Summer Ready with Serengeti

After having a little preview to summer over the past few weeks with a couple of warm and sunny days it certainly means the summer clothes, shorts and dresses are coming out and I am really looking forward to a hot summer (fingers crossed). What I love about summer is simplifying things, not having to wear layers and accessorising any outfit with some sandals, summer hats and stylish sunglasses - put all of those things together and you have the holiday summer look down wether your travelling abroad or staying closer to home. I recently picked up this upcycled Ralph Lauren shirt which has been turned into a dress from Topshop reclaim collection which gives life back to vintage clothes in a fun and modern way, it's also a really ethical choice and I love that most of the collection pieces are one-offs. I have paired it up with my Docs and these stylish black Serengeti Sunglasses . I was offered these sunglasses from Discounted Sunglasses which offers a range of designe......

Exploring France with Kids - Guest post

France, famous for their wine, their cheese, and their spirit, is one of the richest European countries. Laden with nature, history, and beautiful architecture, France is a must see for families. Even the little ones will enjoy a trip to France, which offers many sights suitable for family trips. Some of the best French regions to visit with families include; Paris, Normandy, Dordogne, and Montpellier. Each with their own charms, these regions will ensure you create wonderful memories, and here are some of my favourite things to do in each region. Paris Disneyland Paris: This is quite the obvious one but if you’re a fan of Disney yourself and you can afford it, Disneyland is definitely worth the trip! Although I would say it’s best for children over eight, as they will actually remember the trip in years to come, and you will avoid some of the rides aimed at really young kids which take forever in the queue. Tip: Pack sandwiches for lunch Les Jardins du Luxembo......

Awesome Gift Ideas for Fathers Day

I always feel that Dads get a little typed cast and opting for a gift box of Lynx is certainly not going to cut the mustard. As they say it's the thought that counts and of course it does which is why instead of purchasing a few things that are not actually useful or realistically will be used what is the point? I always feel less is more and getting one very thoughtful gift is far better than a few cliche buys. I have been working with Braun to share my thoughts on sensitive Dads and how their whole world changes when they become parents just like us mums. You can read more about it here . Of course the Braun Series 3 ProSkin is a fantastic option for Dads this year and a number one choice but I thought I would share a few other unique gifts for the man in your life.  1. Klean Kanteen insulated steel bottle by Patagonia £29 2. Fjallraven Greenland Backpack £105  3. Ralph Lauren Breton Striped Top £95 4. Asos Vintage round sunglasses £12......

Dreaming of Florence & 5 reasons I want to visit

Italy is one of those magical places that offers such variety that even if you have visited one city you long to discover more. I have been lucky enough to spend some time in Milan, Venice and Rimini before having children but I have always been left longing to go back. John and I have been discussing a possible road trip down to Italy near the end of summer and I have been putting together a few places I really want to see such as the famous Lakes and eating pizza in Naples but one city that really stands out to me and also features in one of my favourite travel inspired films (Eat, pray, Love) is Florence. Everything about this romantic, historical and artistic city makes me want to jump on a plane right now and be there in the heart of it all. As you may already know as much as I like to throw caution to the wind every now and then I also really like to plan our trips and I am certainly the planner in our house and love nothing better than staring at a map all day working out......
