kisses from paris xoxo

Phew! the last few weeks have been IMMENSE. so much has been going on. i can barely keep up with all the activities - a 40th birthday party, mummy's birthday, an ear infection, marni for h&m launch which saw mummy glued to the pc for 2 solid hours followed by a lunch date with aunty adenike (she introduced mummy to the best burger at All Bar One), a day trip to henley with aunty tinashe,  a trip to meet aunty jen & aunty braid in kingston and finally a trip to bicester! phew! we have been busy.  so what did we wear on all these days? here it goes...

what i wore to aunty sosy's birthday:

what we wore to Henley-on-Thames:

 i cant remember where i wore this but i just had to get it in here:

coat, jeans & sweater - topshop

shoes - office (old)

bag - zara

top & cardi - zara

finally our trip to kingston where mummy's insatiable craving for a yummy burger was satisfied at Byron's. YUM!

 so it's been a busy old time! now we are off to paris for a week and will be reporting to you from there on all our fashion finds and happy jaunts! if you have any ideas on things for mummy and i to do besides the obvious shopping, do let us know.

if there's one thing mummy loves more than the joy of shopping, it's the 28 day refund opportunity. 

so, as i mentioned before, daddy and i gave her some cash on her birthday which was supposedly being saved for a mulberry bag. that was before we walked past zara and she popped in for a white shirt and left with...well, lets just say more than a white shirt. 

fast forward a week and marni for h&m was launching and she decided that it was worth more than the zara stuff so she decided she'd be buying that instead and returning zara. 

fast forward to Sunday and mummy somehow convinces daddy to drive up to bicester using her feminine charms.

we are going where??

my pretty shoes from aunty tinashe

 so there you have it - the refund policy was designed with my mummy in mind! i'm just glad she got that bag - looks like there's no hurry for another baby now!

mummy and her handbag yesterday

**update**
there has been a slight change of heart with mummy - as you can see this cardi is from the marni for h&m collection! didn't quite get returned - apparently this is her mothers day gift to herself......hmm - i smell something, and it aint coming from my diaper!


morayo-hope wore:
cardi, top, shoes, tights & shorts - zara baby
Doll - mamas & papas

mummy wore:
cardi - marni for h&m (if you love it keep checking on the site as people are starting to return things now)
jeans - 'valencia' wide leg jean by made in heaven
 bag - mitzy hobo, mulberry (discontinued, replaced with the Effie - view here )

 mummy says there are many different types of mothers in this world.

 there are those women who are mothers by virtue of giving birth, and there are those women who take anothers children as their own and love them unconditionally.

 there are those women who provide guidance, comfort and wisdom at critical times in our lives;  and there are those women who by virtue of just being there make us feel like we can achieve, and be anything we dream.

it was my mummy's birthday last week. on the day i woke her up at 6am with the loudest scream i could muster. then to make sure she was really awake, i did a dirty nappy. once that was changed i did another one. look, i was making sure she really experienced the whole day...it only comes once a year. anyhoo, i'm a lady so enough talk about nappies!

dress - gift from aunty studu & solloh
cardi - mamas & papas

There was a problem with mummy's camera setting hence the mega-glow on her top.  she's not a celestial being!

jacket - vintage
jeans & top - gap
shoes - faith shoes (old)
bag - mulberry

it was a lovely day in the end for mummy as we served her her favourite breakfast: cash in a card. she spent the rest of the morning floating around the house muttering about how it was going into her mulberry fund. fast forward 2 hours and there she was in Zara carrying a pile of clothes worth way more than the cash she received. **sigh** looks like there's only one way she'll be getting another one of those bags...and I'm not having it!!

back to the drawing board. bye!! xoxo
