F WEARS // KIDS STYLE

The sun has been starting to work its magic and last week I stepped out with this boy dressed ready to welcome spring with a smile, wearing these bright colours from Mini Boden. There's definitely something to be said about creating a bit of sunshine with your clothes and I love how playful this outfit is on F. 

The last few weeks have been a bit manic so I'm pleased to be starting this week on a positive note, I've got back into my fitness regime and healthy eating plus I'm trying to ensure I get enough sleep which always helps calm the mind. I really hope we're in for more messy hair, coatless sunny days.

F wears:

What are you looking forward to this spring?

F: Ready for an adventure after waiting for a delivery.

This last week has been so full of busy – fun but busy – that I haven't managed to spend that much time just hanging out with this one, in fact he's spent a few days at my folks as I've been in London for press days and the Amara Interior Blog Awards (there's a whole post to come on this). 

Thankfully the next couple of weeks are a little calmer and I can focus on spending more quality time with F. As a few of you have asked where F's clothes were from I thought I'd share it here:

Coat: Zara

Jumper: Mamas & Papas

Hat: Kite

Jeans: Hand me downs

Wellies: Joules last season

F WEARS // AUTUMN TREASURES

Jumper: Mango
Jeans: Zara
Shoes: Clarks

I always get sucked in by summer, thinking this is by far my favourite season and then autumn quietly approaches and woo's me all over again. The leaves sing with colour with their flaming reds, earthy browns, burnt ochres, bright yellows and mottled greens as the they slowly change and fall.

Last weekend was one of those perfect days, mild and the sunlight streaming down, casting a magical glow in Clifton. Raring to get outdoors, F wore his new jumper kindly sent to us by the lovely folk at House of Fraser and played amongst the rocks and trees in search for natures treasure.

We spent a good few hours collecting conkers, playing with sticks, climbing and generally messing about outside with F happy to be free of a coat and wearing his favourite colour. I really love the teal detailing on this jumper, especially when paired with grey jeans. Eventually when F tired we headed for a hot chocolate and laid out our treasures. 

Have your little ones been enjoying the change in season?

Finally summer is in full swing with hazy days and balmy nights, t-shirt season is here and what better way then to hit the streets with these cool prints from French Blossom. We're loving this selection of of Bakker Made With Love tee's, our favourite being the Mr Muscle print which is perfect for park play dates and ice cream sundaes. Check out their great range of satchels and backpacks too.

I am a sucker for sunshine, it doesn't have to be hot, in fact some of those cold crisp sunny autumn days are my favourite but I do need the sun. I've always found that grey skies and relentless rain effects my mood severely and then F grins, shouts 'wellies on' and all is forgiven. We'll don our raincoats and with my trusty coffee in hand we'll walk around the block, me watching him jump in puddles all the while him squealing and my heart melts. After being spoilt with hints of summer and with the week's forecast of rain on the cards, I'm grateful for my little ray of sunshine.
