Wendy house

Mini loves nothing better than playing in her cousin's Gigi and josie's Wendy house. It's perfection. Pink and complete with flowers in the window box. Today mini wore her stella for gap crochet bow dress with coordinating poloneck and crochet leggings topped off with her j crew pearls.  Perfect transeasonal dressing. 

Back to school

There's something quietly satisfying about putting away your summer clothes and getting out all the warm and wintery pieces, especially when they're new. In Minis case that's almost everything after her giant growth spurt this summer.
Today mini is showcasing her new tartan check wool dress from Bonpoint. It's in this seasons muted spice tones and we've popped last year's Tabasco poloneck underneath, a pair of frilly White socks and Phins hand-me-down linen and leather brogues from Marie-Chantal.
Meanwhile it's back to school for Phin and he's taken to the green class like a duck to water. You'd never know he's spent the Last four weeks lounging in ibiza. Today he's sporting his skinny stella jeans, a stripe heart print T from Bonton and his ubiquitous Gap star trainers. The best sale buy at £7 ever! If he could sleep in them he would.

Barefoot and fancy free

It may be pouring outside but mini is still footloose and fancy free. Flinging off her socks and running round barefoot ibiza style, mini and Phin are both still struggling to wear clothes again after a summer of little or no attire.
We started off the new season with some golden oldies today but in bigger sizes. Gap skinny jeans worn with our favourite Bonpoint floral print, this time round mini has the blouse instead of the dress she wore last winter. That's what's so lovely about sale shopping for kids - you can stock up on all your faves without worrying it's too last season!

Minis riding on her pony

Minis riding on her pony. Well Phins pony actually, Lulu McPherson the black shetland pony to be precise. She adores her, profusely poking her in the nose and she took to her first ride with ease and confidence. Riding in her red skinny Gap jeans, Bonpoint floral blouse and slate blue cardigan by Grandma Eve.
Phin did brilliantly too with a straight back and an elegant poise he trotted round the field with glee.

Golden curls

Who'd a thought the little Eskimo baby with the black hair and slate eyes would morph into this golden curled blue eyed cherub? Her hair is growing in gorgeous ringlets at a pace her brother is yet to achieve and it's a golden corn with a hint of strawberry like her mama that no colourist could achieve.
Today mini was flexing a dolce star print vibe. It's the hot print for winter and mini's silver star leggings and grey jersey drummer boy jacket comes courtesy of the Gap with her pony T-shirt from Dandy Star.
She's been mighty busy today picking raspberries and tomorrow it's time for her first ride on Lulu McPherson. That's if lulu has forgiven her for constantly poking her in the nose.

Passionate pear

Mini has discovered tray upon tray of pears at grandma and papow's house. Freshly picked from the trees she simply saunters into the garage where they lie and picks one up and shoves it straight, core,stem and all, in her mouth. Today for her tractor ride she wore her auntie peggys Bonpoint liberty print dress with it's matching bloomers and a teal handknit cardi from grandma topped off with her new leopard slippers which despite the print clash seem to go with everything!

Driving miss mini

Phin and mini have headed down to Papow and grandmas house for the weekend while we whizz off to a wedding. It's been an exciting stay so far with an excursion to see in the night garden live with iggle Piggle and upsy daisy. And then having some fun driving papas Porsche and hooping the horn as much as possible.
Yesterday mini got back into london style with her tapered khakis from Bonpoint and her Bonton polka T and new grey crochet waistcoat from The Little White Company and her new leopard slippers. Her feet have grown so much over the summer I see new shoes on the horizon.
