It’s July 5th! Which means it is officially summer and it is also International Bikini Day – the day the bikini was invented! To celebrate I have teamed up with one of my favourite designer swimwear brands To Dive For to give you the chance to win a £50 voucher to spend at the To Dive For online boutique. All you need to do is visit my Instagram page and
There’s twinning and then there’s winning at twinning. I don’t know what it is but whether you have a girl or a boy, there is this urge, at times, to dress like each other. Sometimes I do this without even realising. I think it’s built into a mother’s subconscious…whatever, it’s cute. I can’t deny this genre of mama and me dressing can sometimes throw up a few fashion faux pas but there are
I’m sure I will add more beaches to this post but for now here are a couple of beautiful family beaches we’ve been hanging out on in North East Mallorca. I would recommend getting to both early at around 9am because this part of the island attracts a lot of crowds by midday. The beaches are much nicer at this time, it’s less hot for little ones and parking is much easier.
One of the things I have loved about blogging is that I’ve been introduced to many beautiful small brands. Carousel Jewels is one of those brands that I’m so happy to have discovered. I like good jewellery. I’m not really into big sparkly bling (although nothing wrong with that!) but I guess my style is more solid pieces, slightly imperfect that are made individual by their unique shape or adorned with
I had every intension of pairing this Olive Loves Alfie kimono with skinny jeans or lightweight trousers but actually, our kimono, on its own, turned out to be a perfect cool outfit for our visit to the arty town of Artà in north east Mallorca.The kimono is Olive Loves Alfie’s own brand (read more about OLA here) inspired by their trips to Japan. It is for girls and boys and block printed on 100%
It’s been a bit grey in England recently, in every respect and so here is my offering of colour therapy, in bikini form. Don’t get me wrong I love a muted piece of swimwear in rusty orange or muddy green but when your skin is a bit sun kissed and you are feeling the happy vibes on the beach then why not dress for the occasion. Here is my edit
On a recent trip to Valencia, I started wearing my kaftans differently. I was getting really fed up of all my pretty kaftans being reserved just for the beach and wanted to be able to wear them during the day.It’s nothing scientific but I just took a belt from another outfit and tied it around the waist making the kaftan more dress-like. Paired with summer sandals or slippers and a bag I
The lack of beach doesn’t stop us Londoners from donning our cossies. When it gets warm in the summer (it does eventually) we head to our local Lido for some good old fashioned outdoor swimming. Brockwell Lido is the nearest to us and is a grade II listed building – I personally love its 1930s fairly bland architecture and thought it would make a great backdrop to some of our bright retro
As you know I am a big fan of high street and designer brands but what I really love is finding small unique labels that not many people know about. Most of my finds come as a result of me trawling through Instagram or the Internet or if I’m lucky through someone recommending something to me. It all takes a lot of time and whilst I enjoy the thrill of
Is that the sun? Quick get your swimsuits out! Here’s my current pick of this summer’s cutest and coolest swimwear for our littles. These are independent brands from both the UK and abroad because it’s always summer somewhere in the world. I love the different beach styles that come from UK, Scandinavia, France and Australia, a mix of cool kids, minimalist and boho. Beach Boys… Gardner And The Gang; Olive Loves Alfie;
