Summer Essentials

Summer essentials for the beach

• A full brim hat (like Alex & Ant denim hat or Cuddlefish Bucket Hat)
• Sunscreen (Cancer Council 30+)
• Sun shelter / beach umbrella
• Long sleeved UV tee (like Cuddlefish navy striped L’s tee)
• Beach bag like Marc by Marc Jacobs tote

I’ve recently bought a new beach bag & have pre-packed all our goodies for the beach so that when the sun shines, we are out the door!

I’ve got the whole routine of getting out the door organised, and apart from grabbing some beach toys & food, these are some essentials packed in our bag.

Copy This & That

Mama wears French Connection Bomb Cotton Ruffle Shirt. Bubba wears new Alex and Ant white summer set featuring top and bloomers. Love the ruffle detailed sleeves!

Long Weekend Style

This weekend Kristy & I was in the most comfortable & warm casual outfits - grocery shopping, lounging around, running around with the kids and baking THAT cake.

What's your casual weekend style like?

Kristy was very Reese Witherspoon like wearing grey wool turtleneck by Country Road + denim jeans + converse. I was wearing my latest Bonds Boyfit pants + adidas hoodie + black boots. I just wanted to be super warm!

For more women's fashion style check out Style Milk - Jen and her fans share what they are wearing each week.

Lets Play Croquet

A croquet leisurely get together will be fabulous with a bunch of girlfriends - get preppy (as if you are part of a pony or boat club). Bring out your polo tees and tailored shorts! Sip on lemonade (or ginger limeade) and snack on sweet treats. Make it your own outdoor high tea event.

Project Brown Cardigan

Isn't always the case that when you are looking for something, you'll never find it but when your not its everywhere?! This is the case for Miss Kristy (mother of 2 little ones with little time to search and shop) who has been looking for 'the' brown cardigan to go with her new spunky brown boots. I have searched high and low for them Witchery, Country Road, Esprit, Sportscraft, Saba, Kookai, David Laurence, Jag, Dejcuba, Cooper St, Wish, Seduce, Oxford, Marcs, Cue and even our beloved Shopbop (have I missed anything?) There is cream, black, purple, grey, coral, pink and navy but no brown this season! Searching online for brown taupe, chocolate, mocha and even mushroom but no magical results.

If you have spotted a nice brown cardigan - leave a message!

Another Celebrity Spotted with Aden + Anais

Gorgeous Heidi Klum model mum of 3 has been spotted with Aden + Anais - US celebrities seem to love them but that's not just the reason Chic Mother and Baby loves aden + anais 100% organic cotton muslin baby wraps.

If you are not familiar with muslin, you may wonder what makes them great. They are so soft, light and breathable. With a generous 47" x 47" (thats about 120cm) size, aden + anais organic wraps are big enough for a toddler or adult to cuddle up with.

I also take one shopping, and drape it over my pram when the little one is napping. The added dash of style makes me feel a little more chic too.

Mums can get creative with them - use your aden + anais wrap as a light weight blanket, swaddling blanket, stroller cover, nursing cover, burp cloth, and more...
