little winter wonders - walnut desert boots

For both the little miss and the little master in your household, these desert boots from Walnut are chic yet sensible footwear for keeping cute sausage toes warm (a quick aside - I absolutely adore children's feet - they are so adorable and chubby!). Available in an array of colours and in suede or leather, every child's wardrobe should include a pair of these this Winter.

See here for South Australian stockists (boots can also be purchased online through the Walnut website, but I think you're safer to try on before you buy).

little winter wonders - crochet beanies from pink apple

The cool Autumn nights are upon us and have got me thinking about all the things that I love about cold weather - electric blankets (I thank my husband for our fabulous blanket with 10, yes 10, heat settings!), hot chocolates, ugh boots, warming glasses of a good Shiraz at the end of a day, and last, but certainly not least, the fashions!

Stores and magazines are already overloaded with the most adorable cool-weather fashions this season - beautiful little knits, traditional fabrics (think corduroy), and hip desert boots (more on those to come), so I have decided to start a series for this blog titled "Little Winter wonders" - cute clothes to keep the littlies warm this Autumn/Winter.

These gorgeous crochet beanies from South Australian online store Pink Apple are my first must-have item for your little princess. So mini-Ali McGraw in "Love Story" - too cute!
