Looking forward to Winter…
June 7, 2013
Finally, finally we have a hint of summer here in London. The sun is shining and we are wearing short sleeves and sunglasses. While I am celebrating the desperately awaited arrival of the sun, there is one Autumn/Winter collection I can’t resist sharing with you right now. I know chunky knits and woolies are the furthest things from our minds but once you’ve seen this collection you’ll wish winter was back!
Paade Mode is a newish Latvian brand that makes clothes for boys and girls aged 0-8 years. I’ve pictured a selection from the girls range but there are equally cool knits and more for the boys too. In the girls collection I love the deep emerald greens and ruby reds that perfectly compliment the more neutral tones. And the chunky knits paired with sheer, delicate skirts looks so cool. The leggings in the collection too deserve a mention. The Autumn/Winter collection like all the other collections, is designed to be dressed up or down so the clothes can be worn for an occasion or as everyday wear. I visited Paade Mode’s site a few days ago because I wanted to order this dress for my daughter from the current collection. But now that I’ve seen this newest collection, I don’t think I’ll be able to stop at just one dress! This collection isn’t available yet but should be towards the end of the Summer. Have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine!
Knitted by hand…
December 18, 2012
Four years ago on an absolutely freezing December night, my daughter made her entry in to this world. I can still so clearly remember how bitterly cold it was and it didn’t help that we had to head to the hospital at 2 am! While I worried about a lot of things that night, the one thing I didn’t have to worry about was keeping the baby warm because the previous week my mother-in-law had presented me with a bagful of hand-knitted woolies. I had beautiful cardigans, sweaters, hats and booties in a range of colours and besides feeling prepared for the cold, I couldn’t think of anything nicer to put my newborn in.
Fast forward 4 years and my mother-in-law still makes the most delightful knits for my daughter every winter. I think every child deserves some hand-knitted clothes and that’s why I wanted to share these by Bieq as they are some of the nicest hand knits I’ve come across. Bieq is a Dutch brand that sells only hand knitted clothes and accessories made from pure merino wool. They specialise in baby hats but also make other clothing items for babies. The colours are lovely and bold and the styles are nostalgic and classic. I have touched and seen these clothes up close and they really don’t disappoint. You’ll find this lovely range at Line + Liv.
Cool chunky knits…
October 15, 2012
Come the winter months, I love throwing on a chunky knit with a pair of skinny jeans and knee high boots. It’s an effortless everyday look that works every time. I wanted to create a mini version of this look for my daughter but finding nice chunky knits for kids proved to be impossible until I stumbled across Cotton and Milk. A relatively new line of {mainly} knitwear for kids, there is an understated style about these pieces mixed with a touch of vintage which I’m loving. Created by British designer Justine Glanfield who is based in Brussels, Cotton and Milk make stylish knits for both boys and girls. Apart from the wonderful clothes, I love the creative way in which they’re presented too. You can see and buy their current collection over at Line + Liv {a great boutique for kids clothes} or visit Cotton and Milk to see previous collections too.
