While I’m normally a black & white kind’a girl, I do like a bit of sunny yellow especially in Summer. Yellow is a colour that makes you feel happy the moment you see it (think Pharell Williams). So here are a few yellow things for mama and baby that I’m currently loving for the Summer months ahead:
1. pleated cotton kids dress | 2. straw storage baskets | 3. crystal bead necklace | 4. girls daffodil headband | 5. straw tote bag | 6. giraffe lambswool soft toy
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.
This week’s picks for mama & baby… let mama wear this pretty lemon yellow necklace with wooden beads while baby plays with that yellow nosed crochet elephant rattle.
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.
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 have a very soft spot for girly accessories as long as they’re free from over embellished frilly-ness. So naturally when I saw the oh so pretty creations by Namhee I was hooked. For any girl with a girly side, these are irresistible. Hairbands, bracelets, necklaces, hairpins and brooches all draped in the most gorgeous liberty-esque fabrics and many adorned with a sweet little birdie is what Namhee offer for the girls. The little bird brooches are just so lovely and I can see them adding bags of style to cardi’s, coats, dresses and tee’s. All these wonderful accessories are hand sewn and hand finished and come in a range of colours from bold fuchsias to aqua blues and forest greens. Many have flower prints but there are checks and polka dots too. Today I’ve lusted after Namhee’s hair accessories and jewellery for girls but there are other offerings that are equally delectable… more on that another day. For now, to get these beauties for your little girl head to Atsuyo et Akiko (which is a whole other post!). The Namhee accessories cost from $16 and Atsuyo et Akiko ship internationally on request.
