POUT OF APPROVAL: THE PRINCESS & THE FROCK

ONE of the most wonderful things about being a mum to a baby girl, is the opportunity to dress her up in all manner of pretty things. And I make absolutely no apologies for this. I love pretty things and I love my little girl, so it goes without saying that I want her to look wonderful. In a few years, if she wants to hang out in scruffy jeans

STYLE (Interior): A little peek inside Elsie’s nursery…

I can’t tell you how proud I am of Elsie’s nursery. After moving house when Elsie was just seven weeks old, we didn’t manage to get her nursery finished until a few months ago. Needless to say it was frustrating at times, however, like with all good things, it was well worth the wait! Elsie’s room – like all of the rooms in our beautiful but neglected old home –

FRIDAY FIVE: What NOT to do when you’re a new mum…(from a new mum, 11 months on)

MOTHERHOOD is a bundle of shoulds. You should be doing this. Your baby should be doing that. After being a mum for a whopping 11 months now (I can’t quite believe my little girl turns one in a few weeks!)

FRIDAY FIVE: A Cornish holiday…

JUST a few weeks ago I was sat on a beach in beautiful Cornwall, listening to the waves and thinking, this is the life. Our little break definitely did us all the world of good and weather wise, well folks, we got pretty lucky. Not quite Carribean temperatures but perfectly pleasant indeed. For Elsie it was a week of firsts – her first touch of sand, her first ‘swim’ in

FRIDAY FIVE: Why Elsie and I love children’s books by Giles Paley-Phillips

AS a HUGE book fan (I will NEVER own a kindle) it’s perhaps no surprise to learn that I’m passionate about getting my little Elsie interested in books. Admittedly, she is very young still, however I’m already introducing her to all kinds of books from soft ones to squeaky ones, ‘baby’ ones to more grown up children’s ones. Two children’s books that have become firm favourites with Elsie (and myself)

Pouting In Heels is named as a top baby blog!…

SOMETIMES when I occasionally lose my blogging mojo, I wonder why I am spending so much time beavering away, when I could be sat with my feet up relaxing. And the incredible thing, is that, usually, just when I’m feeling especially fed up, something amazing happens and my blogging joy returns. Something, just like this. Yes folks, I’m not going to deny that I’m as pleased as punch to tell

LIFE: The christening of Elsie Florence

IT’S rare that I post family images but Elsie’s christening was such a special day, that I’ve made an unusual exception to the rule. Here are some of my favourite images taken from Elsie’s big day. I hope you’ll all get a sense of what a magical day it was in our lives. It certainly was a day to remember! Dress: Elsie wore an antique ivory christening gown with tambour lace
