This time of year is one of the more exciting, with the arrival of the new spring/summer collections and all the kids fashion fairs happening around the globe, which exhibitors use to showcase the new autumn/winter 2012 collections from their respective  brands to all the shops and boutiques around, including Scandinavian Minimall.

I've just been to the Formex Fair in Stockholm, Sweden, where I caught up with How To Kiss A Frog amongst others and saw their gorgeous autumn/winter collection. This weekend it's time for Bubble in London, where I'm hoping to find some new labels as well as catching up with some of our 'old' favourites including Pale Cloud. On Monday next week it's time to travel to Paris for Playtime Paris, another kids fashion fair which is very inspirational, and we've got meetings booked in with Bobo Choses and Tuss, which we're very excited about, as we love both brands. Finally, next weekend it's the main Scandinavian kids fashion fair CPH Kids in Copenhagen, Denmark. We've got back to back meetings both days, including all the Danish brands BANGBANG Copenhagen, Poppy Rose, Soft Gallery and Petit By Sofie Schnoor.....Phew!! I'll try and update on Facebook and Twitter as much as I have time for, but hopefully you'll forgive me for the blog being a bit quiet over the next couple of weeks ;-)....Now where did I put my passport?!
