As my baby bump grows and the weather turns colder, I am forever grateful for my cashmere wraps and knits, as they are light to wear and provide exactly the right amount of warmth I need at the moment...

Despite the constant travelling over the past two months and the busy work schedule at Stellina Baby, I am feeling well and am so looking forward to this latest addition to our family... My only regret, though, has been not finding out whether we are expecting a little boy or a little girl...and this is having a serious effect on my new designs...

As I get together our new range for Bubble London, I find myself thinking up lovely girls items and am stuck on some of the boys more basic styles... Perhaps it is a sign... or perhaps it is just wishful thinking!

With Tyrone's and Louis's cashmere (obviously) lacking the right amount of pink, I thought long and hard on whether to do it or not, but I eventually decided to collect some stock and put it aside before the Christmas rush strikes in, in time for our end of January due date...

The selection has been difficult, as there are so many lovely girls' items (I am not biased, am I?), but I settled for three of my favourites and for some essentials too...

My first choice has been the Perla, our very popular 100% Cashmere outer and 100% Cotton inner dress, in the most gorgeous charcoal shade with soft rose contrast pockets and arm borders.

I just HAD TO keep one aside, as I love its very simple, yet charming design.

All of the Stellina Baby clients who bought the Perla unanimously agree that this dress is beautifully knitted, and that it has the right amount of quirkiness  and elegance and is made with the loveliest construction ever!

My second favourite  choice is the Goccia, Stellina Baby's own take on the classic pram coat. I simply adore this double breasted coat, made with the softest 100% Italian Cashmere yarn, in the same charcoal shade outer and a soft rose lining  of the Perla.

Please, please don't tell Alistair... but I also sneaked in one of  our Mandarino, the 100% Cashmere Baby Blanket with the loveliest alternate small and large cable design... in Rose Pink, again...

My basic selection is based on a selection of tights and socks... the Amarello Ribbed Tights in Grey, the Pallina Starry Tights and the Miele in Jasmine/Rose... and, lastly , of one of the Pralina striped comfort blankies... in the Rose/Aqua/Jasmine/Charcoal stripe...

Enough for the moment? Well, yes, even if  I am sure am going to keep having a look thorugh the stock (I need to for range planning purposes, don't I ?) and seeing whether there is anything else I am missing...
