When it comes to fashion inspiration for both mum and baby, Lucy Mecklenburgh is one of those celebs that a lot of people love to take inspiration from, so we were chuffed to hear she had launched another range with Very.
Whilst her previous collections featured plenty of athleisure, summer-based tops, dresses and swimwear, this new collection is all about the cooler months, with matching family pyjamas, festive fashion and even some Christmas home décor bits. Plus, there are lots of pieces for your little mini-me too.
Speaking of the new range, Lucy said: “I'm absolutely thrilled to be launching my third collection with Very. The festive season is my favourite time of year, I love getting our home ready for all the cosy nights and celebrations, so the collection has everything to make the house feel special this winter. And I've not forgotten about winter warmers! There's gorgeous new knitwear, which is super easy to style up or down. The new kidswear is simply adorable too, I can't wait to see Lilah and Roman all dressed up for special family days out, or cuddled up for Christmas films in our matching PJs. I hope you enjoy the new range as much as I’ve loved putting it together!”

Who is Lucy Mecklenburgh's collection for?
Just like Lucy's previous collection, this clothing line is perfect for babies, kids and women of all ages. The products are not only stylish but affordable too, plus the sizes are inclusive. We love how it combines gym and sportswear, every day and work clothes with leisurewear, helping to create a brilliantly comfy wardrobe, because however you spend your day, comfort is key (particularly if you're a new parent).
Lucy has two children and a step-daughter, so she knows that when it comes to kids' and baby clothes, it's all about how they feel as much as it is about what they look like, so most of her children's pieces in this range are made from super soft fabric and the designs are simple but stylish with block colours.
