Moments | Turning Off

The sun is shining, yes you heard right, the sun is shining in Melbourne (after some long, desaturated rainy days) so today we have decided to enjoy it and turn off the computer! Enjoy your Friday/Weekend out there as well!

CREATIVE | MR.PRINTABLES

I had to share one of my favourite creative hangouts on the net. Meet MR.PRINTABLE! Mr.P is a friendly site offering creative and educational free printables for children and families. Here you can find great wall posters like MAP OF THE MOON and ALPHABET POSTERS, or how about some great INVITATION CARDS to an upcoming birthday party? Or if its a rainy day, how about making some BIRD FINGER PUPPETS?

There is no limit to the creativity here, and I LOVE how its all in the name of fun and eduction! Definitely one of our favorite places that I like to share with my kids. Check it out here:

Brand Watch | Happeak

One of the things I really like with having a blog is discovering new labels (or at least new to me), and every once in a while you stumble upon fashion designers that somehow have hit their head on the nail when it comes to creating functional and great looking clothes for kids. Lithuanian label HAPPEAK is one of those labels.

Happeak is a new, though ambitious brand for kids clothing from birth to 8/9 years. The name Happeak stands for 'Happy peak' - a calm and inspiration place for families, offering authentic, interesting and high quality products for a stylish childhood and comfortable parenthood (they also do adult collections). Since the label is produced in a country that is still learning how to be free, it's quite important for them to stress freedom and tolerance for all kind of diversity, in their clothes for kids. Their collection consist of simple cuts, loose styles and a lot of unisex models which usually carries a social message.

Not sure if they do worldwide shipping as of yet but when I find out I will be sure to let you know here. In the meantime check out their shop that is packed with a contagious "we need" apparel!

Moments | Black N' White

My little guy loves visiting the dog beach not too far from us. It has a great sand beach with lots of little hills and dunes to hide behind. This time around we ran into a very playful dog, and not to mention BIG! A great Dane came to play with us and after checking with the owner he confirmed he was indeed a children's dog and very keen to play. D threw a ball to the dog named Scout, and it didn't take long until he forgot his initial fright of his size and they became quite good friends. They were very cute together like only a kid and a dog can be and they funnily enough were matching in black and white as well...

INSPIRATION | NOEUF x 2

There is always a certain sense of hurry when the 1st of Dec arrives. It's here, the month, and what about Christmas shopping? I think I am the latest shopper every year, December always seem to sneak up on me and then it's here, seemingly running away from me. This year I get some inspiration from Noeuf's cute Christmas (Noel) catalog which is packed with nice ideas for most ages.

How great does those Factory alphabet wooden blocks look?! And I have such a soft spot for that wolf knit from Oeuf NYC too...

While you are over at Noeuf's website, don't forget to check out their own brand new collection of clothes, entitled COLORAMA. Great everyday wardrobe from age 0-7! Get some inspiration on how you can mix and match the outfits from their LOOKBOOK right here.

Moments | Lazy Weekend

M wears: Swan tee by Mini Rodini / Tutu by Zara Kids / Trilby hat by Pavement. D wears: Spidey tee by Electric Boy / Pants by Seed / Cap by Munsterkids / Shoes by Hummel.

An afternoon in the sun. The first day of Summer and hopefully we get many more lazy afternoons with sun and fun. We are enjoying a lazy weekend over here, with trips to new playgrounds and a bit of Christmas shopping. Melbourne has been behaving and giving us our fair share of sun so we can't complain. Hope your weekend have been nice as well, where ever you might be reading from...

New In | MUNKSTOWN

There is something so appealing with geometrical patterns and there is one children's label that have figured this out, Munkstown! US based label Munkstown, packs a proper geometrical punch with their tops, accessories and shoes.

Unique prints got me intrigued and as I investigated further there was just so much goodness that I had trouble knowing what to pick! The other day a little parcel came to our door and it was a little like an early Christmas to open it up. The graphic designer in me is doing double jumps and the kids seem to be just as excited. In it we found the rad Fractal Sweatshirt and two tees, the Balancing Act tee & Kalidescope  in a great little recyclable cotton bag. The tees are super comfy with a light cotton blend with 50% cotton and 50% polyester which makes them perfect for hot summer days. I also like that all of Munkstown's clothes are unisex, and are easy to pass down to little brothers and sisters.
