These boots were made for walking…

November 18, 2014

Every Winter I buy Anya a pair of boots. I like to go for a style and colour that will go with everything so that I need only one pair. This year I discovered a new online shop full of the most adorable Winter boots for kids. Many of their styles and brands are ones that I haven’t seen in the UK so when they offered to send Anya a pair of boots my only problem was which pair to choose – they’re all so cute! In the end we chose the orange Ocra boots which Anya loves. They’re soft and are lined with fur making them very warm and cosy. The orange colour is bright enough to please a child but not so bright as to clash with everything. In fact the colour is quite unusual and hard to describe but I would call it a muted rusty orange that really can be worn with anything.

I adore little feet have the sweetest kids boot collection I’ve seen in a long time. Lots of boots for boys, girls and toddlers by many European designers including a gorgeous brand which is new to me – Zecchino d’Oro. The boys boots are no less stylish with colours ranging from soft greys to bright blues. The green boys boot with the jigsaw puzzle imprint is one of my favourites and for girls I love those navy ones with gold hearts. Aren’t they adorable? I adore little feet are having a mid-season sale at the moment so there’s 25% off everything till the end of the month and they ship worldwide. If you had to choose, which would you go for?

Duchess + Lion: Super cool kids clothes

July 29, 2014

This is probably one of the most exciting kids collections I’ve seen this year. It’s cool, it’s playful and unique. Because of this blog I get to see a lot of kids clothes and quite often they don’t offer anything different. Then I come across a new collection like this and it’s such a breath of fresh air. While the clothes are seriously cool, there is no compromise on comfort either.

Nearly all of the clothes are unisex which makes the clothes even more special. I would happily put a little boy or girl in to any of those baggy overalls (heck, I’d even put myself in to them if they came in my size!). My favourite of all the overalls has to be the one pictured at the top, with the big white cross. Cool doesn’t even begin to describe it. The dresses in the collection are no less striking especially that red and white checked one.

I love the way the kids have been photographed too by the talented photographer Abi Q. Nothing posed; just happy, playful kids doing what they normally do. There is something very natural and organic about these clothes so they don’t need any fancy backdrops and props to bring it to life. This collection by Duchess + Lion hasn’t launched yet but you don’t have too long to wait. It will be available from 4th of August to buy.

A floral Summer by Morley

June 3, 2014

Fresh florals, girly cuts and soft tones make up this dreamy Summer collection by Morley for kids. The styles, the colours and of course the floral prints all scream Summer to me. Morley is a stylish Belgian line of clothes for kids, both boys and girls. This collection is so fresh and pretty but still has an edginess that makes it really stand out. Apart from the beautiful clothes, I think their photography is so striking too.

Introducing Walking the Cat

April 28, 2014

Today I’m excited to introduce you to Walking the Cat, my newest sponsor and a very cool kids wear boutique from Germany. Walking the Cat are a new online shop filled with some of my favourite brands like Bobo Choses, Louise Misha, Soft Gallery, Tocoto Vintage and more. The founder Daria is crazy about kids fashion and it shows from her lovely selections.

Walking the Cat have clothes and accessories for boys, girls and babies. One of their standout brands for me is Little Titans who make cool and colourful tights for boys as well as girls. Who said tights are just for girls?! Walking the Cat are new so they’re still adding labels to their range and one of their latest additions is Buho, a gorgeous brand from Spain. While I have my favourites, all their brands are slightly unusual and very stylish yet very practical and comfy for kids too. Walking the Cat, just like the name suggests, is a fun store with a cool attitude and they deliver worldwide too.

Super chic swimwear…

May 10, 2013

A couple of months ago I was on a mission to buy my daughter a swimsuit. I kind of left it to the last minute so ordering online wasn’t an option and I also felt like a trip to the shops. I set off excitedly, dreaming of bright colours and stylish cuts and started wondering how I would choose just one swimsuit. I hit the first shop which was disappointing but I still had hope. Four shops later and I began to despair. The choice out there was really uninspiring, bland and boring. Maybe because the summer collections weren’t fully in or maybe because kids swimsuits are just designed to be dull. I had to buy something so I did but I went home feeling flat and disappointed. Then, last week I came across this new Spring Summer 2013 collection by Little Creative Factory and my faith in kids swim gear was fully restored! How gorgeous is this swimwear? I want it in my size, please.

Little Creative Factory is the creation of 2 Spanish mama’s who make swimwear, some clothes and lots of wonderful hats for kids. The 2 creative mums say they get their inspiration from observing the little things in life and from the enthusiasm, freshness and spontaneity of their little girls. I love the classic styles that ooze understated glamour and are just so darn chic! Amongst their offerings are some really adorable balloon-style drawstring tops, some cute baby bloomers and a hat collection that is just wow. All the clothes would make for perfect beachwear or just dreamy and chic summer wear. Little Creative Factory don’t yet sell online but you can contact them through their website to find out more. Next time I’m swimwear shopping for Anya, I know who’s door I’ll be knocking on.

Happy Friday guys and hope the sun shines for you this weekend!

Scattered little shapes…

May 1, 2013

A few days ago I came across some kids bedding by Oh My Kids from Belgium and I was smitten. Their simple aesthetic of lots of white with tiny bits of colour really appealed to me. Also, I just adore the random scattering of little shapes which extends across most of their designs. I need to start looking for new bedlinen for Anya soon, and this is definitely going on my shortlist.

I soon discovered that Oh My Kids also create handmade clothes for kids which include dresses, skirts, sweatshirts and leggings. I’m not normally a sweatshirts and leggings kind of gal but these ones are an exception. They’re so simple, stylish and fun. And that little balloon skirt… too cute!

And before I go, have you entered our fab giveaway?

Chic Italian style…

July 16, 2012

A few weeks ago I shared the brand new Tree House collection for babies by Anja Schwerbrock and what a collection it was… minimal, European style at it’s absolute best. Today I have another amazing baby and kids collection to share. It’s European, it’s minimal and ever so chic. From Italy, Minimu had me swooning from the second I laid eyes on their offerings which include beautiful dresses, tops, trousers, baby rompers and more.

The styles are simple often embellished with a subtle ruffle or a contrasting tie detail or even a sweet bow. Then there are the adorable polka dot prints in deep maroon, soft lilac and pale grey. The clothes look comfortable and easy to wear yet really pack a style punch. That’s exactly what kids clothes should be about. There’s no fuss here, just exquisite style that’s clean and effortless and very pleasing to the eye. Minimu don’t sell online but I’m sure you can contact them for stockists.

Dominique Ver Eecke: Quirky and playful kids clothes

November 14, 2011

While browsing the Spanish online boutique Nobodinoz, I discovered Dominique Ver Eecke. I was instantly drawn to the wonderful children’s clothes that this Belgian designer creates. The clothes are bright and colourful, the prints playful and fun with a vintage vibe running through the creations. On offer are quirky dresses, skirts and cardi’s for the girls and shirts and trousers for the boys. I’m loving that all the pieces are statement’s in themselves but still work beautifully well together. Truly unique stuff. The photography too deserves more than a mention. The settings, the backdrops, the colours, all of it comes together for a magnificent feast for the eyes. You can find Dominique Ver Eecke’s children’s collection at Nobodinoz or Zoenkids, both of whom have a different pieces and ship internationally.
