I know I talk a lot about the Summer but if you lived in London you would know why. We get so little sunshine over the year that when it does come, it’s reason enough to celebrate! With all this glorious weather we’re enjoying I remembered a brand of clothes that seems to capture the very essence of Summer. Their clothes and pictures make me dream of long, sunny days spent playing outdoors, getting wet in water fountains, picking flowers, enjoying ice-creams – you know the kind of simple, timeless pleasures that only Summer allows. Soor Ploom Clothier shines in it’s simplicity. The clothes have a vintage touch which adds to their charm and are all made of my favourite Summer fabrics – soft cottons and linens. These are the kind of timeless Summer clothes that allow kids to be kids and I am truly in love!

A timeless Summer collection…

Effortlessly simple & stylish linen dresses
March 24, 2014
I wanted to start the week by sharing this effortlessly simple and stylish collection of linen dresses. Linen is such a beautiful fabric both in look and feel and so perfect for Summer. These dresses by Le Vestiaire de Jeane are easy to wear, loose fitting for comfort and great for dressing up or down. The collection also includes similar dresses for women and I can’t help but think they would be so cool and comfy to wear during a Summer pregnancy and beyond.
Beautiful Summer linens

Spring Summer 2014 from Made by Muku is here and it’s just beautiful. Cosy linen clothes in simple shapes and muted tones that are so comfy and practical for kids too. My favourite is that cross-backed play suit but really, I love all the pieces. It’s impossible not to.
Simplicity…

I’m loving these simple, ethereal, soft silhouettes by Muku who I just discovered. The muted colours, the loose shapes and that wonderful raw linen all come together so beautifully. The clothes look so comfy that I can imagine them becoming firm favourites… you know, the kind of clothes that you wear and wear till they are threadbare. Luckily Latvian based Muku also make similar clothes for mama’s so we can indulge too. Simplicity always works for me and these clothes are so simple and wearable that they’re making me want Summer to stay forever.
So sweet & so chic…

‘Chic for kids’ is how this Italian brand describe themselves and boy is it true! Simple linen clothes and accessories embellished with adorable little details is what you’ll find at Minimu. That fish bib and those dusty pink bloomers – how incredibly sweet are they? I only wish I had a little baby to put them on…
While the Minimu Spring Summer 2013 baby range is to die for, the girls range is no less impressive. The dresses and tops on offer are so pretty and so stylish without being fussy or cutesy. They have just the right amount of subtle detail to make them stand out from the crowd. I’ve got my eye on that yellow polka dot dress which just shouts summer to me. Minimu is very much becoming a firm favourite here… how can anybody resist such sweet chic-ness (is that even a word?!).
Feeling green…
May 17, 2013
Yesterday my daughter had a play date with another little girl and they got hooked on the colour green. The two girls kept saying ‘green’ louder and louder and then bursting in to fits of laughter. They then started adding an extra word and coming up with things like ‘green toast’, ‘green dog’… the idea being to pair it with something that most definitely isn’t green. This produced more laughter and eventually the inevitable bathroom humour ensued followed by the loudest giggles ever! I don’t know how 4 year old minds work but I do know this little game tickled them pink! While I didn’t take part in the game, it did get me thinking of the colour green and I realised I’d never done a green post. I always think that green isn’t a colour I’m naturally drawn to but then again there are so many shades of it that there really is a green for everyone (my personal favourite is mint green) and so I thought it would be fun to look for a few things in different shades of green and here’s what I found:
1. green linen sunsuit by wolfechild… 2. minty green toddler duvet set by garbo & friends… 3. forest green firs pillowcase by fine little day… 4. shades of green bird poster by silke bonde… 5. ice-cream green playhouse by lucky boy sunday… 6. dark green book called Grandpa Green by Lane Smith.
Happy weekend all and see you next week!
Classy, cute & comfortable…
August 8, 2012
If you’re anything like me, dressing your kids in (mini) high style is important but so is comfort. However beautiful a piece of clothing may be, if it’s impractical it just won’t cut it. Clothes that deliver big on both comfort and style always get my vote and Mabo Kids do just that. Designed and made in USA, Mabo is a small clothier whose collections are made in small quantities. Each and every piece is not only gorgeous but infinitely wearable and that’s not something that can be said about too many collections out there.
There’s so much I love about these clothes. All made of cotton or linen, the colours are so elegant and stylish. The linen pieces come in the most gorgeous dusty rose and a slightly faded indigo blue. The petal linen skirt is one of my favourite pieces… it’s so cute and girly with the gentle scalloped edge and subtle tie detail. The simple linen boat neck dress is another winner and can easily be dressed up or down. And then there are the ever so sweet gingham pieces to drool over too. Mabo Kids don’t have a big collection but what they do have is pure class, style and comfort.
