Miss M and I are massive fans of Little Bird by Jools Oliver at Mothercare which you may have read here or seen on my Intsagram feed:
I don’t think there has been a season since Little Bird launched I haven’t loved and scooped up. The clothes are playful, childlike and above all they last.
Without starting to sound like a mum (oh, wait I am a mum!) – the clothes wash up so well and look as good as new every time. So much so that Miss M has been wearing hers for ages and I mean ages – as the sizing is so generous too.
I have also been safely storing them away for any future VIB’s (!) – because it’s exactly what my mum did with my Mothercare pieces from the 1970’s (they then came down from the attic for Miss Marnie.)
Who knows maybe she will have kids one day and will want her vintage Little Bird clothes?
Anyway, I could rattle on about Little Bird forever – but I would much rather show you the new summer collection and give you a sneaky peek of the new baby collection…..
The debut baby collection in 2012 was all about simple printed baby grows and bodysuits – but this summer it has been re-launched. And, Jools Oliver has really given the new-born collection some fashion edge.
The collection is almost a ‘shrunk’ version of the children’s pieces but with those all important ‘baby’ touches – easy to open poppers, zips and buttons. But this time with her signature vibrant rainbow colours, cool prints and retro shapes.
I mean if this doesn’t make anyone want a new baby I don’t know what will!
Little Bird by Jools Baby collection arrives this month.

If I won, the prize would be given to my mum to buy clothes for my nieces. Their parents haven't been able to care for them, so they're just moving in with my mum now. It's a cross-country move for them and huge change, but it's for the best. The downside is that my mum has had to make a lot of new arrangements for them – new schools, redecorating their room for them, getting them school clothes and everyday clothes, and so on. So this prize would be hugely appreciated by her, because it would mean she could take the girls shopping for clothes or some things for their bedroom, and it would help her feel less stressed about the sudden change in lifestyle she's committed to. It'd also be a nice way for me to say, "I love you" to her, as I've been supporting her as much as possible and know she'll do a great job looking after my young nieces, but I live in a different city, so I can't be there in person as much as I'd like to be. So this would be a good way to say, "I'll be there for you as much as I can".
