Such a beautiful collection of baby alpaca wool knits by Ingugu. All made by hand in soft, natural colours and simple styles. Clothes that give snuggly warmth, softness, comfort and style always get my vote. And right now Ingugu is having a sale with 30% off everything.
This week’s picks for mama & baby… let mama carry this striking polka dot bag while baby wears that cute alpaca wool dress with heart shaped pockets.
There’s definitely a nip in the air which means it’s time to start getting your winter woolies out and maybe even buying a few more. While summer is my favourite season, I do look forward to winter fashions the most, not just for me but for the little one too. There’s one British brand that I’ve wanted to share with you for a long while and with the weather turning, I couldn’t wait any longer. They’re called Waddler and they create wonderful woolies for babies and kids with a keen eye on design and lots of playful touches that make the clothes immensely wearable and immensely cute.
All made of 100% baby alpaca wool in Bolivia, Waddler’s creations are quirky, playful and stylish without any of the over-cuteness that you can find in baby clothes. There isn’t a piece in the collection that I don’t like. Their colours too are lovely with lots of soft grey’s, sandy browns and off-white’s complimented by bolder colours like teal and bright red. Most of their clothes are unisex making them great for passing on from one sibling to another. I could go on and on about wonderful Waddler but I’ll leave you to discover the rest over at their site.
I have some super exciting news… the lovely folks at Oeuf NYC are giving one lucky reader the chance to win a ‘Wild Things’ crown in the colour of your choice. You’ll find all the details of how to enter at the bottom of this post. But first, I’d like to share a preview of Oeuf NYC’s delightful Autumn/Winter 2012 collection.
When I opened up the Oeuf NYC Fall/Winter 2012 look book my heart skipped a beat. My eyes feasted on clothes, dressing up goodies and toys that took my breath away. How can anybody not fall in love with this collection? The clothes are playful and fun yet infinitely wearable and practical and always complimented by fabulous design. What more could you possibly want from children’s clothes?
Year after year Oeuf create hugely covetable clothes, toys and nursery furniture and this latest Fall/Winter 2012 collection is no exception. Their dressing up pieces are also second to none. Whether your child wants to play wolf or be Santa Claus or even a cat for a day, Oeuf has lots to choose from and all created with bags of style and subtlety yet lots of drama. I know it’s too early to even mention santa, but I just couldn’t resist picturing the adorable hat and beard combo!
All the clothes are made in Bolivia from baby alpaca wool. Not only is the wool a soft and luxurious natural fibre but by making the clothes in Bolivia, Oeuf supports the local women artisans who earn a fair income and are able to educate their kids. If you’re a mama with a penchant for style and all things beautiful, then Oeuf is the place to go. Oeuf NYC certainly has a special place in my heart and I don’t think it’s difficult to see why.

When I’m feeling blue… all I have to do is take a look at you.
I’m longing for blue skies. If you live in London or anywhere in England you’ll know what I mean. If not, you’re probably enjoying blue skies already… lucky you! While I wait I thought I’d cheer us all up with some wonderful blue goodies:
1. “La Casita” cloud pillow with raindrop stickers… 2. Baby alpaca wool clothes for boy or girl… 3. Stars, stripes and solid indigo blue cushions for a nursery… 4. Blue snow-capped mountains wallpaper designed and drawn by an 8 year old… 5. A foxy soft toy* made of re-cycled denim which I discovered while reading Milk Mag… 6. A happy balloon with a your personal message inside for any occasion.
Today’s picks for mama & baby… let mama adorn her wrists with one of these unique Peruvian bracelets while baby sports that adorable hooded poncho.
Winter is truly here and I’m missing the sunshine. I’m in need of a big warm hug from the sun so while I wait I thought I would bring you some kids clothes that have been injected with a little bit of sunny yellow. I’m a huge fan of lots of yellow for nursery decor and for kiddy clothes but a splash of yellow with other colours works so well too. Here are my top picks:
1. The ever cool Bobo Choses brings us this ice-lolly vest for boy or girl. You can get this at Orefeo Design.
2. A pretty little crochet swing cardigan for baby girls from Les Jardins de Vie. The lace details are just so girly and lovely.
3. This sweet jumpsuit is from the fabulously stylish and fabulously French Bonpoint boutique and it’s for babies up to 2 years old.
4. Adorable and bright, these little baby alpaca wool booties with suede soles are by Waddler and are hand made in Bolivia.
5. Very unusual and very quirky with a vintage vibe is this postcard print dress by Dominique Ver Eecke from a boutique called Zoen.
6. I’m loving the sunny yellow with the bold blue on these gorgeous little booties from Heart Felt 4 Kids. The sunflower motif and floral lining makes them even more special.
7. A flirty skirt in the most delicious berry and mustard colour combination – is there an adult version, please?!. It’s by super trendy Miller London and it’s available from Elias & Grace.
8. Angulus shoes have long been a favourite of mine and these pale yellow ones would be the perfect compliment to many an outfit on a dull winters day. They’re from Sparkle & Spin.
9. Ouef NYC do create goodies that are hugely desirable as is this adorable 100% alpaca wool charcoal dress with cute heart shaped pockets in mustard. Another lovely colour combo.
Christmas is over for another year but I’ve still got red on my mind so I thought I would bring you some lovely red clothes and shoes for the kiddies. Red is such a happy colour which works for both boy and girl so it definitely gets my vote. Here are my finds:
1. Adorable tomato red romper in alpaca wool by Waddler.
2. A trendy red dress with flutter details by The Brandstrom Company. You’ll find it at Scandinavian Minimall.
3. A striking red trench coat by Stella McCartney Kids which is currently on sale.
4. Sweet n’ stripy red wellies for boy or girl by Polarn O. Pyret.
5. Gorgeous handmade belt with flowers by Bellrose. It’s on sale at Little Fashion Gallery
6. Cute little chunky cardi/coat with a pointy hood for babies from Bonton.
7. Chic and simple is this red checked shirt by Simple Kids. It’s from Elias and Grace.
8. Stunning Spanish dancing shoes with polka dots by Christa Davis.
This recent burst of beautiful hot weather may have fooled us in to hoping that summer’s on it’s way back. Sadly, we all know that’s not going to happen. But it’s not all bad news… once you see the offerings from Fournier you’ll be wishing for the cold to come now. Fournier hand craft baby and childrens clothes in Bolivia. Made from the finest baby alpaca wool, the clothes and accessories are super fashionable too which means they’re going to keep your bambinos warm in style. Amongst the offerings are simple but trendy dresses and knitted hats, stunning handmade crocheted necklaces and the cutest little sheep bag I’ve seen. I can picture the fuchsia dress being worn with knitted leggings and chunky boots for a super stylish winter look. And to complete the look, wear one of the necklaces or scarfs on offer. I’m so loving the necklace made of little hand knitted balls. Visit Fournier to check out their entire range. Prices start from around $15 and shipping is worldwide.
