Kids Posh Togs

Bright red is always a lovely colour on young girls, and creates interest in this simple cotton dress from Maan.  Whilst the shape of the dress is relaxed with its round neck and armholes, the definition lies in the finishing touches, like the panel of narrow, flat pleats down the centre of the bodice which open out into full classic pleats around the skirt.  Hiding the join between the bodice and skirt is a narrow belt with the fabric red rose attached.

This versatile dress can be worn on its own during the summer months, or with a long sleeved top underneath as a pinafore dress.

What a miserable wet and windy day it is today!  Just right for showing you this marvellous Wallaboo fleece winter suit.  It is available in other sizes than the one shown, with other variations and colours, but the principle is the same:  keeping baby warm. dry and comfortable.

A short time ago we brought you some luxury baby nests, one of their uses being to pop into the pram, buggy or car seat to keep your child warm and comfortable whilst out and about without disturbing them too much whilst they slept.  The Wallaboo fleece is similar in that it keeps baby warm and is great for using with the buggy or car seat lessening the need for extra blankets that can get twisted or dropped.  As you can see, the jacket can be attached to the footmuff (or worn separately when required) by use of press-studs.  Alternatively, the footmuff can be converted into leggings!  How versatile is that?

Made from luxurious microfibre suede and cosy shearling, this suit is designed to match the Wallaboo range of changing bags, footmuffs car set covers.

These two-tone HKM jodhpurs are really stylish and look smart for everyday riding.  A bit of colour makes them stand out from plain black or beige!  They are available in 4 different sizes, with each size being in stock at time of publishing.

Belt loops have been added to the waistband, and the bottom area is made from ultra soft imitation leather which helps keep bottoms in the saddle, and have velcro fastenings at the ankles.

These fashionable brown leather and suede boots from Clarks are smart and practical for the Autumn / Winter season.  Pretty with the addition of the decorative flowers on the outside leg, they will suit trousers, jeans and skirts with thick tights.  Not just looking pretty though, they have the added benefit of being waterproof due to the use of GORE-TEX® in the manufacturing process – almost a necessity in the damp and dreary weather we are experiencing at the moment!

Available in half sizes and various width fittings for maximum comfort and protection of delicate, growing feet.

Perfect for ski-ing and also playing outside in the snow (or rain for that matter), these brightly coloured red dungarees / salopettes have been made using the latest technology from Scandinavia to maximise comfort for your child.  The material used to make them is 100% waterproof and extremely tough and durable although they are supple and soft so nice to wear.  The thought of having small children that won’t be complaining of being cold or wet whilst on your ski-ing holiday will bring joy to most people!

The legs have elasticated cuffs to reduce the amount of wind, rain or snow that can slip up the legs and stirrup straps help to keep them in place.  Plenty of growing room has been built into the item, with the help of adjustable side poppers.

Available for age ranges between 1 and 5 years.

I just love this deep blue velvet dress – must be the military and uniform influence!  Blended with a cheerleader design, this style of dress is tipped to be a real hit this season.

Perfect for parties and also smart occasions with the need to dress up, your daughter will stand out and look impeccable in this dress which has red cord across the chest and highlighting the waist and sleeve cuffs.  Navy blue and red always look good together, and this dress is no exception.

If you’ve yet to discover the fabulous designs from Uttam Direct, then you are in for a treat.  I first came across the brand in an exclusive shop when buying a dress for myself, and was equally pleased not only to discover that you can buy their products on-line, but also to see that the range extends to include a small selection of girls clothing and accessories too.

Like the adult range, Uttam Kids focuses on tunic style dresses and tops, with a heavy influence from the East.  The designs are so unique that they catch the eye, using techniques such as patchwork, tie-dye, applique, hand-stitched beading and embroidery, and printed knitwear, chiffons, and silks to create them.  This dress is available in both black and navy blue.

The adult range has been worn by famous women such as Fearne Cotton, Sienna Miller, Lily Allen, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden, whilst one of the Uttam Kids dresses has been spotted on Geri Halliwell’s daughter Bluebell.

If the design of this cute hat appeals to you, you may be interested to know that a matching long-handled shoulder bag is also available.  Together or separately they would make a wonderful gift this Christmas.

It doesn’t seem five minutes since we started bringing you the gorgeous collections for Autumn / Winter 2009, and we are still in the run up to the festive season, yet here we are with the very first item for Spring / Summer 2010!

Always popular, Ralph Lauren have scored a winner with this green polo shirt for boys.  Look closely and you will see orange jellyfishes emblazoned on the front.  Ironically, it is a really gloomy, damp and misty day here as I write this, so seeing new products with a reference to the sea, sun and summer holidays is a joy.

Made from 100% cotton, this item is available in sizes from 2 to 16 years.  Keep coming back to see more products for the 2010 season – we have some exciting items that you will love.

Rich fabrics like velvet are especially nice during the colder months and can be worn as part of a formal suit, or on a more casual basis with jeans or other trousers.

This dark grey velvet jacket is made from 100% wool and is specialist dry clean only.  It is single breasted with a button fastening and a neat lapel collar. 

Available in sizes: 4, 6 and 8 years.

Delivery is FREE on this item.

A super little jacket in the softest faux fur which is ideal for parties or shopping trips with mum.  The jacket has a small Peter Pan collar and has a gold button fastening down the front.

Sizes available are:  5, 6 and 8 years.

Delivery is FREE on this item.

We love these brown waxy boots, but just wish they came in larger sizes too.  With a rugged chunky heel and sole, they’ll give plenty of grip in icy weather and for trudging around in the poorer weather to come.  The stout structure of the boot is well padded to give maximum comfort and support around the ankles and a zip fastening on the inside leg makes putting on and taking off easy.  For decoration, a strap covers the front of the boot.

Those of you who were born and brought up with shoes from Clarks will be reassured that these boots will be strong, well made, and the choice of width fittings ensure that they will support your child’s foot.  After all, with tiny feet vulnerable during those early years, smart parents know that well fitting shoes are important.  No surprise then that half the first shoes bought are from Clarks!
