Went to Bubble, the kids wear trade show on Sunday to see whats new for winter 2013. All I can say is WOW!!! So many lovely new things for the tiddlers. Met many gorgeous people and came away wanting almost everything. here are some of my highlights:
Beau Loves - I have talked about this London brand before but their winter collection stood out a mile. Fantastic graphics using a bunny & owl motifs, great colour palette staying true to their roots using greys & black with highlights of mustard & gold and pops of bring red. The prints are very strong and as always most of the collection i unisex. I will be purchasing most of the collection for my 2 girls.
The other exciting news from Beau Loves is their new range of childrens bedding. Using the harlequin print, stripe and mask print from this season & last printed onto white cotton the bed was a real show stopper.

The british brand Hucklebones looked delightful. Beautiful girls fashion with luxurious fabrics and pretty details such as peter pan collars, bows and vintage inspired silhouettes. Stunning!

Grubbies stayed true to their roots expanding their traditional dungarees range with some cut-off shorter shapes and beautiful woodland printed scarfs.

I love a party!! Mine, my children's, my husbands, friends, family, anyones. I love the planning, the themes, the little details that make it special, organizing the food, the cake, all of it. So in my excitement of planning my babies 1st birthday (this isn't until April) I came across this little gem of a website. Carousel is just lovely, it sells some beautiful toys, party bag toys, vintage style sweets, and lovely party tableware.

My 3 year old received a lovely gift from a friend. It is a little 8cm doll with a lion hat. The Japanese dolls are called 'Sonny Angels' and there are lots to choose from although when you purchase them you have to do so in a blind fashion. The same as a child buys swap-cards in a pack and not know if they have the ones they need or will swap the doubles with their friends. You can however chose a doll from a specific range to avoid duplicates where possible. My daughter plays with her doll but I want to collect these little beauties and line them all up on a shelf.
Too cute not to ...
You can buy the Sonny Angel dolls from Toyella.com

So I have been M.I.A again. What with the Christmas chaos, new year madness, then onto my birthday and finally back to work after maternity leave I have finally come back to my blog - or online diary as I like to think of it.
So the next few posts will be the updates, filling in the gaps for the last months crazy antics.
Watch this space ...
