Lottie’s First Hair Cut.

There are lots of first’s in a little ladies life, first smile, first tooth, first steps, first hair cut…. Last week Lottie had her first hair cut. Only it wasn’t really my choice, it was Bella’s.

With their new A/W range now available I had a field day browsing the site. I went for three Jersey dresses that are perfect for…
