Kids Posh Togs

There is definitely a chill in the air, especially at night time so the call for the baby sleeping bag is getting louder.  For anyone who hasn’t used them before I’d recommend you give them a try.  I have spent many a night during cold winters getting up to tuck in my babies when they wriggled free from their sheets and blankets and were cold.  When I discovered the baby sleeping bag that could be popped over their babygros the night waking was reduced drastically!

Hello Kitty is a popular brand and this sleeping bag has zips up both sides so it is easy to pop your baby inside and for nappy changing.

Your bridesmaids and flowergirls will look as pretty as a picture in this wine petal float dress from Tigerlily at Debenhams.  In bright white the sleeveless in 100% polyester has a nylon netting overlay that floats over the skirt beautifully.

To contrast against the white and stand out from the bride’s dress, these bridesmaid dresses have deep wine coloured heart petals scattered all over the skirting and a lovely corsage attached to the tiny sash waist.

The fitted bodice of the dress has a cross-over effect before the full skirt, and fastens down the back.

A cute pair of baby shoes finishes off an outfit.  For pre-walking babies the shoes need to be soft with plenty of room so as not to squash those delicate baby toes.  There is no need for supportive ankles and soles as your baby won’t be walking for any length of time when she’s wearing these shoes, they are for decoration only.  Great for keeping those little feet a bit warmer during the colder season too.

These little shoes are made from soft pink suede with a pretty bow on one side and a contrasting leather close and press strap for easy fastening.

Autumn is my favourite time of year and I love the clothing that goes with the season too.  I’m not a huge fan of the sun and prefer to keep covered up, so a return to long sleeves and cosy tops is much more my thing.
