Despite Liz’s optimism in the previous post, I’m afraid that the rain is here to stay…..But, no worries, us hectic mum’s have learnt to cope with whatever life throws at us, and so we know we are probably going to have to kit the whole family out with rainwear to get us through the school holidays. But can we do it stylishly? Of course we can! (more…)

So after a hectic time with the photoshoot for the new catalogue last week I’ve only just had chance to sit down, have a breather and finally upload the backstage pictures I promised to show you.

 

The week was such a success and by the end we had managed to squeeze in a load of shots of the gorgeous new ranges (I’ve got my eye on a couple of Lipsy dresses, such as this LBD, ready for when I finally get a chance to go on a night out!).

 

There were hairdryers and rollers flying everywhere with powder brushes and mascara going ten to the dozen to glam up our lovely models ready for the photos (not that they needed much help!).

 

So here’s a sneaky preview…

So the big news in the Kilburn household and the Hectic Mum office this week is the news that I am now a Hectic Mum To Be!!! Having felt very tired for the last few months (my mum thought I was anaemic) and also putting weight on, I failed to realise exactly what was going on until the 16th person asked me if I was pregnant!! Right, I thought, I’ll take a test just to prove them wrong!!   But, I ended up proving myself wrong. Having broken the shocking but happy news to my husband I booked an appointment at the Dr’s for a second opinion! She confirmed I was pregnant and estimated I was about 16 weeks!!! (more…)

Here at Get The Label headquarters we’ve got a bit of a hectic week. We’re shooting the images for the next book coming out in August so this means racks and racks of gorgeous clothes and some gorgeous models thrown into the mix!

 

I’ve just got back from the menswear shoot and the rest of the week will be taken up for womenswear. I’m going to be uploading some sneak previews of the womenswear collections by the end of the week but until then, here’s a cheeky glimpse of our male model Ainsley….

It’s that time of year again – yes sale season is here at Get The Label!! And we at Hectic Mum love this time of year - we can fill our wardrobes – and those of our loved ones – for half the price. And when you’ve got kids it’s all about budgeting wisely as we all know well!!

So, what is the sensible way to shop the sales to ensure that you don’t end up wasting money on stuff you won’t wear and you only bought because it was cheap? My three sale rules are keep it simple, go for the basics and try everything on!!! If it doesn’t fit you now it probably never will – so take a deep breath and if it doesn’t do up – walk away!!

I’ve had a look on the Get The Label site and found a few perfect pieces for you to snap up…
