1) How did you start your blog and where did you find the inspiration

from? 

I started it almost a year ago for two reasons, I always wanted to blog but didn't 

quite know what my USP could be, and I wanted to record all Lucie's fab outfits!

2) Tell us about any nicknames you have for your little one? 

Ha! We call her Tron - it stemmed from her being The Snuggletron and 

has now stuck at Tron - she answers to it!

3) What is the one thing you know you shouldn't let your child do, but

you allow it anyway?

Eat chocolate with me (well if I'm being naughty seems unfair to expect Lucie to be good) 

4) What's the one thing you're convinced your child has inherited from

you? 

My temper, my tendency to be a drama queen and my attention seeking - 

basically all the bad stuff!

5) What makes you a LatteMama? 

My love of fashion, fun and caffeine :) (and a fully stocked make-up bag!)

6) How has motherhood changed you and your style? 

I hardly ever wear heels now - I was a 6 inch girl before (oo-er!). Instead I've invested 

in a selection of stylish brogues, sassy flat boots and lovely loafers.

7) What is your best fashion find for your daughter? 

Too many to just pick one, so can I have a top three??!

1) Realizing there's more to kids fashion than the high street with 

stores like LatteMama that stock cool Scandinavian brands. 

2) The Tootsa MacGinty label - we just love everything they design. 

3) A cute burberry dress found in a charity shop for £4! Madness.

8) If you could choose one piece of clothing from LatteMama for your

little ones, what would it be? 

All of it! 

LatteMama has great taste!....you can slip me the fiver later Isra!

Please tell us a bit about your services as a stylist?

My personal services are aimed at busy style conscious parents. 

"Turning children into mini fashionistas, bringing the perfect wardrobe to your door"

When the guilt ridden parent has been working all hours of the day all week, the last thing they want is to drag the kids to the stores to buy clothes at the weekends! Manic! A personal shopper and stylist is a blessing, someone who brings everything their child needs to their door, custom to their lifestyle, no stress, hassle free! Allowing weekends to be about family fun! I offer seasonal wardrobe, holiday wardrobe, and special occasion-wear styling as well as Interior design. I also do commercial projects, working with retailers and brands styling seasonal campaigns and Look-books etc.

How did you find your path to children styling?

I started working in fashion as a showroom assistant for a high end wholesale and distribution company, I then went on to designing Interiors for market properties. It was here I built up a client base and started personal styling clients workwear wardrobes. One day I was asked by a client to style their kids and that was it, I was hooked!

Which one is more fun? Fashion for you or for the kids?

Without a doubt, kids! I spend more on my kids than I do on myself!

How do you like to dress your son,  is he  giving his own input yet? 

He wears whatever, he is not really fussed. Although he does kick off sometimes about a particular pair of loafers because they leave marks on his feet! I dress him in all different kinds of looks, depends on my mood and what he is doing, if he is at nursery then I put less effort in as (I am sure that every mother experiences) he comes home an absolute wreck! 

My daughter however is not even 2 yet and she insists on wearing her wellies with everything! (at home nothing but!) I just go with it though, I think it's quite funny and adorable that she is expressing herself so young!

As a mother to a boy, what advice do you have for mothers who struggle finding stylish clothes for their sons?

It is true, there is a heck of a lot more available for girls! But there are some great finds out there for boys in the high street and designer wear, also there are some fab unisex brands. The childrenswear industry is growing so I don't think it will be too much of a problem for much longer!

What are your favorite finds in the baby fashion world?

Again there are lots of great unisex brands that concentrate on comfort as well as style, such as Indikidual and Beau Loves. On the high street Baby Gap and Zara Baby are always a winner. Designer brands, I love

Chloe and Paul Smith. 

Do you think runway fashion inspires children's fashion at all, or is it the other way around? 

Yeah absolutely, obviously the styles are designed to cater for children, but colours and fabrics etc all follow a similar trend.

What is your favourite SS2012 trend?

Colour blocking because it works so well with children! Also florals, neons and metallics are a favourite, but they will be back next Spring/Summer, hopefully it's a better one!

