Five festive styling tips
Here are our top styling tips for girls for the festive season!
#1 Party party party dresses
Of course this has to be number one! You can't survive the party season without a brilliant dress. Our Freya dress is designed to be dressed up all down so add a few festive accessories (see below) & your party shoes and dance!
#2 Fantastic accessories
The festive season is a great opportunity to have fun with accessories, colourful tights, beautiful hair accessories & perfect hats, scarves and gloves.
We have a lovely range of co-ordinating grosgrain hair accessories available online and our Coco scarves complete any outfit perfectly and can be tied at the front, or the back for younger children.
For perfect ribbed tights we recommend Verity Jones or for babies and toddlers You Are Small have a fabulous range in every colour imaginable!
#3 A great pair of boots
Wellies are a must-have but we also think a great pair of smart boots are essential for Winter dressing. Here are a couple of our favourites...
#4 Cosy knitwear
Knitwear this season is made from soft and warm merino lambswool in the prettiest winter colours. Our striped Chloe trousers are perfect for snow days or cold days at home tucked up with a good movie and a bucket of popcorn and our Charlotte cardigan is perfect to throw on top of any outfit for an extra warm layer!
#5 The warmest baby blanket
These are our top tips for girls but for babies we have just one essential for the festive season, our woven lambswool baby blankets.
The size is perfect for swaddling newborns or for the Moses basket and is the width of most standard cots. Lovely and warm but lightweight and not too large it’s also a great size for prams or pushchairs and perfect for Christmas holidays and winter car journeys.

The version pictured in our winter check fabric is full of festive colours, berry red & forest green, but also perfect to wear the rest of the winter through. It matches perfectly with our Chloe cardigan in navy & cherry, and for Christmas day we have co-ordinating grosgrain hairbands to add a special finishing touch, much more stylish than a paper hat!

Christmas Fairs 2015
With just over a week to go until our first Christmas Fair we thought we better let you know where we will be popping up over the next couple of months...
It's hard to think about Christmas when it is still relatively warm outside, we were in t-shirts at the weekend, but, we have just started to collect a few bits for the advent calendars and stockings and writing our own wish-lists! We're also putting together some fab gift guides for you coming up in the next few weeks.
Christmas shopping or not, fairs and markets are a great way to discover new British brands and support small businesses so we'd love to see you at one of the events below, just click for more details:
November 14th - Creake Abbey Christmas Fair, North Norfolk
November 28th - Kent College Christmas Fair, Pembury, Kent
November 29th - Sissinghurst Castle Festive Fair, Sissinghurst, Kent
December 4th, 5th, 6th - Deepdale Christmas Market, Burnham Deepdale, Norfolk
December 10th, 11th - Babyccino Shop Up - Chelsea Town Hall, London
