I'm a big girl now

That's right - I'm practically a grown up. Over the New Year I moved into my very own big girl bed and I am terribly terribly chuffed with myself. I adore the vintage, girly vibe of my Ikea bed and how I can climb in and out all by myself. Mummy loves that the decorative swirls also act as rails to stop me tumbling out during the night. The best bit? Mummy and Daddy can snuggle in with me if I have a nightmare.

Hands up who loves weddings?

I love weddings - and I have been to a few over the past year and a bit. I went to one earlier this month and agonised a bit over what to wear. Being December it was inevitably warm. However, the ceremony was outdoors so I didn't want to get sunburnt.

In the end I opted for this slightly retro-looking Tea Pony number. I had been eyeing it off in their madeit store but ended up ordering it from Baby's Got Style (http://www.babysgotstyle.com.au/) because I left my decision to the last minute (surprising?) and knew that they'd get it to me within 24 hours.

I teamed with it a purple cardi by Minihaha (from http://www.therockinghorse.com.au/) and red shoes by Old Sole (from http://www.littlestyles.com.au)/ .

I had a big night of dancing and flirting with boys so ended up sleeping in my dress. It pulled up quite well the next morning though don't you think?

Feathering my nest

It's been a while and once again I have no decent excuse for not posting regularly. Aside from trips to Sydney, Melbourne and Townsville during my 6 week blog hiatus. And Christmas shopping of course!!



I thought I'd end 2009 with a familiar theme - sleep! Mummy continues to persevere and make my sleep environment as inviting as possible in the vain hope I might decide to slumber peacefully for a considerate amount of time. Considerate being Mummy's word. Apparently it is inconsiderate to wake at 4am and want to play. Who knew??



Anyway, I thought you might like to see my divine sheets from Habitat Baby - so gorgeous don't you think? Stylish with a hint of girliness but not too babyish. I love them. I only hope by the time I am ready to move to a big girl bed (it's already arrived and is in my room - I'm just waiting on a mattress) that Habitat Baby (www.habitatbaby.com.au )has their single bed range ready to go!

Opposite the Eiffel

Having started the week on Paris' Left Bank (La Rive Gauche) at the Eiffel Tower, I thought I thought it was time to take you across the Seine and introduce you to the Right Bank... my newest Right Bank Babies romper that is!

I adore the bold purple print and like almost everything in the Right Bank Babies collection, it's fully reversible so if the fancy takes me, I can turn it inside out and create an entirely new look!

Two outfits for the price of one - that's terribly thrifty of me isn't it?! I should buy something new with the money I saved...

The wheels on the bus

I recently stumbled across this gorgeous singlet by Little Rose on http://www.madeit.com.au/ (yes yes, I spend FAR too much time browsing on there). I wasn't looking for anything like it, but I just had to snap it up (you understand don't you?) as soon as I saw it.

It's hard to do it justice with a photo - the retro bus is felt (feels so lovely when I stroke it!) and the little cap sleeves are just divine. I confess I am a total sucker for fabric sleeves on a knit top of any description. I think I picked up that trait from my Mummy.

I'm going to team it with some denim shorts to wear tomorrow. I'm just not sure whether to go with dark denim or my faded chambray ones. Suggestions?

There's a parrot in my bed

Here's a sneak peek at my gorgeous sheets Grandma made me from some Saffron Craig material (Parrots is this design). No wonder I don't want to sleep when I've got something so gorgeous to do my nightly yoga routine on!

ps do you like my Eternal Creation pjs?

Eyeing off the Eiffel

Paris the most stylish city in the world. Fact. Kido Store has the funkiest clothes for pint-sized shopaholics? I'm beginning to suspect that this might also be an inarguable fact. Just look at this uber-chic t-shirt by Atsuyo Et Akiko with the subtle Eiffel Tower print and it's exlcusive 7th arrondissment postcode.

I teamed it with an OUCH denim skirt and black footless tights and added a touch of colour with my pink Tip Toey Joey sandals. Perfect for a spot of Saturday morning shopping don't you think? Just a shame that shopping wasn't in Paris...
