Wolf & Rita SS15 'The Kids from Ipanema'

Image
This week has been the coldest week in Barcelona in years. My body is aching for sun, spring, outdoor concerts, feeling the warm breeze in my face, sticky melting ice creams on my hands and that moment of the first swim at the beach... Ooooooh, it cannot get here fast enough!  Seeing the new Spring-Summer 2015 look book of  Wolf & Rita  just takes one right there!  The collection is inspired by Brazil's wild and tropical animals, exotic Amazon tribes and the beautiful Bossa Nova song 'The Girl from Ipanema' by Jobim and Morais as the perfect soundtrack for the sunny days ahead. An absolutely stunning collection full of colors, explosions of stripes, wonderful feathers and lots of curated details, like the oversized collars and extra large dresses. ' The kids put on their straw hats and look at the bright blue ocean, summer is approaching and happiness fulfills their hearts. If only summer could be eternal...

Kira Kids Spring-Summer 2015 sneak peek!

I have been in love with Kira Kids after seeing their cool AW14 collection last season ( Check it out here ). I purchased some sweatshirts for O. from their webshop and was just amazed with the super soft and light terry fabric apart from the quirky and really awesome design. It really is the kind you just want to live in day and night! Even her dad was a bit jealous wanting one for him also ;) Anyways, it got me intrigued and so I got to ask the designer, Cristine Tang , a couple of questions regarding their new, upcoming collection which you can see below. What were some of your inspirations behind the new collection? How much does SS15 differ from SS14?   My new Spring/Summer 2015 collection "Let's Get Lost Together" , is inspired by daydreams of Hawaii trips and my obsession with food especially tropical fruits and burgers. I have also added many new styles to this collection including summer dresses, baby bloomers, tank top onesies and amazingly soft french terry s

New pre-spring items 2015 by Little Cocoa Bean

I have had little time for the blog lately with the new collections arriving to the store and my daughter sick all last week. I have the great privilege to be a work-at-home-mom, but this is also my disadvantage, cause I get ZERO done when there are kids around! I don't even want to try, but prefer to dedicate my time 100% to her and get some intensive work done during the night. I bet I am not alone on this one, right? 'No sleep til Brooklyn' seems to be on repeat on my mind... Anyways, surfing around the web I noticed that the organic children's label  Little Cocoa Bean has just released new fabulous stuff in their online shop . I have written about them on an earlier occasion  and they never seem to disappoint! Super cool,  monochrome mini collection with funky dashes of red, olé!  Check it out:   I love, love, love those hat pants  and those amazing blankets of recycled organic cotton are too cozy!!!  Check out the Little Cocoa Bean website for purchases and you c

I absolutely love Gardner and the Gang ! I love their hilarious, quirky and very original illustrations with those rather psychedelic characters. They are launching their new collection the 28th of January and I can't wait! For this spring 2015 the Singapore based Swedish graphic designer,  Kristin Nyström , is delivering the enchanted world of magic and rock and roll. Here you will find the magician Zebra Patsy who put a spell on their famous figure Helmut the Flamingo and turned him into a Kiss loving dachshund called Geen - wonderful stuff! For their lookbook Kristin has gathered a simply brilliant team: The styling is done by Renata Ferko ( Curated By ) and photography by Maya Vidulich ( Miss Maya ). Check it out:     Fantastic, right?! On top of that Gardner and the Gang makes their cool kids clothes of organic goodness, which makes me completely sold.  But as I mentioned, you will have to have patience and wait a week more before the launch where it will be available in thes
