Mini-Me's with River Island

Style Theory: Sometimes your little ones like to look a little cool, slightly edgy but you still want the clothes to be a good quality, durable and cut well. Step forward River Island mini...utterly cute,  trendy and ideal for disco/party outfits. 

For little ones all the key trends seen in adult fashion are filtered down, diluted a little to make them child friendly and can be mixed and matched with more traditional items in your child's wardrobe. The range is reasonably priced (think H&M kids pricing) but just slightly more cutting edge.

The good news is River Island kids have 20% off today - enter the code KIDSMINI20 

Here is my edit of super cute mini outfits, I still lean towards slightly classic in my selection but I think the outfits below are a happy compromise, cool but not too 'grown up'...

For the boys....

T-Shirt - £8
Jeans - £10
Beanie Hat - £5
Check Shirt - £12
Hoody - £14
Loafers - £25
Trainers - £14


For the Girls....

Blouse - £12
Denim Shirt - £12
Skinny jeans - £10
Socks - £4
Boots - £20
Pom Pom hats - cream £6 Pink £6
Heart Glasses - £5

My 8 year old daughter has just breezed past the computer and announced she loves the whole outfit (I think she may be a little too big) but she said it was 'epic' ..!

Today is the ideal time to buy a few little pieces for the little wardrobes, the 20% off makes such a difference and they will last them the whole winter and spring and these items are good layering items and could be worn in the summer too,  I'm off to do a little kids shopping at RI (my kids have grown out of all of there winter clothes grrrrr!)

Dorothy eat your heart out..!! I love how these streetstylers have styled their red shoes..


Red shoes add a wow factor to any outfit, I adore them dressed down with dungarees, these Topshop shoes would look fab with the black cord dungarees above and a red/black breton top and black leather bag. Or wear with classic blue skinny jeans, a white shirt and add a pair of red shoes for a statement look.

Be quick with this Topshop collection the items sell out so fast, the ultimate in cool, trendy pieces for the whole season.

Switching to Autumn/Winter - Some Outfit Inspiration

Style Theory: The transition from one season to another can sometimes leave me a little lost...what to wear, what style to go for, what is cool this season? I always turn to Pinterest to the streetstylers for some inspiration, so here are a selection of my favourite, mainly classic looks, for this Autumn/Winter that will work for a few years to come...





















For me this year it is all about over sized knitwear, skinny jeans, or leather/suede look trousers, trainers, slouchy boots, tailored coats or jackets and a healthy dose of lurex thrown in to add much needed Autumn sparkle. I am of to hunt down my key items from the high street, I will report back...
