Bicyclette

With such a beautiful summer this year we couldn’t wait to get out on our Brilliant bicycles and off for a picnic, these beautiful “bicyclettes” as we call them in French have been waiting to get outside since January!!!! Ella’s bicycle is actually called a Biddle, it’s built for toddlers to teach balance and coordination, without the need for training wheels! She loves it and we know it will be great for Noah when he’s ready to start practicing. The details and quality of these bicycles are purely incredible, I sat in awe of them for probably a good hour after my father in law built them for us and surprised us with them! You can bet your bottom my white one has some picturesque photo shoots lined up for it – all I need is the perfect basket which honestly has been harder to find than you’d think. You can find both of our bicycles on the Brilliant website {here}, all of their bikes are stunning for both men, women & the kids…I’d love to know what your favourite one is!

We’ve had quite the heat wave around here with temperatures as high as 30+ celsius (feeling like nearly 40 degrees) and so after a mini bike ride to the beach in our new Joules outfits we found ourselves a pretty patch of shade for a picnic…the picnic will be up on the blog in August but for now I wanted to share some shots our photographer Tamara snapped of us before hand. I am so so in LOVE with these images of our Ella, she was sporting her mini Daniel Wellington watch and she was adorably swooning over it while we swooned over her…her little personality is just blossoming more every day and it yanks on my heart strings like you couldn’t imagine!!! She also wanted mommy’s hat for most of the day which was 110% fine with me, she totally wore it better if you ask me…my little Audrey Hepburn right? Her dress was perfect for our afternoon beach date together too, she didn’t want to take it off before bed! Both of our outfits were super comfortable for a bike ride and nice and light considering the weather, who says you can’t take a bicycle around in pretty dresses??? We love Joules clothing for the entire family, we just also stocked up on some dapper looks for Craig & Noah too! You can check out their website {here}, they have a huge 60% off sale right now!! They are a British lifestyle brand, I apologize in advance because once you see their adorable wellies (rainboots) your shopping cart will be full of them – in mini & mommy sizes!!!

We also wore our new mother & daughter matching necklaces sent to us from Erin Pelicano, I cried a little when we received it and gave Ella hers…it was such a special moment! This is our first matching set and I love that they’re 14k gold  – you know I am all about gold around here, nothing else touches my skin! You can view all of their gorgeous pieces {here}. Their jewellery makes for perfect gifts, I bought a cute set for my sister in law & niece too!

 

A big thank you to Joules for sponsoring this post & Tamara Lockwood for photographing us!
