Fashion Prince

There's so much choice nowadays for kids' fashion with miniature versions of just about everything adults can buy as well as some cute things us grown ups couldn't get away with. Emma's grandson Cameron is definitely a mini trendsetter and is always rocking an amazing outfit. So today we thought we'd bring you a few of his favourite items - not just the clothes but also his favourite activities, teddies and shoes!


 This is Cameron on his favourite rocking horse with his Gruffalo outfit on!


 With his certificate from the Teddy Bear Factory.


 This is one of his favourite toys - he loves playing shops although his doesn't sell cool vintage clothes like his nanny's does! It was from John Lewis and costs £49.99.


How cute are these new Converse?!


Cameron was really excited to grow his own flower - this pack was from John Lewis and cost just £5.99.


His favourite cup featuring the characters from the children's book The Gruffalo.


Cameron's absolute favourite thing to do is painting - he'd spent all day getting messy if he was allowed to!





Cameron's new Trunki backpack - he was super excited to have this for his swimming lessons. How cool does it look? It costs £19.99.


He's so hot on his fashion and always enjoys rocking the latest trends! This t-shirt and hat are both from H&M.


How cute is this little sock monkey? Cameron has named his Stripey!


Hunters are THE wellies to be seen in and these mini versions are ever cooler! Cameron loves it when it rains so he can pop on his wellies and splash in all the puddles. These were £34.99 from Office.


Freddie and Ralph go everywhere with Cameron - they're his favourite teddies and were both from the Teddy Bear Factory.


How cool is this t-shirt? It's from River Island and is a bargain at £8.


These are just the funkiest little trainers ever! They're from H&M and Cameron loves them. We love them too - do they come in our size?!

Dancing the night away

Last night, Harriet and one of her best friends Rachael went on a night to Snobs in Birmingham. Rach runs a lovely little blog here all about her love of tea, vintage and the simple things in life! We had a fab time dancing the night away to some quality tunes and decided once we were dressed Harriet had accidentally taken inspiration from Olivia Newton-John at the end of Grease for her outfit! Rach was definitely rocking the Grecian goddess look. Here's a little peak at the outfits:

HARRIET:


Leather jacket - New Look / hairpins - from Emma's shop / statement necklace - Miss Selfridge / t-shirt - New Look / leggings - Topshop / shoes - New Look

RACH:


Feather headband - River Island / dress - Chelsea Girl at River Island / shoes - River Island / owl necklace -  Harriet's from Primark

Make it Mine Monday: our shopping wishlists

If like us you're a serious fan of shopping you'll know the joy of searching out new beauties to buy and compiling a wishlist of items that seriously need to make their way in to your wardrobe now! So over the weekend Emma has been looking through some of the latest magazines while Harriet's been scouring the web for some lovely clothes and accessories! We are seriously in love - get us to the shops quick!


I believe in love at first sight after seeing this beauty! I adore the pattern and think it would look amazing on. I'd wear it for work with a simple outfit, I wouldn't want to take away the limelight from the dress itself!

At £12.90 this is a little pricier than most necklaces I normally choose (I'm a cheapskate I know!) but I love how much of a statement it makes and think it would look just as amazing with a simple t-shirt and jeans/skirt combo as it would dressed up for a night out.

River Island is one of those shops I would normally walk straight past but whenever I do venture in there I tend to find stuff I like and my current favourite night out dress is from there. This t-shirt is so cute. I'd either pair it with jeans/leggings or tuck it in to a mullet skirt.

These wedges need to be on my feet now! I love the detail and I'm a massive fan of New Look when it comes to affordable but comfy heels for a night out.

I adore a printed dress and this is an absolute beaut! I'd definitely save this for a special night out with some simple earrings and a pair of heels. H&M's hard to beat when it comes to affordable fashion that fits so well and this one is a steal at £24.99.



I love this metallic skirt! It's a must have this season and well worth investing in! I'd definitely wear it with a boob tube but you could really experiment with it as it would go with so many things.

ASOS metallic shoes
Metallics are so in this season so these little gems will look so on trend! I'd wear them with most things, either with jeans, a pencil skirt or tailored trousers. They could be worn at night or in the day as they are so versatile, I love them!

Hair jewellery
This jewellery really updates this simple bun and makes it look so now - it's a look you can really play around with to find something which will suit your hairstyle. You could even use your own old jewellery if you don't have the cash to splash out on a new piece!

At £18 this Chanel nail polish is on the luxury end of the scale but the colour is so amazing and it's bound to be such a high quality product it would be well worth investing in. This colour is Lotus Rouge which is absolutely amazing but there are a whole host of colours in the Le Vernis range which are all as beautiful as each other!

I absolutely love this coat! Leopard prints never date, season after season they can be found on the catwalk and on the high street too. This coat is such a classy piece and you could wear it winter after winter. Because it's Zara it will last for so long, you're bound to get your money's worth out of it.
