baby style

I was sharing the excitement of my first Boden delivery with a mum-to-be friend when she said ‘Well you’re not a proper mummy ’til you wear Boden though, right?!’.  Whether or not that’s the case, it only took me 18 months of motherhood to get there and I may now …

Tights for boys? Oh yes. Friends with baby sons have often told me of their frustration at trying to find non-girly tights for their little men.  It’s not just girls whose socks get pulled off or fall down and trousers that ride up exposing little legs and toes to the cold, boys suffer too! …

Cheap and cheerful childrenswear is the way forward when it comes to grubby tots, if my Coco Lily is anything to go by.  But cheap doesn’t mean you have to lose out on style. Tesco have it spot on for little girls this Autumn with their on trend tapestry print collection.  …

Today sees the launch of Jools Oliver’s Little Bird nursery …

I recently visited Danish company Bestseller for a sneak peek at their Autumn Winter collections. I never have got used to the whole Christmas in July thing you experience when attending press previews a season early but seeing as it’s been so wet it didn’t seem so bad! Now you may …

Another style challenge, another great excuse to inspire some outfits. Next’s Mummy Stylist competition asked for an outfit from their childrenswear range up to £500.
