Bubble

A few impressions for you from Bubble London today where the designers were showing their Spring/Summer 2014 collections. Oh so many nice things! We were very impressed and are looking forward to next summer season already!

Affordable Art Fair

Ever heard of The Affordable Art Fair? Chances are high. Since the start in 1996 the AFF has grown from a marquee in Battersea Park as a one off, till a worldwide happening. Three times per year it takes place in London and one of these are here in North London on Hampstead Heath.

I went there yesterday evening. The marquee is massive! 113 galleries are displaying their favourite art priced in the range of £40-£4.000. For me who love art but don't find enough time these days to go to all the galleries I want, this was heaven! The were photographs, sculptures, oil, acrylic, watercolour, and all types of techniques. So many nice pieces!

I made a few Instagram snapshots of some of the ones I liked the most. At the bottom you see what I walked home with... A small print by Barbara Jackson from the Printmakers Association in Gabriel's Wharf, Southbank. Isn't it nice? :)

The AFF is on from today till Sunday (13th-16th June) so if you live locally and enjoy art I can really recommend a visit. Link here.

The one I walked home with!

Mirror, mirror....

One of our little customers has shared these sweet photos with us! Little Miss M is such an adorable little girl and certainly knows how to work the pout and the pose for the camera... She is for sure a top candidate when we need a model next time!

We are so happy to see that she liked her Scotch Rbelle Tuxedo Blazer and Derhy Kids Trilby hat (sorry now sold out).

We love pinterest ! Such a great media for saving and displaying your favourite photos and ideas. 

As we often seek inspiration in the internet and browse through numerous design and fashion sites we really like to collect some of the most inspiring and awesome pictures in this place. Also for our customers to enjoy!

Here is a little sample of some of our boards:

Children of our world - when we started this board we almost couldn't stop... we found so many pictures of beautiful, beautiful children from all over the world, from all backgrounds and cultures. We would dare to say that this is actually our favourite board... Look at these adorable little people!

Or these ones that we pinned to our 'vintage little fashion board'. Aren't they beautiful!

 

You can even find inspiration for some amazing nurseries from our board 'little interiors':

Objective Styling - Pop, rock and loads of attitude with Shannon from Pop Street Kidz

This week our Objective Stylist is lovely Shannon from the american blog POP STREET KIDZ. Shannon is blogging about kids' fashion and is showing stylish outfits from brands all over the world. Often her son is the model. And what a model! He just looks so cool! :)

Shannon introduces herself here:

"my passion for fashion stems back to my childhood and wearing my 2 older sister's hand-me-downs; never being given the opportunity until high school to express my own personal style. When my first son, Jack was born I sought out only the fresh and unique fashion for him. I delighted in taking him from preppy to punk; mixing up his style until he was old enough to decide which one fit his personality. He was also a behavioral challenge starting off in Kindergarten (later we found that he had epilepsy) his teachers would constantly tell me how difficult it was for them to discipline or become upset with him due to how cute and well-styled he was. From Kindergarten forward, his fashion and style became the "mask" reminding me even as an adult that yes outward appearance in our society does matter; does make a difference. Now with social media in play, I am able to express and share my passion with the world through fashion choices and finds that I make for my youngest son, Wynn (6). I am constantly inspired by the world we live in and could sit all day in a park just watching people walk by. As for fashion inspiration, I want the world to recognize my children as the unique individuals that they are. From boys to men, it's no secret that when you look good you feel good and being well-styled is something that any income can achieve providing the effort is made."

We really like her board which matches well with her own blog's style. A bit rocky and edgy with an attitude... :)

Thank you so much Shannon for participating and we wish you good luck with your blog!

Happy Birthday!

Molo Kids is turning 10 and will mark this event by a special jubilee serie from the autumn-winter collection.

This week Molo revealed their first jubilee prints – the adorable ‘Rabbit’ print that makes every girl’s heart skip a beat, 

the ‘Dalmatians’ print which rekindles warm memories from the past, and  the cool ‘Model Planes’ print. We can't wait to get them in.

Imagine a rabbit print shirt with a plain pink skirt - your little lady will love it!

We love that print.
