BillieBlush - Spring/Summer 2014



This new and exciting brand, just about to enter its second season, has created a stir in the world of children's fashion. 

The brand was created to cater for a mid range designer children's market.  C.W.F. Children's Worldwide Fashion, the licensee holders of some of the world best known children's designers brands such as Hugo Boss, Burberry, Timberland and Chloe, created BillieBlush to fill the gap between that unique designer flare and the price tag attached to it.

To view the whole collection please click here: Billieblush


Autumn/Winter 2013 will only be their second season and already some of the biggest players in the kids fashion industry are stocking the brand, Harrods, Selfridges and more. The likes of Victoria Beckham's little girl Harper has also been spotted wearing Spring/Summer 13!



Kiddi Clobber went to view the Spring/Summer 2014 collection last week and we were blown away at how gorgeous and wearable the clothing is. On her first buying trip, my daughter came with me. Her first reaction when she walked through the door of the showroom was that of utter delight. A kid in candy store to say the least! Look on and you'll see why...



Their stunning raincoat, all ready a best seller this season in all pink, will come in gold and pink next year... Yummy eh?... Yes!... We thought you'd say that...


Beautiful, yet cool playsuit... Light and easy to wear but the intricate detailing makes this stand out from the crowd.


With a variety of styles and colours, these shorts and tops are easily mixed and matched.


Simple summer dresses...


...and a selection of occasion wear that little girls will just love.
My one certainly did!


BillieBlush wil be available in sizes 2yrs - 12yrs

We would love to hear your thoughts or feedback of this brand or if their is anything more you would like to know please ask us...!


Free Educational Games for Kids - Make Your Own

Make Your Own Educational Games

We know that education for our children is one of the most important aspects in their life, but when they bring home their homework sometimes both you and your child can seem a little deflated at the monotony of it all. 

We have put together some cheap ways both you and your child can get involved in creating games that will have them hooked from the start. If they help make them, they are more likely to want to see how they work... 

Messy play and education all rolled into one. Its a winner all round!

The great thing about creating your own is you can make them however you like. Add themes that your child loves.  They can be as individual as you as like. Tailored made just for them!


Make a card for each player with numbers 1 - 6 spread randomly over your shape. Roll the dice - The first to highlight all their numbers wins! Use counters if you do not want to keep making the shapes over and over again. Be creative and draw whatever shapes you like...


Park The Car Word Game

The is a great way of helping your child recognise phonics or sight words. Maybe its spellings this week... You say the word and you child parks the car in the right bay!


Lego Maths Game

Most children as we know love lego. It is the best selling toy of all time. Why not incorporate this into a simple game. The one with highest tower at the finish wins...


Match The Letters

If you are teaching you child to recognise the alphabet why not use this simple but affect method. You can customise your roll. Maybe turn it into a fairy wand or a sword. Then when they are done, maybe a sword fight or few wishes afterwards...


Shut The Box

Once your child gets hooked on this you'll want to have dice, paper and a pen with you every time you leave the house. The same rules apply as in shut the box.


Blast Off

My name is......?....... rocket blocks long! 
Stick them on their bedroom doors when your finished.


Apple Picking For Literacy

A great excuse to spend the day outdoors. Oh and some letter recognition at the same time.


These ideas are simple yet affective. If you also have some great idea, we would love you to share them us and everybody else.

Kids Designer Clothing Spring/Summer 2014 - Bubble London

Kids Designer Clothing for Spring/Summer 2014
Bubble June 2013

It was another exciting and successful Bubble London this June.  Over 250 brands were out in full force, with over 80 new attendees showing off their creations and trying to break into the UK market. 

Bubble London is a retailers heaven.  Not only is it a great way to meet the brands in person, but you get to feel the quality and workmanship put into the each individual collection. 

Kiddi Clobber had the pleasure of attending the two day event and whilst we enjoyed seeing our old favourites, we spotted some really exciting new brands that we believe are worth taking note of...

...and of course we will always share with you! x



As spotted on Harper Beckham this summer, the new brand BillieBlush has certainly made headways in the UK childrens clothing market.  Spring/Summer 14 will be their 3rd season and already the likes of Selfridges and Harrods are stocking the brand. 

The collection has many storyboards which are cleverly designed around electric pinks, oranges and, as seen in the picture above, golds and blues. 

As well as some well known smaller online boutiques, Kiddi Clobber is keen to get their hands on this mid-market affordable brand.   Billieblush do not currently have their own online store.  But rest assured Kiddi Clobber has already ordered in the SS14 collection which should arrive mid February 2014.

Kiddi Clobber choose brands that are easily wearable for our little ones, but have that unique designer flare that stands out from the high street.



Piupiuchick

Oooh, we just loved these. Gorgeous playsuits, nappy covers and matching body suits and tops.  Puipuichick create sets that can be worn by brother and sister alike. Each girls item has a matching boys item to compliment it, or visa versa.






Ilovegorgeous

This beautiful girls only brand has done it again.  The SS14 collection has the unique styles that we have grown to love, but has added in an Indian influence to some new styles that I'm sure you'll be running to the shops to buy.  
To see more of the Ilovegorgeous SS14 collection click here.



Lucas Frank

We are really excited about this brand.  A family brand that was co-created by an Armani designer, really is was it says on the tin, "Boyish & British".  The attention to detail on their range of tops and rugby shirts is all in the stitching and overlapping of colours around the collars.  The good news is these cost a lot less than the boys market leaders such as Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss. 






Lilly + Sid

Junior Design Award winners for the 3rd year running.  Lilly + Sid  are all about fun bold prints that offer comfort and wearability. They have two collections, one for babies and the other for older kids up to 8yrs.






No Added Sugar

No Added Sugar have re-vamped the brand this season with keys influences from liberty prints. It'll be like marmite, you'll either love it or hate, but WE just loved it!
Well done guys, it was long overdue x



Rachel Riley

With the new royal arrival this year, it is no wonder that at Bubble lots of collections had key items to reflect this regal hype. None more so than Rachel Riley. With a whole part of the collection dedicated to it Rachel Riley are one of our favourite brands.
