There are some dresses that are made to wear in certain places and when I saw the Coco maxi dress by Seraphina, I knew it would be the perfect accessory to colonial villas and palm clad gardens in Sri Lanka. Seraphina is a beach and lounge wear label founded by Fiona Hodges whose upbringing on a tea plantation in Darjeeling, inspired her to explore block print methods by local artisans. After working
A colourful case for a colourful place! A few essentials (and non essentials) I’m taking with us on our trip to Australia, via Sri Lanka and the Maldives. This time we’ll be away for approximately five months and so the packing list for both myself and my son has been hard to whittle down but here is a sneak peak of what I’ll be taking. The Essentials: Mosquito repellents – We are travelling
There are a few key things needed for your mini’s winter wardrobe and a cosy bobble hat is most definitely one of them, not least for the cute factor. Whether you’re staying in England, taking a winter city break or heading for the snow, now is a good time to start thinking about things like woolly hats, thermal gloves, thick winter coats and wellies. If you don’t prepare, you know that very soon ‘the coldest
We all have our pile of black and white H&M t-shirts that we know we can just throw on and not really care about but having a couple of really nice quality t-shirts that look smart casual is such a good investment. I spend a lot of time in jeans and so having a soft, good-fitting t-shirt makes it all feel a bit more dressed up without being dressy. I’m not talking
In true British style, just as we get into wearing our bright and cheery summer gear the weather turns and before we know it the shops are flooded with black…grrr. Fear not. Metallic is one of my favorite shades and a cool little outfit cheerer-upper (!?) there is lots of it around at the moment – here’s my pick of the best. As many of you saw in my Instagram, I
If you’re heading to London as a family, you really should put Greenwich on your list of places to visit. It ticks all the boxes for an easy family day out, largely helped by the enormous park space which you can retreat to should toddler/child boredom kick in. Greenwich is one of those places where parents can enjoy a portion of good times too – it is right on the
I wrote a post last year on Havaianas baby flip flops because they were surprisingly good on a newly walking toddler. I’m writing another quick post this year to say I stand by my theory that flip flops on children work. This summer we bought (at the Gatwick Havaianas shop) the Havaianas Baby Brasil and once again T-Rex wore nothing else. They are cool in the heat, comfortable (I presume
(This giveaway is now closed) Hi everyone. There is a ‘Cool Kids Summer Giveaway’ over on my Instagram account now with the chance for one person to win one of everything in the picture above. I have teamed up with fellow blogger N4Mummy and some top kid’s brands, to bring you an amazing summer inspired prize. It’s easy to enter so I hope you’ll be able to have a go. My
My friend and designer, Lea Lloyd recently turned her screen printing skills to create personalised kid’s t-shirts. She sells them online in her shop called Pop Pop. Lea asked me what I’d like on a t-shirt for T-Rex and so goes the theme of this post. One of the things T-Rex has been renowned for since birth is his big hair. Even when I cut it, it’s mega. Hats sit on his hair, not his
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
