Auntie Buys: Matching Outfit From Next

Whenever I go into town I always pop into Next to have a look but not for me, for the girls. I think Next is probably the best shop for children clothes and they actually have both sizes for the girls so they can match. Few weeks ago I was in Windsor and they had this lovely top and leggings for the girls in both of their sizes and the prices are not that bad either.

Watercolour Elephant T-Shirt - £6
I love the quality of this t-shirt which is so soft. I love the sequins aswel it makes a normal t-shirt look more interesting. Perfect length for Ava but bit long on Bella but that is because she is a petite 9 months old baby girl.

Navy Leggings - £2.50/£3.50
To go with the t-shirt I got Navy Leggings which have a crochet lace detail at the hems. They also both have a black pair of these leggings as for the price they are amazing quality. I thought Navy looks bit more interesting than a black pair and thought Navy could go with pretty much most tops.

What I love most about these clothes from Next is that they are in the offer which is 1 for £6, 2 for £10 and 3 for £15 which I think is amazing offer. Not every leggings/tops are in this offer but there are a lot to choose from and I have gotten 3 outfits in this deal so far and will defiantly buy more for the girls. I get Ava 3-4 years old and she is 4 years old in December and it fits perfectly so I may start getting 4-5 years old for her next year and for Bella I got 6-9 months which are abit too big for her but I got her that so she is in the clothes abit more longer than if I would of got her 3-6 months. Bella is now 9 months old and is a very small baby for her age and is still in 3-6 months old clothing but then again it depends on what shops as no shops actually are the same size. In H&M I get Bella 4-6 months which is big and Ava 2-4 years which fits so it is defiantly a hit and miss with shops.

Has any of you guys got this t-shirt or any clothes from Next? What do you think of the price and quality? Let me know :)

Auntie Buys: Ava's Primark Haul

The other day I was in Primark and picked up a few bits for Ava. I didn't see anything nice for Bella and to be honest I am not a huge fan of Primark for baby clothes/sizes. I don't like buying for one and not the other but I wasn't going to just pick up something for the sake of it. Sizes are hard to tell in Primark even for ladies clothes so its abit of a guess and defiantly depends on the item itself. I got either 3/4 years or 4/5 years old... So here is what I got for my beautiful Niece Ava Lily..

Minions Pink Top/4 to 5 years old - £4
I'm not a huge fan of character tops to be honest but I had to pick this up for Ava as she loves Minions lately and they had other minions tops but this one was the best out of them all.

L O V E WHITE T SHIRT/4 to 5 years - £1.20
I saw that their basic logo t shirts where reduce to £1.20 I had a look and stupidly there was only two in Ava's Size. I loved this one though as it can be worn with a pair of skinny jeans and converses and that an easy outfit to put on.

MINT J'ADORE PARIS DOG T SHIRTS/4 to 5 years old - £1.20
This one is my fave! It looks more green on picture but it's a really nice Mint and I love the French vibe going on. If you ask Beth or my Mother, they would agree when I say I am obsessed with French themed items and even gone far as buying Bella a Eiffel Tower Bodysuit few months ago haha.

TWO BEACH THEMED NIGHTDRESSES/3 to 4 years old - £5

I saw these for £5 for both which I thought was a good price to be honest as they can be quite pricey. The white one has sandcastles shells lollipops dogs beach balls all over it which I thought was cute. The other one is a hot pink colour with a girl holding an kite. Ava wears nightdresses well and prefers them to normal pj's. I got her a Cinderella and a Frozen Elsa one recently and she gets so much wear out of them.

 

DOC MCSTUFFINS KNICKERS/3 to 4 years old - £3.50

Ava has gotten into Doc McStuffins lately which has meant every single Doc McStuffins item I see I have to purchased!! Sorry Beth and Tommy hahah!!! I'm sure Ava doesn't need anymore knickers, infact I know she doesn't as I did purchased her loads over the past month hahaha but still Ava will love these.

 

 

So that is what I got for Ava. As I said before, I think Primark have got abit meh with their kids/babies clothing lately but sometimes they have a few good bits. I did get some stuff for myself which I didn't even think of doing an blog haul so maybe next time I shall do a haul for myself?

Auntie Buys: Doc McStuffins Dress Up

Doc Mcstuffins Dress Up Set - £19.99

Last Thursday, I went to Essex for the weekend and we all had the best time ever. I treated the girls and Beth as I don't see them often. On Saturday went we went to Smyths and Ava picked up this Doc Mcstuffins dress up set and she wanted to wear it soon as we got home. On Sunday she woken up and first words she said to me was "I want to be Doc McStuffins today not Ava Price" this was at 7am haha. So she had her breakfast and then got dressed into Doc with new jeggings from Asda I got her the previous day. Bethany done Ava's hair like Doc McStuffins aswel as which I forgot to take a picture of. We had to refer her to Doc not Ava and she insisted on wearing this out for the day.

