Bronagh is hungover. England are out. Hanna has arrived wearing the most incredible sequin kimono and is about to save Bronagh's entire Camp Bestival experience. This is exactly the episode we needed.

This week Cara and Bronagh are joined by Hanna from The Savvy Mummy — mum of three, festival veteran of eight years and the person who knows absolutely everything there is to know about taking your family to a festival and actually enjoying it. Hanna has been going to Camp Bestival since her eldest was tiny, camped in her garden during lockdown when they sent DVDs out instead, and is now on to a new favourite called Stowaway where everything is included. She knows her stuff and she is not holding back.

Bronagh is heading to Camp Bestival for the first time and has approximately one million questions — from wagons and fancy dress to posh toilets, skull caps and whether she needs to book the yoga in advance. Hanna answers all of it with the patience of a woman who has done this many, many times. There's also a beautiful moment where they discover they both used to work on the Chanel counter at Bluewater, a very moving wardrobe story in honour of Hanna's late dad, and the most relatable pencil skirt disaster story you'll hear all year.

Oh, and Bronagh buys the skull cap on the pod. Obviously.

• The ultimate Camp Bestival guide — wagons, fancy dress, the kids meal pass, posh toilets and what to actually book in advance
• Festival outfit must haves — Merry People clogs, burnt soul catsuits, sequin kimonos, disco ball leggings and layering essentials
• The Luna Daily wipes, Trinny London stacks and Merit balms that Hanna takes to every festival
• Stowaway festival — the family festival with everything included that you need to know about
• Moving to Deal from Bexleyheath and why Hanna wishes she'd done it sooner
• The Gucci bag her dad bought her at 16 that she'll never part with
• Pencil skirts, hook fastenings and getting tangled up in a Dartford nightclub

West End performer. Wicked film cast member. House renovation survivor. And our kind of person.

This week Cara and Bronagh are joined by the brilliant Courtney Mae Briggs — West End actress, content creator, mum to two year old Minnie, and the woman who played the mum in the Wicked film alongside Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Yes, really. And somehow we nearly got through the whole episode without anyone realising quite how major that is.

Courtney tells us about growing up in Surrey, training at drama college and going straight into work — including the original London cast of Hamilton, Back to the Future the Musical, In the Heights and Strictly Ballroom. She opens up about what it's actually like doing eight shows a week in the West End, the adrenaline of coming offstage at half ten in Covent Garden and immediately going out, and the surreal experience of filming Wicked — singing live on set, doing the whole duet sequence in one Steadicam take, and her costume ripping between takes while sixty crew members stood watching. Oh, and she once farted on stage during Hamilton and the skirt wafted it directly into the audience. 1200 people. She's fine about it now.

House renovations, the chaos of coming home from hospital with a newborn to a building site, why Courtney is completely unbothered about people scuffing her nice kitchen, and the old school video camera she uses to document family life that had everyone reaching for their phones to order one.

• Courtney's route from Surrey to drama college to the original London cast of Hamilton
• What it's really like performing eight shows a week — the fitness, the injuries and the adrenaline
• The Wicked film — how she got the role, filming live on set and why the costume kept splitting
• House renovations, newborns on building sites and why Cara is still waiting for her shower
• Five beauty must haves — Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, Biodance collagen masks, Sunday Riley Good Genes, Pearl Beauty bronzer and Medicube pore pads
• The wardrobe malfunction that shall not be named. (It was the fart. On stage. In Hamilton.)

She's been on the list for years. She was worth the wait. Welcome to the pod, Shelley.

This week Cara and Bronagh are joined by the wonderful Shelley Jackson, better known as @_shelleyloves, the Manchester based qualified stylist and high street aficionado who has been building one of the most genuinely warm and relatable communities on Instagram for nearly a decade. 

From starting a blog on New Year's Day just to tell her friends where Daisy's dress was from, to 200k followers and counting, Shelley's story is one of the best and she's exactly as lovely in person as she comes across online.

The reality of running an Instagram account when you've got kids, a house and a life — and why the bath is actually the secret weapon for getting your work done without the kids seeing you on your phone. 

