Little Crew Review

This is the first time we have ever reviewed an iPhone app, as we have been doing our best to remain tech free on theirlittleworld; however, when our P.R gal, Anna, came across this unique app, we had to share it with those of you that love to shop, especially those of you that love to shop online.

The app, called Little Crew, offers daily reviews and updates straight to your phone.

Australian mum Peta, the managing director and developer of the Little Crew app, writes these reviews on items she purchases for her three children, the reviews are based on the customer service that comes along with the product, the quality of the product that arrives and a short story of why the item was purchased and who for.

Peta created the app to make shopping online easier for parents, “We developed the app to create an umbrella for all of the online shops that sell luxury kidswear. The app is something that parents can easily use, trust and rely on, to give them information about kids’ products sold online, as well as the shops that they come from.”

Each article is short and sweet and written in a way that makes the review feel like more like a chat with a friend over coffee, than a tyrpical product review. It is honest feedback, from one parent to another.

We were thrilled to have Little Crew review some of the alexandalexa.com stock, which included reviews on a Juicy Couture Track Suit, Little Marc Jacobs’ Tee Shirt , Cacharel Dress, Torres Dress, Ed Hardy Tee Shirt, Vilebrequin Swim Shorts and Simple Kids Brand Review.

To purchase the app, read some of Peta’s reviews, or suggest a product for her to try, visit the Little Crew website at: www.littlecrew.net – BUT for a limited time only, the Little Crew Review App is FREE! So sign up now!

History of the Hoodie

The hood is a marvelous invention, perfect for keeping off the rain, protecting our little ears, and creating one of the most popular items of the modern wardrobe, The Hoodie.

The Hoodie is an item we all own, and an object of our wardrobe that encompasses all of our favorite adjectives: comfortable, cozy and casual.

The garment first came into play in the Middle Ages as part of Catholic monk’s tunics, which had long decorative hoods or ‘cowls’; however, the history of the specific style we wear today began in the 1930s, produced by the brand Champion, for workers cold storage warehouses.

The popularity of Champion’s design spread quickly and sportswear designers began to develop entire collections based around the clothing item. By the 1970s, the hoodie was a clothing classic, perfect for sports, camping, chilling, studying, layering, styling and so on…

In countries where children need not wear a uniform, it is the perfect back to school wardrobe piece, and for kids that do wear uniforms, it is a great cover-up on a cold fall day, so, in celebration of the back to school season (which is creeping up far to quickly) we picked out 8 of our favourite hoodies for your children from the world’s best kidswear designers:

1. D&G JUNIOR blue hooded zip-up jumper, £102.00
