Fabulous Boden Bargains – It’s Their Summer Clearance Sale!
I just happened to *cough* fall into the Boden clearance sale earlier. Well – once you’re through the door it’d be rude to not look around, right? Right. And seriously LOOK at those bargains… Love love love – and want in a grown up size. This crochet knitted flower dress is a soft and comfortable wear-all-day winner. Reduced from £40 to under £16, still available in sizes 9-12yrs. Gorgeous. I grabbed one...

(she gives great hugs though) A year ago we were out for a few hours – during which time, Blue was unwell.
