This week is a special one—it’s officially been a whole year since we first hit record! Cara and Bronagh take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about how it all began (including the moment Bronagh finally convinced Cara to do the pod), the lessons learned, and the funniest moments from the past 12 months.

From deep debates about whether Converse ever really went out of fashion to a full investigation into the difference between plaid and tartan (we got there in the end!), this episode is packed with fashion chat, laughs, and a good dose of classic School Runway chaos.

The girls also catch up on this year’s biggest style comebacks, a reminder why leopard print is a neutral, and the must-have high street coat that everyone is trying to get their hands on. Plus, Cara shares some exciting travel plans, and Bronagh reflects on popular School Runway topic, dopamine dressing and how it's becoming a staple not just in her wardrobe, but overall wellbeing too.

A huge thank you to all our listeners for an incredible year—whether you’ve been with us from the start or just joined, we love having you here!
