August 12, 2015

Things do not get much cuter than these new veggie inspired hand knitted clothes from Oeuf. While your fussy eaters may not eat their veggies, you’ll have no trouble convincing your kids to wear them! All knitted in 100% baby alpaca wool, this adorable clothing collection couldn’t be more delicious! There are also some gorgeous matching veggie pillows in case you can’t get enough of your greens. But if it’s the proteins you’re missing, the fried egg hat is the one for you! Just too cute – I mean look at that aubergine baby – so cute it hurts!

A golden tooth + a giveaway

October 13, 2014

A couple of weeks ago Anya lost her first tooth. I cried. I’m not normally emotional and have always enjoyed watching her grow up. When the baby years passed and she turned in to a toddler, I felt nothing but joy and delight in seeing her grow and develop. But this milestone was different. This milestone felt like my baby was no longer a baby and was really growing up (sob). Where have these five years gone?

I was soon distracted by Anya’s huge excitement right from the moment she realised she had a wobbly tooth. The tooth fairy is something she has desperately been waiting for and wishing everyday that she would lose a tooth for over a year. More than Santa, the tooth fairy has totally captured her imagination. So that night, along with the tooth fairy pillow loaded with cash and tucked under her pillow, I sprinkled some glitter around her bed. That moment of waking up and discovering the tooth had gone from the pillow and finding some money there instead was priceless – the look on her face was pure delight and amazement. She was jumping up and down and shouting ‘the tooth fairy came, the tooth fairy really came’. And the bonus was finding this adorable golden tooth pillow which she loves. Anya may be growing up but she’s still a child full of wonder and imagination and that is something I hope will stay with her for a long time no matter how old she is.

To celebrate this big milestone I wanted to do something special. So I partnered with Oeuf NYC to give one lucky reader the chance to win this adorable handmade golden tooth fairy pillow. Oeuf kindly sent one for Anya and there’s one for one of you too. The tooth is made of soft baby alpaca wool and has a little pocket at the back to put money in. Anya loves her tooth and has been sleeping with it under her pillow every night since she got it. And I have to agree – it’s so sweet. Oeuf’s tooth fairy pillow is the original and the best and so it had to be this one. Have your kids lost a tooth yet? How did you feel with the first one?

To enter to win this golden tooth, here are the details:

The prize: The winner picked at random will win one Oeuf NYC golden tooth fairy pillow.

Wonderful winter woolies…

September 18, 2012

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.
