Original Sister

Although here at BG we’re still dedicated fans of popping brights and quirky prints, there’s definitely been an increasing trend of understated, high quality staples that can of course be mixed with more vibrant accessories. Original Sister is a recently launched clothing brand for girls 2-12 years with a simple concept of neutral, contemporary basics [...]

Autumn Winter from Frugi

Since their re-brand from ‘cut4cloth’ a few years ago; Cornish clothing brand Frugi has gone from strength to strength. Their Autumn Winter 2011 collection is, in my opinion, one of their most desirable to date and I wouldn’t be surprised if it saw them catapult in popularity. Their collection heavily features applique with strong animal [...]

ilovegorgeous baby

Ilovegorgeous have been creating the most, well, gorgeous clothing for girls since they launched in 2007. They are the first and last word in dreamy dresses all made from the finest fabrics. Until this season their clothing started at two years but Lucy and Sophie knew we didn’t want to wait two whole years to [...]

Hello ‘Whitby’! New Nautical Wallpaper by Mini Moderns

I’m all for a bit of nautical, seaside vibe in kids rooms but most of the time it crosses the line into twee…until Mini Moderns worked their design magic. Meet ‘Whitby’, a nautical print inspired by 1950s linocuts, featuring fishing boats and seagulls on the rocky seas. Part of their ‘Day Tripper’ collection which is [...]

Tootsa MacGinty

I spotted Tootsa MacGinty over at MumsRock recently and was all over them like a rash asking questions and begging for pictures. Luckily they were exhibiting at Bubble and so Lucy and I were able to drool over the whole collection in person. Like you and I, clothing designer Kate Pietrasik was dismayed by the [...]

Cool Clothing: Dandy Dodo

I love bumping into people who know BG especially when I’ve forgotten to take off my name badge and am on a London tube! This is how I met the founder of Dandy Dodo, a fashion brand for kids featuring offbeat, edgy, but very much wearable and fun pieces in a limited edition collection (30 [...]

Hucklebones

We heart Hucklebones here at BG. Every time I meet up with the young designers Zoe and Dan at shows, their clothes elicit a sigh of satisfaction, longing, and a desire to run off with the collection. Less than 2 years old, this British label features an exquisite collection of clothing for girls aged 2-4 [...]

Lulu & Nat Rainbow Bedding

The moment I clapped eyes on duo Lulu & Nat’s stunning hand block printed 200 thread count Indian cotton bedding at the Top Drawer retail tradeshow early last year, I was a captivated, dedicated fan. Since then, they’ve gathered quite the following and have now added some new delights to their collection including this stunning [...]

Bold & Noble Mammals Print

I’ll readily admit to having a fetish for Bold & Noble’s strikingly modern screen prints – their Creatures A-Z was the first artwork I bought for our nursery (having cunningly persuaded Jane to make it in Poppy Red for me), closely followed by Birds Around Britain in Azure Blue. They look fabulous in pale wooden [...]

Catherine Tough

Although I’m really hoping for a home birth, I’m packing the dreaded hospital bag just in case. It’s all been fairly straightforward, apart from one item that crops up on all the lists. I’m told your feet can get chilly in labour so a pair of warm socks is a must. Not being a sock [...]

I’m really looking forward to checking out the soft toy range from The Grateful Thread, a design duo (and couple) who have created a range of home accessories and jewellery from vinyl and have recently expanded into edgy soft toys in the form of their guitar softies come pillows and their ‘Monsters of Rock’ collectible [...]

Kids.modern Roundup

Yesterday, the boyf, the bambino and I braved the cold and headed over to Dulwich to check out some of the finest of modern design for kids. In stark contrast to Bubble which is trade only, there were ‘little people’ all over the place with frazzled, distracted parents like us following close behind them. The [...]
