Travelkins // Autumn Sea Air

By Donna Tweedale, Former Contributor Leave a Comment

There’s something special about small British coastal towns in the Autumn. You can cover miles of pebbled beach before you see another family. Breathe in the fresh air, listen to the waves crash against the walls. Talk about everything, or not speaking a word.

From running up and rolling down hills of pebbles to sitting and taking your time to find the perfect stone for skimming. Layering up for bright days of exploring modern sculptures to 16th Century buildings and playing for hours with toy sail boats on the boat pond just as children did before us in the 1950’s.

I’m in a ‘Sport Luxe’ phase this season. My eye for the classic shapes with interesting details, easy to wear colour ways and mix of fabrics has moved onto the boy’s wardrobe. Going into summer we’ve swapped our hi tops and boots for retro inspired sliders. Having got a pair for myself; I just couldn’t resist some mini versions. Mixing them up with ripped denim and raglan sleeves for a sport inspired look.

I love the 80’s vibe of this combination, he loves the comfort. We’ll call that a win!

Travelkins // Jurassic Coast

By Donna Tweedale, Former Contributor Leave a Comment

It’s been a tough few weeks for my little guy. Settling into school has been a huge adjustment for him. He’s such a sensitive soul. A beautifully natured spirit that is gentle and kind and deeply thoughtful.

We took advantage of a little school holiday. Packed up our favourite toy dinosaurs and took the drive down to the Jurassic Coast where some close friends moved to recently to say hi. We checked out their local beaches, the deep forests, old ruined castles and spent some time out.

No routine. Just a Mumma and her Babiekins. Taking time. To just… Be.

Featurekins // Dot to Dot

By Donna Tweedale, Former Contributor Leave a Comment

I headed down to a new bi-annual kids trade show in London. Dot to Dot. Exhibiting some fantastic new brands launching their first ranges this year, as well as some familiar faces. It would seem AW15 will be full of colour, imagination, beautiful shapes…. and Pom Poms look here to stay.

Some exciting new brands to look out for 2015.

Urban Merino. A fellow denim obsessive, striving to bring a capsule collection of basics. The raglan sleeve colour ways of grey with pops of purple, orange really stood out to me. The quality and finish of the premium fabric used is something else.

A Mini Penny. An expansion of A Weathered Penny; jewellery for us Mumma’s you can now treat your Babiekin’s to some super cute pom pom rings, Unicorns and Ballerina pendants.

Milk Inc. The fluidity and purity of these sophisticated Tee’s is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Using an innovative process with milk fabrics, the brainchild’s behind this new brand of children’s wear really know what they’re doing. One to definitely get excited about.

Holly Hastie. A finalist for the Rising Star Award at Bubble London next week. This is a brand tipped for big things. Inspired by her daughters love of classic children’s films, and whimsical imagination. Think long flowing cloaks, beautiful quirky dresses with classic silhouettes and luxurious textures.

Young Double. A brand new child’s clothing range of quirky screen printed handmade dolls of Naked Lunge fame. Mixing up textures, shapes and movement to create fun sweaters and tee’s.

Corby Tindersticks will be adding some new animal friends to their quirky range of instantly recognisable lifestyle products.

Dandy Star are taking their inspiration from Space with striking star prints and Sci-Fi references across bold metallic’s, sleepwear and accessories.  I totally have my eye on Loud Apparel’s Jeremy Scott inspired snap back. Continuing their trademark use of edgy textures and bold lines. Tootsa MacGinty have some done amazing things with plaid, cute dresses, detailed lining. As well as mixing up animal print with pops of colour. A range with huge personality.

Milk and Biscuits had me hook line and sinker with a particularly stunning line of beautiful dresses, knitwear and jackets; an incredibly cohesive colour pallet. Key pieces with great versatility.

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
