Trendy Tuesday - Daisychain Baby

I'm sorry the blog has been so quiet.  We've all been ill, one virus/cold after another (we're still ill now!).  We had half term last week and we were ill all the way through that! Anyway, I'm trying to get back on track.

It's Tuesday today so of course that means some children's fashion.  I was contacted recently by a very lovely lady, Lins, who runs an online children's clothing store, DaisychainBaby, with a focus on organic and eco friendly materials.  She stocks some of my favourite brands such as Little Green Radicals and Slugs & Snails  so when Lins asked me if I'd like to review her site and some clothing, I jumped at the chance!

I chose one item for each of my boys - lucky things!!  It was really REALLY tough making a decision.  I fell in love with these fabulous shoes made by Poco Nido:

In the end though, I decided to go for a beautiful funky playsuit by Little Green Radicals.  The print just got to me, I NEEDED it in our lives.

For Ethan, I plumped for something a bit different.  He has heaps of jeans/leggings/trousers/t shirts/tops in his wardrobe, but he hasn't had any dungaree/jumpsuit type pieces.  I love a retro look and I adore mustard.  This gorgeous number has it all going on!! A beautiful retro inspired velour jumpsuit from Nosh Organics.

I found the Daisychain Baby site really easy to use.  I'm not just saying that because I feel I have to.  I do A LOT of online shopping, especially for children's clothing, and some of the sites I use, I do because they have great prices and brands, however, it's a slog using them.  This site not only has competitive prices but it really is easy to use.  You can shop by brand, but also by age which I thought was very handy.  After all, there's nothing worse than finding out the top you've just fallen in love with isn't available in the size you need.  Filter and shop by age first and then you know straight away what's available!

Lins is really easy to contact and she asked several times that if I needed help with measurements etc just to let her know.  Very useful!

Our items arrived beautifully packaged and with a hand written thank you card.  Such a beautiful touch - it really felt like a personal service!


Unfortunately, Ethan isn't quite tall enough for his jumpsuit yet, so I can't show you a picture of him wearing it, but I can say that it is fantastic quality and I know he is going to love it.  So soft and easy to wear.  I have every confidence it will last and wash well so that Felix will also enjoy it one day.

The Cats & Dogs print playsuit is brilliant.  Felix has worn it loads and every time he does people comment on it.  The print is bold, I adore it.  I got 6-9 months because I use reusable nappies on Felix so it's an advantage to have a bit of extra space in clothes.  The fit is great and it should last him a while.  I've washed it three times so far and it still looks as good as new.  It's one of my favourite items to put Felix in.

A #FlatFelix wearing the playsuit - for some reason I don't have a pic of him wearing it!!!

Would I recommend DaisychainBaby to friends and readers?  Yes, hands down.  Great service & prices, easy to use, not overwhelming, quick postage, packages beautifully carefully packaged.

  2. What lovely outfits! I do love your boys' individual styles! Sadly their clothes don't go up big enough for my kids.
