Eating like an Inca






 We ate some amazing food while in Peru: ceviche, quinoa salads, lots of fresh fish and seafood, and exotic fruit smoothies in the morning and afternoons. Of course, everything tastes even better after a long day at the beach followed by an stunning sunset. Take me back! :))

Scandinavia goes below the equator




 This Pale Cloud dress was gifted to us from one of my favorite bloggers and now friend, Helena Shutz. Her blog, The Junior, introduced me to the amazing world of kids fashion, and my mind has been blown wide open ever since! I love the muted tones, and soft color palate that Pale Cloud uses as well as their timeless designs and high quality fabrics. Thank you again, Helena and Pale Cloud!

POP!






 Popupshop makes the most amazing organic cotton swim suits. I picked this silk screened number up at the tail end of last years season, and although it's still a little big (notice the bag clip remedy-haha), it is so comfortable, and the cut is age appropriate (so hard to find!). You will be seeing more of these in the months to come! :)) And YES, they do make women's clothing!


NuNuNu in Peru



 I can't get my hands on enough Nununu! Not only is their name super fun to say, but their basic colors and urban designs have the perfect amount of edge I am always looking for in kids clothing design. My only complaint is that they don't make these skirts in my size! ;)

Finger in the Nose






I bought this adorable suit by the French rock n' roll brand Finger in the Nose for Olive last year from a fantastic e-store called Scandinavian Minimall.  I decide to throw it in her suitcase last minute not expecting it to fit, but alas, it did! Hooray! Unfortunately, Finger in the Nose doesn't make this exact suit anymore, so we will stretch it till it stretches no more. ;)

Waking up in Peru






 Olive and I just got back from a 2 week trip to the coast of Peru. It was more beautiful than I could have imagined, and Olive got right to work as soon as we arrived. ;) LOTS more pics of our trip to come, including Olive wearing many of my favorite kid's brands like this Bonpoint blouse, these Anais and I shorts, and Saltwater Sandals.

Snowbirds

SURPRISE! Tomorrow, Olive and I are heading to Peru to spend two weeks hanging out at the beach with our good friends, Michael, and Melisa (and kids)! :) So glad I thought ahead and got O's suits at the end of last season-- how could I resist? :) The one piece is from organic company, Popupshop, and the two piece is Italian company, Album di Famiglia. Both are edgy and artsy, yet incredibly sweet-- just like Olive. ;)
