Autumn Clothing for Babies and Children

| September 4, 2013

I love viewing the next season’s range of clothing. There’s something exciting about a change in temperature and the clothes that go with it.

This year with the amazing Summer we’re having (long may it last) I have to smile with all the Winter hats, gloves, wellies and woolly jumpers lining the shelves of clothing stores. I even found myself looking at Winter coats for Imogen yesterday, whilst she looked at me with a questioning glance wearing her Summer dress and sandals.

Here are some inspiring clothing offers for the whole family this Autumn:

London in Autumn

| November 6, 2012

London is stunning in autumn with the leaves changing colour and a brilliant blue sky.

Imogen has enjoyed finding conkers, splashing in puddles and collecting different coloured leaves. Squirrel spotting is also an essential part of our daily walk in the park.

I’ve found the cooler weather has called for heartier foods and this week we’ve been enjoying Leek and Potato Soup and Pastry Free Vegetable Quiche.

Christmas Shopping Already?

| October 29, 2012

shoesWe hit the shops this weekend to see Christmas trees dressed in lights and to browse all the pretty Christmas decorations that have started to adorn the shops.

I took the opportunity to step out in my favourite pumps by Gabor. It made a nice change after wearing boots almost daily since the start of autumn.

Living in London I expect the shops to have a constant stream of foot traffic but I was shocked by the number of Christmas shoppers. Rolls of Christmas wrapping paper were being snapped off the shelves.

I overheard conversations about the Christmas gifts people have already bought for their loved ones. I can’t stop thinking that it’s still October and there’s 8 weeks and 1 day until Christmas!

Some of the pretty Christmas Decorations we found at John Lewis.

Imogen needed a new pair of shoes and we found a beautiful pair of classically simple dark red leather shoes at Startrite.
