Ok, sorry I might have oversold you on that title – I think I’m having a midlife crisis early and am under the grand illusion that I am a rock chick. Clearly I am not. I was asked to be a godparent this weekend and so I decided to wear (shock horror) JEANS to the ceremony. Actually it was a naming ceremony so it wasn’t in a church and therefore slightly more
I decided that we had probably reached the limits of T-Rex’s age 6-9 month sleepsuits (he is almost 2) and it was time to invest in some new sleepwear. The reason I have been holding off is because most of his sleepsuits are zip- ups which I bought last year from Bonds in Australia. Popper sleepsuits should be banned – they are the most difficult things to try and do up when you
Much to my surprise, the shopping in Mallorca was really good. Santanyi is a particularly nice place to shop with boutiques dotted around pretty cobbled streets. Every Wednesday and Saturday there is a market which has some gorgeous leather bags (it’s where mine is from below) and a generally happy buzz in the air – it’s a really nice thing to do if you get the chance. Impossible not to be
How gorgeous is this sunshine? If you are on the hunt for a cool pair of sunglasses for your mini, then check out Sons + Daughters at new online kids boutique – The Mini Edit. They sell some really cute 100% UV protection sunglasses. We stepped into The Mini Edit’s pop up shop in Knightsbridge yesterday to have a look. Typically T-Rex wasn’t playing ball when it came to trying them on
This mixed weather has me feeling all…masculine(!?) So I bought this blue with red polka dot shirt from Zara, ripped skinny jeans and open toe lace up ballerinas (I refuse to believe summer is completely over). T-Rex was feeling androgynous too and so wears my absolute bargain apple green sunglasses bought in the Zara sale. As someone who used to spend a fortune on jeans I love Zara’s. They are one
There is nothing nicer than receiving a holiday gift, so you can imagine how excited I was when this pretty pair of Havaianas accompanied by some mini reds for T-Rex fell through my letter box. You Had Me at Sea Green and Sparkly I must admit I was dubious about the baby Havaianas. They look way too cute to actually work and support the foot of a wobbly toddler…but they do.
A quick little post on what T-Rex is currently running around the beaches in. His swimwear wardrobe rivals mine but I think my favourite outfit has to be this shark sunsuit and hat. It was one of those last minute impulse buys that you do in a panic the day before you go away (well I do anyway) “Ooh T-Rex has five swimsuits but he may just need another”. Sharky
When I decided to include fashion in my blog, I forgot that I might have to do a bit of ‘modelling’. The fact that I have also chosen one of the most revealing genres of fashion also cracks me up no end – I should have done this when I was twenty one…not nearing forty and post pregnancy. Then again, like I’ve said before, we should be proud of our bodies
Finally I write about Bikinis! And I managed to do it before the end of the summer – hurrah! After looking at my pale and pasty winter body I was tempted to just don a Bhurkini and be done with it. Then I thought, NO! You are a hot gorgeous mummy who is going to look glorious in all her motherhood on the beach. So rather than thinking your old
I’ve had quite a few nice days off recently. Since T-Rex started two days (yes two whole days!) at nursery, I have a new found freedom which I had forgotten about. I think I’ve got a bit of Abbie back! Last week I met a friend for lunch in Bermondsey Street, one of my favourites for London food. We went to Jose’s tapas and sherry bar which, I might add, is
