My Top M&S Picks for SS19

February 6, 2019 Emma Paton
solar-summer-14.jpg

Marks & Spencer is still my favourite go to high street store and a website I look at nearly every day! I think they make good quality stylish clothes at a reasonable price. For me they always nail everyday dressing with the right level of fashion and more recently have been my favourite place for dresses and shoes. The press days they put on are always a highlight and it’s so exciting to see what will be coming into stores and online in the coming months.

Don't Grow Up

May 8, 2018 Emma Paton
IMG_8516.JPG

I love discovering small, independent brands on social media and was really excited to see such amazing prints from Polish kids brand Don’t Grow Up on there. They are fairtrade and use organic fabrics and I like their ethos of staying a kid at heart. Their nautical prints - think mermaids, sailors submarines and fishes - are really fun and the shapes are modern and comfortable.

We've been going bananas for all the tropical vibes happening in kids swimwear this season! Bold colour stripes and retro detailing are also catching our eye - love the spots, ruffle necks, skirted swimsuits and surf sets. Now we just need the weather to improve again and the local paddling pool in Clissold Park to open.

Our Stylish Easter Staycation

April 16, 2018 Emma Paton
We visited an old fashioned sweetshop in the beautiful medieval town Rye (about 10 minutes drive from the house) and walked along cobbled streets to pick some holiday treats. Kids clothes detailed below.

A UK holiday with young kids is always appealing as you never have to travel too far or deal with flights, bag weight limitation and jet lag. It's nice to discover some great places that are conveniently on your doorstep or just a short drive away. However, the biggest issue for a week long UK break with kids is packing!

I love the colourful new lookbook, 'Serious about Peace', that Olive Loves Alfie have just released along with their SS18 ranges. It's styled by Ashlyn Gibson and photographed by Penny Wincer and has the most amazing beldi rugs (which I am currently obsessed with) as backdrops. Peace and Love seem to be a consistent resounding message...

Halloween Edit

Halloween is once again upon us. With a 4 year old the pressure is on this year to really get involved with the trick or treating in our neighbourhood which is pretty epic! The effort some people go to with their costumes is impressive and as usual we will be taking the easy route with a shop bought outfit (one year I will be more original!) with face paint always does the trick.

Bohemian Kids Brand - Apolina

I'm a complete sucker for embroidery, ever since a trip to Mexico when I was 22 and the brightly embroidered smocks of Oaxaca caught my eye. There has been a lot of embroidery around the last couple of years and the bohemian look has been a big trend we have all bought into.
