Lily's Summer Fashion Wardrobe

If you have been following my blog for the fast few years, each year I do a new summer collection of the clothing I have bought Lily for her holidays. It is one of my favourite things to do is shop for pretty summer little items and accessories and is a great opportunity to buy Lily some new dresses. I never go mad with buying but of corse, each year she gets a little bit bigger and so each year I need new things. 

So, here is the selection I have bought Lily this year. 

1. New Summer Hat and Shoes. 
The hat, Lily spotted at the counter as we were paying for something in Primark, she just picked it up and said mummy please can I have this, and she looked so cute in it that I could just not resist saying yes. It was only around £3.50 to so a bargain and I just had to get it. As for the little shoes, Lily has now gone up a whole size into 7's. So that means a whole new set of shoes. I got these ones from Show Zone for £7.99.


2. New Sunglasses 
Lily does love her sunglasses, but they are also one thing that I can never find around the house. So I have bought her 2 new pairs of sunglasses from Primark. The white ones are plastic  so then they don't get damaged on the beach and then the others are for nice walks and times we are not going near sand. Both pairs were only about £3.50.


3. Mermaid Hat  
Okay so Lily already has a hat but this one suited her so much that we just had to buy it. It works nicely with her colourful summer clothing she has and will make a nice alternative to the other hat. This was also bought at primark and was also around £3.50


4. Socks
Its a new summer essential to buy new socks for a holiday right? Lily likes wearing socks, even with sandals she wants to have socks on. So I picked up lots of pairs of socks that would look great with trainers and sandals for the summer. Again, another Primark bargain with some only being £2.50 a pack. 


5. Vests 
A lot of Lily's vests are all getting very small and also show under a lot of her clothing, thats why I have bought these thin strap vests. Again from Primark. They are thin enough for under her outfits and also perfect for sleeping in if she gets to hot. I love the colourful designs on them too. 


6. Dresses 
 Finally something to show you from another store. I picked up these 2 cute dresses from Boots. It was 3 dresses for 12 pounds and so bought these 2 and the other in the second photograph. I loved the colours in them and the blue works nicely for a night time dress as well as daytime. The thing I like about the style of the first 2 dresses is that after she has grown out of them as a dress, they work perfectly as a top.
The third dress I loved because of the seaside scene at the bottom. It is perfect for out holiday as we are going to the seaside. 



7. Shorts  
Lily still fits into a lot of her shorts from last year, but she chose these ones because she likes the ice cream design on them. These were also from Primark, i'm not sure how much they were now but they were only cheap and so perfect for playing on holiday in. 


8. New Hoodie 
Last but not least is a new hoodie. We always have one or 2 colder days on holiday and there is always the sea breeze to contend with. I loved the nautical feel to this hoodie and thought it was perfect for the holiday. This cost me about £5 and was from a local discount store. 


Have you got some new clothing for your child's holiday?

Monthly Book Roundup - What we have been Reading in June

Each month I write about which books we have been reading during the month. I usually introduce Lily to 4 or 5 new books each month while at the same time reading some of our favourites. We have story time each night and always read 2-4 stories, depending on how tired she is. 

You can read all the other book roundups from the last 2 years here

Another month and so here is another selection of books.

This month we made sure there was one book all about dad in the selection due to having Fathers day this month. But the rest were chosen by Lily. 



1. Shopping with dad by Matt Harvey 
This was our favourite from this months selection. The story is quite a comical story all about dad getting sent out to the supermarket with his daughter and a shopping list. While they are there the daughter causes all sorts of chaos which lands dad into trouble. But dad doesn't mind as he finds all his daughters antics funny. The book has great rhyming to it and after you have read it a few times, it gets easier to read, as to begin with some of the sentences were a little tricky to roll off the tongue. Lily really enjoyed this and though lots of it was funny. She asked me to read this story many times. This is a really good book for fathers day if you are not looking for a lovey dovey type dad book. My partner enjoyed reading this story to Lily just for that reason. I picked this book up on a book stall at a market but it can be bought online. 

2. The Amazing Journey by Cheryl Hawkinson & Mary Eakin
This is a great story that is perfect for bedtime. It is all about a little boy who is about to go to sleep and starts to dream all about the toys around his room coming to life. He then has adventure after adventure with these toys including his favourite stuffed animal dragon that flies him through the sky. It is a great story for any child with a great imagination. The illustrations are also really colourful which also help keep a child engaged in the story. Lily enjoyed this story and thought it was excited that the toys were coming alive in his dream. I got sent this book by Igloo Books and you can buy this from their website. 

3. Superworm by Julia Donaldson 
I had heard really great things about this story and Julia Donaldson is one of our favourite authors but I must admit I wasn't carried away with this story. It is all about Superworm who is great at doing lots of things, and his friends all love him. He gets captured and then his friends go to rescue him. I didn't find the storyline as exciting as I had with other Julia Donaldson books and Lily didn't either. She didn't seem to understand the storyline and kept asking questions all the way through the book. Mostly asking why all the time. I find at bedtime it is better that Lily can relax and sit back and enjoy the story rather than having to ask questions. But just because Lily didn't like or understand the story doesn't mean other children wont. I have heard that it is some children's favourite book so it may be worth giving it a go. You can buy this book at most story book retailers.
