Adorable kidswear line Paul & Paula

There a lot of amazing kids shops these days on Etsy. Many of them you have probably seen. But one I had sadly never seen is Paul & Pauala from Australia.

This image in particular stole my heart:
Maybe in part (aside from the cute outfit) because I can imagine our baby boy looking a bit like this? John’s golden locks and my brown eyes?

And these little skateboard leggins?! Ahh!

And for those of you with girls, they have some darling pants/leggings.
Would you look at these little skinnies with sailor buttons?!

And lord knows I love a bow. But a striped bow? double dose of cute!

Follow that link and check out the full line!

Damn You Forever

So yesterday when I was searching for my blanket sweater on Forever 21 so I could link you guys, I came across this awesome top. Where was this bad boy when I was in the store?! I love it.

I’m currently debating an online purchase….but it’s hard to shop non maternity when you are sporting a small basketball under your shirt without trying it on. Blurg.

Finally a MaMa

I have been eyeballing this amazing Nora Kogan ring for years.

It has been on my “one day” wishlist forever. That day has finally come.

John got it for me as a “push present” if you want to use that silly term. But really, he got it for me because he loves me. We had it sized to my wedding finger, because, is there really anything better than being both a wife and a mother? When he gifted it to my early (this weekend) I told him I loved it and then asked “But am I allowed to wear it yet? I’m not a mama yet.” to which he responded “YES YOU ARE!” and stared at my ever growing belly.

He’s hoping for a motorcycle for his “push present”. haha. Even if he’s not doing any pushing, I wish I could afford to get him that as a gift. He’s the best.

PS this ring is insanely dainty in real life. It looks a bit different than this photo. Also the gold is shiny, not matte like it appears here.

Oh. My. Gah. – Stilleben Highchair

Is this not the most beautiful high chair you have ever seen in you life?

When I saw it, I was sure it would cost a million dollars.
When it turned out that it doesn’t cost a million dollars, I was sure that they would not ship to the US.
When it turned out that they did ship to the US, I was sure it would cost a million dollars.

I was wrong.

There is not a lot of product information on their site but we fell in love instantly.

And sometimes when you fall in love, you do stupid things.

We bought this beautiful sexy highchair.

Even if we don’t know where it will go, or exactly how big it is, or how long it will be until we use it, or if it will arrive in one piece.

But despite all that, we are in love. And we just bought the most beautiful highchair we have ever seen in our lives.

Europeans just do baby stuff 500% better than we do.

Spoiled Pup

John & I may not have gotten each other gifts for Valentine’s Day but someone in the house still got spoiled. I happened to discover Billy Wolf yesterday, and it just so happened that they were running a Valentine’s Special (of 40% off!!). Sorry I didn’t know about it sooner so you could all run out and get load of adorable dog goodies at a discount. But their prices are still great and the stuff is unbelievably cute. I like to think of it as menswear for dogs. Obviously, the ladies can still rock menswear (like our pup).

Here is what we got.

WAXED CANVAS, SO IT’S WATERPROOF! NOT TO MENTION REVERSIBLE.

THE FLIP SIDE

AND THE BUTTON CLOSURE? IT’S GOT AN ANCHOR ON IT. YEAH, ADORABLE.

Be sure to check out Billy Wolf, their stuff is totally awesome and looks really high quality. Especially if you live in a cold climate. I mean we bought all this and we live in Los Angeles! We cant wait for the few times a year that Peeps can rock her Billy Wolf duds.

Worlds coolest bike rack

seriously. hands down. you cant argue. worlds. coolest. bike. rack.

“Made from solid wood (in this case, Walnut) and suspended by a solid steel square rod mount, this shelf can hold both your bike, as well as anything else you want on it quite easily. If you want to just showcase your bike, that’s fine, but if you want to utilize the space for books, flowers, bike accessories, etc., that’s what it’s there for.”

Available at Knife & Saw. Walnut (shown here): $300 or Ash: $275

Sleek bike basket by Copenhagen Parts

I love the simplicity of this bike basket by Copenhagen Parts. It’s pretty cool how the handle bars and the basket are one. I love that there is no fussy-ness about it and its just simple and streamlined. Retails for 160 Euro.

Kind of reminds me of my beloved Linus basket. Sadly they discontinued this version with wood. I believe they make a similar all metal one now. Mine got knocked over when unattended and now its a bit wonky in shape, but i still love it.
