10 forgotten animals

The Amsterdam zoo, Artis, has a new campaign to bring attention to 'forgotten animals'. Posters of beautifully drawn animals like the kantjil and the axolotl (!) hang in public places all over the Netherlands.

sock mix

Okay, I'll let you in on my guilty pleasure: I love watching photos of celebrities (and their kids). Shhh...
Camila Alves and her Levi and Vida are favourites.

Vida and Levi





















Look at her socks! Kids clothes can and should be so much more playful... they are kids!

Last week I was a bit critical about Scotch Shrunk, but I actually like what they are doing for boys a lot.

I think this outfit will get approval of both mom and son.

crux rug

We recently moved to a bigger house, which has a proper playing area for my boys. The room is already filled with lots of toys, but maybe a rug... maybe the room could use a rug?

P.S. It would make for a nice knee pad too!

knee pads

Do you also find it difficult to find cool, stylish knee pads that go with the rest of the wardrobe? I do. The trousers of my eldest usually last between 2 and 6 months, and I don't want to keep buying new ones. Hence my need for knee pads. And I found them: fun and nice looking knee pads*!

While browsing for my black & white & wood treasury, I stumbled upon this very cute shop

I recently rediscovered Etsy and discovered their Treasuries. Here is my first

Hmm, maybe too much of a good thing, but definitely nice to look at.

cartoon

I normally am NOT a fan of cartoons on t-shirts, but then I was checking the very lovely blog Le Dans La (I want their wardrobe!) and I saw this

Le Dans La





















And I want it! I love it!
Undercover Uniqlo





















Uniqlo unfortunately doesn't have shops in the Netherlands, but of course they do have an online shop. As a matter of fact, a lot of shops, especially in Asian countries. Please click on the link above to check for yourself, because after hours (!) of browsing the internet, I only seem to be able to buy the shirt in Taiwan, of all places! For a short moment it was fun to see how far I would get with the order without understanding the script, but filling in my personal information ended up being the bottleneck...

I guess I will have to keep visiting Le Dans La if I want to enjoy this nice Disney design.

West Elm





















I found these on Pinterest last year. Apparently you could buy them at West Elm.

The bad news is that I can't find them on their site.

The good news is that West Elm finally decided to ship outside the US!
