The world of kids fashion met in Florence from 18.-20.1.2018 for Pitti Bimbo and what a show it was. FORTEZZA DA BASSO was busy and for those three days the true capital of children’s wear!
Many fabulous events including panels and discussions, three fashion shows and the big celebration of the 50 year anniversary of Monnalisa.

A great atmosphere with a positive vibe!

Piupiuchick

Clothes for kids to enjoy their enchanted childhood!

Piupiuchick was founded in 2012. Two sisters and their best friend wanted to create clothing that every mother and their children would go crazy for. Bohemian, romantic, fresh and playful.

The collections are creative, passionate and full of humour. Piupiuchick is located in Oporto, by the Atlantic Ocean, near the renowned Portuguese Textile Industry.

The new Spirng/ Summer collection is called ‘The Eighties’. Inspired by the youth of your parents. You can find beautiful colors dedicated to the fresh fruits of summer, and lots of linen and light cotton.

The collection is wonderful and has the perfect pieces to spend your summer in style and also with fun and easiness.

The theme “The Eighties” is, of course, a flashback to my own childhood. So good! Roller Skates, cassettes, skateboards, sporty styles and bleached denim.

And the best thing: Sizes go up to 14 years now!

Fantastic look book (shot by Joana Quintanilha) with the perfect feel!

PS: At the very end of the 80’s I was the same age as my eldest, Romy. I just calculated. Funny. We probably really need to look into that time and I need to show her how things ‘worked’ back then…

Colourful chalkboard walls

We all love to create a fun and interesting home for our families. Cosy, stylish and full of life. If we can add some creative aspects – perfect!

An easy option is the famous chalkboard wall. I showed you some inspiring spaces already and I still think that this one of the best solutions. And you know what, the whole chalkboard wall thing just got better. Like a million times better.
Why?

Because Farrow & Ball is now in the game too. On the top of the game actually because now you can get chalkboard paints in all colours of the rainbow. The Farrow & ball rainbow if you know what I mean. Because they do have the best colours. No question!

Done with the black and ready for some cool colours. Especially with Spring just ahead of us, this is so good!

For the occasion I found some more inspiring spaces for you:

Home in your home. Maybe your next DIY project? Here you can find some really great colours for this project. Love the blue tones…

via

White? Yes, why not. Surprising, fun and you keep the light in your house. There are lots of shades of white to choose from…

via

Green is another classic, but what about a lighter shade?

via

Or something more yellow? Farrow & Ball has a shade called India Yellow for example.

Via

Or something bright and happy like violet?

Farrow & Ball is an English brand known for a rich colour range. The chalkboard paints are available in matte and semi-matte. Each of these paint types is suitable for your walls or ceilings.

Yes, I am really excited about this. It also means that chalkboard walls do not necessarily have to look like a classroom and you can integrate them now in any corner of your beautiful home.

The biggest issue might be – which colour to choose?!

She Loves Her Mama

I have something from the boho side of fashion for you today. You know, whenever I have a little time (mostly whilst waiting for a plane at the moment) I am browsing the net. Pinterest or etsy – in the look out for new brands or small brands that I have not discovered yet. And that I would like to share with you!

Like this one called She Loves Her Mama. Started by Shandy, a mum of four girls.

She says that being crafty keeps her sane. I hear you Shandy. I think we all need a passion in our lives.

With a focus on sustainability and gender neutral designs this new line draws on a minimalist palette matched with edgy and playful graphics.

Inspired by the sweet relationship between child and animal, Huxbaby Friends is a collection of pieces with heart. Silky smooth organic cottons, chunky knitwear and delicate tulle lend a variety of texture to the range.
