If you drop by often, you’ll know I have a huge amount of love in my heart for Scandinavian kids fashion. Sometimes it’s understated, sometimes a bit edgy or quirky but always seriously stylish. My sponsor Scandinavian Minimall has the best of bunch at her online boutique where she brings us hugely covetable brands like Pale Cloud, Livly, Monamici, Norlie, Shirin Kids and so much more. The thinking behind Scandinavian Minimall is to bring us the best of Scandinavian style but that doesn’t mean just Scandi brands… it’s any brand that represents the whole Scandi style ethos.
Gabrielle, the mama behind the boutique has recently introduced a small toys and decor collection which includes Lucky Boy Sunday and Blafre, two brands that I adore. But this boutique is mostly about the delicious clothes it offers and their latest Spring Summer 2012 collection lives up to the high standards I’ve come to expect. I’ve visited a pop-up sale that Scandinavian Minimall had in London and I felt like a kid in a candy store. The clothes were just stunning and I couldn’t resist indulging! To check out the entire collection visit Scandinavian Minimall.
Last year Pale Cloud launched their first ever collection and what a collection it was. I’ve been eagerly awaiting their Spring/Summer 2012 collection which is here and it easily surpasses my high expectations. Pale Cloud is the creation of a Norwegian mama called Marion who’s had a penchant for fashion from a very young age. I love her little story where she explains that as a small girl she figured out if she got up early enough she could pick her own clothes before the adults could pick them for her. How sweet is that!
With the new collection, Marion has maintained the soft femininity that underlined the previous collection. What I love about her style is that it’s girly and feminine without any fuss. There are dresses, tops, shorts and jackets, mostly in soft, pale colours that I think any little girl would look super chic in. From my own experience, I bought my 3 year old a dress from the Autumn/Winter 2011 range and she never wants to take it off. If I let her, she would wear it every single day and I can’t really blame her because the compliments do keep flowing. Pale Cloud is a brand not to be missed so check out their collection and don’t be surprised if you want everything. You can also visit Scandinavian Minimall who have a selection and even have a few sale pieces from the previous collection.
Yesterday I went to a Scandinavian kids clothes shopping event hosted by Scandinavian Minimall. What can I say except ooh la, la! The threads on offer were just delectable and needless to say I got a bit carried away with the shopping. One of the brands that really stood out for me was Pale Cloud. I’d heard of them but hadn’t touched, seen, felt their clothes and when I did it was instant love. The fabrics are so soft, so lovely, the styles simple and elegant. There’s lots of gorgeous cashmere, some scrumptious silk and cottons on offer for babies and girls. Pale cloud was started by a Norwegian mama called Marion and this Autumn/Winter 2011 collection is her first and what a collection it is. To be honest, the pictures don’t do it the justice it deserves… you really need to see the pieces to fully appreciate their beauty. And in even better news, Scandinavian Minimall is having a fantastic sale so you can pick up these pieces at massive discounts… but there’s not much left so you’ve got to be quick.

Scandinavian Minimall is a new(ish) kids boutique, still in it’s first year. Started by talented mama Gabrielle Sprang from Sweden who now lives in the UK, Gabrielle was keen to bring cutting edge Scandi kids style to the UK. She has achieved just that by offering brands like Mini Rodini, Norlie, Swedish Hasbeens and Petite by Sophie Schnoor which represent the best of Scandi kids fashion. But Gabrielle doesn’t stop there. She also brings us brands that represent the whole Scandi style ethos even if they’re not from Scandinavia. In short, Scandinavian Minimall is a hot spot for mini fashion. It’s no secret that I’m a massive fan of Scandi style… they just seem to get it. The result is often effortless style that is simple yet stunning, very much like the dress we’re giving you a chance to win. You can visit Scandinavian Minimall to check out the rest of their beautiful collection.
