*LOVE* these delicious Woodland Cosy Pyjamas from Powell Craft

As jane Austen might have said (if she knew they existed), it’s a truth universally acknowledged that every one needs a perfect pair of pyjamas. And Powell Craft? They make as near perfect as a person can get. We’ve been huge fans since wa-a-a-ay back when Snugg Nightwear sent us a beautiful Powell Craft Fairy nightie for the then-3-yr-old Bear in 2010. And all these years later? We’re still HUGE fans. Bear still...

Barefoot trail running with the Trail Freak II

  I am not really a runner. I mean, obviously like most healthy people I *can* run, but I’ve never got to the point where I yearn to be running, where it is the joy and head space in my day that so many friends seem to love. But – I also know I need to be fitter. And I get so BORED on the cross trainer that I have to use Netflix to occupy myself so I don’t just jump off. And then I get slower and slower as I get...

Old School Red Leather Satchel? Oh my yes, Yoshi! | Review

I don’t know what it is, but I know I’m not alone in my love of the traditional leather satchel. I mean – how could you not, really? Practical, stylish, versatile… It’s everything you need. And so darn cute, too! And as we head into Autumn and the cooler months, I always seem to put away the cute little fabric bags and backpacks I’ve been using all summer, and reach for something sturdier and...

Spotted! Seriously *love* this Boreal Fisherman slouchy knitted beanie hat

I have decided. I need a new hat. And I want a slouchy knitted beanie hat. It’s always around now that I start rummaging in the hat box for the woolly ones. It’s not quite cold enough for a winter coat yet, but unless I’m running with the dog the cool late afternoon breeze can be a little chilly for just a jumper or a fleece. i find a nice woolly hat does the job perfectly, keeping my ears warm without roasting me....

Spotted! The Most Brilliant Faye Et Fille Giraffe Print Scarf

I was amazed when I saw this fabulous Faye et Fille Giraffe Print Scarf in full. Because when  it’s worn, it looks amazingly abstract and autumnal. A hint of giraffe, a hint of bare winter tree – perfect, in fact. Isn’t it gorgeous? Enough colour to brighten up the dullest of November days, and those African tones giving a hint of the warmth and sunshine hidden away if you could only see them. But look –...

Probably the best girls skate shoes ever – Naturino Sneakers #NotJustForBoys

Have a picky girl dresser? Yes, me too. Particularly, it seems, when it comes to footwear. And this winter my girl took against trainers – she wanted the best girls skate shoes, pleasethankyou. When we started working with the amazingly lovely people at Naturino they asked if we’d like to review. In fact, they insisted – “no, really, you must. Our shoes are different. We promise.” Now my daughter Bear is...
