Out and About: Found the horses!

Image
Hey everybody! So I realized the other day, that I hadn't written anything from our everyday life in a very long time. Of course, with all the fantastic new autumn releases it has been one collection after the other, and so I thought it might be time to come back to basics, right?! This weekend has been all about enjoying the momentary slow life, relaxing with the family and not wanting to do anything special. These weekends somehow always turns out to be the best and the most adventurous in the end, maybe because you stop thinking about things you want to do and just fully appreciate and really notice the moment you are in. I tend to get "a tiny bit" hyper active when it comes to the weekends, there are so many things I want to do and see, and my husband is just the opposite who wants to relax! It's two different ways of disconnecting, but of course equally valid, and despite of everything we always seem to find a middle way that works for both of us.  This weekend t

Picnik Barcelona autumn/winter 2014 - Spanish kids fashion

Image
The Spanish brand  Picnik Barcelona  is up with yet another fabulous kidswear collection. I love their calm, non-pretentious, comfortable and cool style, their vintage-like fabrics in spot on color palettes and their simple and quirky prints that invites to tell a thousand stories. If this is the first time you hear about them, do also check out their awesome spring collection , which I wrote about some months ago.  Their autumn collection 2014 is all about day dreaming and you will find imaginative and inspirational prints like arrows and apples, stairways to heaven, whale song, a man under the moon, smiles and much more. Dresses are somehow always the last garment I look at, sorry! I have always been such a tomboy and I bet my poor daughter would love to be able to twirl a bit more ;) But their sweatdresses are just perfect for a midway agreement - cool, casual and comfortable. I especially love the lace detail around the arms and the ones with the huge kangaroo pocket in front, perf

Hambro & Miller AW14 - Cosy Scandi style knitwear for kids

Image
There is something really special about hand knitted clothes - the uniqueness of the particular garment, the art, the time and love put into the work, they can even provoke a certain melancholic mood, a sense of reassurance and above all, the word 'cosy' seems to always fit in. The UK based brand Hambro & Miller creates traditionally styled, hand knitted children's clothing using the finest natural yarn, like Baby Alpaca. Their collections aren't led by fashion, but emphasize on the traditional craft and take inspiration from the Scandinavian roots of the company to create practical, comfortable and very cosy, gender-neutral styles. I love this kind of garments, so calm yet funky in a retro way, and simple and natural yet they never get boring for their versatility - very Scandi! I especially have my eye on the waistcoats which are just perfect for layering, mixing and matching, and the raglan jumpers and warrior boots are adorable! Check out the whole collection

The quirky universe of Corby Tindersticks

One of my latest addictions is quirky, geeky and rather weird soft toys. I see them everywhere and there are so many talented artists having a ball right now making them. One of the most obvious designers from these last couple of years, and definitely one of my favorites, is UK label Corby Tindersticks ! I love their fun and very creative illustrations for kids, the hilarious stories behind the characters of their soft toys, the mix of eco-friendly materials and their aesthetic way of incorporating interactive features in their designs. Check out some of the lead roles from their autumn 2014 collection here: Quirky soft toys by Corby Tindersticks for autumn-winter 2014/15 This completely cracks me up! Their other character descriptions are just as far out as this one, definitely worth the visit!
