Christmas Shoppi
WINTER CLOTHES for kids this Christmas come in autumnal colours for girls and a rugged, retro look for boys. For clothes a little out of the ordinary. Jellybeans on Eyre Street stocks up to the minute fashions for youngsters that are also practical, and will keep them safe and warm this winter. Suede and cord in colours such as heather, greens, and burnt orange, are very popular for girls, while comfy wool and cotton jumpers and turtlenecks and combatstyle trousers are ideal for boys. "Even by age three or so, y o u n g s t e r s can be quite particular about what they like and what they'll wear," says Steven Craughwell, who runs the store with his wife, Bernadettc. He says it is i m p o r t a n t to k e e p in mind what the child normally wears, e m p h a s i s i n g that many young girls have taken a d i s l i k e to pink! Also, to stop children growing out of c l o t h e s t o o s o o n , remember to always buy a size too large. For example, for a newborn, buy a 12 month piece. For a twoyear-old, buy clothes for three to four year olds. This homegrown store stocks many unique, stylish p i e c e s for those special Christmas occasions, such as an elegant and chic two piece for girls consisting of black trousers and red cord top. And for semi-formal wear for boys, check out the Belgian Terra Misu and Mini-Su range of separates in wool and warm cotton.
