Nonpareil

From Brooklyn, mydearthing is fantastic indie clothing label designed by Lauren Jones, a former knitwear designer for Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie…{this gal knows her stuff}. All the pieces have great style, and are so wearable!! I love every single piece

There’s a great interview about Lauren on the blog kaKofonie of si(gh)lenS {looks like Lauren and I share the same taste in music…especially kexp.org!}…I suggest you check it out!

Hurrah for the internet!! I just love getting to know gals from far-flung places…like Puppy and Chris from Chria, in Brazil. They are long-time readers of my blog, and have a super cute blog of their own, as well as an online shop. Their shop oozes with cuteness…pillows, purses, scrapbooks…lots of hearts, flowers and bright colors, all handmade with incredible detailing. I asked for some photos, and they sent me the layout above! They also make custom nurse uniforms…adorable!

Everything is so festive…get me out of this freezing cold and off to Brazil!

My head is still in Hawaii. I’ve been home for a week now, but am having a tough time adjusting back to freezing temps…brr…

Just one more find from Hawaii for you…I found the cutest shop in one of my favorite little towns in Kauai. It’s called A. Ell Designs, and it is located in Kapaa. The owner, Angelique, sews her clothing right there in her shop…I bought super-soft bamboo tee shirts for my daughter and myself. Her shop is bright and cheery and full of handmade goods by all sorts of great local designers. What a find! She carries a few items on her site…or her Etsy shop as well.

Can you tell that I’m trying to mentally prepare myself for winter?! I’ve found more fabulous indie-made coats…this time, from De Novo. The designer writes that she started her coat making career making coats for her dog at age 7! How sweet! I LOVE the coat on the bottom right…

You can check out more styles on her website, too!

What kind of cuteness are the tees and plush from Belgium based Plush?!! Their little creatures have such great character. Their sizes run from 3-6 months all the way up to 6 years. So cute!

I love the photos too…aren’t those kids are adorable! Oh how much I’d have to pay to get my dishwater-blond to look that gorgeous…ha ha!
