleo. Fabulous fit, shape boosting support and delicious comfort. All wrapped up in a range of completely gorgeous designs that will leave you looking and feeling wonderful.
I love this set of Lingerie and the fit is amazing! I also wear lots of navy, so I think this set will look great underneath that. In fact I am so thrilled with the fit, that I very nearly posted a photograph of me wearing them…almost as I then realised I was too shy to actually do it.
So a huge thank you to Panache for my lovely gifts, I cant wait to wear this sent of Lingerie and my Valentines wish, is to have some time with my Hubby to enjoy them!
Thank you for reading

I Love….
This week I wanted to look at some of the vintage inspired things that I love.
First up is The Cambridge Satchel Company, It may sound silly, but I crave to own one of their satchels, I’ve even had dreams about it! It would be hard decision between:
The Batchel, (£113) a satchel with the addition of a top handle. In an unusual and gorgeous combination of brown and navy.
Or a more traditional satchel (the 15″ is £84) this would make a great handbag, or case to put your laptop in .
Next up is a dress. I love this one from Monsoon, the Orange Capri Dress (reduced from £50 to £30) it has a 1940′s feel to it I think, and its in the sale, bonus!
Jewellery : a twist on the ID from the fabulous Chambers and Beau, the Luxe Leather Maxi ID friendship wrap (£90) I love the idea of adding something this luxurious and personal to an outfit, and these ID bracelets really do put a modern twist on the idea.

My final item are these shoes from Schuh by Red or Dead, Tegan high heels (£100) I always find wedges easier to wear than high heel, and love the colours of these.
I think I’ve inadvertently chosen a complete outfit there, oops, sorry Tall Dad!
So these are the items I love, what do you think?

Vintage Style
Well this is my first Magpie Monday post since I started my blog, and I wanted to share with you a collection of vintage things that I won, and arrived over the weekend.
They are from the gorgeous My Vintage online store and here they are:
There was a scarf with the words ‘Riviera Adriatica’ with small printed scenes on it, such as Loreto and Bellaria on it. It’s really beautiful, I’ve never owned a vintage scarf before, so this will be much treasured.
A feather brooch, and 50′s cats eye sunglasses. A leather (i think 1980′s) handbag, a gorgeous teal colour, it is made in England, but no makers mark. Finally a Country Casuals Italian leather belt.
Here they are being worn, by my glamorous assistant (Miss N)
and finally an action shot, the morning sunshine made it quite difficult to capture but….

I love the effect in the end! Miss N and vintage style!
Please head over to My Vintage for other gorgeous vintage pieces, it has the most amazing collection, you can follow @emmabphilosophy too on twitter. Yesterday she was asking ladies to tell her your dress size, budget and style wish, and she would find you the perfect vintage piece…go on I dare you (she’s REALLY good at it!)
For other Magpie Monday finds please go to the Me and my shadow blog.
