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...?!?

Miranda Dunn London

I had the pleasure of going to have a look at Miranda Dunn London new season faux fur coats last week. The venue was the Electric House in Notting Hill which was pretty amazing itself but the best was yet to come up in the Library,  the most gorgeous display of THE coats you're gonna want to wear all day errrrday of Autumn/Winter....




Miranda Dunn creates bespoke pieces with faux fur featuring predominantly.  It really is the most exquisite faux fur, amazing quality that is difficult to find in high street faux fur pieces. I have one and am patiently awaiting my second (that sounds like i'm having a baby, NOT a chance) I purchased a navy blue coat last year and LIVED in it, normally dressed down with skinny jeans and trainers but also looks great with fitted tuxedo trousers/cami/heels on a chilly night out.






There are a range of colours from classic black to pale pink, there's lots of options including adding initials on the back or a star maybe, depends how adventurous you are! I guess I went for plain colour as I really do think I'll want to wear this for years to come and wanted to keep it as wearable as possible. This year I've ordered an opal grey plain, a little longer and without a collar (I did say it was bespoke!) I had a little try on of the black with pink spots, which is so cute...




They really are the most beautiful, timeless coats, I can't wait to start wearing mine again shortly!  Oh and the news of these delicious coats has made it's way to the celebs too, Emilia Fox and Fearne Cotton quite clearly being fans...




The cherry on the top of this clothing label is that Miranda herself is the warmest, most lovely lady you could meet and beautiful to boot! Head to mirandadunnlondon to begin your faux fur creation....


Thanks for reading as always
