Review Round-Up: February fashion

Review Round-Up: February fashion

reviewsHello, and welcome to another Britmums review round-up! Hasn’t the weather just been so miserable lately? I hope you’ve all managed to stay safe and dry. To cheer up the grey days, I have compiled a collection of rather fabulous fashion reviews this month – enjoy!

One thing we are definitely in need of at this time of year is some winter boots. I am absolutely loving these black Chelsea boots from Clarks, reviewed by Wild and Grizzly – they are the sort of boots you could wear with pretty much anything – keeping your feet stylish and cosy at the same time. I also really, REALLY love these Cloggs boots that Mum in a Nutshell is modelling – the bright, vibrant colour is perfect for this time of year.

For the really wet days, a good pair of wellies is a wardrobe essential. I love these Aigle boots over on the The London Mum blog – not only do they look incredibly practical, but the fact that they make matching boots for parents and kids is a total winner for me – too cute!

As well as decent, weathertight boots, you will also need a waterproof coat if this weather continues! Cookies and Cwtches has been reviewing a Target Dry quilted coat which I love the look of – it looks as snuggly as a sleeping bag and I really like the fact it has some pretty feminine touches too – coats don’t have to be boring!

Something that always excited me is finding a brand new store to search for clothing inspiration – and Parenthood Highs and Lows has introduced me to Pink Clove. I love the selection of casual and dressy wear, and the fact that there is something to suit every style and shape.

I don’t know about you, but I really struggle to buy comfortable and classic clothing for the man in my life. Keep up with the Jones Family has a great review of the Salt Rock fleece zipped hoodie, which I am loving – it looks so practical for family days! They also have a fantastic range of womens and kids clothing – doesn’t that knitted cardigan look the bees knees?!

For anyone who is struggling to find gorgeous maternity wear, I would definitely recommend checking out the Tiffany Rose website. Hannah from Budding Smiles has been wearing their Rosa maternity dress and I love the way it looks – classic, flattering and perfect for any occasion! For those of you who are breastfeeding, check out the Milk and Mummy breastfeeding dress over at Life with Baby Kicks – ideal for discreet and easy feeding, while keeping you looking fabulous!

An outfit can be changed up so much with the right accessories, and I love this Outdoor and Country Fedora hat, reviewed by Pouting in Heels. I have never really taken the plunge hat wise, apart from a wooly number in winter, but this one looks so funky I might be tempted to branch out!

Californian Mum in London has been sharing her monochrome style which seems to be a huge trend at the moment – everywhere you look there is black and white! It’s such a simple but effective look, and one that I think will be around for a long time – so now is a great time to invest in a few key pieces.

If you have a budding dancer in the family you may be on the lookout for leotards and dancing shoes. Days in Bed has this covered with her review of a super pretty purple leotard and dance shoes. Ballet is a great exercise for both kids and adults, so if you are feeling a bit sluggish at the moment, maybe you could give it a go!

Let’s not forget the small people – they need kitting out too! I love this winter warmers review from Mrs Shilts – I am definitely going to invest in the fairisle sweater and fleecey pyjamas for my boys – they look super cosy and comfortable and would be ideal for winter dog walks and cosy film nights. For the little girls, I really love this Frugi Isla cord dress – it is my favourite outfit to pop on Eliza, and the long sleeves and soft, warm cord make it perfect for this changeable weather.

Finally, if you are lucky enough to be heading off on a winter break soon, you should check out this Muddy Puddles review from The Mummy Adventure. Gorgeous yet practical ski and snow wear that will have your little ones set for the slopes in no time!

That’s it from me this month. I hope you all enjoy the rest of February, and keep your fingers crossed that spring starts to show its face soon! I will be back next month with another review round-up, so please do give me a shout if you have a post that you would like me to consider.
