It doesn’t seem that long ago that I was planning Olivia’s 1st birthday bash, but here I am planning her second.

I still have to pinch myself that I have a two year old daughter, or to be honest, just that I have a daughter in general!

So her birthday & party is one week away and the fact that she was born at the beginning of the year coincides with a new fashion season too, so there’s lots of new, fresh styles to choose from.

Anyone that knows me or that follows my blog, knows that I’m a sucker for Zara clothing. But lately I have my eye on fashion label Cos for both myself and Olivia. Their structured clean line designs, fuse similarly between adult and child and what I like most about it, is that the kids designs are very much age appropriate.

So with Olivia’s party looming I wanted to pick an outfit that was stylish but comfortable, for all the dancing and jumping and eating that happens at birthday parties.

Here’s my edit of some of my favourite looks from Cos and Zara.

Oh to be two again!

Textured dress in citrus with fake collar both – Cos

The white collar (above) is my fav piece from the edit. I have one from River Island and it’s very versatile and it instantly changes a look. I love that there’s one for kids now too. I’ll put O’s on under jumpers and dresses that have a suitable neckline for a collar. This really is a great piece to have.

Chic Navy A-Line Dress – Cos

Print Jumper, fake collar and grey trousers – Cos

Yellow dress and metallic Mary-Janes – Zara

Floral 70’s vibe dress – Zara

Jacquard Dress and ankle boots – Zara

Olivia has a couple of the looks from Cos and I will be photographing her in them very soon.

Which one’s your favourite?
