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.
Name: Sari
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.
