Cassandra Rhodin – the founder of Mini Rodini has put her playful spin on a selection from the adidas archives for kids aged 3m-6Y. Yes, you are very clever – I have 9 year olds – but I am going to shrink them, so you can still get behind me in the queue. This includes adidas‘ iconic Firebird track top, as well as classic pieces such as vests, bottoms and caps. At floor level ..read more

Valentines Day is fast approaching. Ugh. I mean all that heart, lovey dovey, kissy kissy yuck. And my bitterness has N.O.T.H.I.N.G. to do with my husband ALWAYS forgetting OK? Nothing. But let us nod to this ‘festival’ and talk about giving love in its purest form shall we? Charity. The House of Bonpoint (fave FAVE brand ‘o’ mine and my girls, but more in a window shopping way…) has collaborated with the charity CSAO (Compagnie du Senegal et d’Afrique de l’Ouest) to create a limited edition line of bags and pouches from Liberty fabrics used in the SS17 Bonpoint collec ..read more

You know that times are sad when you – aged in your, ahem ahem 30’s (plus a bit and a bit more) – have wardrobe envy of a 3 year old. Much like her mother, Kim, but with a much, MUCH smaller bottom – Little North West, is as we know, already a bit of a fashion icon. And as happens with normal kids aged two NEVER, this little girl was gifted a selection of custom made Balmain jackets by its creative director Olivier Rousteing. And they were so stylish, so dinky and sadly so not available to buy. But now, the Balmain designer has launched a fully fledged kids fashion line for SS17 and will show ..read more

Paying for carry bags these days is a thing. A thing we hate. So in come this raft of re-usable tote/carry bags made of cotton, often printed with fun and stylish messages. Good to go. Or are we? Let’ start with a conundrum. What to do when you cycle to work, pit stop at M&S to get supper, and then have to navigate balancing bags of shopping on your bike to go home and cook? Tote – Shmote. This, does not work. Notabag was born out of the creator’s Adnan Alicusic’s need for a functional yet eco friendly bag that could change from one situation to the next – just for situations li ..read more

I think there are certain things in life that you should indulge in. A good winter coat? Absolutely. Chocolate? Yes of course. The thing that I love to indulge the most in is homeware, I could browse the web for hours looking at interiors and furniture. Noe & Zoe have created a wonderful range of soft furnishings for your kids that both of you will enjoy.

If I’m honest – which as you well know I always am – often to the point of foot in mouth – but whatevs – I never would have believed I’d be writing a blog title like this. Marie Chantal X good old M&S? Who’s have thought it? But boy, is it a thing, and boy is it good. Look here. Marie-Chantal is married to Prince Pavlov of Greece. So we have that in common. We are both Princesses. Though obvs I’m not the real deal – it’s just a behavioural thing that I simply cannot help. But beyond that, she is the Founder and Creative Director of Marie-Chantal, her eponymous international childrens ..read more
