One of our favourite kids online boutiques, Hip Little People, recently turned one. We wrote about them on the blog last year as we love their edit of clothes and homewares for cool kids. They are stocking Beau Loves, a favourite unisex brand of ours and the lovely Lucy and Kelly from HLP sent us some pieces from the new range for the kids to wear.

Read morePoco Nido
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!

We love seeing new brands here at Finlay Fox HQ. The anticipation has been building for a while now about British kidswear fashion brand, Jax & Hedley, re-launching. We were lucky enough to get our hands on some of the new collection which we were kindly sent for the kids to wear. Yellow Lolly...
Read moreCoco Roses Apparel
We discovered Coco Roses Apparel on Instagram when we first noticed their supercool Adult Frida Kahlo Sweatshirt. We then fell in love with the story behind the brand, set up by Mimi, who's on a mission to spread love and change around the world with her positivity. Her tees, for adults and kids, share messages covering everything from discrimination, bullying, gender inequality, environmental sustainability to kindness...

They are smart, casual, comfy and cool all at the same time. In fact they are unisex so not just for boys. All hail the Kenzo Trousers from girlstalktoboys! girlstalktoboys is a new premium kidswear fashion brand, just launched and set up by mega mama Kelly Ekardt.
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.
Read moreBax & Bay Cub Bag
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 moreGirls High Street Picks
There are some amazing girls pieces hitting the high street stores at the moment. We wanted to share a few of our favourites with you. Current obsession is anything gingham, folk themed embroideries, soft cotton voile, denim collared dresses, soft prints, smock shapes and fun patch embroideries. Next, H&M and Zara are always turning out great pieces at amazing prices.

Boden have just launched some of their new season range and it's looking fab as ever. Here are a few of our favourite pieces from childrenswear and womenswear so far. As always we swear by leopard print, glitter, denim, stripes and easy dresses as the best investment pieces. I'm still waiting for the new womenswear dungarees to come out which were also high on my wishlist....happy shopping!
Read moreOlive Loves Alfie East
Olive Loves Alfie has always been our local kids' clothes store on Church Street in Stoke Newington, N16. It's been around for 9 years now and has stood the test of time, always stocking a cool edit of the best of British, Scandi and Spanish kids brands. I probably go in there once a week to have a look at all the beautiful clothes as they stock our favourites including Mini Rodini, Tootsa MacGinty and Saltwater Sandals.
Read moreBright Company X Selfish Mother PJ's
There are so many good collaborations going on at the moment, we love this new movement of team spirit and friendships happening in the world of fashion and kids brands! Did you see the Tiba & Marl X Selfish Mother tees and sweats they did together recently? Pure genius. They've gone and done it again but with another of our favourite brands - The Bright Company.

We love MotherShoppers! MotherShoppers are helping mums and mums to be dress in a practi-cool way. Here at Finlay Fox we are firm believers that becoming a mum does not mean losing your style conscious ways. It's about finding key pieces that work in your wardrobe for everyday wear and not having to think about what you need to put on in the morning.
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!
