Cute doesn’t even begin to describe these adorable knitted wellie booties for babies – I’m dying of cute overload here! These baby booties are a tribute to the cool Aigle wellington boots for kids. We are big fans of Aigle boots here and Anya even has a pair. The design of using bold colours with simple stripes is classy and stylish. And then this – a mini hand-knitted version for babies. Too cute. These baby booties would make such a fun and unusual gift for a new mum and would keep those little toes nice and toasty in the coming Winter months. I’m totally in love with the yellow ones for baby boy or girl.
Last month while I was in India I went to see my cousin’s baby who is just 6 months old. She was absolutely adorable with her huge eyes and cheeky little grin. While I was there she was taken in for a bath and came out wearing a simple striped bodysuit looking all fresh and smelling of that wonderful ‘just bathed baby smell’. I don’t often get broody but that special baby smell did it to me! I realised that it’s been a while since I’ve featured something purely for the tiniest little ones and so I went looking and couldn’t resist these delicious onesies and booties. Simple stripes and polka dots in the freshest colours make for lovely Spring essentials. They’re made by Nature Baby exclusively for J. Crew and are made of organic cotton and 100% chemical free materials so are perfect for a babies delicate skin. If only I had seen these before I think I would have been unable to resist the the bright yellow polka dot booties and matching onesie.
Whenever I used to hear someone mention Sweden or when I saw something Swedish I’d always think of one of my closest and oldest friends who is half Swedish. Sadly we now live continents apart but luckily it’s one of those friendships where this doesn’t matter at all. Now when I hear the word Sweden, I fleetingly think of my friend and then my mind just gets flooded with thoughts of wonderful Swedish design! The Swedes, and the other Scandinavians too have a design sense that is second to none and I’m very drawn to their aesthetic. So when I discover a new Swedish shop I get very excited as I know it’s going to be good even before I check out what they sell. And that’s exactly what happened with Le Kiosk.
Le Kiosk is a new Swedish store which sells goodies that are sourced from all over the world but each piece has the Scandinavian touch of being simple, light and bright in style. In their kids section you’ll find fun crafty things like the {make your own} house box and the pretty washi tape covered pencils… {forget the kids, I’d love some of these for myself!} There are also the cutest kimono baby slippers on offer and some cool mini woollen blankets plus loads of unusual posters and prints. What I love most about Le Kiosk is that a lot of their carefully selected offerings are handmade and as a result very unusual.
A few weeks ago I wrote about some pretty pink things because my daughter informed me that pink was the best colour in the world. She then told me purple was a close second and so I felt inspired to share some lovely lilac things with you. Now she has informed me that yellow is the third best colour so today I have my sunny yellow finds for you. I hadn’t planned for this to become a little series but you’ve told me you enjoy it and I love putting it together so why not:
Yesterday was holi, the Indian festival of colour where you get together with friends and family and everybody smears each other with colour. And of course there’s lots of eating and drinking and making merry! Being Indian, I couldn’t stop thinking about the great times I’ve had in the past as holi really is one of the most fun festivals for adults but even more for kids. So I thought about doing a ‘colourful holi’ inspired post and with that in mind, I’ve picked out 4 super colourful kiddy things that I’ve liked this week and hopefully you will too:
1. I love these tiny little birds that can be made in to so many things like a nursery garland, a brooch, nursery decorations and much more. These pretty birdies are from a shop called Moloco.
2. Shiny, bright fruit and vegetable wooden spinning tops by Londji. Sometimes it’s the traditional toys that are the most fun especially if they look as good as these.
3. These felt baby shoes are just adorable. I love their simple shape and the gorgeous colours. These booties are one to make yourself and you’ll find the instructions over at Purlbee.
4. I’ve been eyeing this colourful tassel garland for ages now. I can just picture a bright white nursery adorned with this large stylish garland to add a splash of colour. You’ll find this at Confetti System.
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.
