Butik Butik Copenhagen {a shop}

.
Remember that I wrote a post about our week end Copenhagen?
I mentioned a few shops we visited during our time in one of my favourite cities... well the fun people from Butik Butik found my post and sent me some really nice pictures of their shop which I have to share with you so you can see why this is a MUST STOP for everybody travelling to Copenhagen...

If you live there it might be a very dangerous place to go :)

bed and philosophy

I found this gorgeous bed linen line when I visited Serendipity in Paris.
I like to sleep in pure, simple high quality bed sheets and like the same for my kids.
Sleeping is important, it takes a good part of our day and I think it deserves to be surrounded by something tender... something beautiful...
And I can tell you bed and philosophy absolutely tick all the boxes on my "bed linen wish list".

The most lovely colours and details. A collection for mamas and papas as well as for babies and kids.

The website is in French only but you can send a mail to Sonia and/or visit Serendipity which has an e shop too.

Sweet dreams. xxx

it mylk {Paris}

There is a supercute and new little cafe in Saint Germain de Pres in Paris called it mylk.
Frozen yoghurt with your topping of choice... to give it a quick name.

Yogurt ice cream, fresh yogurt, milkshakes and small cakes... everything you get here is made from yoghurt. In form of ice or naturel, sweet or plain or chocolate flavour and with over 20 toppings to chose from: Strawberries, bananas, mini macarons, nuts, crumble, caramel...
Everything is made from fresh milk - delivered every morning from a farm just outside Paris.

Our kids love yoghurt and it is such a nice treat on a hot afternoon.

The place is really sweet as well, with lounge chairs, benches, big colourful pillows and the counter tiled in turquoise.

I am sure next time we go to Paris there will be already more branches because this is such a fresh and yummy place!

Address: 15 rue de l’ancienne comédie, 75006 Paris

Paris Hide and Seek {a book}

I bought Paris Hide and Seek during our trip to Paris. Already beforehand I said to my husband that I would love to find a nice book about Paris for KleinR, to keep the memories and to show her that there are things you can find in books that exist in reality too.
So I was very happy when I found this treasure from Masumi.

The book: Theo’s little dog Potchi is a terrible tease: He keeps running away and getting lost in Paris!
You will help Theo finding his mischievous little pet and it will take you all over the city, north, south, east, and west! Follow Theo from the Louvre Museum to the Gare Saint-Lazare with side trips to the Champs-Élysées and the Zoo at Jardin des Plantes.

The drawings are very sweet and we had a lot of fun finding Potchi, Theo and his yellow balloon.

Now where we are back from Paris it is a nice souvenir and my daughter looking at the book is like "oh, I was there", "and here too"... "Mama, look....".... I think it is a great way to keep Paris in your kids head or to get it before a trip and let your kids already discover some sights.

{on the last picture you see hubby and KleinR reading the book "en terrasse" a Paris}

... inspiring stands at {Playtime Paris}

.
This is the last post about Playtime, thank you letting me share all my impressions and favourites with you... I even skipped my Friday list and Monday collages... :)

Opililai



One of my favourite stands, I love this charocal colour and the big fabric letters.

The Bunny Eater



These girls are so funny in their aprons and I like the totes a lot.
However their main collection is PJ's - based on the adventures of a big monster. A walking tale on nightwear.

Colibri + Co


Great bags and toys, in happy and funky colours.

Coq en Pate


A wall of cool bags.
I actually got one of these backpacks (actually that one) for KleinA and he looks so darn cute wearing it.

Voleur des bisous


100% organic - these pillows (or doudou or toys) are so fun with their eye masks...

Pequeno Tocon


These supertiny and very soft baby slippers made my heart jump. Walking over the moon...

Adri


I liked the atmosphere at the Adri stand, a real pyjama feeling...

New kids brands to make you happy {Playtime}

.
There are some more brands that I discovered at Playtime and I love to share with you:

Anais+I


I know Anais+I from webshops however they are not very well known here in Europe... lets hope this will change because I think their collection is amazing!

MAKIE


Wonderful collection with a great colour scheme...

Monsieur Cucu




New to me brand and so lovin' it... the dots, the fabrics and how cool is that swimsuit!?
During my research I found an online shop selling Monsieur cucu and got this for my boy... How rad is this please? Can't wait for it to arrive...


Zorrro



Original and creative pieces with great attention to detail!
Same people who are behind Gold.

buho


Love! Love! Love! That outfit on the right would be perfect in my size and in my wardrobe too.
This collection is adorable and the quality is TOP.

Les Toiles Blanches


Supercute baby wear and lots of fun accessories. A must buy!

Wovenplay



We know Wovenplay but I wanted to show you what they did for boys for S/S 2012. I love these shorts!

Bobo Choses Spring/ Summer 2012 {Playtime favourites}

Images: Paul & Paula

Update: Bobo Choses asked me to remove most of the pictures because they deal with copycats in Korea!

Yep, they did it ALL right again. A very nice collection is waiting for our kids next S/S. Bananas, top hats, cars and bikes... lots of yellow (YAY!) ... just the Bobo Choses Style as we know it!

Bobo Choses is a real Summer brand for me, their A/W collections are still quite cool however I always prefer what they do for summer and it is not different this time around!

And they have some very cute kids room rugs in the collection too... eeeek...!

{this was the last post of my Playtime favourites, I could go on actually but I think enough is enough... tomorrow I will do some posts with brands and stands that I loved and still want to show you and voila... got you all crazy about next summer where we acyually wonder when summer for this year will actually start}

Franky grow S/S 2012 {Playtime favourites}

Images: Paul & Paula

Franky grow - a label I knew the same but not much more. But now I know that they do some serious cool kids fashion in hot colours... trendy trendy.

Combined with simple pieces this collection is simply magnifique.

{Later today I will give you some images from the Bobo Choses S/S 2012... stunning....that is all I can already tell you...}