What do you predict will be the most popular one for AW 2012? 

AW fashion is probably my favourite! Of course I do prefer the sunny weather but I just love winter fashion, I love furs, boots, scarfs, hats, gloves and in this country it's one trend that is here to stay! I think kids look so adorable all wrapped up for the cold weather, big coats, woolly hats and rosy cheeks!

What's your top wish list items from www.latte-mama.com?

I love the No Added Sugar Trapeze Jump-Suit, that's in a Liberty print too right? I also love the No Added Sugar Ovation dress.

Ovation Dress, Trapeze Jump-Suit both by No Added Sugar

Monday Mama

 Twitter is a friend of ours, and we love it because it has the brilliant ability to find us great friends. One of them is the lovely Suki P. In the know blogger of the sleak and fun blog KidstyleJunkie. The fellow Swede is this weeks Monday Mama, and she gives us some great insight into blogging, fashion and motherhood.

You liken children's clothing drugs and you're our pusher. Where does this

passion for fashion come from?

I’m likening shopping to a drug. For as long as I can remember, I have been into clothes. Experimenting as a kid and a teen with relatively horrible results. Nonetheless, the obsession started young and has intensified with age. Though hopefully, the results are better now!

Which one is more fun? Fashion for you or for the kids?

I constantly pore over style magazines and blogs – I love fashion. I don’t actually shop that much for myself (though my husband would disagree with this point…).  However, I really love shopping for kids clothes – as do my kids. They run around shops, picking things out and saying “mummy, is this cute?”

In fact, I used to sell kids clothes about 11 years ago. Really funky labels that were not yet in the UK at the time like American Outfitters and Petunia Picklebottom diaper bags. So I like to think I have a good eye for what works.

You once told me your mother is Swedish, how much of the Swedish culture

have you been brought up with?

I spent all my summers there as a kid, wearing clogs, picking wild blueberries and swimming naked! I got married in Sweden too. Swedes are incredibly polite people, and that is something I'm very fussy about and try super hard to install in my kids. That, and Swedish sweets like Plopp, Skum Banan and Bilar. Very important!

Scandi culture is very popular at the moment, and not the least when it

comes to fashion, why do you think this is?

In recent years I think Scandi fashion has become world class. It's all about clean lines, classic styles, layering and interesting prints. It’s almost beyond trend – you can wear it season after season.

I mean look at Acne – LOVE IT! Also, COS is a favourite shop of mine and to me epitomises Scandi-chic. I call it 'Poor Mans Marni' and it had saved me a fortune over the years!

And for kids – Cloud Nine takes my breath away. So beautiful.

How do you like to dress your children, and are they giving their own

input yet?

As I have identical twins (age 5), my Number One style rule is never to dress them the same and preferably not even similar. This is not only because it makes me ill to see (!), but also psychologically it's very important for them to look different to each other. AND it helps people tell them apart too!

If we have a party or a lunch with friends, I like to have some input into their outfits. Minnie is much fussier than Roxie so if I pick two outfits, she selects from that. The rest of the time (which is most of the time) I let them choose themselves. The fact is that I have built up a good base selection in their wardrobe, so I don't need to worry too much about any nightmare twee appliqué situations arising!

What are your favorite finds in the baby fashion world?

I have always loved Polarn o Pyret for classic baby gear. And I have always liked the little known fact that as a mum of twins you get a 10% discount! I also think Next, Gap Baby, Zara Baby and H&M have SOME incredible pieces. Sorry to be a stick in the mud but until kids are walking and more toddlerish, I don't personally believe in buying them expensive designer gear.

For slightly older kids - these designer brands give me palpitations – Talc, Une Sardine a Rio, Little Marc Jacobs, Sonia Rykiel Enfant, ilovegorgeous, Miller, Kicokids, Marni and Cloud Nine.

Do you think runway fashion inspires children's fashion at all, or is it

the other way around?

I definitely think runway collections inspire the kids collections from a colour, texture and trend perspective. Though luckily with kids clothes I don't really think it matters if you wear it a few seasons later. Which is why sales time is so key! But I truly believe kids shouldn't look like mini-me's, kids should dress like kids.

