HOALEN – This French brand takes it’s inspiration from the lifestyle surrounding the local sea culture, in particular, swell sports (think surfing and sailing). The range was launched for adults but they have a small selection for the minis. Soft hoodies in washed out colours, to give them that ‘worn at the beach for years’ kind of feel and board shorts to match mum or dad’s.
If you are getting yourself ready for the oncoming chill that is Fall and Winter and are looking “that” coat or jacket for your little hipster – then check out this video from Burberry. Its all about Heritage outerwear with duffle coats and capes, dark navy pea coats and bright puffa vests and wool boulsons. Our favourites – the bright orange wool coat, the yellow puffa and the orange vinyl jacket, which looks like it came straight off the men’s runway. We can’t wait to get our hands on some….
With balloons, bunting and a polka-dot taxi cab, it looked like the ultimate children’s party. But the invitees were no ordinary guests.Stella McCartney invited celebrities and their offspring to check out mini-me models unveil her Spring/Summer collection.
Stella was joined by friend Kate Moss and her daughter Lila Grace and models Laura Bailey and Liberty Ross, who also brought their children.
The event, held at Sunbeam Studios in Ladbroke Grove, showcased denim, stripes and even a military-style jacket perfect for little fashionistas not on a budget.
The line, which caters for 0-12-year-olds, features pea coats, stripey cashmere-blend knits and darling yellow wellies for splish-splashing around in puddles.
‘As a brand with so many working parents in the team, I wanted to create a fun, desirable, wearable kid’s collection that was affordable,’ she explained.
‘I feel all the timeless children’s wear is reserved for the expensive brands and that did not sit well with me.
‘Kids and parents, aunts, uncles, friends should all be able to have access to Stella McCartney Kids clothes.’
The range start at £14 for a baby T-shirt to £130 for a coat.

In the Maori language, nohi nohi means, “to be small”. In Japan, Kodomo Nohi, one of the most popular national holidays, is a day to celebrate children. And, in Hawaiian, Nohi means brightly colored and vivid. So, that makes a Nohi Kid a bright, vivacious little thing just oozing with personality. All Nohi products are made from Bamboo
(just a reminder: Bamboo is known to be the fastest naturally growing plant on earth, making it renewable and sustainable. It is able to reproduce and grow without fertilizers or pesticides. Bamboo’s growth characteristics enable it to spread rapidly across large areas and this improves soil quality in degraded and eroded areas of land)
And all of their fabric is 100% skal-certified organic cotton and fiber from bamboo, pre-shrunk, and ready for your washer and dryer. They also use low-impact and water based inks for printing and comply with all CPSIA guidelines and regulations to ensure that all products are lead-free.
We asked Janel Jones, owner of Nohi Kids a bit about her new collection…………..
“My inspiration for this collection (and really, all collections) is simply kids. Kids move, play, jump, and get dirty all day. I wanted to create a line that let them do all of these things with ease and comfort and without restriction. Really, Nohi clothes are casual basics with a fashionable twist. They can run and play and be on the best dressed list. It was also important to me to be as eco-friendly as possible while still incorporating bright colors and modern graphics.”
Spin Baby was started by Melbourne mum Sarah Garbuio after the birth of her first child. Sarah is a keen cyclist and enjoys spending time with her family exploring the many bike paths and rail trails her home town has to offer.
Sarah says “My kids see their parents decked out in lycra and want to look just like us. It’s not just about being comfortable, it’s about embracing cycling with your kids and becoming positive role models. You can buy football jumpers for kids, so why not cycling jerseys?”
