Danish Babushka has extended their collection now and there is suddenly a few clothing items to be found as well as the adorable interior items we know from previous seasons.
The clothing has a clear Japenese influence with items like kimonos etc and also looking at their unusual use of colours. We think the knitted shawls are lovely too.
Pure lifestyle thing going on here… And we quite like this Asian meets English country living!

Preview Wheat Autumn Winter 2010

Scandinavian mum — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:46:34 +0000

Autumn and winter in Scandinavia is crisp and cold often with a clear sky where after a stroll through the beautiful landscape in green turning yellow, red and brown you can relax with true home comforts in front of an open log fire with the flicker and glow of candles. The AW10 collection from Danish designer brand Wheat is based on classic styles with soft harmonious colours that set the trend, using natural fabrics and materials they remain functional but still cater to children´s daily needs.

Norlie – fit for a prince or princess

Scandinavian mum — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 11:59:22 +0000

Norlie was established in 2005 in Denmark by Camilla Liedner and Kirsten Noergaard, and they are already well known for the innovative and exclusive knitwear line for both babies and children 0-10y.

However, soft jersey qualities have been an important part of the Norlie collections, too, and to ensure the continuing development of the brand, a woven line has expanded the collection to complement the knitwear and jersey clothing to create a complete collection. When wearing Norlie, the child can feel comfortable in clothes that have a timeless simplicity, freedom of movement, and pure fabrics in delicate soft and breathable materials.

Norlie has also quickly gained its popularity not only for the high quality and design but also because the CIFF’s patroness, HRH Crown Princess Mary, dresses the Price and the Princess in clothes from Norlie.

Little Scandinavian loves Norlie for the beautiful finish and details, the subtle colour palette inspired by the Nordic atmosphere and for the soft and luxurious materials.

5 tips on children’s fashion this autumn

Scandinavian mum — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 11:35:24 +0000

Leading Danish stylist Quinee Balsov, the house-stylist of CPH kids August 2010, offers 5 tips on children’s fashion this autumn

1. Mix the two trends
The two trends “Color Play” and “Nature” can easily be mixed – but do it in moderation: for instance, a striped and colorful hat with a natural-colored set of clothes.

2. Give the outfit edge
Create contrasts and edge by combining the fine, romantic dress with a pair of rough, woolen stockings. Or combine striped trousers with a spotted blouse.

3. Let go of the reins and let the kids choose for themselves
With advantage, you can let your child choose the outfit themselves. Parents are often positively surprised by their kids’ sense of style. And particularly this fall, gaily-colored elements and ideas are super trendy.

4. Let kids be kids
Luckily, in Denmark we understand that first and foremost, kids’ clothing has to be practical and comfortable. Leave it that way: The clothes must fit the everyday life of the child – not the other way around.

5. Think sustainably
No matter whether you or your child goes for “Color Play” or “Nature”, it pays to think about sustainability. Second hand clothes is trendy – also for kids. And when you buy new, then go for high quality that can be passed on. It serves both the style and the environment.

Quinee Balsov is a kids’ stylist and has styled kids for many years. She has worked for a wide range of Danish kids’ magazines and is a regular stylist for CPH kids.
CPH kids is a children’s fashion fair for professionals. It takes place during Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Molo enchanting deer print for autumn 2010

Scandinavian mum — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:06:29 +0000

The most delightful of prints, this breathtaking deer in a enchanted forest, from danish Molo Kids will tempt the girls this autumn, made in soft cotton in a comfortable cut and covered with gorgeous deers and flowers all the way around.
This enchanted forest print will probably make us think of Disney’s Bambi but truth is that this theme has a long history, being described in some of the oldest folklores around the world.

Nordic Kids think this is the ultimate in dainty woodland chic! We think the deer print is stunning and that the colours are perfect for the coming autumn and winter season.

No girls wardrobe should be without a garment this gorgeous! Available in sizes 0 – 12 years.
