Hot spot: A baby bubble in delectable tomato red

April 4, 2011

What a stunner this baby bubble outfit is! With it’s vintage inspired looks and luscious tomato red colour, it’s a guaranteed stand out from the crowd piece. Made by Clover NY, a company which was born after an inspirational trip to India. They’ve got lots of lovelies on offer, but for me this Francis bubble playsuit has got to be the loveliest. The simple white stitching detail and the white buttons against the brightest of reds is uber smart. Put your bambino in it and you’ll be sure to get admiring glances galore. You can get your hands on this delectable number at Sweet William, a US store that ships abroad. The Clover NY Francis bubble playsuit costs $44 with shipping at $14.

Ooh… the colours, the bold fabrics, the little characters all together are making my excitement levels shoot through the roof! I love discovering a super creative mama and that’s just what today is about. KLT: works is the label of Kristin Loffer Theiss, an American mama of one. She makes the yummiest looking soft toys, mobiles, cushions and more. And her formula for creating such beauties: everything’s made by hand with lots of heart and bags of passion. A winning formula if you ask me! Back to these little soft toys, each character comes with a little expression (have you seen the wise owl?) and gigantic eyes in colours so hot, I could cry! The soft toys cost between $25 and $40 and shipping is $15 (to the UK but of course cheaper to the US). Check out Kristin’s creations at KLT: works and prepare to be wowed.

Darling Clementine: Notebooks so delectable!

March 31, 2011

I’m a bit of a sucker for delectable stationary. It’s kind of like a more-ish snack… the more you have the more you want. I buy it and end up hoarding cos it’s almost too good to use. Sound familiar? If it does then I’ve found you some uber-cute notebooks to add to your stationary stash. Darling Clementine is a small Norwegian design agency that’s big (huge even) on talent. They create some amazingly cool and colourful graphics which then adorn their stationary and homewares. Amongst their lovelies are these notebooks. Droolworthy, don’t you think? I’m seriously tempted… one for me to add to my stash (!) and one for the bambino to scribble on when her patience is waning (given the frequency she might need 2). You can get them for £4.50 a piece plus delivery from Nineteen Seventy Three, a stationary shop with lots of goodies.

Pick the colour that works for you and hang them over your little girls play space, sleep space or any space to add a bit of wow.

Animal mugs by Hana Blomst. Sweet!

March 29, 2011

Hana Blomst. A brand that brings together two cultures to create fabby kids plates, mugs and bowls. The delicateness and poetry of Japanese culture is married with hot Danish design and colour to create super wantable stuff to eat and drink from. I’ve just spotted the latest collection and I had to share. The bright coloured mugs with the simple animal graphics are oh so sweet. Then you’ve got the matching plates in white with just a splash of colour to bring them to life. And on the practical side, the mugs have lids to prevent little hands from spilling their drinks. The Hanna Blomst mugs and plates cost €14 each and you can get them at Smallable’s online store. The bad news: they’re not available till May (boo hoo!).

P.S. Check out our little baby auction site with bargains galore.

K Studio: Quirky style for kids and mama’s too

March 23, 2011

Yesterday I stumbled across K Studio and it was love. Michigan based mother and daughter create the most stylish pillows, bags and wall art. Simplicity and minimalism are mixed with bags of charm to create quirky and cool designs. In terms of colours, off whites and sandy beige’s dominate with fine black childlike drawings and the odd hint of orange, red and pale blue. And their stuff isn’t just for the kids. I can see their creations feeling perfectly at home in a kiddy space or an adult space. Have a look and don’t miss the chap who wears his heart on his sleeve or the pretty bird pillow. There’s also that cat pouch which would make a sweet pencil case. I could go on but I’ll let you discover more at K Studio. They deliver internationally and prices start from around $30 plus shipping from $10. This mother and daughter are a class act, if you ask me.

Retro chic suitcases I seriously want!

March 18, 2011

How super cute are these retro suitcases? They’re gorgeous and I’m thinking no little girl (or big girl even) should be without. Use it as storage indoors or better yet take it out filled with whatever stuff you can’t leave home without. Made by the French Lale, there’s a range of deliciously chic retro prints on offer. I can’t even begin to choose a favourite, so I’m not going to try. They come in 2 sizes, small for the smalls in your life and big for the mama’s. The mini ones measure 21x16cms and the maxi ones measure 39x29cms. What a stylish hospital bag the big one would make for an expectant mama or even a very covetable retro diaper bag. My hospital bag time has long passed but I’m seriously tempted for ebabee no.1. You can get a selection from elias & grace for £40 for the small one and £60 for the big or try smallable.com who deliver internationally.
