Waterproof Jacket Edit

October 15, 2018 Emma Paton

Rainwear has really upped its game recently and there are some fun shapes and colours to brighten up those rainy days and wet school runs. I’m a long term fan of Swedish brand Stutterheim, (and have owned their Stockholm jacket for 4 years) who make handmade rubberised cotton rainwear and are well worth a look.

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...

IMG_2795.JPG

As Violet recently turned two we decided it would be a nice idea to update her room. With the last blog post on the kids rooms being so popular, I thought it would be nice to share any updates we do to them. I know you're probably thinking why are we making over her room as it's already so great as it is...

Kimono Love

June 30, 2017 Emma Paton

Kimonos are definitely having a bit of a moment right now! I am loving how comfortable, easy to style and versatile they are, plus you just instantly feel feminine in them. I've been wearing mine as a top, under dungarees and dungaree dresses, with denim shorts, skirts, skinny jeans, heels, open as a lightweight summer jacket and I'm hoping in August I can wear it over my bikini as a cover up on the beach on holiday.

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.
