A few weeks ago I interviewed Myleene Klass about her award-winning Baby K range (I don’t know if mentioned it…!) at the relaunch of Mothercare in Team Valley and whilst I was there I picked up a few goodies. I’ve been on high-alert to make sure no one accidentally puts Reuben in any of the clothes before I had chance to do my first Mothercare Haul Vlog! With the help of my beautiful assistant (yes I’m biased but seriously, someone give that kid a modelling contract!), yesterday we got to work.
Mothercare Haul Vlog
Mothercare Haul – Modelled by Reuben
If you ain’t a fan of Vlogs (here’s looking at you, Donna!), these photos are for you. Enjoy (but please be aware that Reuben is in desperate need of a haircut!!).
1. Knitted Cardigan – £17, Baby K
I love this Grandad Cardi – I think it’s just the most versatile piece of kit with it’s fleecy lining. Something to wear when it’s mild outside, or to get cosy with at home. I can see me putting it on Reuben first thing in the morning before the heating has really kicked in. You know, when he should be asleep. Something I did notice about this is that you need to think carefully about what you put on underneath as it’s quite low (it’s definitely on the big side for Reuben!).
2. Mustard Parka – £33, Baby K
I LOVE THIS COAT… so cosy and warm and soft and fluffy and everything I love in coat (it’s very similar to mine! Except much more colourful) but, there’s always a but, it’s a tad long! I said in the Vlog that I might have got him a size down (he’s 27 months and is wearing the 2-3 coat) but actually when I watched him running around in it, it fitted perfectly around the body. So, for toddlers with shorter legs, this is a keeping warm coat not a running about/doing karate kicks in the air coat. Still love it though and how cute is it with the Grandad Cardi?!
My little mod
3. Leather Chelsea Boots – £26, Mothercare
The first time I tried these boots on Reuben he screamed the place down. He has a thing about new shoes though! I think these boots are adorable. Granted £26 is steep (I tend to get his shoes from an outlet for around £15 for Clarks and I think his Nike high tops were a similar price) but these boots are real leather, they are padded and I got the next size up! We’re just going to double up on socks while the weather’s a bit chillier and really get a lot of wear out of them.
4. Star Jumper – £15, Baby K
I did think that although this jumper is super-cute that perhaps it wouldn’t suit Reuben’s colouring being quite dark, he tends to suit a brighter colour. But, I love him in it. It’s potentially a bit pricy if you compare to the super market prices but the quality is there. The stars have a lovely texture and the different textures to the knit all add to the ‘this is a more special jumper’ feel.
End of the night/cosy slippers/getting tired pose!
Peekaboo!
What do you think of our Mothercare Haul? Anything tickle your fancy?!
I’d love to hear your feedback either on the Mothercare Haul or even our Vlog! Do leave your comments below xx
The jeans Reuben wears in the Vlog and photos are from Baby Gap and the yellow sweater he wears in the Vlog is from H&M.
Love the new clothes, particularly the parka. I’m partial to a bit of mustard. Do the boots come up quite wide? My son has really wide feet, so I really struggle to find shoes he’s comfortable in x
They do seem quite wide Kerry – Reuben is an F or G in Clarks (if that helps?) and they definitely don’t look like they are flapping about! Might be worth heading down to try them on? Although Reuben literally HATES trying on shoes, so good luck 😉 The parka is really lovely (might put it over my legs later if I get a bit chilly!) xx
Oh that coat is amazing, he looks so cute in it! Don’t cut his hair!! Those lovely blonde locks are gorgeous 🙂
I know!! I love his hair…but unless I put a clip in it, he’s not going to be able to see soon!! Thanks Charlotte 🙂 xx
This is why I LOVE YOU! hehe. A video in a blog post is great as you still have the rest of the post for people like me. Loving the clothes, he’s such a cutie and I NEED that star jumper in my life! x
Haha! Glad you approve 😉 xx The sizes go up to 8 so I recon you might be able to get one in your life!! xx
I enjoy Vlogs but I like how you have a written post with pictures too. Especially as I often read when I’m having a sneaky minute to myself, if I put the vlog on the boys are alerted to my whereabouts and try to pinch my phone!!
