Denim Shorts for Girls – Pretty, and Bargainous too.

You might have noticed – I really LOVE Vertbaudet clothes for children. They’re well made, well-fitted (waists are all elasticated or adjustable, for example) and totally practical – as well as looking really good. They wear well, wash well, and above all of that they’re brilliant value for money. What’s not to love about them? This summer the girl has been pretty much living in a few mix-and-match...

Simply fabulous kids clothes for the Great Outdoor Adventures

One thing you learn really fast is that when you’re hiking, comfort is where it’s at. Seriously. You do NOT want to be walking for miles in trousers that rub, a top that rides up or a waterproof that cuts of circulation at the wrists. Even the children know this, and they don’t need reminding what to select when told ‘we’ll be walking today’. So what do they choose? Well – our recent trip to...

Gorgeous Retro Spotted Swimsuits for girls just £4.50!

I don’t really think I have much to say about this costume, except that I LOVE it. I am stupidly super-fussy about my daughter’s swimming costumes. I know I am. For me, bikinis are a no. A v-shaped neckline which suggest cleavage? That’s out too. The same rules as lunchboxes apply in terms of no annoying cartoon characters. So my choices are quite narrow; and the need seem to crop up regularly as the girl grows so...

Pack of 3 boys tees – Gorgeous AND Bargainous!

These boys t-shirts are such great value. They’re super soft, thick enough to wash well (don’t you hate it when t shorts get all twisty with rolled up hems after just a couple of washes?) and a great choice of colours. My uber-fussy 11 yr old lives in them, which is about as high an accolade as boys clothes get, I guess… They’re in Vertbaudet’s sale right now too, with the three pack being reduced to just...

Review: Essential summer cover up from @_Sunuva

A while ago we were asked by Sunuva to review this gorgeous Kaftan. Despite the lack of sunshine, it’s still seen pretty constant use – it’s so pretty, and so comfortable to wear, that it immediately became a firm favourite. As you can see, it looks just as good with shorts and wellies as it would over swimwear on the beach. Because that’s what it’s designed for – fully UV protective light cotton...
