Red Leather Mary Janes. Girl Shoe Heaven
Recently we were asked to review some school shoes for Start Rite. No problemo – with four children, keeping up with school shoes is a perennial issue. No the problem came when I forgot it was the daughter who needed new shoes. The daughter who apparently has an inbuilt genetic attraction for shoe shopping. Seriously – it took us AGES to get to the practical black ones, because we just happened across these little flashes...
Review: The LittleLife Doodle Daysack
We love love LOVE LittleLife. Waaaay back before we had No.1 son, we were big hikers – and a constant source of frustration for us after he was born was the lack of a really good child carrier. What we wanted was a proper rucksack – but with a seat for the boy thrown in. Imagine our thrilled delight when Boy came along a couple of years later and we came across a LittleLife backpack through the awesome power of our shiny...
Pretty Summer Tops for girls – and in the sale too!
Well. The girl wasn’t much help there, but trust me, both tops are lovely. Pure cotton (the white one is toile, and the raspberry pink one is crepe). Both cool enough for the hottest of days, and brilliant cover-ups when the sun gets high. Both are in the Summer Sale too – the Pink Blouse is reduced to just £10 currently, and the White Toile Blouse is down to just £10.20. You might want to stop by the main Girls...
Denim Shorts for Girls – Pretty, and Bargainous too.
You might have noticed – I really LOVE Vertbaudet clothes for children. They’re well made, well-fitted (waists are all elasticated or adjustable, for example) and totally practical – as well as looking really good. They wear well, wash well, and above all of that they’re brilliant value for money. What’s not to love about them? This summer the girl has been pretty much living in a few mix-and-match...
Simply fabulous kids clothes for the Great Outdoor Adventures
One thing you learn really fast is that when you’re hiking, comfort is where it’s at. Seriously. You do NOT want to be walking for miles in trousers that rub, a top that rides up or a waterproof that cuts of circulation at the wrists. Even the children know this, and they don’t need reminding what to select when told ‘we’ll be walking today’. So what do they choose? Well – our recent trip to...
Gorgeous Retro Spotted Swimsuits for girls just £4.50!
I don’t really think I have much to say about this costume, except that I LOVE it. I am stupidly super-fussy about my daughter’s swimming costumes. I know I am. For me, bikinis are a no. A v-shaped neckline which suggest cleavage? That’s out too. The same rules as lunchboxes apply in terms of no annoying cartoon characters. So my choices are quite narrow; and the need seem to crop up regularly as the girl grows so...