Shelley also shares her non-negotiable skincare routine, her thoughts on why authenticity is the only thing that actually works on Instagram anymore, and the very specific 90s outfit involving a Born to Be Wild t shirt, a checked skirt and over the knee socks that she thought was absolutely the bee's knees.

• How Shelley built her community from a New Year's Day blog to 200k followers
• The reality of full time content creation as a mum and why the balance doesn't really exist
• Shelley's non-negotiable skincare routine — Heritage Store rosewater, Hada Labo hyaluronic acid, Doctor Sam's moisturiser and why she never strays
• Magnesium salts, Merit and the beauty products she'd never part with
• Raising young adults and the realities (and anxiety) of dealing with a daughter at university
• Shell suits, velvet trousers and the Born to Be Wild era nobody needs to revisit
• Social battery, school runs and why even the friendliest people need a week to recover from a night out

We're back, we're frazzled and the summer holidays are two weeks away. Send help.

It has been a week and a half. Cara is running on three Red Bulls and the last of her patience,

Bronagh spontaneously burst into tears thinking about Dolly going into year six and is now signed up to be class rep.

There's a lot to catch up on.

Listener questions on petite dresses and how to inject colour into your wardrobe, and an honest conversation about eight year old boys, screen time, and why taking the telly off the wall might be the only move left.

Oh, and Cara dyed Delilah's hair pink. Nathan was not consulted.

• Eight year olds, screen time and why Netflix/Amazon Prime putting YouTubers on there has been an absolute betrayal
• A four hour car journey, missing Shania Twain and Harry Styles being surprisingly brilliant
• Garth Brooks at Hyde Park — crimped hair, cowboy boots, old friends and a very unexpected cry
• Soho House Festival coming up and neither of them knows what to wear
• Vintage shopping tips — how to lowball offers and why it's the way forward right now
• Petite dresses and injecting colour into your wardrobe — listener questions answered
• Supplements and why Bronagh is dissolving everything in water
• Delilah's pink hair, Disney California questions and a honeymoon at Walt Disney World

Since landing back from Walt Disney World, Cara and Bronagh have barely stopped.

There's been Mighty Hoopla with Scissor Sisters and a very unexpected backstage moment, Hugo's Holy Communion, Toy Story 5 which made at least one of them cry, and a spontaneous trip to Chinatown for dumplings and nostalgic bangers that made Nathan's entire weekend. 

Oh, and Cara got her belly button pierced. Just casually. In between everything else.

This week they've got Harry Styles (twice for Cara), the Soho House festival with Basement Jaxx headlining, and Garth Brooks at Hyde Park on the horizon.

There's also a deep dive into festival outfit planning when you've got no budget, the return of the Adidas leopard print joggers in snake print, why ties are apparently the thing to wear to Harry Styles right now, and a Rivals debrief that very nearly tips into spoiler territory.

Plus nits, worms, spot popping, and cow hoof abscesses. Because that's just where the conversation went.

• Mighty Hoopla reviewed — the outfits, the backstage moment and why you should go if you never have
• Hugo's Holy Communion — the Child of Prague, the parking chaos, the spread and Gloria Hunniford
• Toy Story 5 — worth it, emotional and makes you put your phone down (briefly)
• What to wear to Harry Styles, Soho House festival and Garth Brooks at Hyde Park
• School Sports Day — do you enjoy the spectacle, or would you rather see your kids and get out ASAP?
• Rivals, Gimme Gimme Gimme and why Rupert Everett is still very much that guy
• Pokemon card shows, pin trading and why both their kids are now obsessed with collecting things

Part two is here and somehow it's even better than part one. Buckle up.

Cara and Bronagh pick up exactly where they left off, and this half of the trip does not disappoint.

We're talking about the moment they got a private preview of the brand new Rock ’n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets before it officially opened, the Muppets themselves turning up to perform live at the after party, and Ben standing there filming the entire thing with the biggest smile on his face. 

We're talking about the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride, the Epcot margarita bar in Mexico that they visited more than once, and the Rose& Crown fireworks dinner that had their server in tears on her very last shift. 

