BG has always been about cool, colourful unisex childrenswear. So, when Tootsa MacGinty launched back in 2011 we were all over designer Kate’s fun, vibrant designs. We have featured many of our favourites over the years – from the iconic fox jumpers to the brilliant block colour gillets – but I really think this spring/summer […]

Nelly’s Treasures cushions
Continuing on the room decor theme, how gorgeous are these screen-printed cushions I spotted over on Etsy? They’re by Cardiff-based maker Nelly’s Treasures and there are loads of designs to choose from, from llamas to flying saucers and butterflies to hot air balloons.

Katherine Griffin woodland wall stickers
If you watch our Instagram Stories (and if you don’t, why not?), you’ll know that Alfie, Kitty and I have been spending a lot of time on the Snailspace trail lately, visiting the many artist-decorated snail sculptures currently scattered all over Brighton.

Sass & Belle rainbow rug
Not only is this one of the cutest and most colourful little rugs I’ve ever seen, at £9.95, it’s also one of the cheapest! It’s by Sass & Belle and would be perfection for a rainbow-themed nursery. Snap one up from Butterfly Nest Interiors, but be quick as there’s limited stock available.

BG Goes to… The Roman Baths

We try to visit historic houses and sites as often as […]
Brighton Festival and Fringe for children

I’ve picked a […]
