Hot shop: Polly & Joe
January 23, 2012 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
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
January 18, 2012 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
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 [...]
Hot shop: Imp Kids
December 21, 2011 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
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 [...]

Hot shop: Niddle Noddle
November 16, 2011 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
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 [...]

Stop the presses – there’s a new Nordic boutique of fabulousness on the block. Hei Moose was established by Finnish mama Annika to inject a little Scandi chic into the wardrobes of lucky UK children. It’s a tightly edited selection of goodies – you’ll find a couple of favourite names here (Smafolk, DUNS Sweden, and [...]
New goodness at Deluna Kids
October 25, 2011 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
You may remember we featured Deluna Kids‘ fab pom pom poncho back in December last year. Now we bring news of the brand spanking new autumn/winter collection which features a host of loveliness for little ones (up to the age of seven). I’m loving the vibrant retro florals of this trapeze dress, £42, which is [...]
Monster Supplies
October 18, 2011 by Myf · Leave a Comment
Hoxton residents have recently seen the arrival of a fantastical new retail outlet on their streets: Monster Supplies. If your child is a reluctant eater, but inclined to a certain gory bent, this may well be your salvation. He might not eat your meals, but would he consider brain jam, pickled eyeballs or perhaps a [...]

Now, I know I’ve asked you to do this before but, seriously this time, hide my credit card, for (be still my beating heart) H&M’s chicer sister COS is finally online! We told you about the gorgeous spring/summer pieces in stores and I’m lucky enough to have a branch on my doorstep, but for some [...]
Hot shop: Hello Bubba!
September 29, 2011 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
Hide my credit card! I’ve happened upon yet another haven of fantabulousness in Hello Bubba. The online boutique was created by Natasha Fellas who previously worked in the fashion industry. It’s all about the brands here and, boy, have they got some good ones. Donna Wilson, Coq en Pate, Lucky Boy Sunday, Anorak, April Showers, [...]
Hot Shop: Mes Habits Chéris

Happy to bring you another shopping opportunity from across the Channel. Mes Habits Chéris is an emporium of delights stocked with familiar French brands Le Toy Van, Lalé and Mimilou, plus BG Euro faves Kidsonroof, Bakker Made with Love, Isak and Sukie. There is a lot of extremely covetable stuff on this site – I’d recommend [...]
Hot shop: Burp!
Hurrah for another online boutique and yay for it being British. Burp! is the Hampshire (Farnborough, to be exact)-based brainchild of Kate & James Hayden-Ellis who, like so many parents these days, were bored with the traditional baby offerings and took matters into their own hands. The result is a small but lovely selection of goodies [...]
Hot Shop: Little Home
August 16, 2011 by Lucy · Leave a Comment
I do so love discovering a new online shopping destination and Geneva-based boutique Little Home is one such place. Featuring furniture, toys and accessories for small people, there are goodies from big brands such as Vilac, Moulin Roty and Momoll, labels we love (think Atsuyo et Akiko, Donna Wilson, Famille Summerbelle) and new names like [...]
