It is Sci-fi love on the highest level. The look on the boy when he saw this tee arriving the other day was priceless. Big gaping mouth and massive eyes for a whole minute until finally one word came out of his mouth.... ZAP! Yep, I hear ya... there is a whole lot of zap on that tee buddy.

Not a big gun fan in general but I can see how a kids brains kicks off when they see old classic ray guns. There is so much imagination put into them and they all scream out adventure in space! It's a major TEE crush for us. It also comes in a sweater version.

Brand Watch | Miss Ruby Tuesday

Have you heard that Women's label Ruby Tuesday has started a kids collection? Aptly named Miss Ruby Tuesday, it takes minimalism to new heights! Here is what the creators behind the small offspring has to say about their new baby...


"2011 marked the birth of Ruby Tuesday, a collection of iconic pieces that complement the wardrobe of every fashion conscious woman. Three years later, we are happily thriving and expanding the women’s line to include the younger generation.
It started with our travels to Paris and Scandinavia when we brought loads of kids stuff like Stella McCartney circus jackets and beautiful basic items with a twist. Our home is filled with three girls of 0 till 9 years old, so the seed of our 'mini' collection was inevitably planted. The collection is a mix of jerseys, washed sweats and 100% linen T-shirts.

This season, we have developed a print that is a mix of dots and animal prints, that is now already blogged internationally by trend forecasters as the ‘Dalmatian spot’ print. Miss Ruby Tuesday is essentially a kids collection with an adult touch; not too complicated in design and colours, but with nice details and prints.
Ruby Tuesday, the name of a song from the Forty Licks Album of the Stones, is a never-ending story of inspiration and influence. Within four years, we hope to branch out the label throughout Europe, and collaborate with boutique shops that are fueled by passion for their concepts while meeting the interesting individuals behind it."

You can find Miss Ruby Tuesday over at Dutch online shops Orange Mayonnaise and Springstof

Moments | Tahbilk Winery

D wears: Sweatshirt by Mini & Maximus / Cap by Munsterkids / Pants by NUNUNU / Shoes by Converse. 

On our way to Bright we decided to stop by one of the oldest wineries in Australia - Tahbilk winery. Established in 1860, Tahbilk is one of Australia's most beautiful and historic family owned wineries. Located in the Nagambie Lakes region of central Victoria (120kms north of Melbourne), one of the nation's premium viticultural areas. Tahbilk is now home to 5 generations of winemakers. 

It was a perfect stop over since we had been in the car for an hour and the kids were eager to stretch their legs. On the grounds there is also a wonderful cafe/resturant that has a beautiful scenery of the Gouldburn River. Here you can sample some of the vast array of different wines produced here and dine on fine food. It is a perfect place to bring children since there is plenty of space and the menu offers food options for kids as well. After we had topped up on food and drinks we visited the old wine cellar. The kids were amazed with all the old things they saw and our daughter couldn't get enough of the amazing seemingly never-ending dark cellar. Here you saw rows after rows of old wine barrels stacked with labels like Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Marsanne and 'old block' Cabernet. 

We explored the cellars for a while, purchased some bottles and joined their wine club before we set off on our road trip towards Bright. 

If you are in the area and would like to visit, visit their website for directions and more information.

The old saying of Melbourne having 4 seasons in one day is ringing very true these days. Summer seem to have switched places with Autumn of late and the days of wearing t-shirts and shorts seemed to have taken a rest. We had a busy weekend with the arrival of our new car and no matter the weather we were going to do a little roadtrip since it was a long wait of 9 months to get this car made and sent over to Australia. So we woke up a bit earlier on Sunday morning and hopped in the car and drove down the coast, heading for Red Hill. The kids have such a great view in this car and they were fully enjoying the majestic Victorian landscape rolling by their windows.

We knew we were getting close as the roads got smaller and the vegetation got denser. Finally we rolled into Red Hill and stopped at the lovely Epicurean restaurant/cafe. By now everybody was really hungry so we quickly had to order some yummy stone oven pizzas from their restaurant. This place is a true little gem, with food for everybody and now also a nice little store. I can definitely recommend a visit if you happen to be in the neighborhood. After lunch we had lovely walk in nature and even though the wind was on the cooler side with some warm clothes and hot chocolate it turned into a really fine day. We are hoping to have many more road trip photos to share in the future!

Brand Watch | Mini Rodini / See You Later Alligator SS15

This Mini Rodini Spring/Summer ’15 collection See You Later Alligator is inspired by the fishy life under the aquatic surface. The colours are sea weed green, ocean blue, sand, sunset pink and Florida orange.

Here's Mini Rodini's description of their new even more sustainable collection!

This season, mermaids, mermans, whales, dolphins, sea birds and crocodiles will all cheer when they find out that the beautiful luxurious swimwear collection is made from the finest weave, recycled from PET bottles and other plastic waste. The very same waste that are likely to float around polluting our seas and marine mammals often eat and die.

We have made jackets to wear when sailing in stormy salty waters. Sun hats, caps and shades that protects from the scorching sun when canoeing in the Everglades of Florida. But beware of crocodiles – don’t swim in the swamp! See you later Alligator collection also contains stylishly sustainable dresses, shorts, sweaters, t-shirts and shoes that suits at all occasions, but most practical to wear on dry land.
It’s time to put your super fancy Mini Rodini swimwear, or any other sustainable summer style on and feel proud that you actually are a part of making an environmental change!

As usual Mini Rodini creates fun and playful prints which will be popular among children and parents alike. Luckily there are plenty of great retailers that sell this label around the world so if there is a specific print or size you are looking for there are plenty of opportunity to find it!

To find Mini Rodini in Australia please visit following retailers: Buckets and Spades / Hipkin / Mr.Wolf / Alfie Wild and in Europe visit: Orange Mayonnaise / Springstof / Loja Dada / Shan & Toad / Cozy Kids / La-Di-Da.

After a long hiatus (much longer than anticipated) I am finally back after a big computer crash. It is never easy when your trusty old computer gives up on you and I think my computer finally had enough of all my photos and information and therefor properly died in a glorious freeze frame sort of way. But thanks to a computer savvy husband we manged to get hold of everything and get it over to my brand new computer. It feels good to be back and I can't wait to get this new year started...

Here are some photos from our holidays. It was so nice to have enough days to fully relax on. The kids almost turned into summer wildlings, with salty long hair, barefeet and almost growing gills from spending so much time in the water. These photos was from a rather cool afternoon when we visited one of our favorite spots on the Mornington Peninsula, The Rock seafood restaurant. It is located in Mornington and you can both swim and admire the lovely little harbor from the restaurant terrace.  We had a lovely lunch and after we spent some time on the beach where the kids played with the toys they had brought. It is a good 40 minute drive here but the scenery is wonderful and the trip is totally worth it, it is even better with some take away coffee and big car windows!

I hope everybody has had a good start to the year ! Here's to an adventure filled 2015.
