Friday I'm in love... with pom poms

It all started with a hat. A simple bobble hat for the winter months. I've been looking out for one on my travels and along the way I've been noticing lots of pom poms all over the place - from bags to shoes, and jumpers to jewellery. So this winter I fancy pom poms in a few other places than just a hat, starting with these shoes which I LOVE and stopping off at a few other bobbles along the way. Above are some of my faves. (Minus jewellery you'll note - even I draw the line at pom pom earrings.)

Friday I'm in love... with the best winter coats

...time to go Winter coat shopping, that is. As has become tradition, I've been enjoying a trawl through the shops (online of course - actual bricks and mortar shopping options are fairly limited over here) to look at coats for the big Winter Coat Shop. Last year's picks were pretty colourful, but this year I'm looking for something a bit more classic. No matter how many I look at, I keep coming back to the old favourites - parkas, fur collars, trenches... now to just choose one. Or seven.

Summer brights

A snapshot of a little haul I picked up for Arlo in Mothercare recently. It's getting warmer every day so t-shirts and shorts are what we need to stock up on. I picked lots of brights because Summer is almost here! Stand by for pics of his squidgy little knees peeking out from underneath these yellow shorts some time very soon...

Friday I'm in love... with my top ten winter coats

I love Autumn. It's a new chapter, the beginning of the Xmas countdown (I start early) and most importantly it means WINTER COAT SHOPPING. Is there any better kind? There are some lovely lovely coats around this year, I've been spending ages pouring all over them all (online obvs - the Island does not boast the best shop selection it has to be said). So here's my top ten. Clearly a bit more narrowing down needed.
