Mom + Me: SOFT GALLERY

 

SOFT GALLERY is one of my all time favorite brands. I really enjoy everything about this clothing line- the muted colors, the prints and embroideries of course, the art collaborations. Pay close attention to the little details, the pleats, the gathering, the uneven stripes, those are the elements that make this line so special. I also think it's great that they have added some basic styles to their collections, making mixing and matching a breeze.

I can't tell how much I love the boys selection, maybe even more than the girls! That is usually the case... I have a hard time resisting both actually. Did you know they have a woman's line too. Too cool!

Did you also know that Soft Gallery has their own online shop? You will find all their amazing style all on one site and even some items of past seasons. And they are offering free International shipping until May 15th.

 

 

I'm having a hard time choosing my favorites, but I'm definitely thinking of getting Miss E, Mister M and myself a little something. You'll just have to wait and see.

 

Window Shopping at FLORA and HENRI

Do you have a favorite online childrens shop? The kind you could spend hours looking through all of the gorgeous items and dream you could buy every single piece? I do! FLORA and HENRI is just that shop. Not only is all the clothing and the accessories beautiful but the images and the styling are simply captivating. I could spend hours I tell you!

It was in 1998 that Jane Hendreen envisoned an American kids collection ( from Seattle) that would be pure, simple and exquisite with European quality and craftsmanship-  FLORA and HENRI is just that.

Everything is all so lovely, from the collection they create under their own label FLORA and HENRI, to the impeccable choices from some of my favorite brands such as Lischen Mueller, April Showers and Wovenplay- not to mention all the sweet accesories, shoes and toys from Jess Brown, Pepe, and H-Luv just to name a few.

I love all the knits from the sweaters to the bloomers for all ages. The dresses are dreamy with sweet embroidered details. And the swimsuits... really I'm speechless. The color combinations are fun and sometimes surprising, but it all works together oh so well. They are lot's of items for babies, girls and boys to wear and play with.

So do you have a few hours to spare?!? Have a look at FLORA and HENRI's beautiful website and discover the wonderful world of children's design... at it's best.

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013."

It feels a lot more like summer than spring these last few days, but you don't hear any of us complaining! We spent the entire afternoon at the park this saturday. The kids were so happy, the swings were finally up, the water fountains working and even the ice cream bicycle came by.

Mister M & Miss E, both enjoying our neighborhood park- it was about time!!!

What a great initiative by Jodi from Ché & Fidel!

It's never too late in join in!
