Owlfit of the Week

It's Christmas!!!  I've been a bit slow on sharing the old Christmas jumpers and now I realise I have lots to share and little time to do it!  I have a December birthday, so growing up, Christmas didn't start until the day after my birthday, which meant no decorations, Christmas song or clothing for the first two weeks of December... then WHAM straight into the Christmas spirit!

So here's how Little Owl has been going about for the last few days!  The hat was knitted by LittleOwl's Fairy God Mother for her first Christmas, so chuffed that it still fits!

I'm in love with the Snuggle Fleece from Frugi.  All Frugi snuggle fleeces are reversible, with printed cotton on one side, and this lovely snuggly fleece on the other!  Until this week, Little Owl has been wearing this the other way round, but the fluffy white fleece feels very festive!  They are quite expensive at £30 but hard wearing and a generous fit so I'm sure we'll get a lot of wear out of it.  I was lucky to pick this one up in a flash sale that Frugi had about a month ago, I think I got 20% off.

The trousers are from the Little Bird range at Mothercare.  You might have noticed by now that I have a soft patch for cord trousers so couldn't resist these flares from Little Bird for £12.

Finally, Little Owl's beautiful boots from Livie and Luca!  You may remember me debating over whether to get the pink or blue pair a few weeks ago, well I went for the blue.  These will feature loads over the coming weeks, so expect a more detailed review soon, for now, just know that I love them!

Oh - there is one more thing - you might just spot a red bell on Little Owl's boot, it was one of the gifts in her advent calender, and its bit of a tradition of having festive bells on your boots in the Owl household!

I LOVE this pixie hooded coat!  I picked it up at a flea market in Lille (that's a post I really need to write) for €20 and I'm so glad I did!  I wasn't sure of the size as Little Owl wasn't with me, but in the end it came down to the fact it was the only one!  It's quite thick and a snug fit which keeps Little Owl super warm, and I love the off centred zip, and how it matches the tip off the hood.

It just so happens that we have some matching cord trousers!  They are from M&S and I found them on ebay, they featured in one of my first owlfit posts!

Not many of Little Owl's trousers still fit from last winter but luckily these still do!  I love the detailing on them, and the colour just happens to be my favourite!

Owlfit of the Week

 

I'm so excited to be sharing this Owlfit from Little Bird at Mothercare with you!  I've had the skirt for a while now but the rest of the outfit has been surprisingly hard to come by!  I hadn't discovered Little Bird before this season and I so wish I had listened to my friend when she said to nab stuff quick!  

I bought the skirt first, but they didn't have the cardigan in the shop at the time, so I thought I would order on line when the weather got colder... BIG MISTAKE!  I didn't even wait for the weather to get cold and yet they sold out everywhere!  And trust me, I've been looking!  I eventually found this one in the Lakeside store, a mere 70 miles from home, and it's aged 4-5.  Little Owl is 2.  It is baggier than I would like but I've missed out on weeks of potential wearing time already!

The socks - well they really are hard to come by, and if a shop get them in stock, members of the Little Bird group on Facebook buy the lot and then sell them to other members of the group at cost plus postage.  Others sell them on ebay for twice the price.  I am not kidding!

I got these socks from an old school friend who happened to post on Facebook that she was going to a baby group at her local Mothercare.  I cheekily asked her to look and she found them!

So that's the long awaited Little Bird Owlfit.  Having waited so long to get the Owlfit together, I couldn't wait to take the photos, but it was raining... so I tried to take some at my friends house... it wasn't successful and Little Owl wasn't really in the mood when we got home... here are some outtakes!

Love my Little Owl!
