WHAT THEY WORE: ON THE PLANE

GOLDEN BOYS

How to keep your boys looking and feeling cool as the weather hots up..

Firstly, sorry to everyone who received this post earlier via email with no content! That’s taught me a lesson about leaving my iPad near my one year old!

Anyhow, the sunshine has well and truly made an appearance and my edit of boys’ summer clothes is ready just in time!

My main tip for a stylish boys look is to turn up the sleeves

THE SUN’LL COME OUT TOMORROW..

The sun’ll come out tomorrow..Hattie is singing those very words as I write this. The sun has been coming in and out like a jack-in-a-box and thankfully Hipministyle has summer style sewn up. Today it’s boys, 0-3yrs..

The practical things…

Stylish (and reasonable) kids’ swimwear is so hard to come by in the UK.

We’re lucky enough to spend time in Spain so I tend to buy it all over there. The Spanish are in a different league when it comes to dressing little ones and their swimwear is something else.

Suddenly your kids’ winter wardrobes will be redundant and you’ll have weeks of uniform-less summer holidays ahead of you.  You will excitedly rush out to buy them some lovely summery things. Except there won’t be any left.. You may be lucky enough to spot the fab romper you’ve been looking at for months, but it’ll be in the wrong colour and/ or size. So i’m telling you, buy now or regret later. You really will!
