bonjour monsieur

Simple Kids Monsieur T-Shirt (2-10 years)
I’ve just finished series four of Spiral (I still can’t decide whether I actually like it or not?), so that might explain why I was drawn to this particular t-shirt. But a more likely explanation might simply be that it’s just a really cool t-shirt. I love the ‘relaxed fit’ too. I know it’s not exactly t-shirt weather (although amazingly, I did manage a trip to the supermarket without a coat today), but this is definitely a ‘buy now, wear later’ find that is likely to sell out soon (particularly now the sun has actually put in an appearance this year). And at a pinch, you could always layer with a cashmere cardigan or a navy hoodie if you really can’t wait to bust it out…

ps: I have just discovered a company called lostmy.name, who create beautifully illustrated bespoke books for children based on the letters of their name. It’s such a clever idea. You just go to their website, where you’re guided through the process (it couldn’t be easier, and literally takes minutes), and at the end you have an individual, personalised child’s magical, adventure story book. I have just ordered one each for Marlow and Tabitha. They are so cute, and just £16.99 (they ship worldwide, but postage is free to the UK). I think they might be my latest ‘go-to’ gift idea (perfect for newborns, christenings, birthdays…). Definitely worth checking out. Totally adorable.

Mini Club Girls Floral Pyjamas (9 months-5 years)
These were a tip-off from my lovely friend (and sadly, ex-neighbour), Kath. She spotted them a while ago, but they were so popular, they sold out before I had a chance to post them. Now they’re back, so don’t hang around if you want to get your hands on a pair. Boots do some really fab things for kids (they’re just not always that easy to find…). In fact, I’ve got some real gems in there in the past (and you would never guess where they were from). So if you’ve never thought of looking (and frankly, why would you?), take a peek – you may well be surprised. I love that these are really classic, old-fashioned pyjamas (they have a bit of a Little House On The Prairie vibe about them). They are 100% cotton, which for the price (you can even use your Boots points to pay if you like – love that!), is pretty great. They feel very Christmas-y to me (just not in the obvious way). So sweet.
