Children’s Clothes Review: Polarn O. Pyret Autumn/Winter Collection 2012

Summer is officially over the Autumn/Winter ranges are out in the shops. OK so they weather is still nice but it’s worth having a look now and you know the weather changes quickly in the UK.

Polarn O. Pyret sent BG an outfit to wear and review. Polarn O. Pyret means “Buddy and the little one” in Swedish and they make really lovely clothing.

Polarn O. Pyret is a brand that designs, produces and distributes baby and childrenswear through its own shops and in-store franschises. Polarn O. Pyret is a leading brand and store concept for children´s clothing in the quality segment.

This is what BG was sent:

Colourful denims £25 and Poodle and heart tunic £18.50

What we liked:

• The colours are great, I’m not a pink person and I think BG suits strong colours
• BG said they were comfy to wear
• Look good
• Wash really well. I was a little worried about the denim but the colour didn’t run at all and there was no shrinkage
• Really well made
• Adjustable waist which is something I like

What we didn’t like:

• The jeans sat low on BG so when she bent down you could see the top of her bum. That might just be the shape of BG.

Overall I we really likes the clothes and I would buy from actually I have my eye on a Wooland tunic dress for BG and a sleeping bag for when the new baby comes.

You can purchase Polarn O. Pyret online or in one of their 15 stores you can find your nearest here.

Children’s Clothes Review: MASH Junior Spring/Summer

Earlier this year we reviewed some clothes from the MASH JuniorAutumn/Winter range and we loved them.  

We have just been sent some lovely tops from their Spring/Summer range.

Pink Strappy Top with Camera Detail

White t-shirt with Perfume Bottles

What I like about MASH Junior is they are well made, wash well and look really cute.  BG really likes wearing them.

MASH Junior is split into two lines - MASH Boy and MASH Kiss, for boys and girls respectively. The age range is 0 month to 16 years.

The range availability is limited in UK at the moment. It is currently available from yoox.com 

Children Clothes Review & Giveaway– me&i

I’m not a pink person so I tend to dress BG in other colour when I can. I really think she suits bright clothes. I am also a big fan of clothes that last a long time and can be worn for years.

me&i is a Swedish children’s clothes company founded in 2004 by Susan Engvall and Helene Nyrell, working from the kitchen table at their homes in Barsebäck, Sweden.

When I was introduced to me&I earlier this year I was very impressed with the range and the unique way it is sold.

There is no need to shop online or go to a shop. You host a party and someone comes and shows you and you friends the range in the comfort of your own home, 

how great is that?

No sore feet, no dragging the kids around and no queues!

If you would like to host a party then can find more details here .

You can also become a sales rep and be the one organising the parties, they are running a giveaway at the moment and if you join them by 22n April you will be entered into a draw to win a £200 wardrobe of me&i clothes  you can find full details here.

I chose a Circus Dress £23 for BG to try out (Circus is their latest theme)

I love the pattern and the colours. You can see it is well made and the fabric feel soft.

BG loved wearing it. As it was still a bit cold I paired it with leggings and a long sleeved top but it will be perfect for the summer.

It washed well and there was no shrinkage at all.

What I really like is that it is a a-line dress so even when BG gets bigger and it’s too short for a dress it will make a great tunic/top . I have several in the same shape and she has been wearing them for 2 years.

Me&I have really thought about their clothes so that they last a long time, great ‘hand me down’ clothes. I love that they have patterns on the inside of the cuffs so if it’s too long and you roll it up the pattern continues and doesn’t look silly.

I would buy clothes from them as I know that they would last a long time.

I have a me&I Monkey T-Shirt to giveaway to one lucky winner. It’s a unisex pattern and is available in sizes from 6 months to 10 years!

All you have to do is tell me what is your favourite item from me&I is

Clothes Review – Hippychick Waterproof Dungarees

BG loves to jump in puddles, most children do. Her grandparents live in the middle of nowhere and they have the biggest puddles which makes BG very happy. It was also the perfect place to test the Hippychick Waterproof Dungarees we were sent to test and review.

BG went on a walk with Daddy and Gan Gan and tested them well!

As you can see she takes her job very seriously! She was bone dry after 45 mins jumping in puddles.

Price: £23

Material: Teflon coated nylon

Pros:

• Waterproof
• Adjustable straps
• Nice big size to go over clothes
• Breathable
• Comfortable to wear
• Wash really well
• Durable
• Practical

Cons:

• There really isn’t any

Value for money: Yes, they are adjustable so will last as she grows.

Overall reaction:  I really like these dungarees and so did BG. They are practical, easy to wear and most importantly do what they are supposed to do.  These will be perfect for getting out and about in the wet weather.

Just a warning while wearing these kids will want to jump in puddles!

Monday Review and Giveaway – Mimimouse

One of the best thing about being a blogger for me is not getting the free stuff to review (though it’s very nice) it’s being introduced to great little boutique sites. Finding unique products and clothes is a great thrill.

This week I bring you Mimimouse, an online store that creates and sells T-Shirts and Baby Tops that are silk screen printed by hand with unique illustrations and accessories.

I love, love these designs and am really happy they do them in adult sizes as well. The t-shirts are. 100% cotton and are individually printed by hand, you can even chose your own colour combination of t-shirt and ink.

We were sent two T-Shirts, a bubbles babies short sleeved t-shirt and a pram babies short sleeved t-shirt. Both are white with gold printing and there are £12 each, not a bad price at all for a hand printed t-shirt. They also sent a cute tote bag £10; you can chose the motif and ink colour.

The first thing I noticed when I put the t-shirts on BG is that they are really thick, the quality is great. BG was wearing a vest underneath with a bright pattern on the front and you couldn’t see it through the t-shirt.

The printing looks great and the designs are simple but very cool, people do comment on them. It fitted really well, we have a size 18-24months and its perfect on BG who is 22 

months, not too big or too small.

It washed up really well, I was a little worried but its was fine just follow the care instructions and do not tumble dry!

BG has stolen the tote bag from me and uses it as her handbag!

Would I buy from Mimimouse? Yes, the clothes are really unique and a reasonable price

One lucky reader has the chance to win a baby or child’s T-Shirt of their choice.

To enter comment below with the size, design and colours you would like from Mimimouse. 

The giveaway ends Midnight Saturday 10^th October and the Winner will be announced on Monday 11^th October.

The winner will be chosen at random.

You must leave a name on your comment or you will not be entered.

Open to residents of the UK only.

No Cash alternative available.

Good Luck
