It is our passion and we love to share the best of this world. We adore small and independent brands. This is the perfect place to be up to date on the kids fashion world!
But cheesy has its moments and cheesy can be fun. And believe it or not, when I got my children a set of matching pyjamas last year they were all over the moon.
And their pyjamas are still going strong. It did take me a good while and some luck to find a design that works for both, girls and boys. Plus a design that I like and that had all necessary sizes available. Long story short – matching pyjamas do not have to be cheesy and if you do not wait until just before Christmas (because it is a Christmas thing) you can get lucky.
The good news is – I just stumbled upon a UK based brand run by a mama that makes some very cool pyjamas for the whole family*. Think minimalist design, very soft organic cotton, and gender neutral prints. Yay!
The collection includes a whole range of family pyjamas for baby, toddler, ladies, mens, maternity and some accessories. Everything is designed in London, using the best quality organic fabrics and inks, and all products are then made in Europe:
Halloween is not far away and how about a set of ghost jammies* for the family?
Allover I think these make fabulous gifts as well. Welcoming a new sibling, great gift for a new mum, or something for your best friend. So you can dream in the same outfits.
Why not getting to know your new bundle of joy in some cute mum pyjamas and matching baby romper?
And note: Becky can add additional baby, kids, or adult pyjamas to any set. So whatever the size of your family, you are catered for.
My children are so excited about Halloween this year that I may actually be a fan by October 31st too.
When we moved to London last we were still in our temporary apartment and did not have our boxes delivered yet. But we could sense that our (very family friendly) area is very into Halloween.
Therefore we promised that we will do the whole shebang this year. Decorating (no crazy stuff but still…), costumes, trick or treating, and maybe a party too. And talking to some parents who already live here for a while, Halloween is indeed a pretty big deal in our neighbourhood.
Yay!
That is why I put together a few cool things that will make any Halloween Party a whole lot better. Including Halloween costumes that you can actually wear afterwards too:
1. Organic cat t-shirt*, not only for Halloween!
2. Cute little wooden ghosts*. Hand made to decorate around the house…
3. Halloween Surprise Treat Balls* – an alternative spooky treat!
4. Coolest Halloween costume* with a real magic wand.
This morning it was 5C when we had to go out for the school run! F I V E!
Cold is an underestimated definition, because the first days of dropping temperatures are the worst. Until my body gets used to it I just feel a general freeze.
Therefore, I made a big cup of tea on my return and started to select the best (in my opinion) winter jackets for children. Because we all know the saying: There is no bad weather, only wrong clothing.
So I will help you to kit your children for the cold months again – practical, stylish, and warm. I made a selection for babies, kids, as well as teens. The best winter jackets for girls, boys, including lots of unisex choices. Because investing in a good winter jacket is essential and if you can pass it on to siblings, a unisex model is often the best choice.
The best winter jackets for the little ones:
Winter jackets for baby:
1. This waterproof jacket* in a beautiful camel colour is perfect for cold and rainy days.
2. This light down jacket* is a true must have. It can be folded into a small bag and is therefore easy to pack away. Shown in Raspberry red but also available in lovely blue tones. It comes with a hood and is waterproof.
3. Romantic Faux Fur Coat* with floral embroidery, patch pockets, and this incredibly soft material.
4. Cool down jacket* with a beautiful Leo lining.
5. Shooting star* down jacket that is warm and soft with its fur interior. Elasticated at the bottom and water repellent. (We have one of those jackets, from an earlier collection, at home and I can tell you, my kids love the cosy lining. It really makes a difference!)
Winter jackets for kids:
1. Faux fur leopard print* jacket with a classic collar and floral printed lining. You can never go wrong with this one!
2. L O V E!!! Checked Sherpa Coat* with Peter pan collar. So so cool!
3. Red is a great colour and I find colourful winter jackets super. Helps you a bit during the grey days and (!!!) really helps to spot your child on the school yard or playground. This lined down jacket* comes with a removable hood, lots of pockets and a cosy fleece lining.
4. Mega long down jacket* in green! High collar, zipper pockets, contrasting ribbing, and waterproof.
5. The colour of this reversible down jacket* is the best. It is plain navy (and you know I love navy too!) on the other side but this lilac/blue/shine – something colour is different. And I like it! It is pulled in at the bottom for more volume.
Winter jackets for teens:
1. Lined hooded parka* in navy blue with slash pockets.
3. Another big favourite: This Houndstooth Coat*. It goes with everything and will still be cool in 20 years.
4. A parka is always a good idea! And this faux fur lined hooded Parka* in timeless Khaki is one of them.
5. And this Faux Fur Lined Parka* in lovely Midnight blue, cool embroideries on back, and tightened cuffs will definitely keep your teen very warm this winter.
Good Morning and hello new week. I have some very cute handmade baby bonnets to share with you here today. And they are especially handy because Autumn is here. It is not just an ‘around the corner’ anymore, it is falling leaves, rain, wind, and very chilly mornings.
I am quite excited actually because last year we were in the middle of moving from Sweden to London and just did not enjoy much of this colourful season. On that note, can you imagine, it is nearly 12 months already since we landed in our new location?
Furthermore, Amber embroiders her bonnets* with beautiful designs in some lovely earthy colours. Very autumn, and very beautiful!
Have a look at the images and see the amazing quality and craftsmanship of these bonnets. These handmade pieces are special and so stunning:
A little autumn rainbow* and this leafy season will be even more fun.
This floral version* is stunning too. Combined with the raw linen and other natural fabrics, these adorable embroideries really pop out. One could wish they would be cool to wear once you are over 36 months…
Yes, some weeks need Friday to come a bit more quick than others. And this week definitely needed to go by quickly.
And since I love to compile these Friday lists as much as you love to read them – Friday comes with bells and whistles. 32 fantastic, fun, new, and awesome things for you and your family.
Christmas present sorted: The perfect dolls house* that comes with furniture and dolls (most don’t and you spend a fortune kitting it out!) AS WELL AS – light and a door bell. Yes, this miniature house is a dream.
Nudie Rudie! Will definitely make you smile every time you walk into your bathroom…
Christmas gift alert!!! Beautiful Family hoop art*. Your family captured in a unique, whimsical embroidery in an illustrative style. Such a lovely and personal gift. It would please everyone…
