Disney Vampirina Boo-Tiful Dress - Review

We are massive Disney fans in our house and Erin's current favourite, aside from Frozen which I think she will be obsessed with for years, is Vampirina.

If you haven't heard of Vampirina, it is a show on Disney Junior which follows Vampirina "Vee" Hauntley who becomes the new kid in town after she and her family move from Transylvania to Pennsylvania. They open a bed and breakfast called the Scare B&B for visiting ghouls and goblins. Each episode is packed with music which I think is what E loves so much about it. She has even progressed from just watching the show to watching people play with Vampirina toys on YouTube, and then subsequently asking me if I can buy her every single one.


E was so excited to get her hands on the Vampirina Boo-Tiful Dress so that she could transform into Vee herself. E has always been a massive fan of dressing up, we have a huge box full of costumes and she likes just embodying the character. The Boo-Tiful dress comes with the dress, a bat wing headband and fingerless gloves.


The dress is suitable for children aged 4-6 years. E is a little under that at 3.5 but it does fit well (she wears 4-5 years on occasion) with a fair bit of growth so I would say it's true to size. I absolutely adore the dress and with its velour feel, it seems a bit higher quality than most other costumes that we own - this does mean that it must be handwashed only though. The addition of sparkles to create the web effect on the dress and the images on the gloves really caught E's eye - she's a sucker for glitter and you even have a little badge with the image of Vampirina on the chest.



The headband and gloves are a nice touch to set off the costume. The headband fits E's head perfectly and I am pleased to say that even two weeks later, the bat wings haven't drooped and still stand erect. Although the gloves are baggy on the hand, we did have to jiggle and really push her fingers through the holes to get them on properly without feeling like they were going to fall off.


This is a gorgeous little costume for any Vampirina fans out there and I've actually struggled to get E out of it, she loves it that much! It retails at £24.99 and is available to buy from Debenhams.

Youngsies Bee Onesie - Review

If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I am obsessed with kids clothing. I am constantly posting pictures of my children, showcasing their outfits so when I saw that Youngsies were looking for reviewers of their fabulous rompers, of course I wanted to do it!

Youngsies sell a wide range of onesies or rompers for children aged 6 months to 2 years and you can choose from lots of different animals. I opted for the Bee suit thinking E would look adorable and boy, was I right!

When I first opened the suit out, I did give a little squeal at how cute it was and I had to get it on E right away. I usually associate bees with yellow and black but the stripes on this one are brown. I did think that this was a little odd at the beginning but it doesn't detract from how awesome this suit is!


I chose size 12-18 months as that's what E usually wears and there is plenty of room for growth. I can't cope with how sweet E looks in it so she will definitely wear it a lot. The quality is amazing too. With Halloween coming up, I think these would be great to use as a Halloween costume due to how thick they are, especially if you are taking your little one trick or treating. Regular Halloween costumes tend to be made from quite a thin material and little ones won't want to wear a coat as they want to show off their costume. The thickness of these mean that your child will be kept a little warmer than they would be with these thin ones.


The Bee Onesie retails at £17.99 and you cam view the full selection at the Youngsies website. You can also give them a follow on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
