Pretty & practical summer clothes – our pick of the best from Vertbaudet

We had the pleasure of reviewing a selection of clothes from Vertbaudet whilst in France. I clapped my hands in glee when the lovely people at Vertbaudet offered Pink a holiday selection – her usual UK packlist just wasn’t cutting it for warmer climes. Of course, one dress and her UV suit was all she actually nee-e-e-ded, but a girl can’t have too many pretty cotton items when she’s off on her hols....

Spotted! Pretty maternity wear (that’s not).

Okay, so this isn’t actually maternity wear… but these Kimonos from Caro London would be simply fabulous for drifting around the house on a summers afternoon, when you have that hot, twitchy pregnant feeling and absolutely NOTHING is comfortable to wear.

Best of all, being Etsy and therefore all hand printed (my fave bit – stamped with locally-grown potatoes)  it comes in sizes from itty bitty 6mths to galumphing great 6 years! Now tell me you haven’t just fallen in love with this cleverest little...

Bobux Soft Leather Childrens Slippers review

I have to admit I’m a bit of a late convert to slippers. Never wore them myself, and never really got why a thick pair of socks wasn’t better for the children’s feet than restrictive slippers. Then I did start to wear them myself (get thee away from me, cold feet), and was persuaded that they were quite nice – but still felt a pair of socks was better on small growing bones.
