Scandinavian Minimall

One of the greatest  and most fun things about working with children's clothes is probably the photoshoots, especially when you get to work with wonderful children like the ones below. Most of the work is done before the shoot (outfits, setting etc) to make it as smooth and fun as possible for everyone involved, especially the children. Luckily our six lovely models were really patient and happy so we think we all did a good job and we're really pleased with the day.  

These looks are all inspired by scandinavian summer. We love to mix match colours and prints and have fun with accessories. In the world of kids fashion there are no rules just fun. See below and hopefully, be inspired!

In the first picture Wilhelm is wearing Mini Rodini Panda Cap (now unfortunately out of stock), Mini Rodini Jaguar Sweatshirt In Green, Finger In The Nose ICON Unisex Five Pockets Slim Fit Jeans In Firered and Mini Rodini Striped Sneakers. A perfect outfit for dinner outside or playing on a cool summer's day.

We love sneak peaks! Especially when they are this promising....Bang Bang Copenhagen is an amazingly cool label which is quirky, different (in a good way) but also very, very stylish. It's one of our favourite labels. As simple as that. I've said it before and I am saying it again, bring on Spring/Summer 13 (but I do love Christmas, so not quite yet ;-))

It's about a week until it's Halloween and Mr Scandinavian Mini, 3.5, has been speaking about it now for 2 weeks. He's very curious as to why you there are so many Jack'o'lanterns around - the carved pumpkins used for Halloween to keep ghosts out - and so we've decided to make some ourselves this coming weekend. It's not a holiday Swedish families traditionally celebrate, but in recent years it's become more and more popular, but I would say even more so over here in the UK where we live. At Scandinavian Minimall we have a small selecion of clothes  for a stylish Halloween outfit for your children, shown below. We especially dig the Love Skull wellies and the Mini Rodini Cobra styles! SPOOKILY COOL!

Have you seen the amazing Sleepy Cat Dress from quirky label Bang Bang Copenhagen on the latest cover of Junior Magazine in the UK? It's uniqueness and its many wonderfully quirky details have made it one of the fastest sellers of all time at Scandinavian Minimall, within 5 days it was sold out in all sizes. The dress is in a lightweight black denim fabric, and the cat collar has long eyelashes and neon pink whiskers. We're lucky enough to have gotten hold of a few more which is now in the process of being sent to us, good news, eh?

Mikas wishlist:

'Here are my favourites from Scandinavian Minimall. 1) I love stripes and the fact that the mehari truck looks hand drawn. BOBO CHOSES Mehari Long Sleeve Tee . 2) This MINI Rodini Jacket is another favourite, I think it's such a cool jacket.  3, 4 and 6) Bang Bang Copenhagen is a favourite brand of mine so I've chosen three pieces that I really like from the boys selection. I love triangle shapes and this Bang Bang Copenhagen Parade Sweater was designed to look like Japanese Origami. The Lucky Sweatpants are so cool and will fit my little boy really well. And the Jolly Sweatshirt is great for both formal as well as casual occasions 5) I love this Sammy Eggit skirt from LIVLY, but won't be buying it as unfortunately I don't have a girl....and the same goes with this gorgeous LIBBY dress from Livly 8). 7) I love this pirate print tee from MINI RODINI, such a fun print and I've bought this for my son and he really likes it too! Finally I think the Owl Mariko Jacket from Soft Gallery (not pictured) is a great jacket and fits both boys and girls.