What is your favourite SS2012 trend?

Sports styling. My staple uniform is leggings, trainers - well, gym gear really. Not that I go particularly, I just like to make the other mums think I do! My favourite purchase for my girls within this trend are Feiyue hi-tops. I’m loving them.

What do you predict will be the most popular one for AW 2012

My favourite trend is Punk Tech. A fusion of classic lines with a rock edge – we’re talking zips, studs, skulls, pattern clash, distressed denim, leather, strong colours. Attitude!

What's your top wish list items from www.latte-mama.com?

1. I’m loving the retro pattern and colours of the Sture & Lisa Many Hearts onesie.
2. The Life’s a Circus tee from No Added Sugar would look great with skinny jeans or chinos rolled up and baseball boots.
3. I also love the No Added Sugar Assouline denim skirt. It’s a great shape. I tend to buy skirts small as I like them to look mini. It’s cuter.

Bank Holiday Mama

We're thrilled to hear our Monday Mama's are honored to be chosen by us. There is a reason to why only one mama will hold the title twice. Meet the fabulous woman behind The Mini Post, and a true supporter of LatteMama. We love her sense of style, knowledge and love for London. If you've gotten to know her once before, read to find out how she's grown as her Baby K has.

Your blog is based in East London. What does this place mean to you? 

Home. We have been living in East London for 10 years. Its been a really exciting place to be. We live on a lovely residential street. In fact it won best street for its decoration & bunting when Diana & Charles were married. Its a very typical EastEnd Victorian house which we gutted and made home. It is now brimming withbaby things which make it feel even more special.  

 

You cover everything from places to be, food to eat and fashion. Did you always have an interest in clothes and trends even before becoming a mum? 

YES! Without a doubt. Some of my earliest memories of clothes are of watching my Mum get all dressed up. I was totally fascinated by the whole process and preparation choosing an outfit; accessories, jewellery, hair, nails, perfume. I love that clothes help define an occasion and make it feel more special. It was inevitable that I ended up working in the world of fashion and beauty.

 

You've been our Monday Mama once before when K was very very young, how do you think your motherhood and even your style has changed in the past couple of months?

As a Mum you no longer have the luxury of spending ages deciding what to wear. Know your style and embrace trends that compliment it. Key pieces like a tailored jacket and a great bag sharpen practical jeans & tee. I love love love Stella McCartney for her signature tailored jackets and Falabella bags.

 

How would you describe your little girls style?

She wears lots of cool vintage baby clothes that my mum kept from the 70s & 80s. She too has a penchant for Stella McCartney Kids!

 

Ever catch yourself matching? 

Yes! Sometimes unintentional. Other days when I have time to think about it, I might plan that 'we match' :) Especially for a special occasion.  

 

What are your favorite finds in the baby fashion world? 

I am hunting for a dress for her to wear to a very special wedding in a few week.And I am really smitten with the dresses from http://www.poppychildren.co.uk - they are so sweet and I think the kind of dress a little girl will remember forever.  

 

Do you think runway fashion inspires children's fashion at all, or is it the other way around? 

Kids clothes can be more romantic & whimsical than mainstream trends. This is what makes smaller independent brands more interesting and gives thema distinct voice in a busy marketplace. It's hard to compete against the biggies like Zara kids & Gap.  

 

What is your favourite SS2012 trend? 

It has to be the ice cream colour palette. I loved the suburban housewives in Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands and it reminds me of that. I'm wearing a lot of lick smacking pastels at the moment. Sometimes punching it up with a hit of neon.

 

What do you predict will be the most popular one for AW 2012?

For me I will retire my colourful ice cream palette and focus on a more autumnal palette inspired by traditional tweeds. For autumn I also love animal inspired pieces, lile a fur collar or a fabulous vintage fur coat.

 

What's your top wish list items from www.latte-mama.com?

It would have to be the "Sunbird' dress for its great print. The LOL T-shirt for its cool message & typography. And lastly the 'Trapeze JumpSuit' cause its just so cool.

