Babiekins Magazine

A Trendsetting Magazine & Online Community For The Trendsetting Child + Parent

Featurekins // Elfie

By Donna Tweedale, Former Contributor Leave a Comment

This Guy Fawkes Night saw two sisters celebrate the opening of their debut boutique for their home grown brand, Elfie.

Inspired by their own childhood memories, Rafaela and Victoria created Elfie in 2010. A very charming, quintessentially British brand.

”Taking our own vintage hand-me-downs, that are full of character with past stories laced into their smocking and structure, and styling them with skinny jeans, stripy tights and glitter shoes, to give the traditional British style a modern edge.”

This Autumn/ Winter sees Elfie exclusively collaborate with Alex Eagle and Willow & Warson, to bring a beautiful capsule collections including wooden bow ties to the boys range, that can be personalized, what a great gift idea this Christmas!

Elfie’s aim is to use their unique approach to create durable, pieces that will fit in to mix up your bold prints and modern textures for your little Babiekins to pass on to the next generation.

FUNKINS :: London with Kids–Top 5 Things to See & Do

By Gina Munsey, Senior Editor 1 Comment

Spring is finally here in the Northern Hemisphere and the days are growing longer and warmer. It is around this time of year when we as a family feel the itch to pack up and travel.

Anyone else know the feeling? One of our all time favorite destinations with kids is London, England.

We always read about our destination in advance and let the kids choose a few things they would like to do.  Here are their top five favorites for London:

1) Visit Piccadilly Circus at night when the neon lights are lit up.  My son read about it in This is London so we made sure to plan dinner in the area that night just so we could check that one off his list!

2) See the mummies at the British Museum.  Thanks to a tip from Not For Parents: Everything you wanted to know my son was obsessed with seeing the mummies!  (His favorite was the pet cat mummy!)

3) Of course Big Ben is an absolute must…

4) Ride on the London Eye.  They begged to take a ride and it ended up being their absolute favorite!

5) Watch the Changing of the Guards.
 It may not be something you would have to do if you visited frequently, but for a first-time visitor?  Mandatory!

Don’t forget to take a photo in a red phone booth and try fish and chips, too! We are always amazed by how open our kids are to new experiences and how well they travel!

Are you planning a spring or summer vacation this year?  Where will you be heading?

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!
