Tutu Du Monde, new styles for 2012 from the Tutu children’s specialist

Posted on December 1, 2011 by smudgetikka

The Australian tutu dress specialists Tutu Du Monde have a fabulous new collection ready for spring 2012, they’ve been seen around a lot but now seems exactly the time of year you would want one of these dresses for all the christmas parties and then carry it on through the summer monts to follow and after all they are still the best in their field.

There are the most beautiful tutu dresses for kids in the softest net, adorned with sequin and beaded decoration. I defy any little girls not to love them and a few big ones too. The new collection has been expanded with beautifully beaded capes, sequinned and ruffled shrugs, bolero’s and embellished knits as cover ups for colder days with accessorised with vintage inspired sequinned berets and hats.

Most of the collection is available from Feb 2012 but some pieces will be available pre-Christmas in time for the New Years Eve parties.

My London Girl, the UK's first Doll Boutique set to launch for Xmas 2011

Posted on July 13, 2011 by smudgetikka

My London Girl will be launching with a store in Westfield later this year in time for the Christmas season hoping to catch girls aged 3-12 in time for the party season with a fashion range made for both owner and doll designed by David Charles.

Well known as a designer of girls party dresses stocked in upmarket boutiques and Harrods for many years now and an exhibitor at the Pitti Bimbo fashion fair in Florence, David Charles is a well established name but this must have been his most unusual task of all.

Inspired by a US concept doll store where the Mini Me dolls are attached to a full on lifestyle branding but with a more fun and relaxed attitude for the UK, the range is produced by child educator Kathryn Fleetwood-Neagle and her husband Paul Neagle.

The 42cm dolls are available in seven different skin tones and with 25 outfits and there are fourteen baby dolls too, prices will start from £40 for the baby dolls, £79 for the 49cm dolls and outfits from £20 for dolls and from £35 for the girls themselves with a whole range of additional accessories. I will post an online link when it becomes available.
