I remember lusting after the clothes in my local JMB shop window (in Reigate, Surrey) when I was a teenager, and always thinking to myself "When I'm a grown up and have children of my own I'm going to shop here!" And now suddenly I find myself a bonafide grown up - I'm 30 in a couple of weeks, married, mortgage, two children and a cat to boot - wow, it genuinely feels like 5 minutes ago I was sneaking out of college lectures to head to the pub with my then boyfriend...how times change!!
I stuck to my word though, and have been shopping with Jojo Maman Bebe ever since I fell pregnant with Bert. I really adore the nautical theme lots of their clothes have (I'm the Queen of Breton Stripes if you didn't know already!) and the ultimate combination for me is a Breton stripe with my favourite colour - yellow.
Each season I get so excited to see the new collection from Jojo Maman Bebe and when I was lucky enough to preview this year's AW16 collection I got particularly excited, especially when I saw this STUNNING Children's Fisherman's Jacket, priced at £35...
Breton stripes AND yellow! Isn't it darling?
The lovely people at Jojo Maman Bebe very kindly sent Bert a Fisherman's Jacket just in time for his start at pre-school in mid-September - HOW is my BABY old enough to start pre-school? *SOB*
We've been giving it a test run before the school term begins, and I think you'll agree that it's blooming cute!

Look at that face!!
Such sweet detailing - I do love all things nautical. And such a gorgeous colour! I won't be losing him in a crowd in a hurry! ;-)
Bert wore his new jacket to the zoo on his 3rd Birthday weekend a few weeks ago, naturally Tigger had to come along too!
Note the matching socks too ;-)

Studying the map of the zoo - he takes his animals very seriously does our Bert! Look at those crossed legs! *cute*
Twinning with my boy!
The quality of the clothes at Jojo Maman Bebe are exceptional - absolutely worth the slightly higher price tag in my opinion, and anyway they regularly have really fab sales where you can pick up absolute bargains, if at full price their clothes are usually out of your budget.
