Bobo Choses is a super cool kiddy clothes brand from sunny Spain and I’m a huge fan. I’ve brought you their collections before and I’ve since discovered their home collection where they’ve got some funky rugs and chairs on offer. I’m especially loving the rugs, many of which are playground themed and then there’s also the lovely camping themed one. The little childlike illustrations of the swings, slides and see-saws are just adorable as are the colour combo’s especially the burnt orange colour which features on many of the rugs. These tapestry rugs are hand made in India and Peru and would look cool not just as rugs but also as wall hangings in a kids space. Bobo Choses have now got an online store so head there to check out their home wares as well as their trendy clothes.

Cool tapestry rugs for a kiddy space

Now I know my ABC’s…
February 8, 2012
I love my ABC’s especially since they lend themselves to some amazing designs. I don’t know many kids who don’t have some sort of alphabet adorned thing… be it wooden blocks, ABC cushions or even an alphabet duvet cover. One of my favourite ABC adorned things is alphabet posters or prints and today I’ve discovered a new one which I wanted to share. This is by a fabulously creative Swedish boutique called Fine Little Day started by a mama called Elisabeth Dunker. Her aim is to make art and design a part of your everyday life and her store is full of goodies to help you do just that including this simple but stylish ABC poster. I love the colours, I love the way some of the alphabets are turned in to cute objects and I even love the printing style. Nothing fussy, just clean, fun ABC style! Head to Fine Little Day to see this alphabet poster and to check out more of Elisabeth’s goodies.
Super fun birthday cards for kids
February 7, 2012
I’m a bit of a stationery fiend. I love buying the stuff and stashing it away for use one day. Be it cool notebooks, pretty gift tags, quirky cards or gorgeous wrapping paper, I can’t resist. And one of my favourite stores for the most unusual and most beautiful paper goodies is the Sydney based online store called Upon a Fold. Today I’ve rounded up 6 of their cards and gift tags that are all super pretty, super fun or super cool in some way. I’m just loving the gorgeous flower gift tags as well the the white dove card. The chocolate lolly and the lollipop cards look good enough to eat while the clown card is colourful and fun! Last is the beautiful elephant card where I’m loving the white with the hint of red. Justine, the owner, seriously has an eye for the most fabulous paper goodies so head to Upon a Fold and have a browse. Worldwide shipping is offered.
If you’d like to see another of my favourites from Justine’s store, check out this super simple but elegant bird mobile from Japan.
Update July 2014: Sadly Upon a Fold shop is no more.
Nursery style: Cool blue for girls
February 3, 2012
Blue for boy… not this time! This is a cool blue nursery for a girl. If you’re a regular around here you’ll know that I’m not a blue for boy and pink for girl type of mama. So when I saw this nursery I loved it because it shows how blue can work so well for a girl too. And besides the colour, I love the way the nursery has been put together. It’s a mixture of styles with modern stuff as well as vintage, with retro and contemporary vibes making it a very unique and individual space. I’ve also spotted decor stuff from many of my favourite kids brands like Lale, Ferm Living, Lucky boy Sunday and more. The creator of this space has mixed different shades of blue from very pale to deep and then added splashes of other colours which all come together so well. To find our more about all the goodies in this room, head to Style Cookie where I found this room.

Kiddy clothes with a splash of sunshine!
February 1, 2012
Winter is truly here and I’m missing the sunshine. I’m in need of a big warm hug from the sun so while I wait I thought I would bring you some kids clothes that have been injected with a little bit of sunny yellow. I’m a huge fan of lots of yellow for nursery decor and for kiddy clothes but a splash of yellow with other colours works so well too. Here are my top picks:
1. The ever cool Bobo Choses brings us this ice-lolly vest for boy or girl. You can get this at Orefeo Design.
2. A pretty little crochet swing cardigan for baby girls from Les Jardins de Vie. The lace details are just so girly and lovely.
3. This sweet jumpsuit is from the fabulously stylish and fabulously French Bonpoint boutique and it’s for babies up to 2 years old.
4. Adorable and bright, these little baby alpaca wool booties with suede soles are by Waddler and are hand made in Bolivia.
5. Very unusual and very quirky with a vintage vibe is this postcard print dress by Dominique Ver Eecke from a boutique called Zoen.
6. I’m loving the sunny yellow with the bold blue on these gorgeous little booties from Heart Felt 4 Kids. The sunflower motif and floral lining makes them even more special.
7. A flirty skirt in the most delicious berry and mustard colour combination – is there an adult version, please?!. It’s by super trendy Miller London and it’s available from Elias & Grace.
8. Angulus shoes have long been a favourite of mine and these pale yellow ones would be the perfect compliment to many an outfit on a dull winters day. They’re from Sparkle & Spin.
9. Ouef NYC do create goodies that are hugely desirable as is this adorable 100% alpaca wool charcoal dress with cute heart shaped pockets in mustard. Another lovely colour combo.
