Where to score the coolest kids fashion this week?

kids fashion

Good Morning and welcome into the new week. Here in London we start the 2nd week of isolation for Antoine. And probably the more challenging of the two. Fingers crossed that all children will stay in school until we break up for the holidays once he goes back.

Talking about the holidays! I know it is difficult to get in the mood with the current situation but since we also have a few birthdays to celebrate during the same period, I feel we need to cheer up, dress up, and celebrate. A lot!

Staying positive is still the number one priority. And staying healthy of course. That is why we will focus on cooking new recipes, chosen by all family members, do some lots of baking and prepare a nice table setting. I can confirm that it shifts the atmosphere and it is so easy.

And for the ‘special days’ we will also make an effort with our outfits! And no, I am not talking ultra glam, but something nice.

Now, if you appreciate the idea but the kids have outgrown their clothes or the wardrobe needs a little boost. Well, this may be your week, because there are some deals to be had. And one place that has a topnotch selection of kids wear is definitely Farfetch. And you will be able to access their Black Friday Kidswear Deals. Which brands and items will be in the sale is a surprise but very likely a very good one. So stay tuned!

However, to inspire you I selected the pieces that I would love to find in their sale. Fingers crossed!

1. Gorgeous velvet dress with ruffles!

2. I love to mix a sweet dress with sneakers to make the look more fun.

3. Limited Edition! Stripes! Love that sweater!

4. Festive outfit in cool? These sparkling culottes in green are perfect.

5. These dungarees are the cutest. I love the colourblocks.

6. Fun fleece tote, perfect for all the ‘mum stuff’ we carry around.

7. A classic by now – this long sleeve in the panther print.

8. The softest of puffer coats to keep your little one cosy and warm!

9. That blouse! I am sure we can all agree that a woman size would be a bestseller as well.

10. L’amour coat in a lovely autumn colour.

11. Docs made a big comeback some years again, and I totally love them on children too.

Green Autumn Vibes!

green autumn kids fashion

 

Whilst looking a bit through the new collections that dropped into stores over the last weeks I was very drawn to all the beautiful shades of green that I saw.

And I know that Autumn is so famous for its shades of yellow, orange, and brown… however we are still enjoying a bit of green on the trees and I had to share some favourites with you.

Further: Green is a great colour that works for both girls and boys and is super easy to mix and match with anything you already have in your wardrobe.

Let’s go with some great green autumn kids fashion:

1. Organic cotton jersey dress with beautiful clouds print.

2. Moon Wolf bodysuit.

3. Striped long sleeve that you wear with anything.

4. Very cosy hoodie with the cutest pockets…

5. Balloon sweater in fun orange with graphic print.

6. Wide leg velvet pants with floral embroidery on the elastic waistband.

7. Chino suspender trousers. Love them!

8. Skunk socks.

9. Arty Pony beanie for chilly mornings…

10. Low top trainers in T H E autumn 2020 colour.

11. Chunky alpaca cardigan.

17 cool things for your September!

PAUL PAULA BLOG

Hi there! How are you?

Just before we are heading straight into September I have some cool stuff ready for you. This time on a Monday so you get a good start into a new week as well.

Here in London we had some ‘fresh’ days and got a glimpse into Autumn (way too early if you ask me!) and then we have one more week of summer break and I am really wondering how it will be once the kids go back to school.

Are you ready? 17 cool things for a great new week and an even better month of September:

 

april-vase tse tse
If you want something special for your home, look no further than Tse & Tse.

100 years of baby fashion.

 

animal face masks kids
Want to swap the boring mask for something cute*? how about a koala or pug version?

Not vegan. Not tried. But if you are in for a very mean chocolate cookie, I think you should try this.

 

lion crochet animal head nursery
Fantastic lion head* for the nursery and kids room. Such a great decor item and beautifully made to order as well.

Whoa! Coolest backpacks* around for sure…

 

sunna studios lounge wear
If this lounge wear would come in my size I would totally wear it…

Until then, I will find something pretty in this shop*.

 

origami back linen dress women
That dress* had me at ‘Hello!’. I mean… that back…

Humans of New York. Always good!

Cute playmat*.

