With summer in full swing I do love a bit of nautical fashion, even more so since moving so near to the coast. At the moment the hope of owning our own boat is a distant dream but something we are aiming to achieve in the future. With this in mind, it is important to look the part, no? I already own far too many Breton tops, six at the last count, but what about the smalls? Here are my favourite nautical picks for The Boy this year. Little Marcel, striped jersey top with hood, £31.00 I love this beautiful striped jersey top, perfect for the cooler summer ...
Three Little Words
Just three little words. Not one of them longer than four letters. Bite-sized words if you will. Three little words that can immediately issue a rush of adrenalin, install joy and passion in so many ladies. Three little words that can symbiotically install utter dread in the soul of many men. LOOK.........A SALE! *Watches Mr B disappear hastily claiming a heart-attack/loo emergency/wow look dinosaur moment. Delete at will.* But I love a good sale and it just so happens that there is currently an AWESOME summer sale over at Melijoe.com. Sadly, nothing for the adult ...
Beach Baby Beautiful
With just two weeks until our summer vacation I have begun holiday shopping in earnest. Yesterday was spent frantically dashing around a mall in Bristol, wrestling in and out of various outfits whilst simultaneously trying to prevent The Boy from exposing my half-naked self to fellow shoppers, or Little Miss from pronouncing loudly that every item was hers, "MINE", grabbing armfuls of what were once pristinely folded t-shirts and making off with them. It was a stressful day. I have since realised the utter madness, and futility, of clothes shopping with kids and have decided to ...
Children’s Holiday Fashion with Melijoe
We are now in full blown holiday countdown. With just four weeks to go until our two week vacation in Halkidiki excitement levels are increasing daily. For Mr B and I this is also extra special as it may well be the last holiday we stay somewhere quite as nice as our hotel this year. With The Boy starting school in September we are soon to become victims to the ridiculous hike in flight and holiday prices during the limited school holiday season so, this summer, we are going to grab a little bit of luxury while we still can. We have stayed at this hotel twice in the past and one aspect I do ...
Spring Fashion For Boys
So, following on from last month's post which was all about the girls, as promised this month we will be taking a look at some Spring/Summer fashion for the boys. This is a market which many designers are now beginning to realise the true potential value of. 2013 saw Burberry's sales increase significantly following the first foray into modelling by a young Romeo Beckham, and with his elder brother Brooklyn rarely out of the spotlight boys' fashion is grabbing more of the markets attention. As with the mini-female-fashionistas, trends for this year's spring summer ...
Can You Be Too Young for Fashion? The Rise of the Mini Fashionistas.
I must confess to being pretty lazy when it comes to fashion and my children. I was part of the 'practical over pretty' brigade of Mums, keeping my children in easy-to-access-nappy baby-grows until they were two. (I exaggerate...a little.) Particularly as Little Miss is getting bigger I am becoming more and more aware of the rise of the celebrity mini-fashionistas which leads me to question, can you ever be too young for fashion? This is something perhaps the Kardashian-Wests are now asking themselves after baby North had a spectacular tantrum whilst attending Kanye's ...
Review: Little Casa Clothing for Children
At just three weeks old Little Miss E has been lucky enough to receive a vast amount of beautiful children's clothing from friends and family and already has a wardrobe larger than her Mother's. She was also sent this beautiful baby Peter Rabbit Dungaree and T-shirt set from Little Casa. Made from 100% cotton it is so cute and simple and would make a perfect gift for any new baby boy or girl and retailing at £29 it is reasonably priced. I know some Mums may be put off by the white material but never fear, this outfit even survived an exploding nappy incident and came up ...
