Scotch Shrunk & Scotch R' Belle @ Cool Kids NYC

Say a big welcome to one of my new sponsors CoolKidsNYC. CoolKidsNYC is a multi-brand online boutique that specializes in unique and high-quality children’s clothing. They find inspiration in the dynamic style and colorful soul of New York City and its diverse neighborhoods.

CoolKidsNYC encourages you to experience the fashion sense of artsy SoHo, the urban Hip Hop of the South Bronx, the swagger of Harlem’s 125th Street, the exclusive glamour and flair of Madison and 5th Avenues, the punk-rock and skater styles of the Lower East Side and the bohemian feel of Brooklyn all under one domain.

Right now they are having a wonderful sale where you can take 60% OFF their winter selection with the code WINTER60. Some of my favorite labels they sell are Scotch & Soda's mini labels Scotch R' Belle (for girls) and Scotch Shrunk (for boys). The above garments are all available at CoolKidsNYC and most of them are in the big sale.

Moments | Grey Clouds

D wears: Denim jacket by Cotton On Kids / Top by Bonds / Pants by Munsterkids / Shoes by Feiyue.

These photos were taken during 15 long minutes of waiting.  Waiting for the rain to stop so we could go to the skate park. It stopped only to start 1 minute later and then some more waiting. Not much to do but to roll back and forth and wait for lighter clouds. No such luck that day though...

Brand Watch | 1+ in the family

I am loving the new Spanish label 1+ in the family. Even though I don't have any more babies around me I can see how I would have bought this label if I had. The range goes from 0-24 month and it has the most gorgeous muted colours and stripes, dots and most of all they seem to have plenty of room to be comfy in. Simple, sweet and absolutely perfect.

You can find all of these garments and more over at Loja Dada.

Moments | Neon Love

M wears:  Milly top by Ígló & Indí / Molly shorts by  Ígló & Indí. 

Some sunny moments after school at a loom band session. The loom bands have taken over these days and since December they have been quite big over here, having boys and girls making beautiful, neon bracelets and necklaces. You see little groups of kids sitting everywhere, at school, at swim school etc totally absorbed in creating new patterns and colour choices. M is quite into it as well and has finally saved up to a whole loom band kit (so hopefully Easter holiday craft session is fixed).

What better to set off the neon love than this outfit from Icelandic label Ígló & Indí! I love their nice graphics and comfy cut on the shorts. They have such a nice balance between cute and comfy and it looks so good on M. Since we got some very nice and warm days inbetween the colder Autumn days I hope she gets a good chance to really wear this outfit a lot.

Moments | Friday Chill

D wears: Hoodie by Finger in the Nose / Pants by Bobo Choses / Reversible beanie by munsterkids / Shoes by Native Shoes.

One day hot weather the other cold, Melbourne is serving up another week of indecisive weather, but we can't complain, it is never dull that's for sure, and some brave people are still windsurfing even though the temperature can jump from 30C to 12C in a day. Have a wonderful weekend and let's hear it for school holiday!! No more school lunches or early mornings for at least 2 weeks...Woop woop!

INTERIOR | ROOM RANGE from Cotton on Kids

THIS is good peeps! I have longed for a fair priced bedlinen range for kids (because lets face it, kids like to change the look of their room a lot and the bed makes up for such a big place in their room). Like so many other mums I have Oooh and Ahhh to so many of the nice looking bedlinen out there for kids but most of them are in the price range of 130$ and upwards and sometimes it just feels a bit hard on the wallet for a quick room update.

On April 7, Cotton on Kids will launch one of its most exciting categories yet- its first children's bedlinen and room range. The collection, in a burst of print and color, includes a range of stylish and fun sheet sets, reversible quilt covers, cushions, printed paper lanterns, removable chalk boards and other decorative home accessories. All styles are designed to be mixed and matched- inviting kids and parents to explore their creative side and transform any bedroom into a space to dream, play, sleep, invent and most importantly have fun.

The 100% cotton bed linen capsule is available in a range of designs suitable for single, double and queen size beds, ensuring there is something for toddlers to teens, and even the ‘big kids’ in the house who share the same passion for fun, bright fashion-driven prints.

The range launches online on April 7, and in selected Cotton On Kids stores in Australia and NZ from April 10.

Instagram Crush

There is endless of inspiration for outfits on shop owner Kinga of Fourmonnkeys instagram feed.  Focusing on high quality children's wear and toys from around the world it is easy to get lost with some serious window shopping when you visit her website. I love how she combines the different labels and outfits and it is definitely one big instagram crush of mine at the moment.
