Men in tights
Tights are great for keeping little legs and feet warm in winter. But why should they be reserved just for girls? Don’t boys deserve to be toasty warm too? Well, now you can avoid lost socks, cover up freezing ankles, and streamline your little man’s outfit with Little Titans uber hip tights for boys. Cool boyish stripes and cute novelty knits (including footballer and superhero) make funky winter dressing a breeze. With a cosy terry-lined foot and non-slip sole, they’re sized to keep tootsies warm for babies through to three-year-olds.

Looks we love: all buttoned up
This post is sponsored by mybid.com.au
Looking for style inspiration that transcends the ages? Today we’re inspired by button tufted upholstery – a look that never seems to date.
On bedheads, sofas and ottomans, button tufting adds a chic, polished look that can be dressed up or down. Pair it with gold and glass and suddenly you’re in an opulent French salon; take a pared-back 60s approach for a modern look; use rich velvets for a luxurious five-star vibe, or mix patterns and colour for vintage style. But above all, tufted upholstery says comfort. It’s those lazy Sunday mornings reading the paper on a velvety Chesterfield, or resting against a soft bedhead feeding a newborn baby. Ah, bliss!

Twoothy grin

This super cute timer looks great, is fun to use and makes it easy for kids to know if they’ve been brushing long enough – no batteries required. And hopefully not too many dentist trips required either, now they’re fighting tooth decay so effectively.
