Style Me Sunday - Babysitters club

So this week has seen more changes for our little family, especially my eldest as we welcomed a brand new cousin/nephew into the world, making me an Aunt for the first time as well as Mr A a potential babysitter in years to come. Mr A has also been heavily into "workmen" style play this week, helping out at my mothers house hammering nails and filling up gaps in floorboards and he favourite item of clothing is week has got to be his Dungarees which were actually handed down from a friend who picked them up from Next, we have paired them up with this new Clarks boots and T-shirt from Esprit. The nice people over at Promofix Gifts sent us some very cute badges and mugs which would make a perfect gift for anyone who is currently expecting either their own child or in our case a little nephew or cousin and Mr A was very proud to wear his Babysitter to Bee pin badge. Their Mummy to bee mugs are super cute and if your looking for something heart warming and uniq......

Street Style Sunday - The Dark Knot

So we are back with a Street Style Sunday after missing last week due to being under the weather and we thought we would jump back into things with some menswear fashion with a focus on that often over-looked accessory the Tie. The wonderful people over at The Dark Knot sent John one to review and first impressions were great as the packaging is stylish and oozes quality and would be the perfect gift for a special man in your life this Christmas. John has to wear a tie for work everyday and one of his first comments was how well made they are and are real step up from those you find on the high street and they offer starter kits and monthly tie club. He has paired it up with a shirt and jacket from Ralph Lauren and Edwin jeans. Personally I always think it's nice to see men mix it up and not only be casual on their days off but every now and then put on a shirt and tie for a smarter look. The Dark Knot also offers exquisite hand made silk ties, pocket squares an......

Street Style Sunday - Cosy Jumpers

Wow suddenly there is a real bite in the air this week as we come to the end of Autumn and say hello to winter. I thought I would take a moment to get cosy in this knitted Poncho I picked up two seasons ago from the Pure Collection. We have been a bit under the weather this week so have been keeping things fairly simple and low key and indulging in comfy fabrics such as wool and denim. This striped tee is from Next, jeans from Wallis and shoes from Esska. The great thing about this time of the year is being able to layer which has also made me realise I am really in need of a few new cosy jumpers and knits this season that add a bit of pop to my outfits while still keeping me warm under a jacket on our outdoor adventures. They really are a season essential which is also the perfect excuse to have an array of options in your wardrobe. 1. Fair Isle jumper from Boden £99 2. Mother sweatshirt £45 3. Fine knit DUH! jumper from H&M £14.99 4. Eau De Nil Cable jumper......

Street Style Sunday - Playsuit

I came across this simple but stylish playsuit by accident a few weeks ago, I don't know how I stumbled onto Romwe, an American site but either way I love it. Being a huge fan of black I thought Navy was adding a bit more colour and pairing up with my patent brogues from Clarks, a small satchel bag from New Look and Rose Quartz Crystal Necklace from the Happiness Boutique . I have found since having kids and getting little older that I look for clothes that need to be wearable for the whole day as well as practical for running around after the children or doing errands and I think this playsuit is perfect for that. I was recently sent this beautiful necklace and I have yet to take it off. I have always been interested in Crystals and their ability to help ground you, aid calm and be used for different alignments to improve your wellbeing. The Rose quart is naturally speaks to your heart Chakra and is a very loving and happy stone and can help build str......

Street Style Sunday - Organic Baby

So this winter is going to be Baby G's first real taste of biting cold weather as he was born right at the end of Feb and I only started taking him out and about Mid-March when it was already starting to get a little milder so this has meant shopping for something to see him through the winter months and keep him all nice and toasty I really do think children have the best choice of clothes, I mean I would love to be wrapped up in a soft super cosy winter fleece all in one especially one as beautiful as this eco-friendly organic Kite snowsuit from Little Chickie  which stock an array of cute baby and kids clothing (wish they made some of the stuff in adult sizes too) and this starry suit has got to be one of my favourite things Baby G has worn so far. The soft cotton jersey lining and detachable mitts make it perfect for winter and the small touches such as the little ears on the hood are just too cute and best of all is Baby G seemed to be very comfortable in it, smili......

Street Style Sunday - Mini style

We were recently asked if we would like to work with the stylish online kids store that is Melijoe.com an amazing online shop just for kids that stocks some fantastic clothes and captures the fun nature of children's fashion and I thought what would make a better Street Style Sunday than a mini-me version this week . From well known designer labels to more independent and quirky brands it's a great place to pick up something a little bit special. I love all the French labels they have and when I saw this IKKS yeap tee for Mr A I had to get it as it's so fun and perfect for an active boy. I  paired up the pop art tee with a Pepe skinny jeans, both of which are robust and well made and Mr A has been sure to put them to the test with lots of recent outdoor adventures in this outfit. Mr A wearing a IKKS tee As some of you may already know John is a sort of collector of all things Ralph Lauren and has been eyeing up the bear jumpers they do for himself so w......

Street Style Sunday - New Shoes

So I recently treated myself to this colourful floral printed trainers from Boden, they are just a bit of fun and add a pop of colour to my wardrobe. They are actually from the teenage section of Boden but  I thought why not, if you can't have fun with fashion then what can you have fun with, especially coming into the colder months it's nice to still keep a touch of summer in my outfits. I also managed to pick these up for a steal but using a VouchaCodes  which meant I got money off and free delivery, serious win if you ask me. I have paired them up with my Fred Perry Pinafore and a tee from Next for a simply and practical look as this past week has been a really busy one. So far this Autumn has been mild so I have been making the most of still being able to wear dungarees and dresses on a daily basis before it simply becomes too cold and the tights have to come out. The one great thing about seasons changing is that it's the perfect time to re-evaluat......
