Last month while I was in India I went to see my cousin’s baby who is just 6 months old. She was absolutely adorable with her huge eyes and cheeky little grin. While I was there she was taken in for a bath and came out wearing a simple striped bodysuit looking all fresh and smelling of that wonderful ‘just bathed baby smell’. I don’t often get broody but that special baby smell did it to me! I realised that it’s been a while since I’ve featured something purely for the tiniest little ones and so I went looking and couldn’t resist these delicious onesies and booties. Simple stripes and polka dots in the freshest colours make for lovely Spring essentials. They’re made by Nature Baby exclusively for J. Crew and are made of organic cotton and 100% chemical free materials so are perfect for a babies delicate skin. If only I had seen these before I think I would have been unable to resist the the bright yellow polka dot booties and matching onesie.

Sunny yellow things…
August 28, 2012
A few weeks ago I wrote about some pretty pink things because my daughter informed me that pink was the best colour in the world. She then told me purple was a close second and so I felt inspired to share some lovely lilac things with you. Now she has informed me that yellow is the third best colour so today I have my sunny yellow finds for you. I hadn’t planned for this to become a little series but you’ve told me you enjoy it and I love putting it together so why not:
1. Love the bold yellow and white combo of this stylish origami light shade.
2. How cute are these handmade little newborn booties for boy or girl.
3. A sweet little knitted doll perfect as a clutch toy or pram companion for a baby.
4. Peach and mango popsicles with a burst of bright pink raspberry… delicious and healthy!
2011 Christmas gift guide: Newborns and babies
November 7, 2011
My next Christmas 2011 gift list is here and today it’s all about gifts for newborns and little babies. While newborns don’t need much more than milk and their mama’s, it’s always so nice to spoil and indulge them and Christmas is the best excuse. There are some wonderful goodies out there for babies, so I searched the web and found you some of the absolutely best little toys, gifts and clothes for the newest arrivals in your life. Here’s the lovely list (almost making me want a newborn again!):
1. Beautiful liberty print bib and booties gift set by the gorgeous French label Eponime.
2. Soft and so cuddly is this floppy little sheep by Les Petites Emplettes. From Smallable.com
3. Cute little body with a simple bunny drawing by WoWo.
4. A quirky royal blue elephant musical toy by the colourful Clemence G boutique.
5. A book full of bold black and white images – perfect eye candy for little babies. Called Mesmerised it’s by Katey Love.
6. Soft and beautiful are these gorgeous cotton quilts by Ketiketa. From Smallable.com
7. Gorgeous ruby red booties by the stylish Album Di Famiglia. From Little Fashion Gallery
8. Soft and pretty cloth blocks for decoration or to play with by Mimilou. From Orfeo Design.
9. Gorgeous little hanging musical toy for the pram, car seat or cot. Made by one of my favourite stores – Esthex.
10. What an adorable little vest sweater with a mustache on it. Love it. This is one you’ll have to knit yourself but you’ll find the pattern here. Lucky for me, my mother in law is a fab knitter so I’m definitely getting one of these.*
