Garden Pixies

What a change a day makes. Yesterday's gloom and rain was swept aside with bright blue skies and almost summery temperatures. We don't need much of an excuse to hang out in the garden and get our Cabbages & Roses linen throw and pillows out. Today Mini and Phin had their friends Ava and Zac over and what a stylish set they make. Mini is wearing another one of her classic Bonton smock dresses, a white and red pin spot version and matching red leggings, a white Bonpoint vest and red and white striped socks from Trumpette. Zac meanwhile is in a navy and white checked shirt and blue cords both from Marie-Chantal.

 

What fun snuggling under the covers and climbing Tea Rose our resident garden elephant. We bought her from the elephant parade where she was on show at Tower Bridge, and now she lives under a Rhododendrum bush in our garden. Phin ditched his H&M denim shorts but kept the rocker vibe going with his Che Guevara t-shirt bought by his grandparents all the way back from Cuba and worn under his blue check shirt from Caramel. While Ava wore her woodland floral shirt from Bonpoint (Mini has the dress version - its our favourite) and a pair of navy Gap leggings topped off with an enormous Marie-Chantal hot pink bow. Oh how Mini can't wait to have enough hair to merit a bow of such magnitude. In fact Ava's bow collection is said to rival that of Mini's. And why not, there's nothing better to top off an outfit than a big juicy bow!  

we love you Tea Rose
