Take a little trip to the Tate Modern on Bankside at the moment and revel in a child’s sticker heaven in The Obliteration Room!

Artist Yayoi Kusama has painted an entire room white -tables, chairs, bookshelves, toys, plates, cups, ornaments – and then invited any visiting child (and adult!) to cover the room in thousands of sticky dots. The exhibition is running from February 9th until March 18th and you can chart it’s progress here. Our little Caramel baby loved it so much that I think we’ll be charting its progress in person!

We have a cunning plan … Here at the Caramel offices we’re shopping  for our Spring Summer wardrobe right now in the hope that all our bright-eyed optimism will banish Winter for a while and lure Spring out of her hiding place! Will you join us?

There’s nothing that makes us long for Spring more than when we’re admiring our new collection (hitting stores soon)! And we’re so happy that one of our looks has made it onto the cover of the always delightful Milk Kid’s Collections – ours is the little guy second from the right, sporting an apricot-striped breton top, classic Caramel skinny jeans in Viridian blue and our delicious honey coloured cardigan.

We’re putting away our Christmas decorations (this little guy is going to be replanted in the garden) and looking forward to a beautiful 2012! We’re excited to share it with you!

Dress by Caramel Baby & Child. Find a wide selection of dresses for baby girls here.

Need last minute gifts? Run out to one of our stores and you won’t need to go anywhere else!

Pavilion Road, Notting Hill and Brompton Road are all open until 5pm on Christmas Eve and Selfridges remains open until 5.30pm. And then it’s time to head home and start the celebrations  – we raise a glass of mulled wine to you!

Stock up on books for all those holiday reading marathons, online and in store!

So let us eat cake, indeed!

Christmas treats abound in the Caramel offices at the moment! Thanks Eva for swinging by Gail’s on your way to work this morning!

Find yourself a quiet fifteen minutes (if you can!) and settle down with a cup of tea and the latest digital issue of Papier Mache – it’s a beauty. (Spot us on page 19!)

Did you know we stock the Marni Kids collection in our Brompton Road store and online? We think this coat gives the perfect pop of colour on cold, winter days!
