Favourite outfits for Autumn Winter 2011

September 16, 2011 by Scandinavian mum

Corina Papadopoulou, founder of the Scandinavian Children’s Store KIDSEN, lives in London with her husband and two gorgeous daughters. They’ve recently returned from a lovely summer holiday in Sweden, being busy visiting family and friends and most certainly also being scouting for new cool children’s fashion and design brands! Back in UK, and no time to rest as both girls are back to school and with all the news for Autumn Winter 2011 arriving daily it’s rock´n roll over at Kidsen. We had a chat with Corina about what’s new and what brands and style’s that excites her this season. She’s kindly taken the time to put together a few outfits;
Corina’s favourite outfits for Autumn/Winter 2011 -enjoy!



Little Miss Urban Cool

To help your Little Miss step out in style the popular Hummel High Tops now come with fur lining and this purple pair is a winner. Team them with a long sleeve grey marl sweater dress from Mini Rodini. It has a fun dancing bear print complete with an appliqué tutu. Worn with leggings or fun tights what’s not to love! To keep ears snug these stripy Molo Kandy Earmuffs in Party Pink are practical and utterly irresistible. Finally, no urban cool outfit is complete without this funky Mini Rodini retro style jacket. In earthy colours with faux leather cuffs it’s a fabulous head turning piece.



Little Miss City Chic

FUB is my brand of the season and this Yellow Melange Skirt will put everyone in a spin. Girly, pretty and vivid it looks great teamed with FUB’s stylish grey leggings and beautiful soft wool cardigan in a neutral shade with contrasting red and yellow trims and buttons. It’s truly divine! To give the outfit an edge I have teamed the skirt with Pom Pom’s fur cowboy boots in camel. 100% leather upper with cute contrast stitching and rubber soles they are designed to be as kind to little feet as possible while still looking fab – I want a pair!



Little Man Too Cute for School

For Little Men I love these Little Duckling soft grey cords, a great alternative to jeans. They are comfortable to wear but robust enough to withstand little boy antics! Team them with great looking Pom Pom grey Chelsea Boots which have stitch details and elastic sides which make getting on and off a breeze. This season every boy’s wardrobe should have a checked shirt. This Mini A Ture Gabriel Shirt is super stylish and can be layered for different looks. To finish the outfit I’ve added this fashionable navy jacket from Mini Rodini. With cute poppered pockets, a panda motif and silky lining it has a stamp of individuality to ensure boys are dressed to impress.

Trend: More shoes being sold in clothes shops

May 11, 2011 by Scandinavian mum

New Norwegian study has found that more shoes are being sold in clothes shops and less in specialized shoe shops. This is probably a result of more clothing shops stocking shoes. The exact numbers of shoes being sold in clothes shops are probably even higher than what the study found as it’s often included in the total income without being singled out.
Source: Tekstilforum.no

Our experience is that staff in clothes shops often are as knowledgeable as in specialized shoe shops, and as we buy more shoes the selection is even greater too.
Below is a few examples of what you can find in Kensal Rise, London based (and online) Kidsen.

Molo Baby Slip On Trainers, 21.99 at Kidsen

Hummel High Top Trainers, £34.99 at Kidsen

Pom Pom leather Mary Janes, 49.99 at Kidsen

Bisgaard navy leather sandal, £54.99 at Kidsen

Meet Helene from Barnyardkids

April 15, 2011 by Scandinavian mum

We are about to explore different independent shops offering Scandinavian children’s fashion.
First up is Barnyardkids, a UK based online shop offering childrens clothes for 0-6 years olds by Scandinavian designer labels Mini Rodini, Smafolk, Katvig, Ej Sikke Lej, Duns, Urban Elk, Ida T, Moccis, Molo and Name It. We met up with lovely Helene from BarnyardKids last week to find out more.

Helene with her son, Sterling.



Little Scandinavian: What was the background for starting up Barnyard Kids and when did it all happen?

Helene: Barnyardkids formed in June 2008 and began trading in November 2008. My son Sterling was born in September 2007 and I quickly discovered a lack of good clothes for babies and young children. After a bit of research, I decided there was a gap in the market for good quality, cool and fun clothes, so decided to launch my own business. Although I’ve lived in England for 20 years, I was born and brought up in Sweden, so was instinctively drawn to Scandinavia for the brands I wanted to offer. By the way, ‘barn’ in Swedish means ‘child’ hence the name ‘barnyardkids’.

Little Scandinavian: How do you select the brands and styles? What is important to you?

Helene: Barnyardkids only stock Scandinavian brands and have an extensive collection from popular brands like Smafolk, Katvig and Ej sikke lej, and a selection of our favourite pieces from lesser-known brands such as Urban Elk and Duns Sweden. Initially it was important to stock clothes that are organic or oeko-tex certified, but we’ve had to compromise when we got Molo Kids and Name-It onboard as they are not organic, but we love their clothes. And the fact they’re Scandinavian!

Little Scandinavian: Do you want to share your favourite picks from the Spring Summer 2011 collection with us? What made you choose these items and are there any strong trends and exciting news we should be aware of for this season?

Helene: Regarding trends for 2011, denim is making a big comeback and will be popular this year. This prompted us to get Name It onboard as they make really cool affordable denim. The Katvig SS11 collection is very strong and selling well, the quality is even better than normal. Mini Rodini are as cool as ever, and Molo Kids have produced some great new t-shirts for this season. Smafolk continue with their fun retro prints; the owl and cow prints are big sellers at the moment, and their car, digger and animal prints are always popular.

Little Scandinavian: Thank you Helene and we wish you and your family a very Happy Spring and Easter!

Helene’s favourite picks for Spring Summer 2011

Elk print body wrap by Urban Elk £19.99

Dana dress by Name It £14.99


Oniver boys jeans by Name It £19.99

Tractor body by Smafolk £15.99


Ralphie short sleeve car t-shirt by Molo £24.99

Sweet alternative to the party dress for your baby girl

November 29, 2010 by Scandinavian mum

It’s a lot of very adorable party dresses available but when I came across this super sweet knitted one piece suit by danish brand Molo I couldn’t help thinking that a little baby girl that doesn’t move much around might would be more comfortable in this soft outfit.



What do you think? The pretty grey Molo all in one body suit with pretty ruffles, with two bright pink buttons at neck opening and leg makes for easy changing, knitted in organic cotton. Available at Kidsen £39.99
I found the frilled shoes that picks up the details from the onepiece at a small danish online shop sweet-design.com

Street look London: Urban Jungle

July 29, 2010 by Scandinavian mum

We met this little fellow in a playground near Soho yesterday, extremely cute and adventures, playing imaginative games with a few new pigeon friends he had made.

Dressed very comfortable and yet with an understated urban style in danish clothes -in fact after a quick chat with his mum I found out they were danish!

This little guy was wearing a cool tshirt from Molo and shoes from Portuguese label RAP, a brand that has been available in Denmark for more than 30 years. I’m not quite sure about what jeans he was wearing, but I really liked the casual turn-up style.

How to get the look:

Any funky stripy or and bold print t-shirt from Katvig or Molo will work.
We recommend I Dig Denim or Rockefella jeans but any favourite comfy pair is perfect.
Choose leather sandals of good quality, like Angulus or Bisgaard.
