Cole and Co: The Boden Preview: Autumn 2016

The Boden sale preview is here! I have always been such a big fan of Boden, particularly their children's range. Nothing beats it in terms of quality and hardiness. I think the only pair of trousers that Austin didn't manage to wear a hole in were some tartan baggies he had a couple of years ago, and he wore them to death!

I have picked out my absolute favourite pieces from the new collection, although lets be honest, I could happily roll around in every single piece!

Naturally we have to start with the Baby Boden collection. Bryony is now 2 and a half (albeit a small 2 and a half!) so the time that she will be able to fit into the baby collection is limited and this does make me well up a little. I was thrilled to see that they are now doing some of the baby Boden pieces up to 3-4 years, which gives me a whole extra year or so to be able to buy from it, which I hope to throughly make the most of! The collection for baby girls this year is particularly stunning. Cord, squirrels and florals galore. What is not to love about that?!

2. Cord Squirrel Pinny

4. Pink Play Set

The Mini Boden Girl's collection is equally beautiful. I LOVE the hotchpotch floral dresses on either side, they remind me very much of dresses I saw in Portugal last summer and I think the navy one would suit Bryony's colouring perfectly. Some more lovely casual bits; I adore the tree print on the casual smock dress and cord skirt, as well as the ever popular rainbow detail pieces too which would be adorable for playgroup or nursery.

5. Rainbow Tee

6. Tree Print Cord Skirt

7. Rainbow Raglan

An honourable mention must go to the PJs. Bryony would love the doggy print, and I particularly love those vibrant green sheep printed ones!

The boy's Mini Boden collection for Autumn is equally cute! Austin is almost 5 and now at school full time, so I don't find he needs as many clothes as his younger sister. I think these pyjamas are just adorable jammies for little boys! They have an autumal theme with conkers, bugs and trees. I definitely want to get him a pair of the tartan baggies and this pig top is super cute and funny too!

I don't tend to reach for the ladies collections in Boden; I am in my early twenties and to be honest most of their pieces don't excite me. I do love this dress though. In a mint green colour, a flattering shape and cute bird print I could definitely see myself in this!
