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 [...]

Little Stomper: A new hot shop for cool shoes

   How excited was I when my pal Claire decided to answer my prayers (and those of many others who fear the dull offering on the high street) by launching her own online boutique dedicated solely to cool, affordable shoes for kids! Shopping palpitations alert! With Little Stomper, Claire and her mother-in-law have put together [...]

Hot shop: Niddle Noddle

When I spied Kat’s mention of Niddle Noddle on her marvellous snow boots post I simply had to go and check it out. And what a treasure trove I uncovered. Established by London mamas Eilidh and Katrine, both on a quest to find something a little bit different for their children, the boutique’s ethos is to [...]

New goodness at Zid Zid Kids

Zid Zid Kids is one of my all-time favourite children’s design companies as you can tell from my Label Love post last year. I’ve been hanging out and checking back for new products ever since I discovered them. Marrakech-based due Julie and Moulay have been super-busy, decking out the kids’ space in the city’s new Four Seasons [...]

New Moccis designs

Hard to imagine during our mini heatwave, but the season of chilly tootsies is almost upon us. Here at BG, we don’t do cold feet, we do Moccis instead. We are huge fans of the ultra-toastie yet cool Swedish moccasins and so I was super-excited to spot that they have new designs in the shop. [...]

Bobux Shoes

  Bobux originate from New Zealand and are eco-friendly shoes which allow children’s feet to move naturally. The business started a couple of decades ago when Chris and Colleen could not find shoes which complimented the way their children wanted to move. They began to make their own shoes and today Bobux is global. Today [...]

UGG Concept Store at Step2wo in Selfridges

UGG have opened a concept store for their kids versions in the Step2wo children’s shoe concession in Selfridges. Featuring the largest selection of pint sized UGGs in Europe and with plans to roll out to the Birmingham and Manchester Selfridges over the next few months, it’ll no doubt be a destination for the fanatical.

High Tops by Katvig

  I love this time of year when all of the Autumn Winter stock is hitting the shelves. With the summer sales long gone it is high time for an influx of new season excitement. Top of my lust list are these brand new high tops from Katvig. They come in midnight blue and feature [...]

Hot Preview: Livie & Luca Autumn/Winter Shoe Collection

As affordable shoes for kids go, Livie & Luca are my favourite! Ever since I featured them a few months back, the girls have been asked so many times where their shoes are from. They’re charming, stylish, eco friendly, and totally blow apart the kids shoe market that veers sharply between being too twee and [...]

Puma DJ Juniors – making hip music with your feet

Normally I’m not keen on bells and whistles shoes for kids, but I couldn’t help but think how cool these Puma DJ Juniors are which feature three sensors for hip mini folk to make music with – check out the video. Think Funkmaster Flex rather than twee tunes so breathe out. Available exclusively from Step2wo [...]

Crocs Chameleons Translucent Clog

I didn’t think I’d succumb to getting Crocs for the girls but found that they became essential as a substitute for wellies during the summer as they weather everything including when you get trapped outside a theatre with hundreds of panicked people during a torrential storm at Disneyworld and have to walk (correction: wade) through [...]

Hot shop: Cool in Cloth

Barnstaple-based boutique Cool in Cloth was founded by Elizabeth Mason with the intention of giving ‘children children a better planet to inherit’. Consequently, you’ll find eco, organic and ethical clothing brands such as Aravore, Organics For Kids, Pili Pala, Frugi and PEA (Pure English Alpaca) stocked on the (virtual) shelves, plus Aden & Anais muslins [...]
