Jamie’s Italian Dublin
With the not fun-ness of moving house and at late notice requiring a rental house for three weeks weighing upon us, husband very kindly decided a lunch out for all was required to cheer up the cranky family. With the rain pouring down Jamie’s Italian in Dundrum Town Centre was a very welcome sight and did not disappoint. With the kids menu in view finder format, deliciously fun food for the kids and really excellent and friendly service we will definitely be back again. See the full menu here.
Si+Lu - Childrenswear designed and made in Ireland
If you are still looking for the perfect Sunday best coat for your little one then look no further than Si+Lu’s absolutely beautiful Donegal Tweed Coat. Inspired by early twentieth century designs and with large practical hoods they are just stunning. Combined with their Alpaca scarf and mitten set they should see any child safely through even the draughtiest Christmas day mass. Check out their full collection here.
All For Children - H&M and UNICEF
I have been spotting some of the gorgeous products from the H&M and UNICEF, All For Children collaboration around the internet and have been disappointed not to find them in our local store. The collection of clothes and housewares donates 25% of the profit to the Unicef charity, currently focusing on India and Bangladesh. The good news today however is that we managed to pick a very lovely Elephant nightlight from the collection and spotted a few key items, such as the flamingo head dress in the Dundrum Town Centre branch. Another source of the range is the very excellent Little Fashion Gallery online store but sadly neither the Dundrum branch or LFG have the gorgeous play tent left currently available, clearly a key purchase for the season. Find out all about it here and shop the range at Little Fashion Gallery here.
Threadless - We’re gonna need a bigger cookie
The kids may love Elmo but I can’t help liking this Cookie Monster tee the best. Brought to you by the letter Tee (yes, I did just do that), see the full range of Threadless Kids Sesame Street t-shirts here.
