We had a really lovely Fathers Day this year - a lovely long, relaxed lunch with my husbands family, followed by a swim with the girls (well, a dip in the heated spa, we're barely out of winter after all!).
Before we sat down to lunch, we took the girls to the local swimming baths. I'd always enjoyed looking at them from my in-laws house, but had never actually gone down there before.
Despite it being overcast, and a little bit drizzly, it was so lovely - and not a soul in sight. I can't wait to head down there again when the weather warms up.
Have you been reading the Sunday Collector blog? It's written by the gorgeous Briar Stanley, covering interiors, food, entertaining, motherhood and so much more. If you have a little time to spare, head over and take a look - you might even see a lovely post on Minouche! xo
I always eagerly await the next Minty Magazine. It's guaranteed to be filled with so much yummy inspiration for kids clothing, decor, parties and general lifestyle, and the fact that I can read it for free from my iPad after the littles are tucked away in bed is just an added bonus.
So I was majorly excited to be featured on the gorgeous Minty blog today! Im so grateful to get to share my story with their readers. And if you're one of those people who prefer their reading material in hard copy? Minty will be available in hard copy form later this year. In the meanwhile, check out the first three issues here.
I love simple (or at least not too fussy) clothing on my girls. Basic dresses and sweet playsuits that only really need sandals and a smile to look cute. One reason for this is that they both have pretty big personalities and I feel like fussy clothing would just be overwhelming (for me anyway). Another is that they usually accessorise with a mask/umbrella/boa/hat/glasses/socks/jewellery/all of the above – so if they’re wearing something relatively simple it doesn’t look too over the top after they’ve added their must-haves. But the main reason is that there are so many great kids accessories out there that look amazing, and paired with a simple outfit can change it from being casual enough to rock the playground,...
I was lucky enough to be introduced - via Instagram - to the lovely Amy Oliver, a Melbourne-based (but will travel!) photographer. She teamed up with the delightful Claire (of @myhipsterkid) to take a gorgeous series of photos of their little girls in Minouche clothing.
Here are the adorable (and just a little bit cheeky!) girls in the Evie playsuit.
If that isn't sweet enough, here they are in the Evie dress (in blush) and the Lolly dress (in floral). These girls are so sweet and playful, and look like such great pals.
Thank you to Amy and Claire, and their super sweet, incredibly cute little girls!
