Five questions with... 
burp! boutique's Kate Hayden-Ellis

What do you sell?
We choose unique clothes, books, toys & posters.

When and why did it all begin?
It started after the birth of our daughter, Evie, in 2010. We were shocked at what was generally available on the high street for baby girls. Pink anyone? So we decided to collate a super cool collection of kids stuff. Our online shop launched in April 2011.

Biggest challenges?
Juggling! It's easier now that Evie is going to preschool a couple of days a week, but trying to create a successful business whilst still having quality time with my daughter can sometimes be a little bit tricky.

Greatest discoveries?
That I can actually achieve a lot by myself.

What makes Burp Boutique unique?
We don't pick anything twiddly or flouncy, our shop is bright, bold and beautiful and I think our products reflect that. We support individualism and promote more gender neutral items and clothing. We're not fans of everything being pink for girls and blue for boys.

What is your motto?
Ooh good question! Don't worry, be happy.

Little Hanbury - a new website for boys


Patch hoodie by ESP No1, £49

There are numerous great online fashion shops for little girls but hardly any dedicated purely to boys' style. Mum and creative thinker Sarah Elek spotted this gaping hole in the market and decided to fill it with a new website for tiny tykes (from 2-10 year olds). She has sourced a lovely selection of stylish pieces including Urbanears headphones, patterned Happy Socks (in super-cute tiny sizes) and fashion for mini hipsters by labels like Imps and Elfs and a CLB fave, Tootsa MacGinty. It's not all about just looking good though – Elek, mum to an active boy herself, knows that the items she's picked need to withstand the rough and tumble and multi-washes. At last, a one-stop shop for style-conscious boys (and their mums). Just add mud. www.littlehanbury.co.uk
