spring / summer
I have a soft spot for anais & I and love their latest spring/summer collection. With a background in interior design, New York mother Jane D’Haene started sewing for her own daughter, Anais. After only 5 evening sewing classes it became her obsession and her passion is obvious. Beautiful fabrics blend with simple, yet elegant styles. Our picks from the latest range include the Marie dress (above) as well as the Anais playsuit and Juliette dress (below). What are your favourites? (images – anais & I ) … Continue reading

Who said a nappy bag has to scream nappy bag?! We certainly don’t. Expectant and new mums have almost been conditioned to believe a ‘nappy bag’ is the only suitable option to have all those baby essentials on hand. However, while there are some super stylish ‘nappy bags’ around, we think if you know what to look for, any of the latest season must have bags are just as good. So with that in mind and Mother’s Day looming…here is a gorgeous bag that ticks all the boxes – big enough for all of baby’s paraphernalia and more, while satisfying … Continue reading

interior style with storage
I often lean to the less is more theory when decorating, including my children’s rooms. A couple of special pieces and an understated feel is what works for me. So I love the idea of these Dutch Cupboards from Naughts & Crosses, available at gorgeous online boutique, Down That Little Lane. While a little different, they look gorgeous and offer a potential storage space for the ever growing bits and pieces that accumulate as fast as our children learn new things! Made from metal, these cupboards are available in 3 gorgeous shades – mint, coral or aqua and include 2 … Continue reading

from Rube & Harri
One of my favourite things about Winter, is buying new pyjamas for my children! Something comfy, but gorgeous, afterall why should style stop at bedtime? I also love for them to still look like children, without garish, loud slogans or the latest Disney character. So Rube & Harri sleepwear, designed in Australia using 100% cotton, ticks all the boxes. Their latest Winter collection is now available in Sizes 2-8, and the designs are stunning – classic and timeless, yet unique prints. Feminine for girls and a little preppy for boys. What’s not to love? Rube & Harri also have a … Continue reading

from Pip & Co
There’s something innocent and pure about silhouette artwork – an effortless simplicity that creates a real impact. We love the ones Pip & Co design and make in Australia, to add that extra something to your children’s interiors. Whether the wood or perspex takes your fancy, the end result is beautiful. The boy on a scooter would be a fantastic addition to either a little or an older boy’s space. Likewise, the girl on the swing would fit many design styles…from minimalist & modern to eclectic or more classic. Mix and match to fit your space. We also love the … Continue reading

handmade creations
Handmade creations are often hard to go past….with gorgeous fabrics, intricate embellishments and enormous attention to detail, each piece is unique and feels more personal than mass produced items. So we fell in love with these divine dolls and other gorgeous creations from ViolaStudio . Based in Colorado, ViolaStudio handcrafts each piece using repurposed, vintage or recycled fabrics, and as you can see, the end result is divine. We particularly love the Eco & Studio Dolls. Choose from Suzi, Lawrence or Rene and find that little extra style to match your child’s personality. Plus you can purchase a separate matching … Continue reading

with Icemilk Aprons
Getting back to basics seems more important than ever these days, when we are seemingly constantly ‘connected’ and our lives speed past at an ever quickening pace. So turning off all electronics – laptops, iphones, ipads, ipods…the list goes on – and really being present in a ‘real’ activity offers a break from the frenetic pace many of us live. Cooking is one activity that allows this break and what better way to do it, than wearing one of these divine aprons from Icemilk Aprons. Bond with your little ones over butter and eggs, not the latest app on … Continue reading
