This weekend we went strawberry (and veggie) picking. Not only have I never taken Anya before but I had never been. I so enjoyed picking my own vegetables knowing that I would be able to go home and cook them (hello broad bean bruschetta). Anya too had a ball picking strawberries but then refused to eat them (fussy eater doesn’t even begin to describer her)! This is one of the things that I love most about Summer – spending time outdoors as a family, doing fun things that everybody can enjoy. My other Summer love is the fashion, especially the beautiful and colourful Summer dresses for little girls like the green dress that Anya wears.
This Sophie dress was gifted to us by the talented designer Molly who is known for her adorable animal coats but has now extended her range to include lots of pretty and very girly Summer clothes. Every piece that Molly offers is handmade making each item even more special. This blue-green dress is one of my favourites in her collection because it’s so simple, easy and comfy to wear and looks so pretty. The hand block-printed fabric and the little details like the ruffle hem and front tie just add to the charm of this dress.
I can’t wait to go back again to do some more veggie and fruit picking and next time I might even convince Anya to eat the strawberries. After all how can anybody not like strawberries? And thank you to Molly for this lovely dress and don’t forget to check out the rest of her Summer dresses.

A beautiful dress. We have a strawberry farm really close, yet have never took my boy strawberry picking – a great idea for the Summer.

Beautiful pictures. We have never been strawberry picking or vegetable picking. It is something I want to do, I think Lil G would like it. Your beautiful pictures have inspired me!
Thank you – I think any little kid would love it. It was my first time and it was great – the veggies were some of the freshest I’ve eaten. Highly recommended 🙂
