| Mini at 9 months has reached that stage of trying to get around by any means possible. Mix in a bum shuffle, a side roll into crouched crawl and downward dog and Mini has all the makings of a crack commando. Her determination to reach everything in sight that you don't want her to touch is uncanny. Today this mini militia crack team is wearing a very beautiful floral print dress and shearling gilet from Bonpoint, well who says she can't look good whilst doing all these moves. |

| Back on party dress form today with her cranberry tulle confection from Angel's face worn with a cashmere ribbed poloneck from caramel, Mini wowed Xander's party with her panache and stylish ensemble. Well, ok she made the parents of a bunch of five year old boys weep with envy, the boys were far more interested in the mad scientist vibe going on (aka twenty somethings in lab coats blowing things up and making potions - what happened to smarty arty and patchy peter?) |

| Phin was in his element, he got a double lightsaber as his going home gift. Cool or what! |
 |
| So Mini is tagging along with big bro Phin later today for a Rio carnival party. Yes there will be Samba and mask making but naked women shaking their tail feathers have been banned. On that note we decided Mini should er on the side of prim and not steal her brothers Gruffalo costumed thunder. So although she has party dresses galore she is staying dressed in her angelic tweed and lace combo from Zara accented with a flash of red from Bonpoint. |
 |
| The Gruffalo is on the prowl and ready to Samba |
 |
| Mini is flexing her own Black Swan today with her new ballet shoes from Baby Bloch. These gorgeous burnished gold ballerinas were a gift from Red's Fashion Director Nicola, so its no wonder they are the height of style. Finally Mini fits them, so expect many more outings on her blog. Today we've paired them with a stone linen pinafore dress and claret ribbed cashmere poloneck both from Caramel worn with her bark coloured tights from Zara and a burgundy bow from Marie-Chantal. |
 |
| Boy this tastes good! cant stop chewing... |
 |
| Also check out the new collection from Caramel on www.caramel-shop.co.uk and to see Phin doing a spot of modelling! |

| i love this brightly coloured liberty print blouse from Bonton, its such a fantastic mix of bright emerald, pinks and fuschia and puts a real spring in your step. I've paired it with another of Mini's fantastic home knits by her grandma Eve. They are all from the Debbie Bliss collection, whose patterns are thouroughly modern. She also has quite a few blankets in the same zig-zag edged pattern, this aqua teal tone is spot on as its feminine but not overly girlie. Today she's wearing it with her denims and her suede moccasin booties both from The gap and lovely peach gross grain bow from ilovegorgeous. |

| Something rather lovely arrived in the post this morning and of course we had to put it straight on. Mini's maternity nurse Penny who is a creative tour de force whether it be stitching liberty lavender bags, quilting gorgeous clothes hangers, embroidering wallhangings and knitting the most beautiful cardigans and sweaters. This is a new lilac version of a cream one Mini already has and its sublime. The colour is a true lilac and we love the frilled edges and the little buttons are a perfect fit. We've paired it with her mushroom quilted cords from The Gap, grey poloneck from Bonpoint and lavender tights from makie. Meanwhile Mini thoroughly enjoyed her brioche at inga's today |
