Izzy & Ferd - A storytelling new kidswear brand

Image
My daughter loves wearing clothes that invite to storytelling, clothes that inspire and stimulate that wonderful imagination kids have. The new kidswear brand  Izzy & Ferd (I.F.) is exactly about that, they are a portal to a story of discovery and adventure. As they say, they make clothes for the curious and their brand name is actually inspired by the great patrons of exploration, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinan of Spain, who sponsored Christopher Columbus' voyage to America, being the question "What I.F." that got him that far... So those 500 little "what I.F.'s" we hear during the day are now going to be tripled! Can you take it? Of course you can!!! The Izzy & Ferd "20.000 Leagues" AW14 collection is now available in their webshop  or you can check this retailer list for more options. Don't forget to join the KID family for more  cool kids fashion and style inspiration!

Out and about: Boats!

Image
So this weekend we did one of our absolute favorite things, going to the sea to have a seafood paella! Sorry, when I even started thinking about the camera we were already way in to the coffee, so no photos of that baby, but man it was good! Anyways, the best thing for my daughter, O., was definitely the walk around the port, admiring all of the beautiful boats and dreaming about taking one of them to sea. She is fascinated about all kinds of transportation, but there is something special or romantic and almost mystical about boats sailing off into the ocean that just makes you wonder and imagine the life out there...     O. is such a busy little bee, it is so lovely seeing how everything interests her and how easily amazed she is with even the most insignificant little doodle. All things must be examined and at the moment everything even talks, whether it's a small ant, a beautiful stone, a piece of garbage or a tree about to be peed on! I love walking around with her making up al

Tale of Boy - Cool and edgy kids style from the UK

Image
Today I am loving the British kids fashion label Tale of Boy . It's a small scale brand making unique, handmade children's clothes designed and produced in London. They draw inspiration from the wonderful multitude of subcultures in their surroundings and the general buzzing life in the city, creating their  own particular edgy and raw style that I am completely crazy about!  Awesome prints, playful textures and funky cuts, oh yeah! I have had the pleasure of receiving these super cool kids fashion shots by the lovely photographer Alexandra Cooper , which I have mixed with some of my favorite styles currently available in their webshop . Leah Rose , the designer behind Tale of Boy , produces very limited collections monthly or bimonthly to ensure the uniqueness of every product, and from there on never looks back. So if you have fallen for one (or ten..) of their styles do not hesitate to go for it right away, cause tomorrow there are big chances of them being gone! The Tale of

Kids on the Moon AW14 - 'Space Time' kids fashion collection

Image
Hey everybody,  it's Monday morning; I need something extra clean, simple and fresh to clear out my mind and get this week started nicely. Know the feeling? Well, that and a steamy cup of black coffee!  The new  Kids on the Moon  collection has been waiting all jippery in my inbox for a perfect occasion. This is it! This season the Polish kids fashion brand takes us on a journey in space and time. Nothing is as it seems, illusions play with our senses. No gravity clothing in 4 dimensions - 3D is represented in the geometrical shapes of autumn ponchos and vests, sculptured skirts and soft structures of padded quilts. The 4th dimension is reflected as time warps where unicorns and ruffles reappear... Crispy clean lines, simplicity and minimalist style. I love the light weight color palette dominated by grey tones, grey melange, blues and honey, so easy and natural and perfect for mixing and matching. I have also especially fallen for their quilted fabrics (the ponchos are so good!) a
