Me with William, and his big sisters Evie and Lola in Portugal, 2017
Hello! It's been a while. So much has happened since my last blog post including the arrival of my third (and final!) baby, William Percy. What a gorgeous squidgy sleep-stealer he is. He's now about to be two and my girls are approaching seven and nine. So true that the days are long and the years fly by when it comes to child rearing. I look forward to getting back into the world of blogging very soon.
My new website will have a tweak to the name: Chic Little List. As ever, I'm passionate about small labels, star high...

CLB ♥ What Mother Made X Emma Yarlett
Pocket dungaree, £55
How happy-making are these jolly bird print dungarees? One of our
favourite East London-based label, What
Mother Made, has teamed up with award-winning children's author and
illustrator, Emma Yarlett, to create this charming range inspired by the
Cornish coast. Designer and expert seamstress, Charlotte Denn, founded What
Mother Made in 2012, spurred on by the desire to create handmade kids' clothing from beautiful fabrics (read more here). A Cornish girl herself, she was delighted to incorporate
Truro-based Yarlett's sunny illustrations into her designs. 'I...

Half term days out: The American Museum
A proper teeppe
We visited Bath over to weekend to drop Evie with Granny Lyn
for half term. A fascinating historical hub and true beauty
spot, Bath is a fantastic place for children with a range of museums and
undulating green countryside to explore. Somewhere we hadn't been before was The American Musuem. Set in Claverton
manor, a grand old Georgian country house, it's been home to American
decorative and folk art since 1961. Overlooking beautiful grounds, the museum offers
a chronological history of America – exhibits range from traditional interiors and quilts to

CLB ♥ Niddle Noddle
Crouch End's latest arrival
Looking for some last minute Christmas gifts for the tiny ones in your life? If you live in London, head to this divine new toy boutique in the nappy valley enclave that is N8. Eilidh Fraser and Katrine Camillo, the mums behind Crouch End’s newest arrival, have made it their mission to provide stock you won’t fine everywhere else. Their artfully-arranged shop is a giant magnet for all ages. When CLB visited, Miss Evie and Little Lola made a beeline for the tubular yellow slide at the back of the shop and proceeded to throw themselves down it while we browsed...

Roksanda Ilincic with Tammy Kane, her daughter Bonnie, and her brother Christopher Kane

CLB ♥ Oyu Moyu cashmere
CLB had the pleasure of meeting designer Oyuna Tserendorj at the luxury kidswear show Plusher recently and checking out her inspiring new kids' range Oyu Moyu. Tserendorj, who already has a successful global cashmere line for adults, has turned her attentions to 0-8 year olds, inspired by her three-year-old son. It works perfectly – cashmere was originally only used for young children – and with her playful designs, some of them subtly educational (like the jumpers with one arm blue and one yellow to show together they make green) it makes perfect sense. Each piece is accompanied...

J Crew comes to London
After months of anticipation, J Crew has finally opened up shop in London, with new branches in Regents Street and Draycott Street joining its menswear branch on Lambs Conduit Street. But does it live up to expectation? The American export, originally started as a catalogue brand in 1983 and known for its quality cashmere knits, has a cool subtle glamour that snappy dressers including Michelle Obama can't get enough of. Jenna Lyons, J Crew's creative director, knows how to create wearable-but-covetable clothes and that applies to Crew Cuts, its children's wear line too. CLB nipped...
