ciff youth 2019

  Things that caught my eye at Ciff Youth. When young in the '70/'80 Jens Storms bag always take you down memory lane. Bigger bags and pencil case was new to me. Pinecone was new to Ciff - a tumbling furniture/pillow among others, that had a soft cover, for the kids to play on, from resting as a newborn to toddlers to jump from and balancing while playling. Washable and easy to stack into a block.
LiiLu a German brand that is all about natural colors, organic and sustainable.


A book of Magic and Dreams at Soft Gallery - could not resist this dark velvet top.

New inspiring brand from Barcelona Spain "Weekend house kids" designed by Cristina, so much fun, great quality and all made in Spain.


New wallpapers from Ferm living kids, illustrated by Katie Scott with beautiful animals. Rugs for the floor or wall (on the back of the rug, is a strap to hang the carpet), inspired by  sea creatures, for the kids room or for the bathroom.

..... walking through Copenhagen after Ciff Kids, small things like this beautiful decorated coffee minivan and Ganni Kiosk pop up store makes the city alive.

Finishing the day by visiting Holly go lightly in their newly opened shop in Borgergade, a lot more space for great interior, beauty and humor that complement their universe so well. Paper flowers arrangement by Marianne Eriksen Scott-Hansen

Ciff kids 2018

Back in August I went to Ciff kids in Copenhagen to get inspired, see news and trends, the trade is mostly kids clothes, which is full of so many great news, but my interest is more in interior and accessories for kids.

Leo Leo:

First stop was Leo Leo a new brand started by Emil and Josefine, a family business that started with the cuddle teddy Lion, for soon after to involve duvet covers and soft books, hand drawn watercolour by Emil from his childhood. In the future Leo Leos adventure continues in an old bus taking the whole family to Portugal, where they expect to live and expand their brand with a line of kids clothing. Follow their journey to Portugal @leoleojournal and their brand @leoleocopenhagen and for much more about their story and thoughts behind Leo Leo

a woolen heart for your love

I love Wollfiller and their ideas. My best woolen cardigan has prolonged its life several years because of their ideas.Today Design Sponge feature a series about DIY hearts one of them is how to make woolen hearts for valentine day. Super idea why not take your loved ones beloved old sweater and add a heart any color any shape - just for the love. Old or new sweater will still be full of love. Take a look here at Woolfilller or over at Design Sponge. 

“upcycles” men’s shirts = Kallio

So many men wear a shirt every day to work, and they get worn out and replaced, but in one of these worn shirts there is so much more potential and Karina Kallio have found a way to make use of these shirt and upcycles their potential.
Kallio makes clothing for boys and girls ages 6 months to 8 years, all from pre-loved shirts. My favorite is the tunic dress and I am sure that my girls would love them for summer.

cos 2014

Last week I went to a preview of COS spring summer collection 2014. Soft pastel, summerly contrasts, inspired by the sea in fabrics and colours. Sure some things to look forward to.

All for children

It is today that you can buy this amazing collection "all for children" from H&M and at the same time donate 25% to UNICEF. I have an order from my daughter - she love the white tulle dress with gold skeletons. And most of the collection the kids can use for halloween and everyday.

halloween from h&m

While enjoying the last sun strokes, I have started thinking of Halloween and I am not alone. The 10 of October H&M will be launching their "All for children" collection, where 25% of the sales will be donated to UNICEF's work in India and Bangladesh. The fantasy world of H&M has a little bit spooky and a lot of Marie Antoinette, pirates and a "little mermaid" costume - I would love to be 6 again for a day or two. Mark the day a get a bite of the collection and help at the same time.

wild feet

I know it's almost brutal to talk about winter shoes, when the summer hardly has arrived. Any way, just wanted to show the newest wild print from Angelus and an old classic leather boot that surly will age gracefully.