There's also Cara finally making it to Beaches & Cream Soda Shop after years of trying, Bronagh accidentally high fiving Mickey Mouse when he was trying to kiss her hand, and their favourite hotels after staying across three Walt Disney World Resort Hotels.

Oh, and the full breakdown of the Disney dining and drinks deal you need to know about before you book your 2027 holiday.

• Rock ’n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets — a VIP preview of the biggest new ride of the summer
• Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind — still the ultimate ride and why it will always be number one
• The Epcot margarita guide — where to go, what to order and which one to make spicy
• Disney’s BoardWalk Inn reviewed — why it's Cara's dream hotel and worth every bit of hype
• Our favourite Hotels — Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge 
• Roundup Rodeo BBQ, Beaches & Cream Soda Shop, Rose & Crown and more — the restaurant round up
• Disney Dining and Drinks offer for 2027 — everything you need to know before booking, all in one place

Jetlagged, emotional and not even slightly ready to be back. Welcome to part one of our full Walt Disney World review.

Cara and Bronagh are back from the most magical trip and they are not over it. Not even close.

In part one of their Disney lowdown, they take you day by day through the first half of their trip. From landing in Tampa and waking up to giraffes on the balcony at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, to the moment Cara walked into Magic Kingdom and immediately welled up at a mini parade. Obviously.

Why you absolutely need to book Be Our Guest restaurant, and the inside scoop on Cool Kids Summer, Disney's packed programme of family events running all summer long.

Oh, and then there's Bernard. Just when they thought they had nothing left to give after a jam packed couple of weeks, a Disney bus driver with quiz show energy proved there was still room for one more highlight of the trip.

• Flying into Tampa vs Orlando — why it could save you time and money

• Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge reviewed — savannah views, the pool and getting around on the buses

• Magic Kingdom day one — the parade, the characters, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and why Dolly has beef with Daisy Duck

• Pin trading at Walt Disney World — how it works, what to watch out for and why the kids were obsessed

• Be Our Guest restaurant — the Beauty and the Beast ballroom dining experience worth booking

• Cool Kids Summer 2026 — Bluey and Bingo at Animal Kingdom, Goofy at Epcot, Jesse's Round-Up at Magic Kingdom and more

• Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue — and why your outfit could be the difference between getting called on stage or not (just ask Nathan)

Part 2 is coming next week with even more — the Muppets roller coaster launch, the VIP tour highlights, Epcot margaritas, the Disney's BoardWalk Inn Hotel and everything you need to know about the Disney dining deal.

You can't pour from an empty cup. And this week's guest is here to help you fill it back up — without overhauling your entire life to do it.

This week Cara and Bronagh are joined by Kylie Griffiths, former fashion stylist, creative director, accidental DJ and founder of Stress Sucks — a wellness brand built specifically for people with busy lives who don't have time for a 40 minute morning meditation but desperately need something to change. 

Kylie's journey from styling Little Mix and touring with bands to studying medical herbalism in Cornwall is one of the most brilliantly unexpected stories we've heard on the pod. But what really resonates is the conversation around how mums consistently put themselves last, mistake worrying for caring, and feel guilty the moment they do something just for themselves — and why that needs to stop. 

There's also a genuinely eye opening chat about the mental load, why your thoughts are just visitors and not who you are, and the one sentence that changed how Kylie thinks about motherhood entirely. 

Oh, and a PVC catsuit split at a house party. Obviously.

• Why looking after yourself makes you a better mum — and how to stop feeling guilty about it
• Small changes with big impact — practical tips for de-stressing when you have no time
• The mental load of motherhood — why we take on so much and how to start letting go
• Worry dumping, EFT tapping and breathwork — what they are and why they actually work
• Kylie's brilliant career — from styling bands to DJing at Reading Festival to founding Stress Sucks

It's finally time to spill the magic — Cara and Bronagh are heading back to Walt Disney World with the husbands, the kids and an absolute mountain of information you need to know about.

