Misha & Puff Fall 24 Drop 2

Ode to the Eclectic Styles of Decades Past

Misha & Puff’s fall collection beautifully merges the laid-back warmth of late '70s California with the urban edge of early '80s New York City. Like Part 2 of the baby collection, the new kids' arrivals build on this nostalgic foundation, introducing more easy-to-layer pieces with dynamic prints, cozy wool knits, and bold graphics.

Kid Styles That I Love

Part 2 includes some of my absolute favorite pieces from this collection, and I’m excited to share these soon-to-be heirlooms with you:

• Crochet Meadow Cardigan: A truly special, hand-crocheted jacket-style cardigan with crochet buttons, a multi-color rounded collar, and playful graphic motifs on the front.

• Yearling Sweater: A classic crewneck pullover with a perfectly relaxed fit, featuring a charming horse intarsia on the front.

• Meadow Motley Cardigan: This vintage-inspired cardigan reminds me of treasured pieces from my grandma’s closet, with its delicate hand-crocheted motifs.

• Meadow Crewneck: A beautifully crafted crewneck pullover adorned with special hand-crocheted details, making each piece unique.

• Nova Quilt Pinafore: A pinafore-style dress showcasing incredible artisanal craftsmanship with its hand-worked Nova Quilt intarsia.

Personal Impression

As a long-time admirer of Misha & Puff, Part 2 of this collection embodies everything I love about their aesthetic – beautiful, eclectic, and playful. The way they blend retro inspiration with modern sensibilities creates pieces that feel nostalgic yet fresh, perfect for building a timeless wardrobe. These are the kinds of clothes that you’ll love and pass on to future generations. Also, don’t miss their stunning adult collection, which shares the same heirloom quality. Misha & Puff truly creates pieces to be loved and cherished for years to come, and I absolutely love that.

Bonnie & the Gang AW24 "Shapes of Play"

Meet Bonnie & The Gang

When I discovered Bonnie & The Gang, a young Belgian brand founded by Ine De Haes, I knew I had discovered something special. Ine, while caring for her own little gang, was inspired to create beautiful clothing that respects both nature and people. It's a sustainable story that resonates deeply with me and Mario.

What caught my eye was how Bonnie & The Gang shapes their ethos around conscious consumption and sustainable choices. They put their hearts into making timeless, minimalist designs from organic cotton and recycled materials. I love that babies and kids can grow into these clothes, enjoying them for more than just one season - it's exactly the kind of thoughtful approach to children's fashion that I appreciate.

AW24 Collection: Playful Shapes and Sustainable Style

The AW24 "Shapes of Play" collection features an earthy color palette, asymmetrical cuts, abstract embroidery, and just the right amount of frill. They have also designed some of the most modern and coolest denim pieces I've discovered this season!

Mario and I truly enjoyed exploring the collection. Here are some of our favorites that embody the "Shapes of Play" concept:

• Anabel Dress: Perfect for any occasion, this standout piece makes me wish it came in adult sizes!

• Fiona Dress Denim: A modern shape for kids who love to stand out in style.

The Responsibility Lies Within Each Of Us

At Bonnie & The Gang, they believe in inspiring conscious consumption and sustainable choices. Their approach revolves around creating timeless, minimalist designs from organic cotton and recycled materials. This philosophy allows babies and kids to grow with their clothes, enjoying them for more than just a single season.

Bonnie & The Gang is dedicated to creating high-quality, sustainable apparel. They aim to create fashion styles that make a statement while being mindful of their impact on both the environment and the people involved in the process. Their mission focuses on creating thoughtful garments for caring parents who prioritize their children's well-being and appreciate long-lasting fashion over fast fashion trends.

This commitment to sustainability and conscious design is what drew me to Bonnie & The Gang. Their playful aesthetic, combined with a responsible approach to fashion, quickly made them a favorite in our household. If you're in search of clothes that balance fun and imagination with responsibility, Bonnie & The Gang might just be the perfect fit.

Cos I Said So AW24 "Hotel Mama"

The Hotel of Impeccable Service

For AW24, Cos I Said So brings you the story of “Hotel Mama.” After all, a child's home is pretty much like living in a hotel with impeccable service. The artwork on the apparel is inspired by sayings often heard from moms and children at home. The collection's vibe is a mixture of comfortable basics with a retro twist, mixed with some dressier items to complete their fall wardrobe. It's all styled in a preppy way mixed with graphic elements. The collection is outspoken, fun, and bold – just like our kids!

From Antwerp with Love

Cos I Said So is an Antwerp-based brand, founded in 2016 by boy mom Sofie Ysewijn. All of their basics are made using organic cotton, and their main focus is to be as sustainable and ecological as possible – as you know, I love that. The collections are designed in Antwerp (Belgium) and produced in Portugal. Cos I Said So is conscious about (over)production, therefore they only produce what they sell. Every little bit helps the environment and secures a better future for our kids. They even avoid the use of plastic and unnecessary packaging as much as possible.

Cos I Said So stands for easy fits and comfortable basics in unisex colors, perfect for mixing and matching all year round. The hand-drawn graphics give a unique signature touch. They have all your kiddos covered, with clothing sized from baby to teen!

As you know, I'm always on the lookout for unisex brands with a sustainable approach to design that are also kid-friendly and fun.

