Some years ago while holidaying in Marrakesh, I went to a fun restaurant for dinner with my husband. I don’t remember too much about the food or decor as it wasn’t that memorable but I will never forget that woman who walked in. Tall, lean and statuesque with chocolate coloured skin, wearing a very large brimmed hat and a dramatic outfit. There was a moment of silence as all heads turned to look at her. She wasn’t the most beautiful woman I’ve seen, nor the prettiest but she was definitely unique and the entire package from head to toe was jaw droppingly striking so you couldn’t help but stare (think Grace Jones). And that is how I felt when I first saw this new collection of nursery bedding by Anatology on Peggy’s inspiring blog. Bold, graphic and head turning-ly striking, there’s no holding back here and that’s why this collection really stands out like that statuesque stunner!Anatology is the creation of Delphine Miquel, a French mama and designer who has obviously got a unique aesthetic sense. All her creations are made in France from soft, natural materials that are perfect for a baby’s skin. Of course this collection has bags of style, of course it has loads of visual appeal but what I love most is that there are no half measures here. This collection was designed to make heads turn and it does without apology. This is Delphine’s first collection called ‘Graphic Jungle’ and and I just can’t wait to see what comes next. If this is the benchmark for all her collections then all I can say is wow!

Florals, solids & stripes…
May 28, 2013
Liberty prints are so pretty and I love them even more when they’re paired with solid and stripes. So when I saw this collection of kids bed linen and accessories I was excited to share them with you. From France, Lab. makes lots or pretty things for babies and kids which include duvet sets, sleeping bags, cushions and more. There are plenty of liberty prints on offer and then there are the solid and stripes which complement them perfectly. I’m especially loving those sweet teddy bear pillows and these single striped linen quilts.
Lab. don’t just make things for kids; they’ve got a lovely adult size collection too. Most of their designs are suitable for any age so you’ve got gorgeous cushions, duvets and quilts in similar prints and colours for grown-ups as well. My favourite liberty print is the pastel one pictured at the top… so delicate and so pretty for any little baby. And I love the turquoise and brown combination for any age.

Sleeping in style
August 17, 2010
Much as I hate to admit it, autumn’s in the air. Where did the summer go? On a positive, I’ve found some super snuggly and stylish sleeping bags to look forward to.
Aden and Anais create soft and beautiful sleeping bags in muslin. There’s something very innocent and pure looking about them. Designed to be worn over pyjamas, they come in a single layer of muslin for warmer nights and 4 layers of muslin for the chilly, wintry nights. I had the pleasure of feeling these softies recently and they didn’t disappoint. The classic comes in 0.5 tog and costs £22 while the cozy 1.7 tog ones cost £29.50 with standard delivery from £2.50.
