This competition couldn’t have come at a better time for me – I went to Next yesterday and fell in love with the summer collection for boys.
I have been struggling with the photo links so I hope this works to illustrate my blog post. http://chocolateisnottheonlyfruit.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/my-festival-baby-collection-next.html

Here’s my post: http://piperanddaisy.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/next-mummy-stylist-blogger-competition.html
I’ve tried everything to add the badge to my page but just can;t figrue out how to do it. I sent you an e-mail shouting for help but I know you’re probably very busy
I’ve never added anything to my sidebar before so just can’t figure out how to do it – sorry ;-( Tried googling for an answer but it all got very technical with lots of HTML coding and everything I tried resulted in error messages. Still happy to add this if you can give me any clues!
June 28, 2012 at 3:04 pm
This is such a fantastic competition and I had so much fun putting my blog post together
http://pretty-things4.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/next-mummy-stylist-blogger-competition.html

Fab idea for a comp! Only stumbled across it last night in the nick of time.
Here’s my post http://cocomamastyle.com/2012/06/29/summer-looks-girls-next/
Always good to have an excuse to style my mini me!
I’ve also pinned it here: http://pinterest.com/pin/169940585909750559/
Couldn’t get the badge to work though? Tried pasting a few times and it just comes up with ” “All ” in my side bar?!
Thank you x
