MANY HAPPY RETURNS

What to wear on a hot summers day with nothing much to do but be lazy around the house? A white onesie.. what else!? At first I thought this was way too simply, and I tried to pair one of the small man's hats with this onesie, but that just made it all too fussy. I mean who wears a hat indoors anyway...

BLUE MONDAY

I was lucky enough to have the day off yesterday. That means that the little guy and myself could spend the whole day getting all kinds of dirty and change outfits so many times that we eventually settled on this blue ensemble mostly bought from Ackermans - minus the nappy. 

CAN YOU DIG IT?

Yes you can in your awesome red, white and blue, hipster, three quarter pants and a plain white vest my little man! These pants can with an awesome denim shirt, but it's just too hot for long sleeves right now.

OH MICKEY, YOU'RE SO FINE

This was the most perfect weekend! Finally the weather played along so that we could spend the whole day poolside, eating messy fruit and splashing around under cover of SPF60 water-resistant sun-block (gross). And finally the little guy could wear the Mickey Mouse swimsuit I bough for him on sale at Ackermans for the price of a pineapple. There are a few other swimming outfits in the cupboard just waiting to be paraded around, so if the weather stays as awesome as this you'll be seeing loads more soon.

JELOUS DOWN

We can't help that some people (like the boy here) have so many pairs of funky check shorts to sport this summer. Today it's the pair from Zara kids, bought in Hong Kong, with a simple white vest. I do know that by the time I get home today the little guy would be in his third white vest of the day, that why you buy them cheap and plenty!

POOH ON YOUR SHOES

These are the sweetest shoes a little guy can own! Winnie the Pooh, Disney and Adidas all rolled into one pair of fancy footwear for my little man. I have been waiting for him to grow into these and sadly he's almost grown out of them already. At least he thinks of them more like a toy than a fashion statement, so they will be around for a little longer before being tucked away with the rest of the very special clothes I'm saving for a very lucky somebody new.

SMALL PAUL

A great onesie to get up to some monkey business in is this wee number from a land far away... Thank you aunty for the rad outfit, the suspenders, and making the white onesie a little less expected. Sorry for the blurry shot, it's hard to get the monkey to sit still for photos these days.

MCTAVITY CAT...

... is a mysterious cat. He is looking at the birds through the window, wearing his navy onesie on this very hot day, and his check cap to keep the sun out of his eyes.

TARTAN TROUSERS

It's very rare for me to dress the little guy in secondary colors. I think the reason is simply because I don't really like orange or purple, and although I do like some greens, lime green makes me feel ill. I don't even like eating the orange or green sweets in the packet... but these shorts just worked for me when I first saw them. The colors are fresh and cool and summery and not gross like orange sweets or lime anything.

NOT SO MELLOW YELLOW

When I was a little fat kid I went bananas for all things neon! I used to roll layers of neon socks up one over the other, revealing my rainbow neon ankles under my stone-wash denims, and matched these with an abundance on neon bangles on my wrists. Never did I think that one day my own kid would be sporting the neon trend too. Here the little guy's yellow neon striped shirt is accentuated by smears of picnic food including tomatoes, a variety of way too juicy fruit, and some egg.
