This week on The School Runway, Cara and Bronagh are joined by the brilliant Alison Perry—mum of three, journalist, author, and host of Not Another Mummy Podcast. The trio take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about their magazine days when Alison worked at More, Sneak, and Look, while Bronagh was at Heat.

Alison shares how a wardrobe rut made her rethink her style and sparked a journey of rediscovering the joy of getting dressed. From dopamine dressing to the great sock debate, the girls discuss how what we wear impacts how we feel. Plus, they chat about the power of Vinted, the hunt for a perfect pink coat, and why gold and silver can go together (no more hiding handbags!).

Whether you’re here for the mum life chat, the style inspo, or just a laugh, grab a cuppa and join us for another fun episode!

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!
