Family Summer Fashion

amomentwithfranca · 4 June 2020 · 19 Comments

As the summer season approaches, now is a great time to start looking at your family’s wardrobe to make sure everyone has a good variety of outfits that are up to date with the trends and appropriate for the hotter days to come. Babies and toddlers especially grow at a significant rate and grow out of their clothes in what seems like a blink of an eye.

AD: Paid Collaboration

The best way to start adding to your summer wardrobe is by catching sales in preparation for the next season when stores need to get rid of inventory, and of course, budget-friendly boutiques. If you’re looking for a place to start looking, here are a few ideas for the fashion-forward family.

For the baby

Summer onesies are the best option since they’re comfortable for your baby and affordable for parents. To make a fashion statement, baby rompers for boys and girls come in many different styles and cuts. The best thing about onesies and rompers for babies is that they can be worn out or to stay home.

What you decide to put under your baby’s onesie is also just as important. Cloth diapers vs disposable diapers are all about preference. However, if you’re wanting to give your baby a break from disposable diapers for more breathable material, cloth diapers are a great way to make sure that he is comfortable during warmer days. Specifically for babies who aren’t walking yet and are used to lying or sitting on their bums all day.

For little girls

If you’ve got a toddler or a little girl the best pieces of clothing for that age group are summer dresses for little girls. With Fiery Scarlet, Biscay Green, and Coral Pink being in the top seven biggest colour trends of summer for 2020, you’re sure to find a variety of dresses in these colours.

Loose-fitting dresses like a twirl or casual cotton midi cut allow your little one to stay cool all day, while still being fashionable as she plays. The key is to find casual dresses that are comfortable for her to wear throughout the season and that are versatile enough to use for staying in or going out.

For little boys

Boys would live in shorts and a t-shirt day in and day out if they could. That’s why shopping for their summer outfits is easy. When shopping for shorts, the best style is the pull-up ones that don’t have any zippers or buttons to mess with and keeps your little boy comfortable while sitting or playing.

Shorts such as jogger shorts are relaxed through the hip and thigh and have an elastic waistband. While they are similar to a pair of sweat shorts, joggers are lighter in material so they are more breathable for playing outside in hotter temperatures. For a dressier look, pair shorts with a nice pair of sneakers and a fancier top. To go casual, some kick around shoes and a plain t-shirt will keep them comfy throughout the day.

For Mums

Casual dresses for women are always in style, especially if you’re working from home. Dresses are a great way to throw something on quickly without having to spend a lot of time putting an outfit together. You can spend the day casually at home barefoot or with your favourite slip-on sandals.

You can also dress it up by wearing a fancier pair of shoes and accessorizing your dress with a headband, a summer hat, or jewellery, perfect for a date night or meetings with clients and co-workers.

For Dads

Like the saying goes, “Like father, like son”, which means dad probably prefers to casually wear a pair of shorts and t-shirt throughout the day. With many offices moving forward with a more relaxed dress code, dad can even wear his shorts to work. Of course, it has to be done properly.

Knee-length shorts, with a nice pair of shoes that require socks, and a button-up shirt make the outfit look more professional and put together. If wearing shorts to more professional settings, stay away from pairing shorts with a t-shirt, hat, or any type of open-toe shoe.

When shopping online, make sure that you read the material information. The more stretchy and lightweight the material is, the more breathable and comfortable you and your family will be.

Are you ready for the summer season?

    It’s such a shame that there’s no real point in spending a lot of money of summer outfits this year when they’re only going to be worn in the garden!

    I loved dressing my daughter in rompers when she was a baby, and now I put her in gorgeous summer dresses or skirts. That is, if it is ever warm enough in the UK hehe. For myself I have a variety of dresses that can be layered with jumpers, cardigans, tights etc. for when the weather in unpredictable. And if a dress can be dressed up and down with different shoes and accessories then that is a total win! #KCACOLS

    With lockdown I feel I’ve totally lost track of fashion and missed the summer season altogether. We are out shopping for the first time tomorrow, I’m quite excited.

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru ✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru is located on the coast. Walking along the sidewalk of the Malécon in Lima’s picturesque seaside district, Miraflores, you can admire the most beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. .The “Costa Verde” is a coastal road. It runs along the south-central part of the Lima coast. You can visit in the morning for a jog or in the evening to enjoy a relaxing walk. It is a very lively where people have fun in the open air..This is one of the best attractions on the coastal road. You will see several parks with sculptures of famous artists that make this walk even more unique and enjoyable. Along the route, you can find numerous recreational activities such as surfing and paragliding..If you keep walking you will arrive at “Larcomar” which is a shopping centre and has many restaurants and cafes so you can enjoy a coffee or a meal with the gorgeous ocean view too. .Pictures explained below:1. Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”. The monument to love was created by Peruvian artist Víctor Delfín. 6. 📸 Faro de Lima (lighthouse)7. 🎥 View of the Pacific Ocean from Barranco area where you can see Lima Marina Club, a members only club. .If you visit Lima, I highly recommend you to have a walk along this gorgeous area.

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
