Brand Watch | Quinn + Fox

Californian label Quinn and Fox is coming out with a new collection entitled Protect My Youth. The new label was born in 2013 by a husband and wife duo with two curly girls by their side. They utilize organic materials in all their designs and make sure they create some unique bold prints by collaborating with interesting artists each season. I love the earthy tones and colour choices in their collection and especially in the photos above.

Right now you can pre-order some of these tees over at A Little Bit of Cheek, but be quick since the stock is limited and the label has gotten very popular it might be gone in a hurry.

Moments | After the Rain

D wears: Knitted top by Katvig / Pants by Katvig / Shoes by 10IS / Sunglasses by Fred Bare. M wears: Cardigan by NEXT / Dress by NEXT / Shoes by Molo / Stockings by Bonds.

... Comes the sun! Finally! After a week of rain our weekend have been a sunny one, with a lot of oppurtunities to go out and just enjoy the warm rays of the sun again. It was good to let the kids just run on the thick, green grass (who obviously had enjoyed the rain immensely after a dry summer) and climb some trees. Plenty of fresh air and a chance for some lunch and coffee by the lake.

We also had time to visit a great playground close to Albert Lake and build some sandcastles in the fresh supplied sand in the sandpit. Sometimes the sun is worth waiting for!

New In | Slippers & Snakes

A parcel with slippers and snakes arrived the other day from Minibots. The snake print from Mini Rodini's drop 3 was my favorite and since my boy have always had a lot of use of their leggings these green python leggings were a  simple choice! For the last 3 years we have always stocked up on the best slippers around from Collégien. The super flexible sock slippers have been so good on my kids feet and since they have a proper sole underneath, they are also OK to do some short outdoor visits in.

They recently did a collaboration with Israel clothing label NUNUNU and the famous stars, skulls and letters are now available on the lovely Collégien slippers. My girl picked the star slippers and they will be perfect for those cold winter morning floors.

Moments | A Week Of Rain

M wears: Sweat by Nico Nico / Pants by Missie Munster / Beanie by Sportsgirl / Gumboots by Gardner & the Gang. D wears: Hoodie by Geggamoja / Pants by Rockefella / Gumboots by Gardner & the Gang.

The headline pretty much sums up the week. We had one warm and rather sunny day on Monday and the rest has been a non stop rain experience.  But with the school holidays in full swing you can't do much else but to brave the bad weather and find what fun you can. So far we have hit the cinema, visit the city, had numerous cosy cafe visits with friends, created a wild amount of loom band bracelets, had a serious day of puddle jumping.. and the list goes on. Even though we have been quite wet there has also been a few beautiful moments in there, like this day when wet clothes wasn't a problem and the biggest challenge was just finding some good deep puddles to jump in. Raindrops can be pretty sweet as well. Have a wonderful weekend out there!

Moments | School's Out

D wears: Longsleeve by munsterkids / Jeans by I Dig Denim. M wears: Feather Top by Baobab / Denim skirt by Baobab / Shoes by molo. 

Yep, school's out, and the everyday routines are out the window for about 2 weeks. We started the weekend with trying out a new toy that D had saved up for (big sis got a loom band kit for the holiday and little brother picked a plane). We went for a bit of a drive and finally found a big, long and not very occupied beach that was a perfect setting for trying out the new plane. The excitement was big as the plane was thrown for the first time. The little propeller swirled around and the light plane took off and flew for about 10 m. Big jumps of happiness and then more of the same for about an hour!

Its fun to see how little it takes for kids to enjoy themselves, and a toy plane isn't even necessary. If there was no plane then they would climb rocks (which they did anyway) build sandcastles and find all sorts of ways of getting to wade into the water... It was the perfect start to the holidays and a great way to end the weekend.