I especially love this collection because my favorite trend for AW24 is Pretty Athletic, the juxtaposition between sporty and feminine elements. This collection is both pretty & comfortable; my favorite item this season is the track pant. Wide-legged and comfortable with a sporty edge, it's the ideal pant for kids, and Cos I Said So has the best wide-leg track pant I've discovered this season.

Our Top Picks

To begin the Cos I Said So story, here are our favorite pieces that blend preppy, sporty & comfort, each with a touch of “Hotel Mama” charm:

• Color Block Wide Jog Pant: Perfect baggy fit with side slits - comfy for all kids lounging in mom's living room

• Color Block Jog Jacket: All-day comfort with an oversized fit - like a warm hug from mom

Sea x Zara Collection

A Whimsical Collaboration for Kids

Sea New York and Zara have teamed up to create an effortlessly cool, whimsical, and vintage-inspired collection of kids' clothing, shoes, and accessories that is both stylish and practical. Designed for children aged 6 to 14, this collection is a delightful blend of Sea's signature bohemian aesthetic with Zara's wide-reaching appeal. It features 28 versatile pieces, including patchwork denim, crochet bomber jackets, pastel ditsy-print pajamas, and lace-embroidered track shorts.

Inspiration and Highlights

What I love most about the Sea x Zara collection is how it celebrates curiosity and playfulness. It's rooted in the childhood friendship of Sea's founders, Monica Paolini and Sean Monahan, and you can feel that dreamlike spirit of youth in every piece. My personal favorites? The seashell patchwork dress and the crystal-embellished Mary Jane flats - they're just too cute!

Style and Aesthetic

The collection strikes a perfect balance between sophisticated and playful. There's a bohemian flair that mixes romance with a touch of tomboyish energy, capturing the sense of wonder that both brands are known for. As a fan of Sea and Zara, I'm absolutely smitten with this collaboration. My only complaint? I wish it came in grown-up sizes so I could shop the line for myself!

Encouraging Self-Expression

This collection is all about encouraging self-expression and creativity. Each piece is designed to be worn and loved, allowing kids to mix and match to their personal style. It's the kind of clothing that makes you wish you were a kid again!

Play Up AW24 Embracing Circularity "Wooden Memories" X So-So

Sustainable Fashion with a Playful Touch

Play Up is a baby and children's clothing brand that caught my eye. Founded in 2004, they design and make their products locally in the North of Portugal. What really stands out to me is their commitment to sustainability, social responsibility, comfort, and quality. I love that they use natural fibers like organic cotton and recycled materials in their clothing.

"Embracing Circularity"

The AW24 collection, "Embracing Circularity," is all about finding creative ways to give new life to waste. This season's theme, "Wooden Memories," features guest artists Maria and João, the So-So duo. Inspired by Portuguese expressions, they create objects from wood waste. I'm fascinated by their simple, timeless pieces that spark a little one's imagination.

Special Edition Highlights

The collection includes two Special Edition pieces that I'm excited about: an interactive hedgehog and an interactive mobile. It's amazing to think that the wood used in these creations comes from trees damaged by storms and fires - talk about embracing circularity! The clothing illustrations are not just cute; they raise awareness about endangered wildlife species like the Iberian lynx, elephant, hedgehog, and sheep.

Personal Recommendation

I'm a big fan of Play Up because they're serious about reducing the use of virgin raw materials and encouraging product circularity. But what I really love is that their clothes are fun for kids, super soft, comfy, and exceptionally well-made.

Enjoy exploring this thoughtful, eco-friendly collection!

Bobo Choses SS24 "A Folk Song"

Discover the Stories and Celebrations

Bobo Choses SS24 "A Folk Song" collection is a heartwarming tribute to folk traditions while creating new memories. It's inspired by village folk festivals where children and adults gather in the streets with musicians, storytellers, dancers, and folkloric creatures to celebrate culture and life.

Meet the Lively Cast

The collection introduces a charming cast of characters in its prints and artwork:

• The Parade Master

• Happy Masks

• Dancing Giants

• Beautiful Flower Bouquets

• Playing Drums & Guitars

• Classic Ginghams, Plaids, & Stripes

As always, Bobo Choses created a colorful collection full of playful patterns printed on loose and comfortable pieces; perfect for embracing the sunny days and breezy nights ahead. I especially love the flower bouquet print; it's a fun and refreshing take on a traditional floral print. I also love the red Catalan espadrilles with a printed ribbon and the patchworks of the denim pieces; their play with color is a modern approach to design, and I'm certain we'll see more color-blocked designs in future seasons as a trend.

Commitment to Sustainablity

Bobo Choses created this collection with the environment in mind, using earth-friendly materials. They also manufacture and produce most of the collection locally in Spain and Portugal.

Why Mario (and I) Love Bobo Choses

For kids like Mario, who value comfort, self-expression, and playful colorful prints, Bobo Choses isn't just about clothes. It's a brand Mario has worn since he was a newborn, and he continues to wear it into his teens!

I've watched Mario grow up with Bobo Choses, from their adorable baby bodysuits to the cool tees he wears now. It's been amazing to see how the brand has evolved with him, always offering something that fits his style and personality.

We truly love Bobo Choses – it's not just fashion, it's part of our family's story!
