Pretty Pregnant opens in Islington

I just nipped into the newly opened Pretty Pregnant store on Upper Street to pick up some nursing tops for the forthcoming arrival of CLB #2. And what a joy it was. Big, bright and airy with super helpful staff and a handy play area for toddlers, I didn't want to leave. As well as stocking a great range of clothing (both smart and everyday) for mums-to-be from pretty frocks by BellyButton to bump-friendly 7 For All Mankind jeans, there's a good section of pop-pregnancy nursing bras and clothing by brands such as Swedish label Boob (I bought two excellent breast-feeding tops for half price in the current sale). They even offer an at-home bra measuring service - perfect for new mummies who find it hard to get out. North London mums-to-be have been somewhat neglected in the chic maternity shop department, with most of the stylish ones being located in South and West London (they also have shops in Dulwich, Clapham and Chelsea) but not anymore. Welcome to N1 PP!

Pretty Pregnant, 271 Upper Street, London N1 2UQ (0207 226 9822/www.prettypregnant.co.uk) Highbury & Islington tube. Open Mon-Sat 10 am - 6 pm, Sun 11 am - 5 pm.

EMU Australia pops-up in London with 30 per cent discount for CLB readers!

Sheepskin aficionados know that EMU Australia is one of the more authentic - not to mention credible - Aussie footwear brands around. Founded by the coast in Geelong, southern Australia, surfers would come off the beach to the Jackson's tannery to look for off-cuts for their tired feet. EMU still operates this 130 year old tannery. We love the cute styles for babies and children, including the shark, above and ladybird, below. Now you can shop the range at a temporary pop-up store in one of CLB's favourite independent shopping streets, Lambs Conduit Street. What's more, EMU Australia are offering Chic Little Baby readers a generous 30 per cent discount on stock. Just mention 'ChicLittleBaby' at the check out. The offer applies to phone orders - purchases can be posted.

EMU Australia pop-up, 47 Lamb’s Conduit Street, London, WC1N 3NG (020 7242 9876/www.emuaustralia.com) Holborn tube. Open 10am - 6pm Mon-Fri, 11am – 7pm Sat.
