Book babe

Glorious day reading on the beach and Mini is getting some reading in. Just finished up the fantastic 'must read' of the year - Caitlin Moran's how to be a woman. Read it NOW! Is all I can say. Utterly hilarious make your eyes weep and it will become prerequisite reading for mini even before she understands what a strident feminist is.
Now we're onto the glass castle by Jeannette Walls. A novel heartly recommended by the super special Diane and I can gladly report I'm hooked. As is mini as you can see. Voraciously reading whilst sporting her divine Paisley romper from Christine Rohde a gift from her Opi and one of our favourite pieces. Mini does look a little cerise in these pics but please don't be alarmed fashion filers. She's head to toe in factor 50 plus sunhat. It's the light and the camera. Promise!

Romper Love

I love a romper. It's easy dressing, especially on a hot and sticky day. They are no longer just plain old cotton jersey with poppers along the seams, mini has a whole host from ruffle edged to bedecked with fairy wings. They're a sort of playsuit slash 1950's swimsuit combo, the perfect antidote to tripping up on dress hems, especially when walking is still a novelty. Today's is from Danish designer Christina Rohde and is in the sweetest paisley edged in stone lace. We've added a pink Bonpoint cardi, peach bow and beige Mary-janes. But the main reason I really love a romper is that I get easy squidge access to those infamous thighs.

Little China Girl

> The sun has got his hat on hip hip hip hooray! The min has got her hat on and she's coming out to play.
> Well sort of, the sun has been a bit ambivalent this holiday and is being a tad temperamental but for the moment its beaming. She's keeping shaded with her multicoloured straw pagoda hat another great find from Couverture and The Garbstore for her last day on our favourite island. She's wearing it with her brand new Paisley print romper. It's a gift from her Opi and comes from the Danish designer Christina Rhode at Hop Like A Bunny. Its trimmed in beige lace and buttons down the back like a grandad all-in-one!
