It may still be nippy outdoors, but the new line over at Stella McCartney Kids is beamin' with sunshine! Featuring both bright and muted hues of summer, this line seems to be more french-vintage-inspired than her usual hipster spin (I was downright shocked to see a throwback to some nasty old-school-blue-jean-washes!).
Here's a peek at some of my favorites:
You can check out the rest of the line for boys, girls, and babies.
And yes, this also means that her previous line is now on sale here!!!
(The highlight is definitely the "Bonnie" - the shot at the top is another view of that strappy red culotte-suit, and has detachable wings!)
New York City's Fashion Week (Fall 2011) is coming to a close tomorrow, and while I have to admit I was rather disappointed - nothing on that runway really stole my heart, there was one trend that showed up again and again and happens to be one of my most favorite (and most practical) in the winter-wear category: chunky knits with a grunge-y vibe...
(Here are a few from: Rebecca Taylor, Tory Burch, and Tracy Reese)
Plus, I'm loving the hot-pink "homeless hat" on the Tibi runway! Takes the grunge concept to a whole new level!
Aside from that I loved all the (it-color of the year) gorgeous shades of grey at DKNY:
You don't necessarily have to like (or even watch) Yo Gabba Gabba (though I can't imagine why you wouldn't!) in order to fall for this lovely printed poster! I find it so amazing how certain things just totally take off and become iconic; there are so many "Super Music Friend Show's" throughout all the Yo Gabba seasons, yet the Roots somehow completely nailed it!!

I generally get a pretty nice amount of feedback requesting more boy-related finds and topics. The truth is, I suppose I do blog too much about actual things/gear/designs for Freida... but honestly, that what makes this fun for me; I'm not out there looking for random nifty/thrifty finds to fill up my blog - I post about things that have actually caught my attention! That said, these wall decals for BOYS totally caught my eye. There's really not much out there in the mainstreams that veer from the typical (and mostly cheesy) sports-themed or superhero-paraphernalia-laden boys rooms, so this should come as quite a breath of fresh air. They're charming, whimsical, and macho! (Who said girls have all the fun??)

After being inspired from all the incredible music on the Awards show last night, I decided to spice up the morning and give my husband a little love for his morning commute: I made him a mix-tape (well, technically it was a CD, but I can't bring myself to call it a "mix-cd" - it's just wrong). I downloaded this super-rad CD sleeve by Dandee Designs, and burned it with a few of our favorite love songs. We had a wonderful little morning - nothing more fun than dessert at breakfast (and Freida enjoyed scribbling up those little hearts so early in the morning)! :)
