About me....

I'm a 39yr old mumma to Luca(8) and 5yr old twin girls Emmy and Georgia (what a shock to the system that news was..) My husband and I sat in the waiting room for our 12wk scan disagreeing on whether we would go for number 3 after this '1' I was adamant we'd stop a two and we'd never be pitching up for a 12wk scan again, well I was partly right...
So with 3 little ones my flying career as long haul cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic was going to be pretty impossible and I really wanted to be there for them at home and savour these early years...
So my family are my first love, fashion is my second. I'm not a follower of high fashion, I believe you should wear what you want and what suits you, adding accessories or using one part of your outfit to give a nod to whatever the current trend is. I like to mix high end with high street, its all about balance (financially and aesthetically) I spent 10yrs travelling and shopping the world as crew so changing to a stay at home mummy was a huge lifestyle change! That's where the idea of blogging started, a way to keep my finger on the fashion pulse. I began ThePurpleCapsule over 3yrs ago but have neglected it massively over the last couple of years. Began to doubt myself and lost my confidence after such a lifestyle change but I've really missed writing about pieces I've found and outfits I've put together so I've decided to start her up again! I don't claim to be an expert by any means but I love giving others ideas and also reading what you guys like/dislike.
So in conclusion, my mantra is if you love it, wear it, forget the rules (within reason, there's no room for Crocs on adult feet, under 16's only right...?!?

Goodbye summer '14

Thinking summer had gone mid-August it returned in spectacular fashion to the point of still being in shorts  (Zara) in October! 



I do however believe it has now gone and I'm quite looking forward to getting cosied up in a mix and match of different textures this a/w. I spent most of last autumn in faux fur gilets and I'm most definitely bringing 'em back out this year. On colder days I pop a leather biker under which gives a fab contrast of textures. 




Teaming with leather legs and Converse keeps it dressed down and easy daywear. 
Blk gilet: Miss.Selfridge 
Pink gilet: Zara 
Stripe top:Zara 

So after a summer of brogues, Birkenstocks and blazers I'm looking forward to an Autumn of relaxed tailoring, leather midi-skirts and long boots......💜