Cara has gone full-blown Money Mum, which would even make previous School Runway guest Money Mum Gemma Bird proud, covering everything from the best dining plan options and how much you could save, to packing essentials, hotel breakdowns and why you absolutely need to download the Disney app before you go.

Bronagh is emotional, Boycie is trying to eat the recording equipment, and between them they cover three hotels, the best new ride updates for 2026, Bluey at Animal Kingdom, the secret Polynesian bar, why Memory Maker is worth every penny and the one thing you must sort before flying to America.

Oh, and the outfits. Obviously the outfits.

• Walt Disney World dining plan breakdown — what's included, how much you save and how to book
• Three hotels, one trip — Animal Kingdom Lodge, the Polynesian and the Boardwalk reviewed, as well as Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto.
• New for 2026 — Rock n Roller Coaster starring the Muppets
• Essential Disney packing list — cooling towels, battery packs, rain macs, Crocs and why socks matter more than you think
• Flying into Tampa vs Orlando — and why you need to check your ESTA before you travel

This trip to Walt Disney World Resort was kindly gifted by Walt Disney World Resort. As always, all opinions are entirely our own.

We will be doing a full follow up episode when we're back, and we would absolutely love to hear from you!

We all think everyone else has got it together at events. Lauren Jacques has 150k followers and was hiding in a toilet cubicle at the Dyson Christmas party. You're not alone.

This week Cara and Bronagh are joined by content creator Lauren Jacques — the woman behind Styled by Mrs J, who went from 15 years in corporate to full time influencer and has absolutely no regrets.

Lauren opens up about the reality of going viral and why it's actually the worst thing that can happen to your page, why building a genuine community matters so much more than chasing follower numbers, and the mental load of working from 6 am to midnight whilst everyone assumes you're just taking nice pictures. 

There's also the most brilliantly honest conversation about social anxiety at events, why none of us are as confident as we look, and a wedding day story involving a three year old, a glass of orange juice and a silk dress that we will not be forgetting in a hurry.

• Why going viral is actually bad for your page — and what really builds a loyal audience
• The real hours behind full time content creation — and why the pressure never switches off
• Social anxiety at events — hiding in toilets, being blanked and why showing up anyway is always worth it
• Lauren's five beauty bag essentials — Estée Lauder Double Wear, hourglass concealer, the Zip device and more
• The Mulberry bag her husband saved up to buy her and the wedding dress story nobody saw coming

Bronagh approached a stranger at a PR event like a long lost friend. That stranger is now on the podcast. This is how we grow.

This week Cara and Bronagh are joined by content creator Olivia Power — the woman Bronagh famously greeted at a Marks and Spencer's event as if she'd known her for years, despite having never actually met. It turns out they have mutual friends, grew up minutes away from Cara, and are basically the same person. 

Olivia opens up about how a video of her husband collecting rubbish on a plane went viral overnight, accidentally launching her content career. 

• How Olivia went viral overnight and turned it into a full time career — the accidental content creator story
• The mental load of being a content creator — why the pressure to post never really switches off
• Turning up to events alone and why it's always worth it even when it's terrifying
• Olivia's five beauty bag essentials — fake tan, Nars concealer, rare beauty brow gel and more
• The one wardrobe item she'll never part with — and why a pair of black Zara trousers deserve their own award

Cara and Bronagh are back from their Easter holidays. Cara survived Portugal on a £25 Easyjet flight. This week the girls cover the Victoria Beckham x Gap collab that nobody saw coming, Cara's ongoing beef with the 'clean girls' who have allegedly ruined Adidas for everyone, and how to style denim shorts without reaching for the Boston clogs. 

There's also a deep dive into how both of them found their personal style over the years — from celebrity magazine mood boards, Y2K and WAG era inspo to dressing for real mum life.

We are back! This week, we’re navigating the chaos of the school run, surviving the Easter holiday growth spurts, and questioning the astronomical price of kids' footwear. We’re also opening up the listener mailbag to solve your spring hen do and wedding guest dilemmas.

