The bomber jacket is a major trend for 2016 and is expected to be hanging around throughout the rest of this year. We love a simple mum hack here at This Is Mothership so here is the best on yet – throw on your favourite skinny jeans that have faded knees and...

Have you had a lovely sunny weekend? It’s been great not having to layer up and panic about getting caught out in a rainstorm without a coat. However, the problem is that we all get cocky and forget to plan ahead for the next season and then miss out. The best...

My handbags are my most prized-possession (after my family, my health, blah blah blah.) It didn’t ever cross my mind that once I had a baby I wouldn’t be able to use them. I leave the house everyday with my mum bag, which has a small zip compartment for my...

I’ve been noticing something about my online shopping habits recently: I’ve been clicking on the ‘active-wear’ tab on websites and this is something I’ve never ever done before. It’s not because I’ve suddenly become a gym...

When we were pregnant we found nothing more frustrating than ordering loads of maternity clothes online, waiting for them to arrive to try them on and then finding that nothing looked or felt right. It’s hard enough having a rapidly changing body, but combine...

I’m not sure if you’ve realised it yet but we have a slight obsession with Instagram. It’s taken us through those tough early days with a new born (or were we the only ones scrolling and scrolling into the wee hours?) and it gives us a moment of...

It’s that time of year when every store goes on sale – which is wonderful if you are a 15 year old girl and love nipping around Topshop at Oxford Circus on a Saturday afternoon, but it’s not such great news if you are (approximately) 30 years old and...

As if it’s not hard enough trying to find normal clothes to cover up your new fancy mum-bod, it suddenly is taken to another level when you are trying to find pieces for a holiday. I’m off on holiday next week with some mum friends and everyone is freaking...

I finally feel that we are safely into the naked ankles/toes territory. That time of year when you still wear the same outfit you’ve been wearing all winter except you start attempting to leave the house without socks and risk wearing sandals. I’ve...

It’s that time of year when the sun (hopefully) comes out and everyone gets married. It’s so hard trying to find the right dress to wear so to save any last minute panics, here is some inspiration in the form of dresses that would work well for plenty of...

It’s really hard to find clothes that you feel great in after you’ve given birth. Your body changes shape and it can take you such a long time to feel like yourself again. From chatting to a bunch of new mums we’ve discovered that the majority of you...

It’s that time of the year where we get the odd ‘in between’ weather. It’s time to pack away the giant oversized parkas that everyone at the park is wearing, and find something fresh and new that will make you feel good every time you put it...

According to our latest Google search, 40% of women struggle to find the correct fit of jeans for their body shape, and 15% of women have cried real tears over finding the perfect pair. I don’t like to admit it so publicly but I’ve definitely cried over...

Oh the mum tum. Even if you actually manage to lose all that baby weight (congratulations!) you are still most likely left with some sexy saggy skin. It’s lucky that swimsuits have become super fashionable this season as they are perfect for covering up the bits...

Do you wear the same clothes everyday? Do you have a standard ‘mum’ wardrobe? I found that after I gave birth and when my body went more back to how it used to be, I wasn’t interested in anything in my wardrobe. I did a car-boot sale last weekend to...
