Hey you guys, so it's been a hectic week and I don't know about you, but the way I like to deal with my emotions is by buying them clothes. Some people eat their feelings, I buy things for mine.
You might remember me telling you before that my close friend Vanessa Cranfield (we met when our boys were at kindy together 16 years ago) has a label called South Of The Border, which is like my fashion sense come to life. She has always been someone whose style I've copied because we share a style sensibility. We are both mothers in our 40s who like to have fun with clothes but need to be comfortable and practical at the same time (even if/when we're wearing sequins or sparkles). We get in and out of cars a lot. We bend down. We walk places fast. We're not size zero or even close to it (my body is 'confronting', in case you haven't heard. )
So here is my edit, with Ness, of my top 10 picks for Summer. I own every piece and I can't stop wearing any of them.
Type in "MIAx" (that sounds like my porn name but it will save you money) as the promo code at checkout and you will get 20 PERCENT OFF.
Here is a note from Vanessa:
"Mia says she is often asked if she owns part of South of the Border because of how often she wears our clothes. There is a reason for this. She is exactly the person I think of when I'm working on my pieces. Mia is a working mother, spinning plates, just like the rest of us. She needs clothes that take her from the workplace to school pickup, then soccer with a dog walk in between.