• The School Shoe Scandal & The £90 Trainer Dilemma: We head to Bluewater to discuss why kids’ trainers now cost a staggering £90, and how to deal with an eight-year-old who thinks your fashion choices are "dead".
• Hen Do & Wedding SOS: We tackle listener requests for specific event styling. From a May vineyard tour (think chic waistcoats and smart flat sandals) to a Parisian hen do involving macaron baking and karaoke (hello, elegant city shorts!), we’ve got your spring social calendar covered.
• Summer Uniforms & Growing Pains: With the kids outgrowing their entire wardrobes just weeks before half-term, we discuss the struggle of the summer uniform haul. Plus, we ask the experts (you!): are growing pains actually a real thing, or just an excuse for a midnight snack?
• The Vinted Occasion Hack: We share our top tips for finding "worn once" designer wedding guest outfits on Vinted, including some brilliant recent finds from Boden and River Island.

Top of the morning! We are FINALLY here with the ultimate rundown of our Dublin trip for St Patrick’s Day. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to book that possible child-free getaway, consider this your official sign! 

We’re sharing all the secrets from our whirlwind 48-hour escape—from our stay at the luxe Leinster hotel to having a cosy drink in the snug of a traditional Irish bar while soaking up the atmosphere of live music and next level Irish banter. 

• The Dublin St Patrick’s Day Miracle: We recap a weekend of surprisingly blue skies and gorgeous scenery. We’re diving into our favourite local spots, from the perfect espresso martinis to the legendary black pudding scotch eggs at Buckley’s. If you aren’t booking a flight by the end of this, you aren't listening!
• The Gentle Parenting Debate: After encountering some gentle parenting firsthand on the flight home, we have to ask—does it actually work for you? 
• The Gatwick Karma Mystery: It wasn’t all shamrocks and sunshine! Poor Bronagh’s car took a nasty hit in the Gatwick short-stay car park. No note, no CCTV, and a very frustrating "scraper" to welcome her home. We’re talking car park etiquette and why we’re firmly believing in karma this week.
• Call the Midwife: The Emotional Send-off: We’re getting properly emotional over the season finale. (Warning: Spoilers!)
• The Easter Holiday Panic: With the schools breaking up for two weeks, the panic is setting in. We’re discussing our survival plans—from Stations of the Cross and Easter bonnets.

This week is basically a full holiday and beauty masterclass, and we didn't even leave the sofa.

It's a listener Q&A special on the School Runway, and the questions this week are genuinely brilliant. From what to pack for Barbados and how to dress for a pool party hen do in Benidorm, to finding the perfect khaki dress for a wedding in Greece and what to wear for an evening event in a countryside pub — Cara and Bronagh cover the lot. Along the way there's a very important public health announcement about wet swimwear, a deep dive into the best concealers for dark circles, and the spring summer trends actually worth committing to. We also somehow end up discussing Call the Midwife, Wuthering Heights and Jacob Elordi, because that's just what happens here.

• Holiday packing for Barbados — what to wear, swimwear recommendations and a very important health warning
• Hen do pool party outfit ideas for Benidorm — swimsuits, cover ups and keeping it fun
• Wedding guest outfit ideas for a destination wedding in Greece — khaki, Never Fully Dressed and floaty alternatives
• Best concealers for dark circles — from budget to splurge, and when to see a dermatologist first
• Spring summer 2026 fashion trends worth committing to — brooches, balloon pants, polka dots and block colour

We're recapping a big couple of weeks on the School Runway. Bronagh's birthday turned out to be one for the books with a night away in London, cocktails at what might be the best Negroni bar in Soho, and a Queens of Archive leopard print coat that is, officially, her whole personality now. 

Meanwhile Cara has gone fully down the Pokemon card rabbit hole, and we're looking back on the annual World Book Day chaos featuring a last-minute Captain Underpants costume, a bald cap and a lot of prayers. Boycie the Staffy puppy has also arrived and is already running the household. Dublin for St Patrick's Day is up next with spice bags, proper pubs and absolutely zero itinerary.

