Step2wo kids shoes for fall/winter 2013, the trends go Regency with fabulous Swarovski buckles.

Posted on May 3, 2013 by smudgetikka

Step2wo have produced some amazing kids shoes for the next autumn/winter season with Regency styling and buckled Swarovski decoration and a blocky square heel or crystal studded low heel loafers with a bar bow on top.

For the punk revival theme there are also great studded Dr Marten styles in flesh pink and Yves Klein blue as well as black, or for smoother operators a soft suede slipper studded with crystals for perfectly comfortable party wear. Lucky small adults will be able to fit into the continental 39 size these go up to.

Anthropologie women’s fashion for fall 2013, the monochromatic influence reigns.

Posted on May 2, 2013 by smudgetikka

Some women’s fashion today for a change as it was the Anthropologie press show yesterday and as a huge fan of the store I thought others might like a quick fall/winter preview from them too, I think most mums love this store for inspiration and quirky touches they don’t find elsewhere.

The monochromatic trend is a strong buy for the store with quite a lot of Scandinavian influences present, there is a softer paler shaded Great Gatsby inspired selection for eveningwear and some scattered vibrant brights too.

I also found this book in Anthropologie, a lovely text about meeting up and enjoying the company of groups of friends.

Ralph Lauren fall 2013 kidswear preview, ruffles, frills and Fair Isle knitwear

Posted on May 1, 2013 by smudgetikka

There are some neat ruffled shirts in the Ralph Lauren fall 2013 kids fashion collection, in stripes and plaids and as dresses too, they have a slick yet comfortable vibe to them.

The collection has the pretty classic Fair Isle knitted elements that we all know Ralph for but this season its mixed with ruffled chiffon tops and skirts for a funkier look and the addition of a heavy duty studded denim vest is a surprise.

For boys its all about Ralph’s signature styling, though its a neat touch to have a silk turn back collar on a polo classic top.

Tommy Hilfiger for fall 2013, spots and tromph l’oeil baby dresses tweak the classics.

Posted on April 30, 2013 by smudgetikka

Tommy Hilfiger have updated their kidswear collections for this fall with some new inventive additions to their classic plaid and preppie vibe.

Mulitcoloured spotty sweaters and silk print tops and tromph l’oeil baby dresses with inset knitted necklines are just two of the additional tweaks which give this collection a new modern feel.

I especially like the new tailoring in boyswear, with a mini James Bond suit for any aspiring secret agents.
