Is it me, or is there something wrong with this picture?
This is a bikini. For young girls aged TWO to EIGHT. *sigh* I know this subject of age-inappropriate clothing has been done to death… but really? I’d probably have a pink fit if my 14 yr old daughter wanted to wear this to the beach. But put my 6 yr old in it? No, I don’t think so. This is NOT a young girls style, is it? Why on earth would a reputable and stylish childrenswear company think that this was something...

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.

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...
