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...?!?

Marvellous Midi 💜

Hey fellow fashion lovers. Hope you're enjoying the bright chilly autumnal weather, it's my favourite time of year, love getting wrapped up, something really chic about a gorgeous scarf wrapped around the neck and sunglasses donned! My 3yr olds are truly confused by the dark bedtimes and just as dark wake-ups, doesn't take much mind bless them 💕
So I've been snooping on the Next website recently....dangerously deceptive with their 'buy now pay later' account and the 24hr delivery service, sometimes you just NEED that dreamy item on your doorstep ASAP! Came across this gorgeous faux leather midi skirt in oxblood (also comes in blk) a snip at £38. It's buttery soft and hangs beautifully, almost fish-tail like. Love to team oxblood with a pop of colour, orange works really well as does bright pink, even if it's just in the form of a skinny belt or clutch, brightening up an autumn/winter outfit. 

Thanks for reading, would love to hear your thoughts/ideas too! 
Have a great week 💜
