Little Mashers Chalk + Tees

A t-shirt you can draw on? What child isn’t going to love that? New from Little Mashers are these fab ‘Chalk + Tees’ (see what they did there?) emblazoned with blackboard designs on the front that can be wiped clean and drawn on over and over again. There are four designs to choose from – [...]

Label Love: Scotch R’belle & Scotch Shrunk

Dutch label Scotch & Soda have been around since the 80s but they’re definitely re-emerging on my radar with their new mini peeps collections, Scotch R’belle for girls and Scotch Shrunk, mini versions from the mens collection. Mini adult clothing is normally synonymous with ‘inappropriate’, but there are no such concerns here – if anything [...]

Hot shop: Line + Liv

Over to Germany this afternoon for trop-stylish online boutique Line + Liv. Little Red Stuga, Wovenplay, Fine Little Day, Mini A Ture and Lucky Boy Sunday – a wish list of our super-quirky favourites sit alongside new-to-me European collections from BOdeBO, Théluto, Les Zigouis, +++BB and Bieq and funky Brit brands Jessie & James and [...]

Label Love: Sture & Lisa

With baby number two due in June, I figured I should get reacquainted with all the coolest labels for littlies *rubs hands with glee*. LoveIt LoveIt LoveIt is one of my go-to sites for funky Scandi collections and, sure enough, there I discovered the fabulous Sture & Lisa from Sweden (where else?). Fair-trade, organic cotton, [...]

Hot New Clothing Range from Kitschy Coo

Fresh and fabulous this February, Kitschy Coo has just released a hot new line of clothing. Made from bright and funky Scandi fabrics (which you can also buy separately), the range has launched with pants, tops and the promise of dresses to follow.   With clouds, stars, elephants, hippos and happy mushrooms all against bright [...]

Bubble highlights: sneak peek

(Clockwise, from top left): Nadadelazos jungle pants, Olive Loves Alfie paint colours, Dandy Star cushion Nat and I spent the day at Bubble London yesterday, seeking out the most swoonsome new goodies for autumn/winter and helping to judge the Stand Out stand design competition (well done, Pili Pala!). We’ll be reporting back on hot new [...]

Little Red Stuga special-edition Bu! play blanket

I’ve long been a fan of Little Red Stuga‘s fabulous play blanket, Bu!, and now there’s even more reason to love it. LRS has collaborated with another one of our favourites, Fine Little Day, to produce this special edition, featuring an American Indian design, created by FLD’s Elisabeth Dunker. Great for imaginative play, as a [...]

Hot shop: Polly & Joe

I have friends (a couple) called Polly & Joe, so I liked this online store before I’d even seen what they sold. And what it is is a small but perfectly formed collection of toys, clothes, art, nursery decor and changing bits from a few well-curated labels. Think toys from Ferm Living, tops and bodysuits [...]

Hot shop: I Dream Elephants

I still can’t quite believe that we haven’t featured the wonderful I Dream Elephants as a Hot Shop before. This is literally a dream online retail destination, featuring, as it does, so many of our favourite labels (think Bobo Choses, Ej Sikke Lej, Popupshop and Smafolk) alongside less familiar but equally fabulous names: Inge van [...]

All Hail the New Puddle Jumping Champions: The Splats

  Keeping things under my hat is one of my talents but it pains me not to share the goodies with you immediately! One launch I have been waiting for with baited breath this last year is The Splats. A brand new concept in footwear for wet weather set to knock wellies off the must-have [...]

Tootsa MacGinty SS12

    Next week sees the launch of Tootsa MacGinty’s second collection and after a strong first season all eyes will be on the new season clothing. True to form the new collection is a range of clothing designed for children to look like children. The unisex and hand-me down concept remains strong with all [...]

Red Urchin organic clothing

  I do love a new clothing label discovery. Red Urchin, founded by London mum Beth Bourrelly, consists of a small collection of tees and babygros in four shades with a variety of funky motifs – think penguins, robots, owls, dinosaurs. I particularly like the whale romper, £19.95, top, and the charcoal grey flying saucer [...]

Ava & Luc organic clothing

Ooh, I wish I’d discovered these while I was compiling my Christmas pyjamas post. London-based label Ava & Luc was established by Janice Rokita and Vicki Leaver to address their irritations with children’s clothing (wishy washy colours, itchy labels, too small necklines). The capsule collection of PJs, playsuits and long-sleeved t-shirts is ethically produced in [...]

Hot buy: H&M £2.50 sweatshirt

Trust those generous peeps at H&M to come up with the ultimate bargain in the austere month of January. These bright and stripy jersey sweatshirts have more than a touch of the Polarn o Pyrets about them and come in six colourways, although purchases are limited to two per customer (spoilsports). I’m going for turquoise [...]

Hot shop: Imp Kids

  Hide the credit card, I’ve found some serious shopping temptation in the form of ImpKids. Founded by Liz Marsh, the store is the exclusive UK stockist of Swedish brand Villervalla which, I’m sure you’ll agree after a quick glance at these pictures, is completely fabulous. The site is pretty much a one-stop shop, stocking everything [...]
