Dr. Beckmann Colour & Dirt Collector Sheets

So school approaches – and with it the dreaded return of the laundry pile. I love the summer months, with its limited washing of shorts and tees – yes, even in the ‘summer’ we can expect in good ole Blighty. The trouble is – I’m a lazy laundress. I am.

Boys Jeans. Good ones.

I consider myself to be a minor expert on boys jeans. I am, after all, the proud owner of three boys. Three boys of the outdoorsy/skateboardey/building-dens-in-the-woods-ey kind. (I’m not actually sure small boys come in other varieties, tbh). So – jeans are, of course, essential wardrobe fodder. but they need to be decent ones.