You are right Hannah, Reuben is super cute! I love the Mothercare clothes. I took my Mum along and she agreed Mothercare have some of the nicest clothes. I really wanted to get Toby the Parka, but just couldn’t justify it when he has a coat. The older boys coats however were woefully inadequate so they now have a lovely new coat each. They are so warm and cosy! I’ve got the Toby the Grandad jumper for his second birthday next week
Aww what a gorgeous set of clothes- I love the little aztec jumper. We love mothercare clothes here. x
What a GORGEOUS young man you have! He is adorable, I just want to give his cheeks a squidge! 🙂 (And I like his hair, he looks kinda cool and grunge!)
I love the mustard coat on him and that cardigan is sensational and timeless. I’d put Elsie in that, I really would. Wonderful post darling, and what a model! xxx
I love the cardigan and the coat. great selection x
i know, right?! A match made in heaven 🙂 xx
Love this! Reuben looks like he should be in One Direction! Such a dude! xxx #BrillBlogPosts
Ha! DUDE! xx
He is totally gorgeous and deserves a modelling contract immediately and you look stunning yourself, you look like Kate Middleton in your vlog, love it! Thanks for linking up to #brilliantblogposts x
Haha! you’re always so complimentary!! thank you darling xxx
Lovely items I’m used to dressing girls so its nice to see some boys pieces love the boots they look great for the winter! #brilliantblogposts
oh yes, they’re ace and now he’s over his original ‘issue’ with, he’s never had them off! xx
Your little man is too cute Hannah! Love that cardi xxx #brilliantblogposts
Thanks love! The cardi is lush 🙂 xx
Love the star jumper and grandad cardi. Those peekaboo photos are adorable 🙂
Oh Reuben is do utterly adorable! Love all of the things you got, especially the cardigan and coat xx #TheList
Loving the coat! Definitely think Reuben could be a model! #thelist
awww, thanks love 😉 xx
I used to buy a lot of clothes from Mothercare but now my local one is half full of ELC toys and hardly any clothes! Perhaps I should go back and have another look now.
Yes, I think that is a bit of a problem in the smaller stores there isn’t enough room for all the different aspects…but if you can find a big store (or even save a trip and look online!) it’s worth it. So many cute cloths! xx
OMG gorgeous clothes for boys there. I will definitely be taking a trip to Mothercare I think our sons are similar ages. I love the traditional sweaters on little boys. The coat is so bright and wonderful too. I love bright colours. Shame we already have a collection of bright coloured coats or I would be there stocking up. Maybe I’ll buy one for Little C instead. Fantastic post, brilliant pictures and a very cute little boy. He should be a model 🙂
Awwww, that’s such a lovely thing to hear, thank you love! I really enjoyed making it so it’s nice to hear the hours (and hours!) paid off 🙂 xxx
Love the cardi and jumper – mega cute!! #TheList
Reuben looks lovely and very pleased with his Mothercare ‘haul’!!
Boy’s clothes are so much better these days, he looks fab!
Xx
They really are Clare! thanks love xxx
Love the cardi! And the coat. But REALLY can’t justify getting Arthur another… Reuben’s hair looks very similar to Arthur’s – similarly in need of a trim too though I love it long and floppy! 🙂 xx
I love it too – but I feel guilty when it gets in his eyes! The main issue is that he HATES, with a capital H, getting his hair cut. It involves A LOT of tears and is very distressing for all involved 🙁 I need to man up OR get someone to come to the house, that might work?? x
Love those boots, I was hoping they were from Mothercare when I saw them in the first pic. These are definitely going on my little man’s Christmas list!
What a generous Father Christmas! I hope you like them!! xx
Love the vlog, Reuben is such a wee beaut! Love love love the coat, what a fab colour.
Don’t think I’ve ever bought such stylish boots for my wee man, I always get him trainer for some reason. May have to go and look at some boots for him because they look lush x
they are pretty darn cute Lauren! I recon after he’s been wearing them all this week that we will get loads of wear out of them 🙂 xx
Looks like Reuben will be very stylish this winter 🙂 I love the jacket. Yellow is a great colour for boys and girls to brighten up the colder months!
Couldn’t agree more – Sunshine yellow to keep the sad at bay! xx
What a lovely collection- love the coat! The girls stuff is always fab too:) x x
