"kids on the moon SS14"

Are you a little wild at heart?  Do you like something a bit out of the ordinary?  Then this ‘Moonsafari’ collection is for you.   You’ll find camouflage prints, warrior stripes, wing like ruffles and bubble skirts in colours that reflect the wilder side of nature.   Kids on the Moons latest Spring Summer 2014 collection is so striking.  I love how they’ve got a real sense of wildness and adventure in the collection but it doesn’t take over the clothes.

"polish childrens clothing"

Dressing up and pretending is one of the great joys of childhood.  In our home this is an everyday thing and I am all for it.  This collection re-inforces that spirit of adventure and fantasy that all kids have.  Some of my favourites include those cool grey bubble shorts and that vest with the camouflage ruffles that is girly with a hint of edginess. 

"striped summer dress girls"

This new Spring Summer collection by Kids on the Moon is special – it’s different without being over the top.  And most importantly it’s very comfy for kids to wear and children can be children in these clothes.  What’s not to love?

"informal wedding dinner style"

We’ve got a family wedding to go to soon in Kathmandu, Nepal and we’re super excited.  I love weddings and it’s been a while since I’ve been to one.  We’re all booked and the only thing left to decide is what we’re all going to wear.  Indian/Nepalese weddings tend to go on for a week with function after function so it’s not just one outfit you need, but several.  Luckily this wedding is a bit shorter with only three events, two of which are formal so both Anya and I plan to go in Indian national dress for the formal celebrations – I’ll wear a sari, she’ll wear a kids lehenga.  We’ve already got the Indian outfits so all that’s left to plan is the look for the very informal pre-wedding dinner bearing in mind that it’s going to be hot too.

Probably the easiest thing would be to find myself a dress but I’m not much of a dress person.  I prefer trousers or skirts.  With that in mind, I’ve been thinking about looks for Anya and me.  These are the 3 favourite looks I’ve narrowed it down to for the informal pre-wedding dinner party.  Which look do you like best?

Happy confetti

March 25, 2014

"confetti clothes, walls and more"

Confetti is one of those things that makes you feel cheerful the second you see it.  Whether it’s on the walls, on clothes or on the table, confetti just seems to have that ‘happy’ effect.  I love confetti and not just for a party so I went looking around for some happy confetti to get inspired and here’s what I found:

1.  DIY giant confetti wall decoration…  2.  confetti onesie…  3.  confetti skirt…  4.  DIY confetti frames…  5.  DIY confetti number cake toppers…  6.  multi-coloured confetti wall stickers.

"French linen dresses for girls"

I wanted to start the week by sharing this effortlessly simple and stylish collection of linen dresses.  Linen is such a beautiful fabric both in look and feel and so perfect for Summer.  These dresses by Le Vestiaire de Jeane are easy to wear, loose fitting for comfort and great for dressing up or down.  The collection also includes similar dresses for women and I can’t help but think they would be so cool and comfy to wear during a Summer pregnancy and beyond. 

"blush pink baby clothes shoes"

The word ‘blush’ is such a pretty way to describe this beautiful pale peachy-pink colour which I’m loving for Spring.  So soft and feminine, this is a colour I want to see more of in my home and wardrobe.  So I went looking for blush things for mamas and kids and here are my favourtie finds:

 1.  lunch bag style clutch…  2.  floral printed kids dress…  3.  ballet bunny soft toy…  4.  face cleanse powder…  5.  stoneware trinket box…  6.  dotty oxford shoes.

"soft gallery SS14""soft gallery ice-cream dress""soft gallery boys tshirt""soft gallery baby onesie balloon""soft gallery Summer 2014 kids"

Called ‘Nostalgia’ , this new Spring Summer 2014 collection by Soft Gallery is cool and unique.  I see a lot of kids clothing lines and after a while many of them start to look a bit samey.  But Soft Gallery is different and stands out from the crowd. Their illustrations are created by artists especially for their clothes and their styles are comfy and cool.  In addition to the illustrations, there are some striking prints in the collection too.  I’m loving that relaxed ice-cream dress as well as that quirky roller skating bear body. 

"pretty swimsuits for girls""pink bikini for babies""European designer swimwear for kids"

We’ve had the most glorious weekend here in London.  For early March, we’ve had unexpected warmth and sunshine which has definitely lifted my spirits, especially after all the rain we’ve had this year.  Another drop of sunshine that made it’s way to my inbox this weekend was this adorable new Summer 2014 collection by Little Creative Factory.  The pictures instantly put a smile on my face, how could they not? 

Little Creative Factory make the cutest swimwear and Summer clothing for boys and girls which is at once childlike yet sophisticated.  Their little baby bikinis are some of the sweetest I’ve seen and their swimsuits for older girls are no less stylish.  I’m especially loving that cream one shoulder swimsuit and the cute cream (post swim) hoodie.  All the clothes are made not just with style in mind but also comfort and movement which is so important for little ones.   There are also summer dresses, cool shirts, hoodies and more in their collection and there’s even a small line for adults… yay! 

"buggy handle protectors"

How cute are these buggy socks?  And the name too.  Cheerful little stripy socks to protect your (umbrella) buggy handles that can fray and tear over time.  But even if they don’t,  I still love these socks for their cute factor.  And besides protecting, they will also make your buggy standout from the crowd.  Very handy in the playground.  They come in many different coloured stripes and a range of sizes to fit a variety of buggy handles and there’s also a sweet pompom version of these handle protectors.  I’m past the buggy stage but if I ever went back there, I’d have to choose the bright turquoise and grey striped ones.  Which colour would you choose?

"cotton knit baby poncho"

Buggy Socks also make adorable ponchos and buggy blankets in bright solid colours or stripes.  They’re all knitted from 100% cotton so are especially ideal for Spring and Autumn.   When I saw their range, it was the ponchos I first fell for.  I love stripes and in these vibrant colours they will liven-up any outfit.  Buggy Socks are are based in Spain where everything is made and most of their range is suitable for 0-3 year olds.  They really do take stripy cuteness to a whole new level and therefore I’m happy to have them on board as my newest sponsor. 

"made by muku spring summer 2014""linen dresses for girls""girls summer linen tops"

Spring Summer 2014 from Made by Muku is here and it’s just beautiful.  Cosy linen clothes in simple shapes and muted tones that are so comfy and practical for kids too.  My favourite is that cross-backed play suit but really, I love all the pieces.  It’s impossible not to.  

I heart flamingos

February 27, 2014

"zara girls spring collection"

I’m loving these sweet little flamingos and hearts dotted over tees, dresses, bags and more.  Pretty little prints for the cutest little people.  My favourite is that flamingo baby tee but I also love that heart print sweatshirt for older girls.  What would you choose?
