fashion friday: brand love

little titans makes adorable tights for boys...yey!! it was born from parents seeing the comfort their daughter was enjoying wearing tights and wanted their boy to enjoy the same with some boyish charm, heres what they say: "Baby Matilda was a comfy cutie in her stripey tights, free to crawl unhindered and stylish to boot. When little brother Kit came along, 'Tilda's old polka dots and candy stripes didn't quite fit the bill. He needed something boyish and brilliant that would let him strut his stripey stuff, bend it like Beckham or scale the back of the sofa like the real-life action hero he is. Little Titans was born - tights for boys."

wednesday in house: a hide to seek

another obsession of mine and a current trend is hide rugs. they look fantastic in the kids rooms below but im not sure how practical it is? both for cleaning and because of hairs coming off (do you have one? is it hard to maintain?). there are some cute alternatives for kids rooms in the form of jonathan adlers zebra rugs that come in many colours and  im sure there are similar looking rugs at varying price points on the market now. if you find one on the cheaper side let me know ;)

fashion friday: wardrobe crush miranda kerr

i came across a gorgeous street style photo of miranda kerr (first image) and it made me interested to see  what else this mum wears when shes out and about with her baby boy flynn. ok...so we cant look like miranda kerr but we can get inspiration from her outfits. She seems really good and putting together uncomplicated pieces and ends up looking quite put together. her looks are effortless, it looks like shes comfy and she certainly looks elegant. i think it'd be near impossible for her to look bad in anything though!

wardrobe crush: barbara martelo

how insanely cool is barbara martelo? she wears leather in such a sophisticated way even though she has a casual style. she seems to love isabel marant, givench, balmain (who doesnt), short skirts, and high heels. and i bet those designers love the way she styles their clothes... with ease and a cool charm. heres a blurb on her straight from her website: "Barbara Martelo, born in Madrid, graduated in law at the Universidad Pontificia (ICADE) in Madrid. She started her career in fashion as a stylist at TELVA magazine. She then joined VOGUE Spain before becoming a freelance stylist in 2007.Nowadays, Barbara publishes in several magazines such as Spanish VOGUE and VANITY FAIR or the Spanish leading newspaper “El PAIS”. She also works as a consultant for designers and stores such as EKSEPTION."
