SPRING COLOUR PALETTE
Uplifting shades of coral, buttercup and mint for a fresh & bright new season
All it takes is one burst of sunshine and we’re off, turfing out all the old, heavy wintry textures and fabrics and replacing them with lighter layers and joyful colours that herald the change in season. Inspired by our recent Home Bird feature Fresh & Bright, we launched ourselves into a happy new colour palette of teals, mints, golden yellows, corals and sunny oranges.
From the zingy lemon-coloured T-Rexes on Mini Rodini’s hoody to the pops of primary colour on Tootsa’s new collaboration with Saltwater sandals, we’ve picked nine pieces that’ll freshen up their wardrobe. And while we’re coveting the uber-cool Zoobug sunnies and wondering if we can stretch out Molo’s coral cardigan to fit our own frame, the kids will be guaranteed a super-stylish play time.

INTO AUTUMN BOYS
We've already detailed our joy over the new-season bounty in Into Autumn for the girls. Soft knits, cosy hues of mustard and plums, snuggly accessories - we're all in. Conker season is traditionally a time of Good Clothes and wrapping up stylishly (you've seen The September Issue, right? It's the same for kids in our eyes). And there are some fantastic new lines for the boys, too.
INTO AUTUMN
Forget seasons of mist, it's all about the season of musts this autumn, as in what we must have for their wardrobes. And yes we do love collecting conkers and kicking through crispy leaves and smelling bonfires in the air on the walk home from school, but we also love all the fab new-season collections. Bring on the soft knits, cosy tights and the warm russets, mustards and plums of autumn...
STRANGER THINGS: STYLE GUIDE
If you've been watching Stranger Things on Netflix (and if you haven't, seriously, where have you been? Cancel everything and binge-watch the first season now - since its release this summer Netflix has already commissioned a second series, airing in 2017) you'll know that the dorkiest coolest kids in town at the moment are Mike, Lucas, Dustin and Will. Their Goonies meets E.T. meets Stephen King sci-fi adventures have fuelled an '80s nostalgia trip thanks to the show's near-perfect recreation of the era, and our sartorial eye has been on the detail for their retro apparel.
AFTER-SCHOOL COSIES
The new term is well under way, and we're just about getting our heads around which day is PE day, when the after-school clubs are, homework, lunchboxes, shoe-polishing and knotting a tie once again. But as smart and lovely as they look in their uniforms, it's always nice for them to have some comfies to throw on when they get home and can concentrate only on stuffing their faces and zoning out in front of Octonauts.
