Olivier Baby and Kids, at the ShopUp this week!
Olivier Baby and Kids is one of my favourite places to find cosy cashmere products for the kids. Last winter Marlow lived in her little bonnet and all the kids had one of their snoods, each a different colour to keep things easy when bundling up before leaving the house. This year they've added hand-knitted pom-pom hats (with ...

Handknit jumpers and pompom hats from Babaà
We've just returned from a road trip to Amsterdam to see Esther and her family, and I'm having such a fun time looking at all the photos from our time together. Eight kids is a lot of little people to feed and bathe and entertain and clean up after... but it was so much fun! It's ...

Mormor currently has a team of over 130 women who are passionately knitting sweet and fashionable designs for a younger generation. I ...

(Those days are few here in London, so it is extra special when that happens!) The children's knitwear from Babaà is my favourite! Everything is hand made in Spain ...

A frog in the pocket...
Sometimes a new children's brand comes along that does something totally new and different. And these days, with all the many children's clothing labels out there, 'new and different' is not easy to do. But Elfie, a London-based brand started by two fashion designer sisters, does exactly that. Take one look at their beautiful photography ...

Smart jumpers!
So sweet, these cashmere jumpers by Les Enfantines from Clara de Paris! Made from a gorgeous quality cashmere, they are luxurious, soft and warm to start with. But what makes them really stand out are the interchangeable collar designs! You can remove the collars very easily (there are little buttons in the neck line) and ...

I recently discovered the Danish children's brand, FUB, which specialises in beautiful, organic cotton and wool knitwear for kids aged 6 mos to 8 years. I love the little details like elbow patches, wooden buttons, and clever accents of colour. I also love that many of the pieces can be worn by girls or boys ...

Madison Browne does cashmere
My husband and I joke that the upside to English weather is that you never have to switch out your winter wardrobe for your summer one, and you can wear cashmere all year long! (Seriously, yes -- summer is really that bad here.) Now, buying cashmere for your kids does seem a bit indulgent... but ...
