I've wanted to write about British kids brand Poco Nido for a while now as they make the cutest, colourful and fun baby and kids shoes around. They are really simple, comfy and practical and we love their bold prints. They also make perfect gifts, all shoes come in a recyclable postal tube box which also makes for handy baby storage.
Read moreAW16 Tiba + Marl
We've been a fan of Tiba + Marl bags from the moment they launched a year ago. In fact we wrote about them nearly exactly a year ago, click here! Finally they have cracked the nappy bag market to offer stylish, cool, trend driven bags that are still practical and have life beyond babies and children. They are now even being stocked in Selfridges!

Read moreCoco Roses Apparel
We discovered Coco Roses Apparel on Instagram when we first noticed their supercool Adult Frida Kahlo Sweatshirt.

Read moreAugust Wishlist
Hello August, you are well and truly in full swing and perhaps going a tad too fast. It's always a strange month - warm and sunny (hopefully), lots of people away and the shops are starting to fill with lovely AW16 goodies (even though we can't begin to imagine putting sweaters back on).
Read morePetites Pattes Baby Socks
I always get asked - what are the best baby socks that don't fall down and off little feet really quickly? Unfortunately it's the nature of little feet to push socks off and be constantly wriggling around, so the answer is 'there is no such thing,' to my knowledge, anyway (you can use these sock ons to help keep them on but they aren't for everyones taste).
Read moreOur Favourite Unisex Kids Brands
We've always been big fans of unisex clothing here at Finlay Fox. In fact it's one of the reasons we started the blog, we were on the lookout for clothes that broke from the tradition of blues and pinks. We love the fact that unisex means gender neutral clothes, lots of stripes, grey marls and black with pops of colour and fun print.

So over the summer we have been testing out a lovely Cub bag that we were kindly sent from Bax & Bay. It's a multi-functional luxury changing bag that also acts as a feeding pillow and carry support. It's made of supersoft faux suede that is waterproof, stain resistant and hypo-allergenic, has a fully adjustable strap and fits across any buggy or pram.
Read moreMuzzies
Muslins - probably the number one most useful and versatile item to invest in when you have a baby or to give someone as a new baby gift. In our household they are everywhere and they are called 'babies', don't ask me why, Finn came up with it and that's just what they've always been called!

Read moreJem & Bea Clutch
I'm slightly obsessed with a good clutch pouch! As a mum you constantly have 'stuff overload' to contend with - everything from teething toys, keys and phone to make up, snacks and baby wipes. A constant sorting and packing and unpacking of a bag on a daily basis, it can be hard to find anything!
