Italian label Album Di Famiglia makes clothes for babies that are so muted, so soft, and so sweet, you'll never want to put baby down. Never brash or loud, the apparel must be as soothing to a newborn's skin as they are to the eye. Each time I have brought a new baby home, my first instinct is for their clothing and footwear to be as unobstrusive as possible as they adjust to the strange new world they have just come into. I refrain from wearing perfumes and keep the environment as pure to the ears, nose and eyes as possible. Things get a bit more rock n roll after the 6 week mark, but there's nothing quite like a new baby in soft hues and fabrics.

For Autumn, Winter and Springtime babies, cotton socks may not be enough to keep tiny toes and feet warm. These gorgeous Pepe Booties will envelope their vulnerable extremities in second-to-none softness with lush tones of blackcurrant, strawberry and brown. Made from a cotton, flannel and acrylic blend, they also have a small button loop so that they stay put on your baby's feet. No more retracing your steps to find that precious lost bootie!

Pepe Booties are available from Little Fashion Gallery, who also stock a wide range of Album Di Famiglia apparel. You can dress your baby in head to toe co-ordinating pieces, or mix it up a bit with contrasting colour choices. Booties are €45, with clothing starting at €45, plus shipping. I just love the chic packaging!