Monday Mama

 Kids, Fashion and Blogging with some of the Nets most famous Latte Mama's

Monday Mama is back with an all new crowd of wonderful Mum's from across Britain and Europe, giving us an exclusive look into the latest in kids fashion and blogging straight from those that matter.  

This week we have the pleasure of MrsChic Fantastique, event designer, freelance fashion and lifestyle journalist and blogger with a passion for social media.

Name – Mrs ChicFantastique AKA Michaela Deasy-Smith

Location – London and the South of France

Blog – ChicFantastique.Wordpress.com

Website – in the design stage

Michaela and her lovely daughter

There's so much passion for fashion on your blog, and it really shows through, when and how did this passion start? 

I studied journalism, art history and business at university, taking an internship with ABC radio in Australia. But every week I was writing to Vogue, Cosmo, and every teen fashion mag I could. While I was doing that a friend asked me to help organise a new salon store opening for Toni & Guy. It went really well, for a first time event organiser. I loved the buzz, and so steered my career into events, and boy, I’ve had fun. From Royalty, to celebs, the rich and the not so famous, I’ve had an absolute ball, and it’s been a lot of hard work. Ask Mr ChicFantastique who’s had to ring me at 4am to find out when I would be coming home, and that’s been in the weeks leading up to an event.  

At 7 months pregnant I was asked to travel to the Emirates to start work on another event project, and it was so huge, and such a fabulous opportunity, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to keep up the work commitment, so I bowed out, and that’s when the blogging really took off. I am truly passionate about breathing life in the UK high street, giving a voice to independent fashion designers, retailers and creatives. If someone had told me 15 years ago that I could be using the internet to create a voice and easily get my work published, I could have been a millionaire over and over by now.

How has your style changed since becoming a mother? 

I definitely put more effort into making sure everything I wear is flattering to my shape (and I sometimes take a photo of what I look like before I go out – isn’t that just super vain?). I tend to put my jewellery on after I leave Chic Mini otherwise she will pull at it. I’m also more obsessed than ever about anti-ageing products. I do so much research into food, creams, and of course Botox, which Mr CF will not allow. If you would like to know more about my anti-ageing crusade, tune into Twitter on the 7^th of June for my Twitter party exploring the world of natural vs surgery.

Tell us more about your blog and how it complements your profession.  

My blog has to be newsworthy, interesting, inspirational and as independent as possible with a luxury edge. I suppose I am a ‘blogger’, but I make sure that my journalism skills shine through with accuracy, spelling and grammar, and attention to detail. People seem to like what I do and actual paid writing and events work is slowly coming through via ChicFantastique.

You're from Australia, live in London and visit France often, what can you tell us about how fashion varies in the different countries? 

THE biggest fashion difference is that UGGS are Australian and something we all had as kids - they were our slippers. So different looking to what they are now. But in Australia we would never have worn them out – they are for the house only. In the UK I have been at a cocktail party and girls have arrived wearing a fabulous dress and UGGS  – oh my god!!! NO.

You will not find anyone in France, no matter how cold it is wearing UGGS unless it’s a tourist. French women wear the most flattering leather mid-calf and knee high boots, and I love the look.

The UK is a hot-pot of independent fashion talent who design clothes, shoes and handbags, and I get goose-pimples each time I discover a new one.

I spend a lot of time in the South of France where fashion is all about luxury labels.

Australia does the best swimwear and underwear. My annual parcel is due to arrive from mum any day now.

How would you describe your little girl’s style? 

Chic Mini is Mariella. She has a fabulous head of dark hair, and massive bright, blue eyes, and eyelashes we would pay for.  And she wears colour so well. I’ve never had her in a lot of pink – she looks stunning in red, blue, deep purple. I’ve even had her in black. Mariella always has a trademark clip in her hair and wears hats beautifully. French baby and children’s clothing is always so full of colour, hardly any pink in sight, and I love it.

What are your favorite finds in the baby fashion world? 

