PARK LIFE

A few weeks ago, our best friends moved back to Bath after a year living away, and we couldn't be happier about it. Impromptu trips to the park, hanging out with your buddies, can make even the most tiring and stressful mornings all better. These kiddos have know each other forever, and they really are such awesome buddies. Here's to mornings at an empty park, bikes and scooters, fallen leaves confetti, houses under the trees and hot chocolates for Mamas :)

Oh, and thank goodness for waterproofs...the weather has definitely turned over the last week!

A few photos by budding photographer Theo...and a little film I made on my phone over at Vimeo too.

WHAT PHINEY WORE

WEARING: blouse by Next // waistcoat hand-knitted by my Mum // thrifted skirt by JoJo Maman Bebe [similar here] // tights by La Coqueta // boots by Clarks Originals

 

So happy to get back to these wearing posts. It's a joy to dress our girls and so much fun, plus I always get loads of emails about where I find their clothes. It's crazy how big Phiney is now, compared to those first wearing posts!

 

As Josephine gets older I'm finding less and less vintage in her size, which is such a shame! Thankfully I know a lovely lady who buys and sells second hand French clothes at crazy reasonable prices, so whilst she may not be in as much vintage these days, she's still wearing something different to everyone else in the playground. I also still stumble across the occasional bargain in the charity shop...this skirt was £1 and is so versatile, and my Mum is always on hand to whip up beautiful pieces that make any outfit extra special.

NOVEMBER: squirrel chasing

After a tumultuous morning (the threenager stage is in full swing right now!) and with Ben in London for the day, the only thing to do was to get out, go for walk and soak up the beautiful November sunshine.

I packed some of the girls' Halloween treats and we found a spot in the sun, ate sweets and laughed together. Coralie was obsessed with chasing every squirrel she could find, often into the bushes, and Josephine collected all the pretty leaves she could. As always Phiney had to stop past the Temple - apparently it's a castle and a princess used to live there.

It was a lovely morning and swept away all the stress of tantrums and lack of sleep; the perfect way to start November.

ps. NOVEMBER??!!
