I’ve been collecting a selection of stylish things, ideas and thoughts I’ve liked for a while and today I thought I would share some of them with you. Hope you like them too!
1. simple kids room styling… 2. chunky knits on kids… 3. bright pink and red together… 4. apostrophe magnets for your fridge… 5. always remember to love yourself… 6. a mini cloud for your daughters wrist.
Have a wonderful weekend!
I always start thinking more about accessories come Autumn. With the cooler weather you begin needing scarves and hats but more than that, accessories really lift an outfit and Autumn is a time when I need a lift. Even more than me, I love accessorising my daughter’s outfits often with just one unexpected piece like a pretty necklace or a statement brooch. I went looking for some accessories for her today and I loved these blue ones that I found. The pale and deep blues are lovely for this season and will work well with so many outfits. Here’s where you’ll find them:
1. Flower hair clips by Cos… 2. Louise Misha tulle necklace from Minikin… 3. Polka dot bonnet with ears by Les Zigouis… 4. Umbrella adorned scarf by Bobo Choses.
Yesterday I was feeling the love for these neon sandals and today I’m continuing with the neon obsession but this time for these pretty bracelets and necklaces for girls. Delicate, bright and unashamedly girly these jewels are by the French Louise Misha. I love the striking colours, the sweet tassels and even the cute little cloth bags they come in. Louise Misha is the creation of 2 friends who started their own line after being inspired by a trip to India. I completely get this since India is a place full of colour, inspiration and beautiful things (OK maybe I’m biased but its still true :)). Apart from girls jewellery, Louise Misha also make other accessories, some clothes and I’ve just spotted some pretty little bikini’s too. My sponsors French Blossom have a range of their goodies so if you have a girly girl (like me) then this is one brand not to miss!
You may remember these kids dress up fox masks I shared with you a while ago. The creator of those masks is Lucille Michieli and she has now created some wonderful new accessories for girls. I’m loving those (faux) wolf fur necklaces and the rabbit ear hairbands. What I love about Lucille is that all of her creations are so unique and just so cool! Her range is always small and consists of no more than a handful of things but it’s the creativity that goes in to each accessory that wows me every time. You can still get the fox masks and some are even on sale but today it’s the wolf fur necklace in pink that I’m hankering after.
Emerald green or ruby red… what would you choose? These are the gorgeous new accessories from the Spring Summer 2013 collection by April Showers. French and fabulous, April Showers always, always delights with each new season. Their accessories are feminine and pretty and would delight any little girl. Those sparkly socks would excite my daughter no end and the beaded necklaces with the tassel detail are just so chic, I want them for myself. There’s lots more to the collection including some black and white pieces for babies and some cool shoes and knee high socks for little girls. When I saw this collection at My Little Square, it was the rich, deep colours that first grabbed my attention but I just can’t say whether I like the ruby red or the emerald green more… I adore them both so much! Have you chosen your favourite?
Being Indian, I visit India often as I have loads of family there including my parents. For me, shopping and eating are always at the top of the agenda in India because I love doing both. As far as the shopping is concerned, I never really indulge in expensive stuff but instead it’s always about picking up unusual little trinkets and treasures for the home or to wear. The one thing I never leave India without is a load of bangles, bindi’s and necklaces for my daughter Anya. She absolutely loves her accessories and will often load up her arms with 20-30 bangles at a time! Last time we were there we picked up a gorgeous fabric necklace for her which has now become an absolute favourite of mine and Anya’s. India is a great place to buy colourful and unusual jewellery for kids but since I don’t live there I’m always looking for other avenues too. And my latest finds are these super sweet handmade necklaces, hair clips and hair ties by Homako.
Based in LA, Yoko hand makes all these gorgeous accessories with a definite Japanese vibe to them which isn’t surprising as Yoko is originally from Japan. I love the soft pastel colours which are perfectly complimented with dark stripes and little unexpected details like the pearls and baubles. The necklaces are strung on ribbons finished with little coloured felt dots that are such a pretty addition. Yoko makes jewellery for adults as well but a lot of the kids’ range is designed for mum and daughter to share. You can get these sweet necklaces and hair accessories at Homako but Yoko has also created an exclusive and beautiful range for the lovely online boutique Minikin which is also very worth checking out.
Accessories can really make an outfit. I recently bought a dress for my daughter which can only be described as a very plain A-line dress in burgundy. It’s the kind of dress that you would probably pass over on the rail, let alone buy. But it came with a detachable pearl studded collar that really made the dress. Since it’s removable, the collar can be used on any plain top or dress to bring it to life. I think I actually bought the dress just so I could have the collar. This dress just showed me again how the right accessories can completely change an outfit and even add a bit of drama or whimsy to any look. Now I just need to remember to accessorise myself more often! But that aside, I went looking for more accessories for little girls and these were my favourite finds. I love them all but that dramatic feathered hairband is just so cool. Here’s where you’ll find them:
1. Foam flower necklace… 2. Feather hairband… 3. Lace collar… 4. Dotted socks in cherry
April Showers by Polder is the perfect combination of Scandinavian style with French charm. Started by a pair of Dutch sisters who now live in Paris, this kids bedding, clothes and accessories collection is just divine. I love the muted colours with unexpected pops of neon, the subtle prints and the timeless designs. This is their current Autumn/Winter collection and I want everything in it especially those leggings! You can shop this collection at Smallable.comwhere there are quite a few items on sale too.
I think accessories on big girls and little girls look great but I don’t do nearly enough accessorising. I quite simply forget! I really want to change this habit and start adding that extra touch to every outfit for my daughter and me. I love the idea of going for muted coloured clothes and then adding hints of bold and bright colour through the accessories. I came across that neon and gold necklace today which I loved and that’s what reminded me of the need for accessories in my life! So I first went looking for some for my daughter and these are 4 that I loved:
1. Neon and gold necklace by Lieschen Mueller… 2. Hand-knitted hooded scarf by Ketiketa… 3. Ilva baby socks with stripe detail by April Showers… 4. Elephant hair ties by Melissa Abram.
I am truly besotted by this new collection of kids jewellery by Bloesem. Featuring pretty necklaces and bracelets in bold colours, each piece has a fun element making it perfect for little girls. Simple styles with subtle embellishments {like the apple} make this collection unique.
I’m loving the bright neon cords used in many of the necklaces especially the leather flower one and the one with the adorable mickey mouse pendant. The classic pearl makes an appearance too but it’s been given a playful and modern twist with the addition of things like a wooden mini squirrel or some tiny charms.
The jewellery is all handmade by the talented Irene Hoofs {a mama of 2} and comes in extremely limited quantities so if you want one I guess you’ll have to be quick! And mama’s if you’re tempted, I’m excited to tell you that there’s a ladies collection too including a couple of DIY kits. To browse these beautiful pieces visit Bloesem wears where you can see the entire collection.