We adore Sooki an Australian brand. The pieces have super cute designs such as Babushka Dolls; very functional with buttons and clips in all the right places, and they wash up well time and time again. We also have a stack of Bonds singlets…a bedtime must.

No Added Sugar is another gorgeous brand that design eye-catching pieces with zip and button detail and cute fabrics. I have my eye on the Trapeze Jump Suite on the Latte-Mama website, but waiting for a smaller Chic Mini size.

I don’t mind what brand we buy, but I have to have fab body suits for every day – long sleeve, short sleeve, sleeveless for the hot days.

Do you think runway fashion inspires children's fashion at all, or is it the other way around?

Oh absolutely. That is the beauty of runway fashion.  But becoming a parent is a very personal thing and gives you the most amazing confidence to get out of your comfort zone. Look at Victoria Beckham. But what I have noticed more in the last 5 years is that well known designers are becoming parents themselves. We are seeing their children in the front row at the catwalk, and the designers glowing with pride. Dona Karan famously created DKNY with her daughter in mind.

What is your favourite trend for SS 2012?

In 1996 I travelled Malaysia and Thailand and it was hot. I bought these really light-weight patterned trousers (we say pants), and not just one, but about a suitcase full. I’ve got no idea where they are – perhaps a charity shop or two. The printed trouser is back! And all I can think of are my travels. But I’ve relented and bought a pair from H&M and they are fab, fab, fab. This is what I’ve worn in my photoshoot for you. Make sure you wear with heels.

I also love the oversized clutch. I’ve invested in the Orange Lizard Oversized Clutch by New York designer Riki Rosetta available through BagServant.co.uk

What do you predict will be the most popular one for AW 2012?

I am seeing a lot of peacock jewel colours coming out of Australia at the moment. The very gorgeous Delta Goodrem (judge on The Voice, Australia) wore a stunning sequin blazer the other night at an outdoor appearance, and I want one.

Also, big bags. I’ve just discovered Jane Goodchild, handbag designer, and her lust-have big totes. You can try-on and buy at POP The Fashion Store in Olney. 

Mmmm, big bag love.

Mina Shoes £34-£40

What is your top wish list items from www.latte-mama.com? 

Each week I am measuring Chic Mini’s feet hoping she is ready for the gorgeous ballerina pumps by Mina Shoes. One day! One day!

Monday Mama

 Kids, Fashion and Blogging with some of the Nets most famous Latte Mama's

Monday Mama is back with an all new crowd of wonderful Mum's from across Britain and Europe, giving us an exclusive look into the latest in kids fashion and blogging straight from those that matter.  

This week we have the pleasure of MrsAgathaMarple,

a mother, wife and experienced blogger from Finland.

She gave birth to her adorable son in spring 2008, which is when it all started. She went on to start her very own blog shortly after in October 2008 and she loves blogging still.



Sari and her son



Name: Sari

Blog: MrsAgathaMarple

We have to ask Mrs Agatha, where did the name for your blog come from?

Well, I'm a huge fan of Agatha Christie, love her detective stories and my favourite is Jane Marple. So when I thought about a name for my blog that would stand out, MrsAgatha was the coolest name I could think of and the address also has Marple in it =)

You have been blogging for years now, have you noticed any changes in the children’s fashion blogging world?

Yes, there are more sponsored blogs, brands and businesses have realized how easy it is to advertise via blogs.

What's it like blogging in two languages at the same time, and do you ever feel like skipping one?

I feel like skipping all the time! :D It's quite hard to write in 2 languages but I can't skip Finnish since most of my readers are from Finland. And I can't skip English as I've noticed an increasing amount of readers outside Finland =)

How has your sons style changed since becoming older, do you even get to decide his outfit anymore?

When he was a baby I bought him very colourful retro-style clothes (brands like Ej Sikke Lej and Småfolk were my favourites then). But nowadays he dresses more like me, black and grey being the most used colours with some more colourful things too. I'm a lucky mama and he lets me to choose his clothes still! :D

He really doesn't care about what he wears, he's happy if the clothes are comfortable.

