An Introduction to Cherry Crumble

Over the years I have been immersed in the world of boys clothes while keeping up to date with the latest trends for my two growing lads to wear. Whether its running round the garden or going out in their best party gear, the birthdays are getting bigger and the fashion interest is definitely growing.

When Cherry Crumble asked me if I would like to have a look at their range and review a favourite piece I was delighted. My boys at 9 and 12 are now very aware of their fashion tastes and love new clothes. Most of you know my youngest son G who is now growing taller by the second and blossoming into his fashion sense, taking the lead from his big brother. It’s great how he can go from being the football mad muddy boy into style king!

Cherry Crumble California ranges come in sizes to fit and suit newborns to 12 year olds. Drawing inspiration from sunny California the designers are committed to producing clothes which shine out with style and are super comfortable for our little one to enjoy wearing.

After spending a long time, even for a nine-year old I was surprised at how interested G was in looking through the designs he liked. The range of soft organic cotton t-shirts were popping out of the page with their different colour choices and caught our eye for a long time.

However, as you can see from the pictures, he had his heart firmly set on this yellow and blue check, reversible jacket. The fur side is so soft you just want to snuggle up in it. The collar stands up slightly and keeps the back of the neck warm. The jacket is a slim fit and as G is tall for his age I went for a size up so it fits great and keeps that all important bit of growing room too.

How To Ensure You Don’t Wear The Same Dress As Someone Else At The Prom

For the young fashion-conscious girl who is about to attend the prom, there is always a chance that she chooses exactly the same outfit as another prom goer. This nightmare scenario is at the back of every girl’s mind as she browses prom dresses, and with that in mind, here are some useful tips to ensure that you do not have to endure the awful embarrassment that comes with a twin outfit on the night of the prom.

Create a Closed Group on Facebook – Why not make the best use of technology in your quest to wear a unique prom dress? Then you can invite all of the other girls who are attending to post images of their chosen outfits, which will ensure that you are all wearing something unique. It is always worth remembering that the other girls are also worried about another selecting the same dress. With everyone posting a photo of their chosen outfit, all will be well on prom night.

Buy Your Prom Dress Online – If you go to the local stores, there’s a high chance that some of the other attendees will also shop there and by searching online for a prom dress supplier, you are really narrowing down the odds of a double dress. If you want to look sophisticated in 2019 red prom dresses which are expected to be popular. If you make sure you don’t pass on the URL of your dress supplier, there’s next to no chance of a replica. Buying online is usually less expensive than buying from a traditional dress store, as they do not have the high overheads of a bricks and mortar retailer.

Choose Something Unusual – If you are the self-confident sort, why not throw caution to the wind and choose a dress that is unusual? If nothing else, this will virtually guarantee that your outfit is unique. Also, you can add some colour to the outfit with some stylish accessories, making sure that your outfit stands out for all the right reasons. Once you have made up your mind and purchased your prom dress, keep it a secret, which will ensure that no other girl knows.

Do Some Research – If you wait until the last few days, most of the other girls will have purchased their prom dress and there’s no reason why you can’t ask them about this. In the event there is one who has gone for the same dress, you will have to select something different, although it is highly unlikely if you buy from an online prom dress supplier. If you would like to know the history behind the prom, there are informative articles that will enlighten you.

While this might be every girl’s worst nightmare, by following the above advice, it is highly unlikely that anyone would be wearing the same dress as you. Should the very worst happen and you are wearing the same dress as another girl, laugh it off and put on a brave face, after all, it isn’t the end of the world!

Need help with making sure the dress is perfectly looked after? Look here to see how to make that happen.

5 Hot Summer Accessories

Here we are again, Summertime is once again shining down on us. So what else could I do but share my 5 Hot Summer Accessories with you.

Summer Music

1. Now my first gem on the list is a song and oh boy what a summer song this is. Can it be an accessory I hear you cry, oh yes! This will be with you throughout the summer and beyond. Before you do anything else, put this on full volume and enjoy, this is a treat for you.

Sunglasses

2. Second up is sunglasses, for me they are like handbags and shoes, you can never have too many.

So far I have bought 2 pairs to kick me off into the dazzling sunshine. I will now live in them. My top tip is to get ones with moulded nose rests instead of the ones with the little bit of plastic. I’ve got long hair and I find that they can catch in my hair if I’ve had them sitting on top of my head acting as a hair band. When I try to put them back on it can produce a couple of seconds of tugging at my caught hair, not a super classy summer look!

I’m loving mirror glasses this year, here are mine, not with moulded nose rests but beauties and I just have to be careful and suffer for fashion:)

Wedge Sandals

3. Wedge Shoes are something I must have in summer. Each year I start looking around to see which stores are going to get them in the shelves first. A maxi dress and wedges are a summer evenings perfect outfit. I have also seen over on the lifestyle blogger uk about skin care ideas for the summer so that we don’t miss out on pampering our skin too.

Oversized Beach Bags

4. As a mum I cannot applaud the oversized beach bags enough. I love to have a bag that holds the lot. A beach bag was on my birthday list this year and the boys along with my OH presented me with an amazing bag that I’m thrilled with. I don’t want to still have phone, keys and purse in one hand a towel over my shoulder with the kids holding a carrier bag between them! Oh I’ve done it in the past but now the beach bag can take over and take control! I took the bag on holiday to Alcudia this year which you can see in Fun and Fabulous Food in Alcudia.

Maxi Dress

5. I couldn’t have a summer post without the maxi dress and it’s still a must have summer item. I find it the most forgiving of dresses around. Lumps and bumps disappear – fact! If you’re brave you go for the no straps elastic version around the bust. I say brave because with two young boys, trying to get everything sorted and responding to all sorts of mummy jobs I’m not prepared to take the risk! So, for me it’s thin straps for maximum tan factor. For the days it’s cool and practical and jazzed up for the evening with wedges, bangles and a floaty scarf, you will look a dream.
