A supermarket is not naturally the place to go to buy children’s clothes, but over here in Paris, I cannot resist buying a little dress or a top every time I need to shop for a bag of potatoes.

Our local supermarket is a Monoprix and they stock some of the loveliest baby and kids clothes. They sell cute little cotton summer dresses and even little cashmere babygros. I especially like they organic cotton infants line. It can be hit and miss but it is always worth having a look for that lovely little dress that would not look out of place at Bonpoint, for a fifth of the price.

The only problem is that I am not the only mom that has discovered this particular treasure trove. I dropped my daughter off to play school the other day and about 3 other little girls were wearing the same dress as she. Oh well, I guess it shows that we all have good taste…..