• Bronagh's birthday recap in London: Bankside Hotel, Bar Termini Soho and the Queens of Archive coat worth every penny
• Boycie the Staffy puppy: first week home, dog training tips and the yelp trick that actually works
• Pokemon card collecting: why it's worth checking your loft and how to get started with your kids
• World Book Day costume chaos: Captain Underpants on a budget (been and gone, but we feel your pain)
• Dublin for St Patrick's Day: spice bags, Irish pub etiquette and winging it

This week: Cara conquered a family pilgrimage to northern India (tigers included), and Bronagh conquered her first ski slope.

Cara and Bronagh are back with the kind of holiday debrief only they could deliver. Cara returned from a family pilgrimage to northern India — tigers, Taj Mahal, custom moonstone rings and all — while Bronagh survived (barely) her first ever family ski trip, complete with a chairlift meltdown and a very dignified crawl to the après-ski bar. 

They also tackle your listener questions on how to style a white vest top for day-to-evening drinks, what to wear to a three-day UK wedding, and the impossible art of wardrobe organisation (spoiler: neither of them has cracked it). 

Plus, a new puppy is incoming and leopard print accessories are involved.

• How to style a white vest top — outfit ideas for day-to-evening drinks
• What to wear to a 3-day UK wedding as a guest — suit, floral dress & coord ideas
• Wardrobe organisation tips for mums (what works, what really doesn't)
• Family skiing holiday with kids — honest first-timer review
• Northern India travel — Taj Mahal, Jaipur jewellery & wildlife safaris

If your FYP is full of millennial nostalgia content, you already know Helen — and if you don't, prepare to feel very, very seen.

Cara and Bronagh are joined by content creator and Deal or No Deal alumni Helen McPherson for an episode that went completely off-script in the best possible way.

Helen shares how a life-changing TV experience led her to ditch everything and start creating content — and within a year, go viral. 

From denim skirt belts and viscose tops to dream matte mousse three shades too dark, the girls take a gloriously unfiltered trip back to their nights out, their beauty bag disasters, and the very specific experience of being a millennial who still doesn't feel like a grown-up. 

Somehow they also cover Big Brother fight night, walk of shame outfits, and whether Helen should start a podcast (the answer is yes).

• Millennial nostalgia — nightclub laps, Christmas Eve hometown drinks & noughties night out fashion
• Deal or No Deal — Helen's experience filming and the unexpected aftermath
• 2000s beauty bag essentials vs what actually works now
• Raising kids today vs how we were raised — respect, boundaries & the open door policy
• Millennial age dysmorphia — why none of us feel as old as we are

This episode is all about reassurance and relatability. From food battles to wardrobe wobbles, it is a reminder that you are not doing it wrong, you are just doing a lot.

Along the way, the girls dive into:

• The packed lunch and dinner juggle, with realistic shortcuts that actually get eaten
• Spring Summer 2026 fashion trends, including bright block colours, leopard print and how to try them without overthinking
• Honest style advice for postpartum bodies and changing shapes, with confidence first
• Comfort TV chats and why Call the Midwife hits differently when you are tired

With a balance of practical fashion chat and a quiet arm around the shoulder, this episode leaves you feeling reassured, understood and very much not alone.

This week’s episode of The School Runway, Cara and Bronagh share practical tips for transitioning your wardrobe into spring — from layering thermals under summer dresses to pairing puffers with pastels. And if you’ve still got a bomber jacket from 2016, you might just be on-trend again. (But remember, as Bronagh says, don’t follow trends — follow what works best for you!)

The girls take a playful dive into fashion throwbacks, starting with 2016 and then rewinding even further to 2006 — think Paul’s Boutique bags, parka coats and oversized belts galore. Plus, is there a quiet panic that younger generations might hijack the millennial staples, especially with Molly-Mae’s new Adidas collab?

Cara also opens up about a recent moment closer to home, as she shares the joy of a surprise visit from her brother.

This week, Bronagh and Cara are wrapping up warm, rewiring their wardrobes and resetting for a calmer, more stylish 2026. It’s all about finding joy in the clothes you already own, making fashion feel easy again, and laughing through the chaos of school runs, cold snaps and coat cupboard meltdowns.

