A few months ago we started to work with Boots Mini Club as brand ambassadors. As clothes lovers, this partnership fitted us perfectly and we’ve really enjoyed showcasing their gorgeous collections over the past few months. Sadly today’s post will be the last in our collaboration.

Ava’s number one love at the moment is this Mini Club Girls Pleated Dress, she literally adores it!  This pretty pink dress is so light and floaty – perfect for summer days. The  white Lace Bomber Jacket is lush. Made from jersey fabric with a lace overlay it’s so girly and a great item to have at this time of year. It gives another layer without too much warmth. The poppers on the front also mean Ava can do it all herself (zips are still a bit tricky!).

We are so excited to be going to Spain on Saturday and although it can’t come soon enough. I am already dreading the packing! I’ve been searching the internet to find ways of ‘hacking’ the packing to make it slightly less arduous a task. I wanted to share a few tips with you in case you, like me, dread trying to pack your entire house into 2 1/2 cases!

How to hack your family packing

  • Write a list well in advance. A list will help you keep on track and will also stop you overpacking. Which I’m totally guilty of!
  • Pack kid’s clothes as complete outfits in zip lock bags. That way you can just grab a bag each morning and don’t have to lose time rifling through the suitcase.
  • Pack disposable toiletries which you can chuck out before the journey home. It might even give you some more space for those holiday bargains!
  • Make sure you create and pack a busy bag or two to keep your child entertained on the journey.
  • Take small snacks and cartons of drinks in your hand luggage – kid’s always get hungry and thirsty in the car so be prepared.
  • Pack a few plastic carrier bags for dirty clothes in case of accidents. You don’t want them mixing with your freshly washed clothes.

This Cream Floral short-sleeved top featuring summery flower sleeves in yellow chiffon is probably my favourite tops ever. It’s so versatile and pretty.

We were also sent this gorgeous 3 Pack Tops, one of my favourites is the Beach Hut one. Although all of the designs are lovely. There’s a pink top, with beach hut appliqué detailing, a blue marl top with a contrasting beach hut frill to the bottom and a white top with a navy stripe with a contrasting beach hut chest pocket.

Ava is so active and I love finding trousers that give her freedom to move, run around and generally be crazy without feeling restricted, as jeans sometimes can. This two pack harem pants are just fab (and they’re just £10 at the moment)- there is a pink and a marl pair and they are so easy to wear. As an extra bonus until 22nd May you can buy two packs of harem trousers for just £16! What a bargain, £4 a pair.
