There is a new t-shirt in town and its arrival into my letterbox couldn’t have been more timely. Bax and Bay have created the 100% organic cotton Mama Fox T-Shirt. Just when I was about to drown my 40 year old birthday sorrows into a cup of tea, the mama fox tee called out to me…”get your lippy on and go work it mama” and so I did. This is
My son is now almost three years old and I have seen him grow up so much during our stay in Mallorca. Each day a little part of the baby in him disappears and I get a glimpse of the boy he’s turning into. There are no more nappies because he uses the toilet, the pram is more or less redundant because he walks everywhere, he sits in a normal chair
One of my favourite places to hang out in South East Mallorca was the small empire of lifestyle shops and restaurants owned by Cassai group. The actual owner, Catalina Socias, is a mother, interior designer and entrepreneur. She took her passion for interiors and applied it firstly, to a fashion and interiors shop in Ses Salines, followed by a restaurant, a boutique hotel, another shop and most recently a beachfront
Last but not least of my holiday dress round-up is the Eva Dress from Mes Demoiselles. Some of you will have seen me wearing it quite a lot in my Instagram feed and although it’s no longer available in the UK it is available in Cassai here in Mallorca. Mes Demoiselles is one of my favourite brands for gorgeous, french bohemian style. The designs are floaty and feminine but with a contemporary cut
I love reading the story of Lala and Zizo because it reminds me so much of my own life growing up as an expat child. Going to school in a boiling hot country with palm trees in the playgrounds and lots of people speaking different languages. Once an expat, always an expat I think – you just can’t leave the idea of travel and different cultures alone. Whilst the founder of
If you have enjoyed my posts on Mallorca and are thinking about visiting the island with your family, then there are lots of family friendly places to stay, from self-catering apartments and villas to boutique and luxury hotels. Here are three stylish family stays I have found when looking for our own accommodation in Mallorca. I haven’t stayed at any of these and so can’t give you a first-hand
You can’t beat Topshop for affordable last minute holiday shopping. I saw this tassle kaftan and thought it would be a perfect cover-up during our trip to Greece…because everything is blue and white in Greece right? Tassles, embroidery and one of my favourite summer colour combinations. It also ticks some of my personal summer style boxes – not too short (no mum bum flashing!); long sleeves for when you want to cover-up;
I know the words toddler and boat don’t really sit well together but I like a challenge. One of the most popular activities in Colonia de Sant Jordi is to hire a brig boat and explore the beach coves dotted along the south east coast of Mallorca. We had no babysitting option so T-Rex was coming with. The Crew Whilst a Sunseeker would obviously be my first choice, our little brig
I generally live in jeans at home in London and so it’s been all about the dresses for me while I’ve been out in Mallorca. If you’ve been looking to try an off the shoulder top or dress, Zara have some good ones. This printed one is currently in the sale and has been such a good holiday dress. The shoulders don’t ‘ping off’, it’s a good length, the material is
I’m always so envious of the effortlessly chic ‘white dress wearers’ you see on holiday. It’s such a sophisticated look that I associate with walking barefoot down a jetty in St Barts or drinking in a colonial tea house in Sri Lanka. Finding the right white dress to suit you isn’t always easy and so it was nice to have the decision taken out of my hands when new brand, Dilli Grey sent
