Well, autumn (?!?) term is almost upon us. As we prepare for the kids’ back to school routine to shock us back into military precision timing to get them out of the door on time for the school bell, we take a look at some pieces which may come in useful for making “back to school” a bit more fun.
1. Hat €19.95 by Molo – this design draws its influence from streetwear and superheroes so your little one can feel like they can achieve anything.
2. Crown by Oeuf at Scout & Co £32.00 – this gorgeous knitted crown can double up as an ear warmer.
3. Fingerless gloves by Bijoux Boutique £8.50 – kids don’t want mittens or gloves to get in the way of exploring and these fingerless gloves provide another option.
4. Kissing hedgehogs pencil case by Anorak £6.00 and pencil set £8.00 – bold prints and strong colours make this set fun for kids. Pair with Psychology of Colour pencil set at Snowden Flood £18.00 – empowering words feature on these colouring pencils to inspire your little one.
5. Reflective star by Molo €3.95 – a brilliant little accessory to hang off your child’s bag (see our previous post for school bag inspiration).
6. Snood by Olivier Baby £28.00 – other colours should appear as autumn sets in. Both Harry and Harriet have one and they are so soft and cosy as well as being less annoying than a scarf.
7. Navy herringbone coat by Elks of Ireland €238.00 – pricey but a true classic. The quality is so beautiful, we couldn’t resist putting it in the post. Definitely an item to treasure.
8. Glasses by Zoobug £54.00 – should your mini need glasses, Zoobug have a range of frames to suit everyone.
9. Detangling brush by Tangle Teezer £12.99 – running out the house with no time to spare? Keep on of these in your handbag or car (as Georgie does) to tidy up the kids’ hair at the school gate.
10. Lunch box by Yumbox £24.95 – helps you to think of more than just a sandwich for their lunch.
11. Navy Nat shoe £52.00 and black Emme shoe £45.00 by Plae – these shoes are new to the UK (see their UK website for stockists) and the quality is fabulous for little feet. Your mini can even customise their pair with interchangeable tabs. There will be more on this brand soon!
12. Swimming trunks £42.00 and girls’ top £20.00 and bottoms £30.00 by Beanie & Bear – perfect for swimming lessons. Well made with added fun through the neon detailing (see our post on Beanie & Bear here).