We cover:

• Why Bronagh sent her new Abercrombie tracksuit back… twice
• Top tips for school shoes, thermals and vintage finds
• The leopard print coat that's breaking the internet (and the bank)
• Jewellery you’ll never take off
• Red Gazelles, charity shop hats and the art of layering
• How to style your wardrobe when you're not styling your life
• And… an impassioned deep dive on Call the Midwife (with zero apologies)

It’s real talk, real clothes, and real chaos—as always. Put the kettle on, pull on a big coat, and come reset with us.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on The School Runway, we’re back for 2026 and hitting the ground in comfy trainers and fresh perspective.

Cara and Bronagh kick off the new year with reflections, resolutions, and a whole lot of real life. There’s talk of manifestation boards, morning washing routines, and whether Cara’s lip flip has made it physically impossible to sip a can of Diet Coke.

From fringe mishaps to fashion resets, they chat everything from what they got for Christmas to how they're tackling 2026 with a little more balance, a little less stress and maybe a trip to Dubai or Dublin if the universe says yes.

Expect plenty of laughs, mum hacks, and style confessions—plus a new goal for the year: actually sitting down for an hour of peace (and maybe even reading a book).

This week on The School Runway, it’s the final festive chat of the year – and Cara and Bronagh are wrapping it up in true mum-style. Think birthday party chaos, Christmas tree debates, mashed potato sandwiches and just a touch of Irish cream overstocking.

• The joy of spotting Christmas through your kids' eyes
• Partywear that works for pub trips and peeling sprouts
• Cosy styling tips for everything from church to couch

In this podcast episode of School Runway Cara and Bronagh address listener questions about fashion and style, offering advice tailored for mums. The hosts aim to provide practical tips and a few laughs while tackling style dilemmas related to Wimbledon attire, holiday wardrobes, and underwear choices.

Terry from Northampton seeks advice on what to wear to Wimbledon, torn between smart casual and a posh tea dress. The hosts emphasize that it's better to be overdressed than underdressed. They note that jeans and scruffy trainers are not allowed. Considering the heat, comfortable footwear is crucial, suggesting flats or leather sandals. While many attendees wear white, it's not mandatory. Inspiration can be drawn from celebrities like Sienna Miller and Angela Scanlon, who often opt for co-ords, jumpsuits, or lightweight dresses. Hats might obstruct other viewers, so it's important to check the rules.

A listener requests help creating a versatile summer wardrobe on a budget. The hosts recommend starting with basics like vest tops and denim shorts, which can be dressed up or down. A good swimsuit or bikini, a linen over-shirt, and a pair of flip-flops or flat sandals are essential. A nice summer dress and a co-ord set (shorts and shirt, skirt and shirt, or trousers and shirt) offer multiple outfit combinations. Accessories like jewelry and sunglasses are vital for diversifying outfits.

Sophie asks for advice on comfortable and discreet underwear options, as she finds her current collection outdated. One host jokingly suggests going without underwear, while the other recommends cotton underwear for hot days. Seamless thongs from Marks & Spencer or Primark are suggested to avoid visible panty lines (VPL). Brands like Skims and Beyond 9 are praised for comfort and quality, though they can be more expensive. Brazilian-shaped pants from Victoria's Secret are recommended for a flattering fit. The hosts also reminisce about past underwear trends, including chicken fillets for added cleavage.

The hosts diverge into various topics, including a discussion about the Irish sport of hurling, the definition of "pomp", and a favorite chicken shop in Tottenham. They also express annoyance with people who offer unsolicited advice about body image on podcasts. They emphasize the importance of wearing what makes you feel comfortable and confident, without needing external validation.

In conclusion, Cara and Bronermere provided practical and humorous advice on fashion and style questions from their listeners. They covered Wimbledon attire, summer wardrobe essentials, and underwear choices, offering specific product recommendations and personal anecdotes. The hosts stressed the importance of comfort, versatility, and personal style, encouraging listeners to embrace their individuality and ignore unsolicited opinions.
