There are a lot of very relaxed people, here at Frugi today. Big smiles all round, as Fiona Lockhart has popped in to give everyone a massage. All of our aches and pains have disappeared although Lucy says that she still has a pain in the neck – I don’t know what she means! Here’s [...]
After spending the first three months of his life in rompers and dungarees, I tried to put my sixteen week old son in his first pair of trousers (not from Frugi) three weeks ago. What a performance! We spent the day with tears at every nappy change as I tried to squeeze his cloth nappied [...]
I find it hard to be critical of Frugi clothes, but the honest truth is that when I first saw the Bloomin’ Lovely Dungarees, I wasn’t very taken with them. I found the lilac colour off-putting… too sickly sweet for my taste. And there are several design details that in combination I felt were rather [...]
There’s something about this season’s collection that makes me all wistful and nostalgic, nowhere more so than with this wonderfully original Crabber T-Shirt. The design pays homage to the fishing expeditions of our fondest imagination: wading through reedy rivers with jam jar for minnows in hand, or slithering over seaweed-draped rocks, net ready for starfish, [...]
I’m a big fan of long-sleeved simply styled envelope tops and dress Harry in them as often as I can. I really love the look of envelope necks and they are so easy to get on and off. This is one of the common styles of children’s clothes that I wish could be found more [...]
I must admit that I’m not a pink person. I avoid dressing Lucia in pink on principle, but since the Patsy Prawn Top arrived it has been worn straight from the airer each time and hasn’t yet made it to the cupboard. This is partly because it looks so good with the Bo-Peep Roll-ups, which [...]
The first thing that struck me about the Dotty Spotty Romper (after the purple spots – I love purple spots) was the quality of the appliqué. Lovely, durable, brightly coloured flower patches with embroidered overstitch in beautiful complimentary colours. Then we put it to use and I fell in love even more. By far the [...]
Although I am totally convinced that breastfeeding has many benefits, I found it much more difficult than I had anticipated first time around. Harry was slow to put on weight and seemed to need feeding non-stop throughout the night. It also took me a while to feel comfortable feeding him in certain public places. There [...]
These Rascal Roll-Up Trousers follow a classic Frugi design, with an elasticated waistband and stitched in drawstring, and button-up roll bottoms. Although, at first sight, the 18-24 month size looked like they would take some growing into by my 20-month old, slim build but pot-bellied rascal, appearances can be deceptive. In fact they are a [...]
I know the appeal for most people of kimono-style clothing for little ones is that you don’t have to pull it over the baby’s head. For me, this definitely would’ve been the case 6 months ago, but now it actually seems to make it harder to get things on my 8 month old – she [...]
