Summer clothes for children, from Burp! Boutique

We’re off on holiday soon (thanks for all the toddler travel tips). Although we’re only hopping over the channel, I’m optimistically hoping it’ll be positively balmy. So this means Eliza needs more clothes, as her wardrobe is still suited to the temperature of this eternal Game of Thrones-esque winter that we’re having.

I’ve written before about one of our favourite children’s clothing sites – the brilliant Burp! Boutique. I love so much of the summer stock, as there are so many vibrant, colourful clothes that are practical without being boring. So here’s our top picks of outfits for warmer weather…no surprise that stripes feature heavily.

As above, from top left: dress, Boys&Girls / leopard print dress, Oh Baby London / bee dress Oh Baby London / middle left: pink top, Indikidual / flowery top, Oh Baby London / stripy skirt, Boys & Girls / bottom row: mini hawaiian shirt, Oh Baby London / stripy leggings, Oh Baby London (I want a pair for me!) All available here.

Eliza is pretty book obsessed at the moment – we’re going for new daily records on number of recitals of The Tiger Who Came to Tea – so we definitely need new things to read on the long car journeys. There’s lots on the site too, including the classic This is Britain and the holiday edition of Anorak magazine.

And finally, we love this Corby Tindersticks felt world weather map that just looks like an awful lot of fun for everyone (it’s new to the site, and there’s also a UK-specific version for all the mini Micheal Fishes).

Because of course, what holiday would be complete without obsessing over the weather?
