A Trendsetting Magazine & Online Community For The Trendsetting Child + Parent
The Danish brand Noa Noa has been around since 1981, but somehow their playful, bohemian collections didn’t cross my radar until this morning. There are four separate lines — Noa Noa, Miniature, Miniature Baby, and Décor — but it is Noa Noa Miniature I am most smitten with. Here are my favorite images from Noa Noa Miniature’s Spring and High Summer Catalogues.

After a brief hiatus, I’m back with another Get the Look post! This time, I’m recreating Stella’s look from the sweet little book When Stella Was Very, Very Small. I think the watercolor illustrations are just too cute!
This first image, where Stella is exploring “the great tropical jungle”, made me realize that my daughter Aveline has never played in the grass! (The grassy areas just aren’t suitable for children where we live. I think many of you know what I mean. 😉 ) I’m looking forward to taking her out of the city later this summer so she can have a good frolic in the grass like children should!

I’ll be honest. The “Look, Jane, look!” dialogue of Dick and Jane really doesn’t do anything for me. Oh, I love vintage books, but I like the storylines to have a bit more punch and pizzazz. The illustrations, though, are truly classic!
This week, I was admiring the retro clothing in the illustrations and realized that much of it can be purchased from Olive Juice! Here are a few of my favorites, and how they match up to Dick, Jane, and Sally’s wardrobe.

When I was a single working professional, I sometimes babysat on the weekends and after office hours. Two of the delightful children I spent a good deal of time with were being raised in the United States by a British father and an American mother. It was during this time that they introduced me to the Charlie and Lola show. I probably shouldn’t admit this in public, but I started collecting the DVDs for myself shortly afterward, and told myself that someday I’d dress my future children like Charlie and Lola.
Here’s how you can get the look for your own little Charlie or Lola!
