The lovely mac from Mini Mode which did gave many years of service through snow 'n' wind 'n' rain. |
Last week my eldest and I went to London. She came with me whilst I went on my appointments, aka going to get my hair done at John Freida and meeting up with the totally fabulous perfumier Roja Dove at the reading rooms in Claridges (ha! you thought my life was all making bread in Suffolk, wrong, wrong, wrong!). Because we then decided, quite ad hoc, to stay the night in London I decided to go shopping with her for school shoes at Johnny Lou Lou's. As we were leaving there I spied Next.
Now, lots of my friends seem to find nice children's clothes in Next. I never do. But that's mostly cos I don't really look and I don't order from the catalogue because last time I did they opened a credit account for me and started sending me scary statements that made me fearful and it took me ages to cancel it.
Anyway. I thought I'd give it a go by actually going in there and looking around properly. And I found what I think is a great little mac/trenchcoat for girls. It's camel coloured (so, like, bang on trend for this season if you care about such things, which I really do not), has little details like slightly puffed sleeves and a dotty lining. It's really cute, and looks well made and isn't too expensive.
It's 100% cotton and is billed as 'shower proof' and is of course washable at 40 degrees.
"Stone Trench Coat for girls" by Next, in sizes to fit ages 3-16 and costs from £21-£27. |

Thats v sweet! We have had one for the last few years from M&S - very similar to the first pic and so far they have released every year in slightly different colours. Will check out the next one now too.
Does M&S? I didn't know that. Let me have a link if you find it. I do love that flowery mac.