At first she picked up the cheaper dress up set which was £16.99 but that didn't had any accessories with it and was more of a fleece thin material so for the extra £3 I thought this one was better quality. The accessories with it are proper which I prefer as they won't break easy like the other thin cheap ones do.


I love how Ava is now getting into Doc because there is only so much frozen and peppa pig stuff you can get them haha!! This means for her Birthday and Christmas, we can buy some Doc McStuffins items and dress up costumes ect. Seeing Ava play dress up and pretending to be a Doctor is so adorable. She gets proper into the act and it just makes me realise how grown up she is getting. I'm really enjoying this "Auntie Buys" blog posts as I love buying for the girls and sharing with you all. I have some coming up which include the items I brought for the girls over the weekend in Essex. Just got to write them and fingers crossed my back will allow me to write a few tomorrow.

Aunties Buys: H&M Sale

H&M is becoming my favorite shops to buy the girls clothes from. Not only is the price good but the quality of the clothes are lovely. My local H&M is in Windsor and it is a nice medium sized one and there is always a sale area in the children/babies department. Even if there isn't anything in the sales, their clothes are still amazing price. I have gotten alot of summer dresses, tops and leggings from here for the girls this summer and I do prefer it from Primark and Asda. I think H&M do basic stuff well and also do some lovely patterns. The only problem is that they do don't any matching items in both of the girls sizes which is abit annoying as I do love to buy them matching clothes. For Bella I get her 4 months to 6 months in dresses/tops or 3/6 months and for Ava I get 4 years to 6 years size. If I see something in the sale that is a bigger size, I might buy and save it til the girls eventually fit in that size. 

Light Grey Cardigan was £3 from £5.99 and I thought this colour is unusual and an essential item. I got 4-6months, but I think it might be abit too big for Bella as she is a tiny petite baby for her age. I thought even if it is big for Bella now, it will fit her in few weeks/month time which will be when the weather gets colder so this is a well needed item.   

T'res Cool Baby - Now I can't find this online so I'm guessing they have sold out. This little bargain was £3 from £14.99, which is amazing. It has a baby suit thingie underneath so this will be such a cute outfit. As before I got 4-6months and this one does seems like it should fit. 

Leopard Print Trainers - Online these say they are £5 from £7.99 but I got these for £4 which I thought were are bloody bargain. Not something I would pick up for Ava to be honest but they don't have any laces to do up, instead it has a Velcro tab to do the trainer up. Ave is very independent and tries to do everything herself so I thought these trainers were a good idea for her as she will be able to put these on herself. Now I'm not sure Tommy will like these as he is a very fussy person when it comes to what his girls wear haha!! I can just see Ava in skinny jeans, a cool t shirt and these and her sunglasses, she will look beautiful. 


That is my mini H&M sale items I picked up. I also got a top for myself which was also in the sale. They had alot of good sale items at the mo, So I would recommend going to your local H&M store or going online but I have heard alot that the delivery  takes forever but it might of changed. Have any of you gotten any sale items from H&M? I personally will be getting some autumn/winter clothes when it comes out and I do like their clothes for my nieces and myself.

Auntie Buys : Bella's Clothes From Asda

So yesterday I went to Asda in High Wycombe, which was the first time I have been there and I wasn't impressed to be honest. I usually go to Asda in Slough but we thought we would try another location but I will be not returning to High Wycombe. I didn't really like the layout of the clothing and also the sales clothes were all over the place. I got a few clothes for Bella Mai and usually will always buy Ava Lily aswel but there was nothing there in the sale for her size but even the normal clothes there wasn't anything in her size. Bella Mai is a size 3 to 6 months even though she is 7 months old,she is a petite tiny beautiful baby. 

Loves Cuddles T-Shirt & Shorts Set - When I saw this, I knew I had to buy it. Bella Mai is a mummy girl and I have found there is more "Daddy" on clothing than "Mummy". This was only £4 which I thought was amazing price as it is an outfit. 

Mint & Pink Dresses - These two dresses were in the sale bit and were only £4. The Mint one is plain and the Pink one has a bow in the middle and little heart detail on the top. I thought the Mint was an colour that you don't really see around in babies clothes. 

Pale Pink Dress - I couldn't find the exact dress on the Asda website but I found one that was kind of similar. This was £2 in the sale and it's just a basic dress but it felt really soft.

Floral Romper & Matching Hat - Now this is my favorite. This was in the section on new items and I sent Bethany a picture of this. As I said before, you don't find much "Mummy" clothes which are actually nice so I put this in my trolley straight away. I love the colours, the little stars over it and also a matching hat, how bloody adorable!! For £6 I thought was amazing price. 


