Marvellous Mums: Eimear Varian Barry
Eimear Varian Barry is one of the best dressed super mums out there these days, remaining effortlessly stylish, honest and uber charismatic for her thousands of followers across social media. A real mum of two who's down to earth persona has made her a hit among the masses, Eimaer took time out of working, moving house and bringing up her gorgeous brood to answer some questions for us!
It literally happened super organically. I set up an Instagram one night when I was pregnant with Saoirse, in the dark, in bed...and just started posting photos from then on. People started to like my content, and three years later, it's my job! I have always been so intrigued with social media and have worked with it a lot in previous jobs, but never could I have imagined I would be doing it for myself, as myself and for a living!
It really depends! If I am with the kids (which is 90% of the time!) we get up, I put on ITV news, I make porridge for us, maybe do some crafts/painting. I do housework.
We may head down to the local town to run errands (and go to a cafe for a coffee and cake!). Then we come home, Saoirse may have a nap, and if she does, I get to work and address my emails. Then it's time to get the dinner on, bath, bed (takes me AGES to get them both to sleep) and start working until around 12. Harper wakes at 5am, so as you can imagine, I am absolutely shattered at the moment! If I am shooting or have an event on, I get the fast train up to London, try pack in as many looks as possible and get back for bedtime!
It's really changing (dramatically) at the moment. I was so gone off floral for ages, but now I have a new floral dress which I can't stop wearing!
I would say minimal, meets boho?! It's literally all over the place. It's just what I love really at that time!
As I mentioned- I am ridiculously tired. But I just want to keep creative and keep doing what I love so much! I try to do as much as I can, but Sunday is our zero work day.
I love H&M for their home bits. Also Bloomingville. For fashion? Folkster.com , Asos, Net a Porter, Zara, Topshop...all the usuals!
I am obsessed with Cam Cam Copenhagen and when I saw the raindrop mobile and hot air balloon lampshade, I HAD to have them! They go so perfectly with Saoirse's new room! 
I think it's really important to just do what YOU want and what feels right for YOU, your kids and your family. There are so many books and websites telling us what to do, I can't handle it! I think it's really important too to respect another Mums choice, even if it's something so far away from something you would do yourself.
