Playsuits are for playschool.

So you probably wouldn't put your child in this leopard print playsuit from Alice & Olivia, nor would you allow her to pair it with mini combats.

REGARDLESS, this is still a more appropriate sight than the one I saw this weekend, which was a WOMAN. Wearing a PLAYSUIT. At a WEDDING.

And this wasn't some girl called "Pixie" wearing a little floral number to, say, Pete Doherty's wedding. This was a formal wedding, and clearly a formal lady, trying to pull off a "formal" black velvet playsuit in lieu of a dress.

This makes me sound old, but the world has clearly gone mad. Why would you want to wear something that requires you to get completely naked every time you have to take a leak?

Parisian children are more chic than you.

Alice a Paris, clothes for newborn babies through aged 10. Surprisingly affordable if you buy online!

Expensive but inspiring.

As with most of these super-hip outlet websites, I can't afford a single thing from Totokaelo.

But I can look, and admire, and take note.

The boys are back.

Myself and my husband are back from six weeks of bumming around Western Europe. We ate a lot of jamon and Nicoise salads, took lots of trains and boats of varying levels of comfort, read several novels, and played a very entertaining game of pictionary (whilst in Paris, when we were sans internet and television.)

I also saw some of the chic-est people I've ever come across. Most of them in Andy Wahloo in the Marais in Paris, which I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to step into a real-life Sofia Coppola film.

Photos and brand-new wish-lists to follow.
