  • Holidays, Dark Circles & the Fashion Trends Worth Trying This Spring
    Mar 23 2026

    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

  • Puppies, Pokémon & the World Book Day Panic
    Mar 16 2026

    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

  • Tigers, Ski Runs & a Beer at the Top of a Mountain
    Mar 9 2026

    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

  • Why We're All Just Pretending to Be Grown-Ups (with Helen McPherson)
    Mar 2 2026

    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

  • Making Spring/Summer 2026 Fashion Trends Work for You
    Feb 23 2026

    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.

  • Lighter Looks & Cosy Tricks: Navigating the Winter-to-Spring Switch
    Feb 2 2026

    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.


    Also, check out the brilliant Helen McPherson mentioned in this episode

    This week on The School Runway, Cara’s daughter is sneaking makeup into her school bag, Bronagh’s navigating life with an Invisalign lisp, and there’s a full rundown of Dolly's birthday party chaos—including a mid-laser tag Disney cruise news.


    The girls chat 2026 travel plans, including their dream of a no-frills Dublin pub tour, just jeans, creamy pints, and soaking up the atmosphere. Plus, makeup rules for seven-year-olds, how long to wait before piercing your child’s ears, and their take on the new Love Island line-up.
