"Spanish kids fashion"

A little while I ago I shared this amazing coat from Pepito by Chus which so many of you told me you loved as much as I did.  Today I wanted to share their new Spring Summer collection which is fresh and beautiful.  I love how all the pieces are simple and mostly in solid colours but then embellished with a bow, a ruffle or an unusual collar.  The cuts are classic and so, so chic.  The whole collection is feminine without being fussy.  These are the kind of girly clothes that every little girl needs – the kind that look so comfy yet so chic and pretty.

"chic clothes for girls"

I’m always drawn to the girls stuff because I have a girl but the boys range is no less beautiful.  Crisp white collarless shirts and cute shorts again with unexpected details like those pink elbow patches on the white shirt – I love that!  There’s actually a range of elbow patches you can choose from but the pink are my favourite.

Pepito by Chus is a fairly new Spanish label started by a mama of three.  I am a huge fan already and can’t wait to see what she creates for her next collection.

"happy easter holidays"

Next week we leave for India and Nepal so I’m busy thinking about everything I have to take with me especially since we have a wedding to attend.  The one thing I know we can’t leave home without is that bunny or else there will be trouble!  Despite having loads to do before we go, I am really excited as this trip is going to be a family reunion after a long time.  As a family we are spread out across the globe so I’m really looking forward to us all being in the same place at the same time, bunny included!  The India part of the trip is going to be all about eating, meeting friends and spending lots of evenings talking, laughing and shouting (Indians tend to get over-excited and loud!).

And to top it all off we are heading to Kathmandu, Nepal together to attend a close family wedding.  I’m looking forward to the dressing up, the music, the fun and all the joy that a wedding has to offer.  But I also can’t wait to explore Kathmandu as I’ve never been before.  I love visiting a new part of the world and taking in all the sights, sounds and smells it has to offer.  If any of you have been I’d love to hear about your experiences and places to see and especially where to eat.  So please tell all…

Wishing you all a fun-filled Easter break and happy travels if you’re going away.

P.S.  The angry face is because I taped the bunny to the wall and apparently he doesn’t like it.

"reading corners for kids"

Now that Anya is learning to read, I am thinking about ways to encourage this.  One of the things I want to do soon is create a cosy little reading corner in her room.  A reading corner will probably encourage most kids to read a bit more if it’s a snug little space and if their books are easily accessible.  It doesn’t have to be very big, in fact I think the smaller and cosier, the better.

There are loads of different ways of doing this but one of my favourites is creating a little hideout with a teepee or a tent. The teepee could even be placed in a corner of another room like the living room.  Another easy idea is a simple mattress or some floor cushions placed in one corner of the room surrounded by bookshelves or even book-filled wooden crates on the floor.  I also like the idea of having a statement lamp to add a bit of fun to the space like that adorable miffy lamp.  There are lots of ways to make a reading corner really special and inviting.  The above are four spaces I really liked and found inspiring so hopefully they will inspire you too.

"kids on the moon SS14"

Are you a little wild at heart?  Do you like something a bit out of the ordinary?  Then this ‘Moonsafari’ collection is for you.   You’ll find camouflage prints, warrior stripes, wing like ruffles and bubble skirts in colours that reflect the wilder side of nature.   Kids on the Moons latest Spring Summer 2014 collection is so striking.  I love how they’ve got a real sense of wildness and adventure in the collection but it doesn’t take over the clothes.

"polish childrens clothing"

Dressing up and pretending is one of the great joys of childhood.  In our home this is an everyday thing and I am all for it.  This collection re-inforces that spirit of adventure and fantasy that all kids have.  Some of my favourites include those cool grey bubble shorts and that vest with the camouflage ruffles that is girly with a hint of edginess. 

"striped summer dress girls"

This new Spring Summer collection by Kids on the Moon is special – it’s different without being over the top.  And most importantly it’s very comfy for kids to wear and children can be children in these clothes.  What’s not to love?

Giant colouring fun

April 1, 2014

"giant colouring poster""indoor holiday activities for kids""giant colouring posters kids"

Whenever there are holidays coming up, I try and stock up on a few ‘at home’ activities for Anya specially for those days where I am either too busy to play much or we can’t go out for whatever reason.  Luckily this Easter we are going away so I haven’t needed to plan but if you’re staying home and looking for some indoor entertainment, these new giant colouring posters from Omy could be just the thing.   When they say giant they really do mean giant as the posters are 1.8 metres long!  That means a lot of colouring.  The posters can be put up on a wall or simply laid out on the floor and the colouring can begin.  There are Paris, London and New York city posters as well as a world map poster and you can find a selection at Petit Home.   If you feel like it, you can join in the colouring fun too.  I know I would have to have a go.
