This day I love.......

Last week I had the privilege of attending the Spring/Summer 2017 preview for Mothercare.  Mothercare are a brand I trust and offer great value for money, with clothes that have lasted for all three of my children and toys that have stood the test of time.


The bright colours of the wooden toys caught my attention first.  Made for little fingers to explore and gorgeous colours inviting play.  Not content with a book case Mothercare have revamped the standard bookcase into a gorgeous bus, which I think would be perfect for any of my children.


Another of their bookcase designs is this beautiful house.  I know the girls would love this, and with plenty of storage for both books and toys it would brighten up their rooms and help keep things tidy.


We love to play outdoors and it was lovely to see a whole range dedicated to outdoor play.  Everything from playing games to encouraging imaginative play with gardening tools.  Bubble makers, sand tools and tools to play in water, there is enough to keep children playing outdoors and having lots of fun!


The milestone range was a stand out piece for me.  Trying to take a photo of Little Man with the milestone cards is getting harder now he is mobile and eats everything.  These fab vests would make things so much easier!


The new collection from Julien Macdonald features fun animals set with splashes of pastel colours for girls and mainly blues for boys.  Panda on the girls clothing and Leopold for the boys.  Really fun prints and a beautiful collection.


There is also some stunning occasion wear from Julien Macdonald which would be perfect for weddings or christenings, or even birthday parties!


Mothercare are also partnering with Tommy's.  Tommy's, for those who are not familiar with the charity, help to fund vital research to prevent miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth.  The donations from the sale of their My rainbow baby bodysuits will help to support such a worthy cause and provide hope for many women and their partners.



One of the features I really loved was seeing the dinosaur theme extending from the boys wear into the girls.  My girls love dinosaurs and we often buy bits from the boys section so it is great to see Mothercare catering for those who want pink sparkly dinosaurs as well as the more traditional dinosaur colours.



Of course one of the other amazing ranges with Mothercare is my k by myleene klass.  Sticking with the monochrome theme she is best known for and adding in splashes of colour, the range was very eye-catching with lots of extra detail worked in to make it really stand out.


 My favourite piece from this collection though was this top with skirt, how beautiful does this look!

Little man and I had our very own adventure today, we came to London. Yes I did a 2 hour train journey on my own with the little one. Lucky for me the train staff were absolutely amazing and showed some fantastic customer service. We arrived in London and our adventure began. First the tube!
The underground is a rather interesting experience with a pushchair. Lifts seem to be hidden in the darkest depths of corridors but none the less we managed it. Little man was mesmerised by the lights and sounds and the whooshing noises soon sent him to sleep.

We called in to see a wonderful PR company who showed us some of their clients and their fantastic ranges. We are slowly getting into holiday mode, with out first holiday coming up soon and so brands such as Teva who make some beautiful sandals were high on my radar. I was impressed with the ranges from Samsonite and American Tourister, having seen the press releases I was keen to see in real life. 


 The Star Wars suit cases caught my attention and I will admit to trying to sneak it out.


I think the girls however would love these from the original muck boot company. Perfect for muddy walks!

Little man then got to test out some of the Joolz pushchair range


He looked incredibly happy in them

We were sad to leave such a welcoming and friendly team but had another exciting appointment to attend. We once again braved the tube but this time learnt the hard way that not all tubes are pushchair friendly, so had to make a detour back to one that was and a lovely 20minute walk through London. The sun was shining and it was a glorious day, lucky as I had lost the rain cover for the pushchair!

Our next destination was Harrods and little man was once again taken in by all the wonderful shiny lights, particularly in the lift.


After a quick feed it was time to meet with the Cybex team for their UK launch of the Priam by Jeremy Scott. I had seen the press release of this but they do nothing compared to the flesh. The luxurious black sets off the gold angel wings. Designer bags, car seats and accessories to go with the new look Priam. Little man certainly seemed to have fun testing it out.


The functionality of the Priam has not changed it simply has had a very designer, very fresh and fashionable upgrade. The Priam will be exclusive to Harrods for a period of time before rolling out to a select few retailers.

After lunch at the Bulgari hotel and a chat with some lovely people we headed out for our final adventure. This time braving a taxi and a quick journey to the Mothercare AW preview.

Little man picked this moment to have a nap so I took a good look at the toys from Early learning and spotted a few Christmas present ideas


As well as some Christmas pieces


The new Peter rabbit range really caught my eye, with soft delicate neutral tones it would make an ideal gift for s new baby.


Of course my eye was naturally drawn to the superhero collection and with bright funky patterns and slogans I wanted to take it all home


I also spotted little mans Halloween outfit


Mothercare also seem to be about making bold statements be it with the bright colours and patterns from Little bird by Jools or the black and white from Myleene Klass

I was really impressed by the individuality of each range whilst maintaining this bold pattern theme throughout. My favourite range however was Smile, because each piece did just that!


Time seemed to fly and we had to rush to get back to the train, with only 2 minutes to spare! Little man and I had a fabulous day in London and would like to say thank you to everyone who invited us.

This day I love little man and his big adventure.
