crush of the week...
/Awesome magical tights for littles from Hansel from Basel. Pixies and pom poms!
L: $23 & R: $31 (eek!)
christmastime: pablo's wishlist part 1
/Technically Pablo's wish list can be bought exclusively from the Marvel wall at the Disney store. So this is really the things I want for him (all of these are secretly my wish lists! Sorry I'm not sorry...)
1. Feiyue sneakers - these are so cool! Can't really justify the winter spend as it's going to be too soggy/muddy to wear them till Springtime, but still want them...
2. Erzi Sardines in a tin - need to up the play-food collection and these are extremely cute. Perfect to go with the toy cash register and shopping basket we got him.
3. Radio Flyer - a girl can dream. I mean a boy can. It's for him, but it would make us BOTH so happy! Have wanted one of these forever...
no, really...let it snow
/Please can i go skiing...or move to a mountaintop...just to have an excuse to buy this for Pablo? I'm in love.
from the ever-covetable Mini Rodini
christmastime: mama's wishlist part 2
/More beautiful treasures from my prezzie dreamscape....
- Stocking stuffer of dreams - Anthropologie have this rad little spice jar with a heap of different coloured lids (obvs I'd like them all, please, except maybe not green...). I could decant all my ugly baking powder etc into these dreamy little jars! They are only £8! Come on, Santa...
- Oh the bakes I could make! I have one pretty little blue and white enamel pie dish but I clearly need more. SO so lovely, especially in the red. And the grey. And the blue. From Falcon Enamelware.
- These are all depressingly kitcheny, but whatever. I have wanted this *apparently sold out - HORROR* cloud cookie cutter for about 5 years and counting. It feels like 5 million years. Whoever buys it for me gets cloud-shaped biscuits, doughnuts, marshmallows and pies for all eternity... from Herriott Grace
christmastime: mama's wishlist part 1
/Husband & I are danger of making one of those "don't get me anything big this year" pacts, but let's pretend we're not...
- I'v never even smelled this but it's called Coqui-Coqui Coco-Coco so I MUST OWN IT. They also have a bloody lovely looking spa residence in Tulum. Please can I go? Please?
- Take a minute to imagine how AWESOME it would be to own this entire rainbow of Marimekko ice cream bowls. Just me? Ok, I know I don't have enough space (or enough friends?!) to justify such an extravagance, but for aesthetics alone...swoon. From Skandium.
- I am going through very nice, not un-pricey coffee like wildfire because I keep trying to make espresso-strong coffee in my beloved cafetiere. That and the tedium of heating milk in a saucepan each day MUST STOP. Please Santa.... Dualit espresso machine.
our family photo
/So excited about the pop up family photo studio my clever friends Sarah and Tara have just started. Our Family Photo offers affordable and relaxed family photo shoots, where kids are free to scamper about and be cheerful, by Sarah's award-winning photographer husband Andy. The next dates in Stoke Newington are 11th November and December 2nd and 9th, in plenty of time to solve the hideous "What the hell are we buying the grandparents for Christmas?!" dilemma. Currently they are offering a bananas introductory offer of £100 for a session - which includes the whole shoot, an online gallery and two digital print-quality jpegs. Bookings, enquiries and all that jazz at Our Family Photo.
be awesome
/Love these prints from Hello! Lucky, I wish I lived in San Francisco and could have made it along to their open studio over the weekend to snag one...
Pablo is just finally into Roald Dahl and it's such a pleasure to read for his goodnight stories. Though he's a bit newly afraid of child-eating crocodiles...
Bear is my only comfort (and other scarves)
/My super talented painter friend Tahnee has just collaborated with Mercy Delta to produce these lustworthy silk scarves, each featuring a print from her Impressions Of A Wind Up Bird series. Her paintings are so very beautiful, I can't think of anything nicer than wearing one. Except maybe owning lots. They are available *right now* from Matches.
Springtime in Tokyo MIGHT be my favourite, but actually I'm far too indecisive to choose...
Christmastime: Indy's wishlist part 1
/All she really wants is five minutes' peace to chew on something illicit, like a tissue or one of Pablo's hot wheels cars, but here are some bits that I have been dreaming of on her behalf...
1. perfect little gold moccasins from Freshly Picked
2. Bobo Choses little caramel plush dog - looks like an actual pal
3. Chimayo romper from Little Warrior Kids - is this the outfit dreams are made of?
yes please buy me these
/I am dying of lust for these little Bobo Choses dresses. They are beautiful and evocative and comfy and fun and just about perfect, as far as I'm concerned. Where I can track them down they are for much bigger littleys than Indiana will be for at least another 5 years, but sadly much smaller girls than me. Oh but if they made them my size! Or her size! I might even find away to excuse the £60ish price tag if that were the case. I have even had actual dreams about them...