Scandinavian fashion has become very popular lately. Are there any must have Finnish brands out there, and how would you define Finnish fashion?

I recommend checking out brands MinuMinu and Aarrekid, those are the best Finnish brands for kids. Also Nosh Organics is cool.

Almost all Finnish brands use organic/recycled materials for the clothes and the designs are quite simple but feature a few unique twists. Most of the children's brands in Finland are retro-inspired since that kind of style is a big hit at the moment in Finland.

What has been your best fashion find in the past?

For myself: Swedish Hasbeens-shoes and for the boy: Vans-shoes (can you tell that I love shoes ;D)

What is your favourite trend for S/S 2012?

I love the colourful jeans!

What do you predict will be the most popular one for AW 2012?

I'd say sequins and warm jumpers.

What are your top wish list items from www.latte-mama.com?



Clockwise from top: Robot Tee £22; Puss Shirt £28;
SunBirds Hat £15.50; Out of Pocket Jumper £17; Roley Poley Pants £32

Monday Mama #12

One of our loveliest and dearest Twitter friends Charlotte is this weeks Monday Mama. Check out what this honest mum says about style, her plans of never getting married and motherhood.

Name: Charlotte

Blogname: I'm only saying what you're thinking...

Website: www.onlysayingwhatyourethinking.blogspot.com

Twitter name @yesimcharlotte

Location: Kent

Keeping it Brief

After deciding I wasn't into the whole marriage and babies thing, I met my husband at work (he was my boss) and we got married and had a baby! Up until two years agoI worked in the creative industry but now I spend my days looking after our daughter. For now...

We love your blog. How did you start it and where did you find the inspiration from?

Thank you! I started it after not being able to find any honest blogs about pregnancy and motherhood. They were all sugar coated. I'm not stupid, I knew it wasn't all perfect pregnancies and amazing babies that don't cry or keep you up all night so I thought I'd tell it how it is. Every last gruesome detail. I found inspiration from everyone who told me pregnancy is just wonderful and motherhood is a peaceful experience. As if!

Both you and your blog are very honest, do you think there's a lack of it out there?

I used to think so but now more and more people are being honest

about their experiences. Before I think they were afraid people

would see them as selfish for complaining about being so blessed.

But as Mama's we're allowed to vent about our troubles otherwise we'dgo crazy!

Tell us about any nicknames you have for your little one?

I call her Lil or Bubs.

One thing you know you shouldn't let your child do but allow it anyways

I give her chocolate sometimes. She can smell it from a mile off,

I'm sure. A little chocolate monster!

Talk about one thing you're convinced your child has inherited from you

Her determination. I've never let anyone tell me I can't do something and she's exactly the same. It isn't disobedience, it's her strong will. If she really wants to do something (just recently - crawl), she will.

We've noticed how incredibly stylish you are, and we love it! Do you and Lil ever match or would you ever consider doing that?

Haha, thank you! We've never matched on purpose. Sometimes we'll both wear skinny jeans and a top and I'll realise later in the day that we match. We've both acquired so much leopard print that the chances of us both wearing a piece of it is very high! Like Pat Butcher and her mini sidekick!

What makes you a LatteMama?

I only allow myself one slummy day which involves sweatpants and an old tee. And I always smile! Your smile always brightens up someone's day.

How has motherhood changed you and your style?

I can no longer wear heels everyday! And I try to dress for comfort whilst looking presentable. I layer up a lot too. When Lil is having a tantrum I tend to get a bit flustered, especially in public!

If there's one advice you can give to new mothers what would it be?

Take lots of photos. Who cares if people think you're a baby paparazzo? It's your baby and they grow up SO fast. Cherish every second.

What are your future projets, and goals?

'I'd like to go back to work at some point, whether it's back in to the creative industry or to try something different. I really enjoy writing so I guess we'll see. I only have one goal and that is to ensure Lilian continues to be a smiley, happy child.

If you could choose one piece of clothing from LatteMama for your little ones,

what would it be?

Ah I love it all! But it would have to be the Ahoy skull and cross bone tights.
