SLUGS, SNAILS AND PUPPY DOG TAILS: Picks for little boys

Time for my favourite boy's picks in the world of children's fashion. Oliver and Noah, this one is most definitely for you.
No Added Sugar is unrivalled in its cutting edge style for the boy who has everything. My personal favourite has to be the Sailor and Pirate T-shirts. What little boy would not love these? Come to think of it, the allure of No Added Sugar is probably mostly that parents appreciate the design most of all. Cue Dad dressing up son in miniature versions of his own clothing! The newest collection of clothing for boys is available now.

Crewcuts for Boys, from J.Crew, offers the perfect blend of the traditional and stylish for the wee man. My Fall picks are a blend of Preppy classics and Eurotrash style (in the nicest possible way). J.Crew's collaboration with iconic designers has resulted in the ultimate heirloom pieces for children. Blundstone Boots (above, bottom left), Converse Jack Purcells (above center) and Levi's (above top right), to name just a few, will leave your boy dressed bettter than you could hope to be.

SUGAR AND SPICE & ALL THINGS NICE: Picks for little girls

I am a sucker for little girl's clothing, since the arrival of my niece Honor. Actually, since I became an Aunt for the first time, to the singularly cute and energetic Oliver, I had been collecting baby girls clothing in the hope of a niece arriving in the near future. Now don't get me wrong, I get excited about all the unique little boy's clothing out there, and pride myself in outfitting my nephews (Noah arrived 3 years after Oliver) in the most original creations I can find, but my obsession with pink took hold and now I have an outlet to bestow all my girly tendencies on. My number one rule for all my kiddie picks is always that they be less frilly and child-like, and more modern and mature. No cartoon characters or cutesy detail, this is serious style for amazing wee people.

My go-to for all baby clothing is first and foremost a London based children's clothing company No Added Sugar . Their pieces are not only well made, and full of individual detail, but they are so unique and full of attitude, I could just devour their entire collection.
Their signature look for girl's dresses, is the bustle. Bountiful folds of vibrant coloured fabric give the classic bustle form a modern twist. I especially love their new version of this style dress, Crocodile Tiers (pictured below). Feast your eyes on their designs for the thoroughly modern little girl here.

Crewcuts from the ever popular and newly revitalized J.Crew, under the Creative Directorship of Jenna Lyons, corner the market in the ultimate classic Preppy clothing (with a twist) for little ones.
