Looking Adorable with Petit Bateau

amomentwithfranca · 24 July 2016 · 66 Comments

I was so excited to be approached by the lovely people at Petit Bateau. They have gorgeous kids clothing. I was really happy to be able to choose an outfit for each of my girls and have fun trying the clothes on them. It was really difficult to choose an outfit as I really like them all, LOL! It took me a fair amount of time to decide, but I finally chose 2 outfits that I think are adorable!

Petit Bateau FI

If you haven’t heard of Petit Bateau, they have a heritage of 123 years! Wow, this is amazing! This fantastic company was born in 1893 at the Saint Joseph de Troyes factory in France. For years, they have been offering the best quality products with a recognisable design – the stripes being their most iconic one. They have lots of great designs with stripes that I really love. Not only do they have clothes for kids but also for adults, so you can imagine how tempted I was to get something for me too, 😉

Petit Bateau Outfits

When the delivery arrived, I dressed the girls in their respective outfits. OMG, they looked adorable! I really liked it! I couldn’t waste the opportunity, so we went off to have some lunch at The Freemasons Arms, a cool restaurant in Hampstead. They have a nice garden area which I thought would be great to take some cute photos of the girls modelling their clothes. I was so excited about it, LOL!

BELLA’S OUTFIT

The outfit I chose for Bella was the GIRLS’ WHIMSICAL STRIPED DRESS which I paired with GIRLS’ PLAIN STRETCH COTTON LEGGINGS. I love the design. As I said, they have lots of outfits with stripes, this dress being a great example. I like red with the combination of the blue and white, making the whole dress look really cool.

This dress is super practical for the whole summer. The dress has been crafted in soft, comfortable premium cotton jersey and features a trendy, original print reminiscent of the iconic Petit Bateau nautical shirt design. The piece features the feminine touch of a large bow at the waistline. The material of this dress is 100% cotton which is fantastic.

The leggings were simple but the perfect match to the dress as it was not hot enough to wear this dress without them. These leggings are crafted in plain stretch jersey, a blend of cotton and elastane which provides optimal comfort and a perfect fit throughout the day. The good thing about these leggings is that she can wear them with various skirts and dresses or simply with a top. They are available in a range of colours: grey, white, red, pink and blue. I chose the last one, ‘smoking’ blue. The material is 93% cotton and 7% elastane.

The dress was £16.80 and it was actually reduced from £28 so it was a nice 40% discount. The leggings were £17.00, but the cost varies between £15.50 and £17 depending on the size of the child.

SIENNA’S OUTFIT

The outfit I chose for Sienna was from their newborn/baby collection. This was the BABY GIRL’S MILLERAIES-STRIPED T-SHIRT together with BABY GIRL PLAIN LEGGINGS. This outfit was really adorable. I thinks Sienna looks really cute in it. I love the red and white stripes.

The short-sleeved T-shirt top is made in 1×1 rib with a milleraies stripe. I love the idea of having the option of the shoulder opening with two poppas on each side. The little bow is just divine which really adds a feminine touch to the T-shirt. The material is 100% cotton. I love the details and the colour really suits Sienna. It looked really nice combined with the blue leggings. The top looks very comfortable and Sienna really enjoyed wearing it.

The leggings were the same style as the ones that Bella had. These leggings are a collection basic and come in six colours . You can combine these practical leggings with dresses from the collection or with a blouse for a more casual look. It has a silkscreened sailboat at the top of the leggings. which I think is really cute. The material is 100% cotton.

The top is £12.00 and was actually reduced from £20.00 so it was also a nice 40% discount. The leggings are £6.90 reduced from £11.50, but again the price depends on the size of the child.

Both girls were very happy with their outfits. After our little shoot we went to a nearby playground where they were playing happily and were very comfortable in their clothes. No complaints, just me freaking out every time I thought the outfits were going to get dirty, LOL!

You can find more about Petit Bateau on Facebook, Twitter,  YouTube, browsing their photos on Istagram or browsing their boards on Pinterest. 

Have you bought at Petit Bateau before? Do you like their collection? What do you think of the outfits I chose for my little girls? Leave a comment below as I would love to read what you think.

*Disclaimer: I received these outfits for my girls from Petit Bateau in exchange for a blog post. However all opinions and thoughts are my own. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    Very envious of this collaboration – I love petit bateau!!! Arthur used to have a lovely white cardigan (sadly too small now) but we have some great polo style tops for him and he always looks really smart and lovely in their clothes. I did but some long sleeve tops with collars and button neck for him a couple of months ago, with poppers between the legs (like a body suit) but the front part of the poppers was bigger than the back making me wonder if the collar/buttons opening at the front of the neck was actually supposed to be worn back to front as a new kind of style!! (I didn’t try it out just in case people thought I’d lost the plot and dressed him backwards lol!) your girls look lovely! #kcacols

✨ 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

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 😍.

✨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

✨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
