Cooking method:

Grate you courgette.

Cut you cooked chicken in to a very small cubes (I have just friend the chicken breast in a little bit of olive oil).

Yes it is already this time of the year. I know that you are thinking: it’s still hot, I don’t need to buy it for another couple of months. You are wrong! Remember that fashion world works on average one season in advance, and trust me those beauties won’t be round for long. And with baby getting dirty so quickly and so often you will need more than one … Which is a great news right? 😊

Green parka by H&M (we already own one😊) Beige coat by H&M, Leather jacket by River Island and Pink parka by ZARA 

  
Few more fabulous coats to choose from. Grey coat from Mamas & Papas, Leopard print coat from River Island, Beige coat from NEXT.

DENIM DENIM DENIM !

  

Cool outfit for a baby? Go for DENIM! Denim never goes out of fashion (it doesn’t really matter with babies as they grow out of they clothes so quickly) but very often comes back with a big blue bang!  Now is the time to rock it, especial that as a mum (or dad) you will start slowly to shop for autom clothes or as me for clothes for the next 3 months ( yes I need to start preparing wardrobe in size 9-12 months !!!!!! ) .

There are some amazing pieces :

River Island does a lot of cool denim pieces :

   
In love with this little piece ! Had to get it for Chloe ! 

   ZARA  is doing those dungarees. Pair with any top underneath for the cute little outfit.   
H&M does this dress for £5,99!! You can pair it with a pretty blouse/ top for a cute look or go for cool printed leggings with a edgy top (stripy) for a cool look. And those denims couldn’t be any cuter. 

  

NEXT went with the denim trend as well producing this really cute skirt and blouse (which Chloe owns now 😁)
