Part two dedicated to all those lovely blogs and websites I've been trawling over the past seven months. I've spent countless evenings daydreaming and compiling virtual lists of all the things I would love to buy! Weather you are looking for practical information, a little bit of nursery decor inspiration or the perfect little frock, here is the second part of my must reads.
Enjoy!
ZARA
I love Zara Home and now that I'm starting to decorate the nursery I have another reason to love it even more. Reasonably priced and always chic, I particularly love it for linens, bedding and just about anything for wardrobe organisation (baskets, boxes, cute mini hangers etc). Check out the new Liberty print range too (on sale at the moment), it's adorable.
BON TON
You know that French way women dress? That fabulous, effortless, chic way they put things together? Well they have a just as exquisite way with childrenswear and Bon Ton is probably my favourite store for kids. To me it's all in the powdery colour palette, retro shapes and unexpected colour combinations. Unfortunately it's painfully expensive and I can't really afford it to have to resource to cheaper versions, but nevertheless if you ever get a chance visit the store because it's truly inspirational.
I love this high chair, it's quite compact so perfect for smaller flats
The stores are just so beautiful..
JOJO'S ROOM
I don't understand a word on this truly gorgeous French blog about kids rooms, but who needs to with so much visual scrumptiousness? I scroll through it for hours...
Neon and grey, divine!
MARIE CHANTAL
I was lucky enoug to receive one of the most beautiful gifts from this stunning designer and have since then discovered this gorgeous shop and website. I knew them for their perfect girls hair bows (hoping for a girl just to them in every colour), but there is so much more to that. There is a fantastic sale at the moment which makes everything very affordable. My absolute favorite thing is this velour baby grow with angle wings... simply too cute for words and makes the most stunning present. Packaging and gift wrapping to die for.
Angel wing velour £45.00- our signature onesie in supersoft velour with front press stud fastening and the cutest angelwings on the back. Presented in a sweet keepsake box, it's the perfect gift. Available in white, pink and blue.

BURT'S BEE
I've been using Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter since I got pregnant and absolutely love it. A lot of my friends also swear by the baby range so I've got a whole selection waiting for my baby. I like their philosophy and quality of products: "At Burt's Bees, we use natural ingredients and natural processes to ensure that the products we make for you, our consumers, are the safest, most effective and most natural they can possibly be, to help maximize your well-being"
"Pamper yourself with this extra rich belly butter specially blended to nourish and moisturize skin during your nine month stretch. Our natural fragrance-free formula contains a combination of Cocoa, Shea and Jojoba Butters that will keep your belly feeling soft and smooth before and after your new arrival"
I love the gift sets too, both for mama and baby
MINI BODEN
Ever since I went to the Boden press day back in March I've been really looking forward to their A/W Mini Boden collection to land on the website. I've been checking it almost every day in the past few weeks and finally some of the gorgeous things I saw on the day are available to buy. There is still lots to come, but here are some of my favourites.
I will buy one of these star patch corduroy trousers for my nephew and then will see if I get to buy the pink ones for me...
LIBERTY
This is already one of my favourite department stores in London. I regularly visit the stationery floor for the best selection of cards in London, and I absolutely love their home and jewellery selection. It's only recently that I've discovered the impeccably edited children's department on the 3rd floor (so worth a visit). They stock the cutest brands (Petit Bateau, Caramel, Stella McCartney), but also small quirkier ones (at least to a new mum to be) like ilovegorgeous, Tip Toey Joey, Bonnie Baby, Sun-San Sandals Simple Kids, Maan and Rita co Rita. And really cute gift, books and toys.
I went in this week and couldn't resist the sale rack and bought these cute Caramel Baby and Child polka dot trousers...
.. and then had to stop myself from buying this little bunny romper from Stella McCartney (I want it!!)
But to experience the real thing you have to make a trip to the Regent Street store, if you are not a Londoner it's definitely one of my must-go-to shopping spot for you next visit.
-The End-
See you in a couple of weeks with round three of my favorite blogs and websites...
