I think Monsoon's range looks really fun! Makes me want it to summer with ice-creams and paddling pools!
I know me too!
Ooh this looked like a fab event. I love the look of the river island. I used to have loads of garden gang books, and had Oliver Onion and Tim Tomatoe ha ha, my fave was sally strawberry x
I wish I could find my copies… thanks for stopping by x
Oh wowzers – it's just all too cute!!! Loving the M&S collection, that little yellow swimsuit is too cute, and I will raise my hand now to say I never even knew River Island did a kids range!!!! Who knew!!! (Well, me, obviously) So thank you Bonita for educating me tonight!!!! Steph xxx
Ha ha Steph – you are welcome and happy shopping!
Bonita, thanks SO much for sharing this. I'm not interested in women's fashion at all but I could gawp at baby/kids clothes all day long. I love the M&S range (that yellow rain mac… too cute!).

Love the Cath Kidston dress! I usually get a lot from Boden so will be checking out the garden themed things, I've still got the garden gang books and my son loves them! Great post. Lucky you getting a preview! Xx
I know isn't it cute and for £24 I think a great price x
This all looks rather fabulous, adorable and kitch. Great taste lovely. Especially love the elephant, plant pot cupcakes and welly holders!! Fab ideas! Xxx
thanks hun x
My mum still has our garden gang books! I'm loving the M&S biosphere clothes and am very grateful I don't have little girls anymore or I'd be totally broke lol x
I love that Cath Kidston Ric-Rak dress. Gorgeous. Do you think they do it in adult size too?! The pineapple dress from River Island is also very cute. That would be perfect in the sunshine. I now need to win the lottery or rob a bank to be able to afford all these clothes. Hugs Mrs H xxxx
Do not rob a bank, I beg you 🙂 Winning a lottery is a better solution, but the harder one. Still people win as Oz Lotto results, for instance, show.
