Baby girl H&M and Next haul

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a bit of a shopaholic. Ok, a MAJOR shopaholic. My inclination to shop is not helped by the fact that I am currently on maternity leave, with constant access to my computer, iPad and mobile phone. Now that I have two children, I'm not only addicted to buying things for myself but also for them. Isla is 3 months old and, as anyone with a tiny person knows, they seem to grow out of their clothes so quickly and you seem to be constantly buying new outfits and getting rid of or packaging away old ones. Over the last few weeks, I've been doing an awful lot of sorting out both in preparation for Christmas and creating some space. I've had all the clothes out of wardrobes and cupboards, sorted them out, sold the decent stuff, thrown the rubbish away and had a look at what was left. It turns out, neither of them had a huge amount of clothes that fit them, particularly warmer items they would need for the winter. So I decided to order them quite a few bits and here is what I bought for Isla. I will do a separate blog post on Tommy's things, as there's far too much to put in a single post.


First of all, I bought this outfit for Isla from Next - a gorgeous tartan dress, crochet hat and tights set. The dress and tights come as a set for £13 and the hat was £6.


The rest of the clothes I bought for her were from H&M. I tend to buy outfits in similar colours so that I can mix and match everything. I bought a long-sleeved blouse, corduroy shorts and tights set (£14.99). The t-shirts and blouses are all made of organic cotton and all super soft. The two long-sleeved t-shirts came in a pack of two for £5.99. One is pale pink and the other has a super cute bird, cupcake and bow design.


Up next are a red lace dress that came with a matching red bow hairband (£12.99), a heart fine-knit cardigan (£9.99) and a stripy knitted dress (£9.99).


I loved these red and white long-sleeved tops with frilly detail (£5.99) each. I also purchased some tweed shorts (£5.99) and trousers (£9.99). The shorts will look lovely with some cable-knit tights. The cotton white blouse was £7.99.


My final purchase for Isla was these pack of two long-sleeved t-shirts (£5.99), which, in my opinion, you can never have enough of. Again, these will match with her shorts and trousers. I love H&M baby and children's clothes. They are very reasonably-priced and good quality too. What more could you ask for?
