Autumn/Winter Fashion Trends For Kids

Posted on by Abi

It’s no secret that little girls love dressing in fun stylish clothes, and now that the autumn/ winter season has officially arrived there are countless numbers of fashionable looks that your children can try out. As a stylish parent, it is likely that your kids will always try to copy your on-trend outfits and this season is filled with fashion forward looks that any little girl will love dressing up in.

Here are some of children’s designer clothes trends taking centre stage this AW13…

Faux Fur From snuggly faux fur coats to adorable faux fur hats and headbands, faux fur has been a favourite fashion staple amongst adults for plenty of years and now children’s brands such as Monnalisa have incorporated this luxury and chic material into their collections. Little girls will love feeling super stylish in a faux fur coat or gilet while babies are sure to look cosy and cute in a faux fur lined snowsuit.

Perfect Prints Polka dots, leopard, floral – this A/W is all about adding that fun pop of colour and print to any outfit. Little girls will feel like pretty princesses in floral printed rara skirts while a polka dot party dress is simply perfect for Christmas day.

Cute Cover-ups It just wouldn’t be autumn/ winter without treating your little ones to a cosy new coat. While keeping warm is key when it comes to the colder months, little girls will also want to look super fashionable – that’s why children designer clothing brands such as Catimini have created a complete collection of snug winter coats with added style appeal. With girly colours of purple and pink as well as pretty floral printed macs, a Catimini coat will keep any little fashionista warm and happy this winter. Remember to choose a coat or jacket with faux fur detailing for extra style points!

Trends for Boys It isn’t just girl’s clothes that is keeping up with the trends this season, baby boys designer clothing collections are also filled with a number of key looks to dress little lads in. Designer favourites Moschino boys have created a number of sporty inspired polo tops with long sleeves to help update your son’s wardrobe for the new season.

Hot Wheels Mid-Air Madness Review

Posted on by Abi

Back in October I reviewed the wonderful Hot Wheels Wall Track toy. My children abdolutely loved it so I was thrilled when asked to review the brand new Mid-Air Madness track!

Just like last time we found the track very easy to assemble and attach to the wall. It’s also a little more compact in width making it perfect for smaller bedrooms. The instuctions also doubled as a background poster which definitely enhanced the fun as far as my kids were concerned.

Having kept the kids at bay during construction we let them loose on their new toy. They absolutely adored it! Cars wizz around the track at speed, flying through the air before landing with ease and carrying on their whirlwind journey round and round.

The track did require large D batteries which unfortunately were not included, this caused a slight delay while we popped to the shops. We also found that they drained the batteries rather quickly, so make sure you have plenty on standby if you don’t want unhappy faces all around.

On day two of the wall track one piece did keep disconnecting from the wall due to the sheer force as the cars landed. This was rather annoying to me but the kids seemed unfazed and just kept reconnecting it and carrying on.

Another day on and a piece fell off the wall, I rather think this was down to us perhaps not attaching the wall strips firmly enough. Unfortunately two patches of wall paint disappeared along with the track pieces, this did not happen with our first Wall Track set, so I am unsure if it was my walls that caused the problem or the track.

Once we had reattached the track it stayed put, with no further falls or disconnections. The best advice would be, make sure it’s really well stuck the first time!

Would I recommend this product?

Considering how happy all my children are (not just the boys) I would definitely recommend it.It seems to provide hours of fascination and fun.

Could it be improved in anyway?

I would like to see the batteries last a little longer. It’s also a fairly audible toy, akin to a typical fan noise so don’t attach it in the TV room.
