Jo a great friend of mine tipped me off to Maria Tash, I was fascinated, I loved the idea of adding a bit of edginess to my look but I was held back by the waiting list and the fear of the pain, they might inflict. Jo has managed to get a spot and she will be reporting back for us next week! It got me thinking about earrings though.
I am not sure, I can carry this multi pierced look off, I adore the mini hoops but they are expensive, you can check out Maria Tash at Liberty and I will feature how Jo got on next week.
Earrings were on our discussion list last week, when I sat down with Hannah Stafford Taylor, who will contributing regularly to Catwalkschoolgates ( she has a second child due at any time but she has promised to keep sharing her tips with us) .
This woman is beautiful, kind, a savvy shopper but best of all she has a sublime eye for where to spend and where not to. She is the woman, on the School Run, who is wearing something we all want, looking stylish but never a slave to fashion.

After chatting last week, I now feel armoured to embrace earrings, I was scared but now with Hannah’s tips , I no longer worry about looking like a crazed middle aged woman, with dangly bits hanging off her ears.
Why earrings?
- We need to use the clothes we already have and adding a great pair of earrings, changes to look of an outfit.
- Throw on a pair of statement earrings and you only need minimum ‘getting ready’ time and you can keep your make up simple.
- The right earrings make you feel happy when you put them on and bring light and interest to your face.
