Too much fun!

Strolling down Broadway after a late lunch yesterday I was distracted by the small crafts market that’s just popped up at the Madison Square Park.
Amongst the usual that you can expect at such a venue I noticed a very cool collection of childrenswear, Paradis Found, made exclusively with recycled and vintage fabrics. All handmade and one-of-a-kind pieces, there was a fantastic range of coats and hats in preparation for the coming cold months here in NYC.
If you happen to be in the neighborhood over the next month, drop by to check it out (and say hello to Dana Paradis, the designer behind the range). Alternatively, check out their website.
Arguably the world’s most popular sunglass brand, Ray Ban, is continuing with their range of kids styles under the sub-line of Ray Ban Junior. Perfect for some back-to-school eye protection.
Sure they’re a little bit more pricey, but damn they’re stylish…!
Here are some of our personal favourites, of course available through Amazon.com
The ever-hip Wayfarer
Or Wayfarers
And the ever-classic (& original RayBan model) Aviators
For a more sporty look, try these RayBan Resin
Or for a more grown-up look (so they don’t keep stealing yours..) these (RB9520SB)
Hoodies / Hooded towels: not exaclty the same thing, but simular.
How many hooded towels can one baby have? Not enough really. 3 at least anyway. One for bath time, one for swimmming lessons and one spare! We have found some great hooded towels from baby star who make their towels with snuggly organic cotton.
There’s always a mountain of items to be purchased (or recylcled!) for the kids heading back to school after the summer. But being summer, and kids being kids, they’re most definitely in need of a bag or backpack for sleep-overs or visits to the lake…
So why not pick them up a new one now before the rush, and give them something that’ll be useful through the summer too?
Here we’ve dug up some very cool and fun bags (& great bargains) to help point you in the right direction.
For your convenience, descriptions beneath each item are linked to a purchase destination.
With nothing heavy going on the little ones backs, more consideration can be paid to design and fun!

Scarves are everywhere at the moment, and they really make an impact on any outfit. Remember the days of dressing up in your mum’s clothes, putting her fabulous scarves around your head and dancing around the room? Well now your kids get to do it to you – and wear them out and about. We have found some great scarves online. If your little fashionista likes to wear scarves, send in their pictures, we would love to see how they accessorize!

Calling AIDS “humanity’s biggest enemy,” Natalia Vodianova has joined the fight.
The supermodel, 28, fronts the all new (BUGABOO)RED campaign — launched today in honor of Mother’s Day — and says it is the love she feels for her three children which compelled her to help.
“[Motherhood] changes your life,” she admits. “You become more aware and responsible. When you have children, it is heartbreaking to see other children suffering.
In lending her time, Vodianova becomes just the latest celebrity mum to assist Bugaboo in its effort to stamp out AIDS in Africa. Since last fall the Dutch stroller maker has been contributing 1% of all profits to The Global Fund, which serves as the largest international financial provider for programs which combat malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS.
The “wonderful, intelligent collaboration” is one Vodianova says she is proud to be a part of.
“I was keen to work with Bugaboo as they feel passionately about helping mothers and babies around the world and this is a powerful message to tell on Mother’s Day,” Vodianova explains. “I don’t get involved with every charity that comes my way. (BUGABOO)RED is particularly worthwhile.”
Vodianova says she will celebrate today at home with Lucas Alexander, 8, Neva, 4, and Viktor, 2½. “My oldest son is very sensitive, while my youngest son is the cheeky one,” she reveals. “My daughter is a princess who gets away with everything.”
The trio — Vodianova’s children with husband Justin Portman — “always make me little cards and cakes, and give me gifts,” she says. ”They’re so excited and it’s very touching.”

The Leakey Collection and Zulugrass concept was born out of need. A devastating drought in Kenya in 2001 forced the men to leave behind the women and children, so they could take the surviving cattle far up country in search of grazing land. As a result, the Leakey’s found themselves supporting as many as 100 Maasai families by giving them money for food, school fees, medical expenses and housing. This was not sustainable for either party and the Leakeys knew they had to find another way.
What transpired has become a successful business and philanthropic endeavor for the Leakeys and the Massai people. The Leakey Collection’s Zulugrass jewelry provides handmade accessories and offers a sustainable way of life for the nomadic people of Kenya. Not only are the Massai women paid for their work and given the flexibility they need to maintain their jobs, 5% of profits go back to supporting infrastructure in the Rift Valley of Kenya
Our favorite item in the collection is the Friendship Bracelet: Two identical 7″ ZuluSport bracelets are connected with a raffia tie. Best friends should cut the raffia together, each make a wish, and show their commitment to friendship, as well as to women across the globe!
