The Classic Kids Trainer – New Balance 373
Is it just me, or have trainers just continued to get bulkier over the years? When New Balance sent Bear these 373 trainers, her 10yr old self described then as ‘really different, they’re so cool-looking’. Anyone who has a 10yr old will know that this is Very High Praise. To me, though, they were oh-so-familiar; totally harking back to the trainers which graced my own small feet back in the early 80’s. I love...

Coats for Teen Boys – What A Nightmare (but we FOUND one!)
Clothing teenage boys is a standard parenting horror show of course – I’ve written recently about finding jeans to fit their weird man-child body shape, when they streak upwards but not outwards in their early teens. And then there’s the whole “I don’t like the way that looks/feels/has sleeves/has no hood/isn’t three sizes too big”. Total minefield. But then.. there’s The Coat Battle....
Perfect Autumn Essentials – Pretty Jeans & Comfy Boots from Next
Autumn is probably my favourite time of year to dress for – and my daughter appears to have inherited my enthusiasm. After months of a lacklustre approach to grabbing the nearest t-shirt and shorts, she’s suddenly re-organising her jumpers and insisting that she has ‘nothing to wear’. Well, to be fair, she’s probably grown at least 6″ since last November, and none of her leftover winter wardrobe...
Jeans for your man-sized boy teenager.
I thought they were tricky to find clothes for when they were six, and demanded red tractor t-shirts, soft-pyjamas-with-buttons-on-please and absolutely no yellow.But these boys of mine haven’t got any easier as they’ve got older.The trouble is, teenagers just stop being catered for specifically – around the age of 13 they suddenly disappear from the kids clothing sections; but adult clothing doesn’t really...
