If you go down to the woods today, you’ll find all kinds of Christmas decorations!

Posted on November 20, 2012 by smudgetikka

The woodland theme is out in force for this years Xmas decorations and gifts.

Never have I seen so much wildlife scattered across ornaments, cushions and tree hangings for Christmas. I blame the owls, that’s where it all started.

I covered the stags head trend here, now here is a look at some of the smaller wildlife available to fill our homes. Its a bit ironic really, if half of these actually came into the house over the festive season we would do all we could to get them back out into the cold again!

Olympic gym bags, a new interior collection and Miss Marple inspired winter fashion, my Caramel Baby and Child have been busy this year.

Posted on July 27, 2012 by smudgetikka

Hugely popular in Europe and Asia for its classy and classic styles with a modern touch Caramel Baby and Child renews its signature lines each season with a little quirk.

The label has just entered the interiors arena with a bedding and blanket range which is as beautiful as the clothing range and sure to be as popular as well as quirky cute Christmas present buys. If all goes well expect to see even more interior products added to the collection next season.

For winter 2012 the kids fashion ranges have tweedy Miss Marple style overcoats and cute felted hats, cosy cardigans mixed with Liberty print dresses and baby versions too. Even the boy’s range gets a tweedy overcoat and a Sherlock style deerstalker cap.

For those inspired by the Olympics and the current heatwave there is also a special gym bag on sale now with a customised T-shirt, rosettes, toys and sweeties.
