Rex has had a few new purchases recently which I thought I’d share with you. Three years old is a funny age to buy for, they still feel like your baby but when shopping, the clothes are very boyish. I still go into Zara’s baby boy section to see if there is anything I can squeeze him into but alas, those days are gone. Having said that I’ve been enjoying this
For those of you who have been following my blog from the beginning, you’ll know I’ve been lucky enough to work with Coco Bay Swimwear for a while now. It’s meant that many of my trips abroad have been illustrated with some amazing beachwear and bikinis from their collections. Last December they launched a new range of activewear and as activewear is the uniform of Bondi locals, I was more than happy
If there was one look I had to choose this month, it would would incorporate gingham and ruffles. I saw this skirt in Asos and loved it. I paired it down with a t-shirt from Chaser which I got in the sale from a cool little shop in Sydney called For Artists Only. Chaser tees are great if you like to wear words and they do the cutest kid’s versions too. If
It used to be really hard to find beachwear out of season, I remember having to either wait until I got to the destination or else make do with a very limited selection (like two designs) from the high street. Now most designer and high street stores have their own online holiday shops which we can access whatever the weather. It’s always sunny in some part of the world meaning that beachwear is no
“Brought to life for the girl who lives for the sun, barefoot, dancing in the sand, diving in the blue sea, bathing under coconut trees, the Chiquini girl is the embodiment of the modern bohemian woman”- Chiquini Tropical Wear Just before leaving for our recent trip to the Maldives, a little tropical gift in the form of the handmade ‘Carla’ crochet bikini from Chiquini Tropicalwear landed in my letterbox.I had been
Since starting blogging I have discovered so many gorgeous new summer inspired brands from all over the world but there is one place that really knows how to design cool summers and that is Greece. Over the years I have picked up many souvenirs from Greece, in the form of independently designed jewellery, leather sandals, bags, tops and they have all served me well as being unique wardrobe items that no one else has. This
At last a fashion brand brave enough to focus on boys only. Laundry Tribe is the answer to all stylish mums of boys prayers. Admittedly, the high street is getting a little better but it is still so disappointing to have to wade through a shop floor bursting with pink and glitter only to find ‘the boys section’ shoved in the corner offering a handful of bland tshirts and trousers.
I have found the best gift for you to buy and it’s currently so new that you will win extra brownie points for present buying innovation (dads take note)… but be quick.It’s by a new brand called Honey & Toast. Founded by Emma White, an accessories designer for 15 years to fashion houses including those of Paul Smith, Alice Temperley and Mary Katrantzou. After having children she decided to create
I really love finding brands that have been born through travelling. There have been so many times that I have seen beautiful clothes and products abroad and thought how good it would be to make them available in the UK. Willa and The Bear is a brand after my own heart, producing cosy Nepalese muslin pyjamas and chic nursery accessories. The idea for a collection of stylish but traditional children’s bedtime clothes and nursery accessories
I hope you have been enjoying my pictures of Sri Lanka so far. I have been jotting down all my finds in my gorgeous little pom pom travel notebook from Izzi Rainey and will be sharing them in a guide later. I couldn’t be in a more fitting environment than Sri Lanka to sit down and ‘pen my thoughts’ whilst sipping a cup of local tea. While Ross has played daddy daycare, I
