In case it escaped your notice, the 'keri' (mango-shape) is a very "hot" fashion item. We are doubly thrilled that high street store 'Next' is also featuring it for autumn and winter clothes in the UK.

Still available in the shops are their fabulous cardigans featuring an embroidered paisley pattern at the base. Made in China from 55% Viscose and 45% Nylon these can be readily hand washed and dried flat.

My particular favourite is the mauve coloured cardigan, but it is also available in red and sky blue priced at £39.99 (M43696141, Mauve) (M20750149, Red).

This summer's shift dress from 'Next' is bright red with shoestring straps. Made from 100% Viscose & Polyester it will survive multiple washes without ruining the swivel (asymmetric) cut at its base. Extremely feminine, it costs a mere £49.99 (M23790135).

Kids clothing at Next is simply 'keri'zy. This autumn they are carrying a lilac coloured range for girls which includes a fleece gilet (waistcoat) made from 100% polyester and 100% cotton lining for comfort and easy washing, Made in Sri Lanka; the waistcoat features simple 'keri' print on the edges of the pockets. Priced at £13.00 (M44204056) we think it looks great.

Also in the same range is a pair of lilac leggings in 'keri' and floral (wisteria paisley) green and white print. Manufactured in Portugal, the leggings are 95% cotton and 5% lycra (elastane) ensuring that they will retain their shape no matter how often you wash them. A machine wash at 50 degrees is what is suggested, however. Priced at £7.99 (M53616056) the leggings offer good value for money.

There are several long sleeved tops to match the leggings. Firstly a white, wisteria paisley top in the same range. Priced at £8.99 (M54499052) and made from 100% cotton in Portugal they form a natty two-piece of our little darlings!

Secondly, a purple/violet long sleeved top featuring a butterfly on the front provides an alternative combination. Made in Portugal from 100% cotton it is easy to wash and will keep its shape. This butterfly will not metamorphose back into a caterpillar at £8.99 (M93866057).

Also in the same range is a lilac long sleeved top featuring wisteria paisley embroidery along the dainty, fluted sleeves. This item is made from 100% cotton in Portugal and will set you back £7.99 (M54494057)

Next even feature a pair of combination lilac and white socks to complete the outfit, see below. Priced at £3.99 for a pair (M63991347), both socks feature the wisteria paisley design and are made of cotton & Lycra

If you prefer an "ensemble", Next feature a navy fleece top (M54197053) with embroidery on the sleeves. Made in Sri Lanka from 100% polyester (the lining is 80% cotton and 20% polyester. Navy leggings with a slight flare at the base, feature the same print and are available priced at £9.99 (M53700056). Like most of Next's leggings they are made from 95% cotton for comfort and 5% Lycra (Elastane) so they keep their shape even after multiple washes.