If your kids’ school stays closed or you decided to homeschhool for the time being, have a look at this kids workspace inspiration.

26 sizzling things for your August!

paul paula blog

I have been a bad blogger over the last months but I guess you all know why. To make it up a tiny bit I managed to gather a Friday List so we can all start August in style.

And wherever you are, whatever you do… I really hope that you are OK and that things are more calm and manageable.

We are staying in this cute little cottage in Kent at the moment. And I can tell you, it is sooooo nice to be out of the city and see something else for a bit. I will share more about our stay and cottage very soon!

Here are your 26 sizzling things for a sunny month of August:

 

macrame weaving loom diy kit
Great range of DIY Knitting, Crochet, Weaving and Macrame kits*.

If you are looking for something special for your home.

 

sozo diy kits
More DIY: From funky cushion cases to embroidered wall art, let your creativity take hold with these kits from Sozo DIY*.

Great interview with Simone Biles in Vogue. To add you should also watch the Netflix Documentary about the US Gymnastics Team system.

 

natural body soap
French inspired natural skincare. Which looks very glam and chic too. Just like the French… (And they make great gifts!)

Also DIY, but outdoors: Eco-friendly container gardening kits*!

 

yellow maxi dress cotton
For me please! Fantastic yellow maxi dress* that will always put a smile on your face whilst wearing it. (you should check this shop out in general by the way…)

On my recipe list: Raw Nutella Bars.

 

hand embroidery pattern
I am on a roll today, more DIY kits: These hand embroidery hoop patterns* are so gorgeous!

This print just screams summer.

 

A+Colorful+Bohemian+home
What a house!

One of my favourite decor brands.

 

white peach summer drink
Adult drink with white peaches. I actually got a blender to crush ice (Ours broke just before our last move) recently and collect yummy summer drink recipes…

Remember:  Colouring Pages to print out during rainy days!

 

child bonnet
Handmade baby and child bonnets*.

I made a very simple and yet delicious focaccia a few weeks back. Nothing compared to the very arty ones going through the net…

 

le-toy-van-pull-along-wagon-cart
An old-fashioned favourite for little ones to easily transport their toy collections from room to room with this pull-along wagon cart*.

Hmmmmm…. roasted berry sorbet!

 

Toy Beauty_makeup-bag-pretend-play
My youngest is really into makeup and hair. She basically begs me to put on lipstick (my already very minimalist approach to make up is literally nonexistent since Corona started) and to do my hair. It is her birthday in September and I think that I will get this Toy Make Up Bag*. No need to worry about make up on furniture or skin problems…

Another adult drink, with grapefruit. Something I re-discovered over the last weeks as well.

 

mini me clothing design
Very cool and minimal clothes for the whole family – dada, mama & mini!

Something pretty for us mums!

 

woven throw blanket etsy
Time to get yourself a great gift that will make the extra time we spend in our homes even more worthwhile. In love with these throw blankets*….

More for the home: These rugs* are amazing, affordable and super fun!

Just wanted to give this to you!

Last one: If you are looking for a very special dress* for your child. Look no further!

 

Have a great month of August everyone. Stay Safe! Stay Healthy!

Summer Sale at Loja Dada – the best pieces!

loja dada
The last weeks (months even) have been difficult for all of us. However running a small business through this crisis is an especially task force.

A good friend of mine and owner of children’s boutique Loja Dada who has all the most wanted brands in her shop just started her summer sale. Therefore I did a little selection of the best pieces you can now grab for a great price.
Helping you to add some gorgeous summer pieces to your child’s wardrobe and helping a small business to survive.

Bobo Choses is a no brainer but if you ask me you should go for the jumpers and t-shirts. The summer ones are always fun and great value.

Tiny Cottons has a great colour palette this season and lots of great stripes.

Play Up has lots of gorgeous baby things, but not only. I spotted some cool pieces for mums as well.

Newcomer The Campamento makes me happy with some lovely dresses and sunny prints.

Happy Shopping!

 

Oh, if you happen to be in Lisbon, their showroom is open with all rules and restrictions in place:
Located near Rato, in the Principe Real Neighbourhood
Rua Nova de São Mamede,58A
1250-173 Lisbon
PORTUGAL