When Beth was pregnant with Bella, I brought alot of clothes from Asda as at the time they had adorable clothes. I found that this year there choice of clothes ain't as good as last year. I was gutted I couldn't find anything for Ava as I think Asda is one of the best high street store for Clothes if you're on a budget. Lately I have been loving H&M for Bella and Ava clothes and even for myself. The nearest Asda to me is Slough and now I can't get out much because of my Chronic illnesses so H&M is becoming easier as it is in Windsor town. Do any of you shop at Asda or anywhere else that is similar price?

Auntie Buys : Matching Blue Dresses

Buying clothes is always an exciting thing but when it is for babies and kids it is even more exciting. There are so many cute clothes out there and I could easily get into debt buying the whole store haha. One thing I came across recently is how not much stores have matching clothes for Ava and Bella size and if they have got same sizes, usually they are too expensive or not nice pattern ect. With Ava being a typical 3/4 years old for her 3 year old self but with Bella being really tiny for her 7 months self usually it's impossible or hard to find matching clothes in her size and Ava's. Lately I have been getting her 6 to 9 months but she still in 3 to 6 months. As always it does depend on the store itself, some clothes come up smaller and some come up bigger. 

The other week I was in Boots doing me make up shopping and I saw in the end of the shop that the kids clothes had a sale so of I went to have a look. To be honest there wasn't anything good in the sale and without sounding horrible, I find some of their tops/dresses are abit OTT with their patterns if that make sense. Beth and Tommy dress Bella and Ava in such nice clothes and you just get to know their sort of clothing that suits them if that makes sense so now I have got to know what Beth/Tommy would like. Back to Boots... So I was looking thru the sale area and didn't see anything nice then at the corner of my eye I saw this Blue Dress with Spots and Stripes and I loved the colour. I know Navy suits Bella but this colour blue was an unusual colour that you don't really see around spesh in dresses. I instantly went to pick up the 3 to 4 years old size not even thinking to look at Bella size and then my Mother saw they have 6 to 9 months and I was like OMG I need to get these haha!! I actually got Ava a size 4 to 5 years as the 3/4 years looked tiny so the clothes must come up smaller in Boots as usually a 6/9 months dress wouldn't of fitted Bella. They were £8 each and annoyingly have gone down to £4 HERE in the sale but I do think they are worth the original price as the quality is good. I sent down these dresses in the post as I do love sending them little parcels as I don't see them alot. Also you can't see Ava shoes in this picture but she has on White Converses I brought her not long ago from Very. They are the new All White ones which are so cute and Ava loves her Converses. Bella also has on shoes I got her last week from TK MAXX which were only £3.99 ad came in a little box.

So now Ava and Bella have matching dresses, me and Beth have many matching items so now we need matching dresses for me, Beth and the girls haha.. I wonder if that actually exists? LOL. Also if any of you reading this know of any high street stores or websites that do matching clothes in size 3/6 months and 3/4 years old please comment below or Tweet us HERE as I'd love to find some more matching items for my Nieces.

Auntie Buys : Aunties Little Princess Bib

So this is my second of my new series of "Auntie Buys" and the first one is HERE. It is just abit of fun and I rather enjoy buying my Nieces lots of gifts so I thought I would share. This one is something which is more of a sentimental rather than a "serious" gift but when I saw it I just had to purchased. It is this amazing Bib that says "Auntie's Little Princess" and doesn't she look so bloody adorable wearing it. 

I got this from eBay aka my favorite online shop.. This was a bidding item so I can't actually remember how much I paid but it was no more than £5. Here is the link to the Bib.

Bella Mai is my little princess. She is such a happy smiley laid back beautiful baby. Back to the Bib, it is actually good quality as usually novelty gifts like this are usually not that good in quality but this is good for the price. Have anyone else brought anything similar? I am tempted to buy Bella an Vest saying " I love my auntie Katie" from eBay haha.

Auntie Buys : Daddy's Little Helper

I thought I would start this little series called "Auntie Buys". As a Auntie of two beautiful girls I love nothing more than buying them stuff and treating them. They are not spoiled and Ava always says thank you and is so appreciated whenever she gets gifts. As I don't live near them, I do buy stuff if I go out and see something I know they will like so when I go to Essex it may seem like I have brought them loads but stuff does build up over time. Beth & Tommy are always thankful and I will mostly ask Beth before purchasing whether the girls need/want or would like so the stuff I get is never wasted and I always try to buy stuff that they actually need and I like to help Tommy and Beth out so I do ask every month if there is anything that they are going to buy so that I can either get it for them or put money towards. I do have abit of a problem with buying Converses and Cath Kidston for myself and the girls but that another post!

So the first item of this little series is a "Hi Vis Kids Helper Vest"  which I brought HERE for £3.79. This was a little jokey gift which I knew Ava would love because Tommy is a Plumber and Ava loves helping him around the house at weekends. 

I do love buying little things like this that to us adults don't think are much special but kids love. Ava put this on straight away and loves it. So here is my first "Auntie Buys" post and I shall be doing much more of these because I'm slightly obsessed haha. I cannot wait for Bella to walk so I can buy her Converses haha!!!
