Miss Smith: . bUbble . lOndon .

one of the things i love about february is that it usually marks the beginning of a new season's work . premiere vision takes place next week & we all start to look ahead to spring&summer . but with snow still falling it's sometimes hard to start thinking of summer dresses . of shorts & swimsuits . of pretty spring florals & hot madras checks . so it was lovely to step back into autumn&winter & have a sneak peek at all the new collections that will be launched later this year .

originating in New York in 2008 before quickly crossing the pond . bubble . london . has quickly established itself as the main tradeshow & go to event for kIdswear in the uk . whilst it has undoubtedly grown since it's launch it's still retains a small & intimate atmostphere . continuing to champion homegrown brands for brands that design & manufacture here in the uk . last year saw the launch of nest . which showcases international brands .

i've always loved the quirkiness & individuality of the brands who show at bubble . london . very different from the bIg names that are attracted by the much bigger show at pitti bImbo . this year i was delighted to spot a new boyswear range from a brand i lOve . billieblush now has a brother . billybandit . & he sports a really cool wardrobe ! another lOvely label bonnie baby introduced the bonnie mob . just right for bonnie baby's older siblings . whilst i was a little tOo distracted looking at all the new ranges to take tOo many photo's luckily instagram has come to my rescue & proved a fab source of imagery to share with you all .
