My four little monkeys... in Imps&Elfs
Imps&Elfs is by far my favourite Dutch jeans brand. I just love the way their trousers fit -- they're just so flattering, and so cool! My kids also find them the most comfortable ones to wear -- they pick them out of the clean laundry basket before they're even folded and on the shelf. Imps&Elfs recently designed ...

Cut-off Jeans
This is such a simple idea that I am almost a bit embarrassed to write a post about it, but I was so chuffed with my discovery about how to make my girls some shorts that I am going to share anyway. My children, like everybody's children, grow way too quickly, and at the beginning of this ...

ESP No1, jeans the way they should be
I have been a fan of ESP No1 since their very first collection. They make nice, simple, unisex jeans without anything too trendy or fancy about them. Their Spring/Summer collection included cute cotton tees which I quickly snatched up for my kids, and this season they've made some great Grandpa Cardigans which are so cool. ...

Ada Ada Tights
I don't think there is anything more frustrating in life than waking your child up in the morning, trying to get her to dress in a hurry in order to get her to school on time... and then being told: "I don't like that outfit!" This is not a debate to be had at 7.30 ...

Super skinny jeans...
My daughter inherited my long and skinny legs. Now, I understand that long and skinny legs shouldn't be complained about, but most women know that there's a downside to everything (am I not right, curvy girls?). Well, the downside to having long and skinny legs is that it's very hard to find long and skinny ...

Diesel Straight Leg Jeans from Mini Wardrobe
My second son gets all the hand-me-downs from his older brother, which means that every single pair of jeans he gets comes with holes in the knees. Poor kid. I recently got him a brand new pair of Diesel jeans (pictured) from the newly launched webshop, Mini Wardrobe... and now at least his knees are ...

ESP No.1
How cool are these jeans? I recently got them for my boys, and now I'm wishing they came in my size! The jeans are part of the Autumn/Winter collection at ESP No.1 -- a New York City-based company started by a husband and wife team who discovered a lack of great, well-made unisex clothing. The ...

Little Rivet Jeans
If I had to name one wardrobe staple that my kids and I cannot live without, it would have to be our denim jeans. Sure, there are items I love more but I doubt there is an item of clothing more durable, more versatile or more enduring than a pair of well constructed denim jeans. ...

Patch your jeans
My kids tear their clothes like it is going out of fashion. I'm constantly finding scuffed-up knees on their jeans, torn tops and unexplained holes on the seats of their pants! The fact is: kids are always going to tear their clothes. And while the ripped jeans look has never been my thing, I am ...

No rhinestones, no cargo pockets, no fade-marks... amen!
Is it just me or is it really difficult to find jeans for your kids that are simple, traditional blue-jeans?! (You know, ones that aren't overly styled in an attempt to be trendy). I don't like baggy, I don't like big pockets, I don't want some ugly design on them... and I don't really want ...
