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.
