While browsing the GAP store oggling their new Threadless onesies I happened upon the baby girl’s summer line and found these pieces. LOVE! GAP has in the past had a freaky sense for adorable lightweight summer girls’ dresses, and this combination has made me fall in love all over again!
In this outfit:
As some of you may know, GAP and Threadless teamed up this spring to produce a fresh line of tee’s for men and women. Well now that summer is rolling around, they’re extending the new line to include tee’s and onesies for your little dude or dudette! Graphic tee’s are a mainstay in ANYONE’s wardrobe, and as they say, variety is the spice of life. SO, next time your wee ones outgrow their current set of duds, be sure to stock up on this summer fashion staple any which way you can :)
How do you make a cute little sleeveless glam dress even more glam? Add lego David Bowie of course! Simply cut, soft cotton and ruffles, with Ziggy Stardust printed bright and loud- summer garden parties beware :)
Find it here at Stardust UK, a lovely little boutique we recently discovered.
Ready for a new bib to add a splash of color (other than “spaghetti sauce red”?) to your baby’s picnic apparel? Check out this sweet bandana bib from bebé style newcomers noñoño! I don’t know how we missed this little gem before, but to be honest I’m tempted to save it from a lifetime of food spillage and just use it as a style accessory. Because seriously, the cuteness of a colorful bandana without the safety issues of having to actual tie something around your little sweetling’s neck? I think we might be onto something here..
We recently had the pleasure of having a few of our favorite questions answered by Winnie, the design-genius behind Mishka Aoki. As you know our inquiring minds are always keen to get a peek behind the veil, to see where the magic happens, in the mind of the designer.
It all started when I had my daughter a few years back and I couldn’t find anything that looked stylish & different for her to wear when we are out. So I ended up designing dresses for her and I noticed that we always received compliments about her dresses and people always enquired where we bought the dresses. So that’s how it all started!
There isn’t anything in particular, as every collections has quite a different inspiration.
To provide a line that is fresh, stylish, unique and stand out from the crowd. Most labels out there do very colourful dresses for children, and though I have started to introduce a few colours along the season, I believe that girls don’t have to always be in pink, nor boys in blue.
There isn’t any specific trends that I keep track of because I believe that we should dress based on what makes us look and feel good, not just what’s deemed trendy.
As per above, my designs aren’t normally affected by trends, however in the beginning of the design process sometimes my colour palette is. In the end I go for what is the most beautiful, whether it’s trendy or not :)
I like anything ‘couture’ and so I wanted to created dresses that are unique, if a little bit over the top some might say ;) —but are still cute!
Absolutely, my limited edition LONG LIVE THE LITTLE QUEEN dress! Though “One Day in Paris” & “One Million Dreams” dress have also been my all time favorite as well.
And that’s that! Thank you so much Winnie for taking the time to chat with us!
Before you go, don’t forget to visit the Mischka Aoki Facebook page and show them some love!
Addison’s Wonderland came to us purely through serendipity- a chance tweet we happened to see that landed us square in the middle of a world of girl’s bedding and decor that is straight out of a faerie tail. Ruffles, ruffles, and more ruffles seems to be the mantra here…and who could ask for more? The delicate patterns and rich textures created by the gathers and ruffles create dreamlike scenes for children and parents alike. I know a few rooms in my house that could use a few more ruffles…
We are utterly enchanted by fresh Australian label, Mischka Aoki. Their designs are light, fresh, and classic, with their mainstay being timeless gowns and party dresses. Feather light sheer tufts puff in delicate flounces while solid lines crisscross in elegant, dramatic form. Their website is tricky to navigate, but the gorgeous full frame photography gladly distracted us, and made the journey a worthwhile one.
This one is mandatory viewing for all fashion addicts, you won’t be disappointed.
Ever since we found out we were having a baby girl I’ve been obsessed with brown and pink styles. Case in point, Emma now has three pairs of shoes that are brown with pink flowers. And my love for the color pairing extends beyond shoes. When I saw Baby Eggi’s Apron Jumper in brown and rose petal for sale on Zulily, I couldn’t help myself. I bought two, in sizes 2T and 3T.
At the time, Emma was in size 6 months. After placing my order, I felt a little sheepish. I hadn’t heard of Baby Eggi before, much less owned any of their clothes. I wondered if I had bought more baby clothes that would languish unworn in Emma’s Closet. I needn’t have been worried.
When I received my purchases in the mail, I eagerly pulled out the jumpers. They were the softest material I have ever felt ( a cotton/modal blend), and the colors were rich and complimented each other perfectly. I wish they came in my size! Emma hasn’t been able to wear the jumper yet; it’ll be the perfect outfit for her next summer and into the fall. I definitely plan to use it as a layering piece with tights or leggings, and a sweater and cute pair of boots.
Baby Eggi didn’t disappoint when it came to my love affair with pink and brown, and my delight in my impulse purchase led me to check out their website – which is gorgeously simple. Something I appreciate in all things.
Baby Eggi is a clothing line created with love by two sisters on a mission-to make beautiful, high quality children’s clothing, and to create a better world for children everywhere. They succeed on both counts- their clothing is incredible and they give 20% of net proceeds to children’s charities.
I can’t wait for Emma to wear her jumpers, and I certainly plan on keeping my eye on Baby Eggi.
