Oeuf be good, preview styles for quirky kids fall 2013 – photographed by Lee Clower

Posted on April 29, 2013 by smudgetikka

Oeuf be good in New York has become renowned for its quirky interiors and fashion style.

The kids fashion knit collection is Fair Trade and made in Bolivia from baby alpaca and quite rightly is sold in top stores around the world including Liberty in London.

New styles for Fall 2013 from Oeuf see a new mask hat and a new colourway for the heart hat, an incredible string of sausages scarf, some beautiful soft knitted dresses and scarves and a filled in Queens crown hat.

The shots are taken by their favourite NYC kids photographer Lee Clower using the same models as last season, its so cute to do this, you watch as they grow up, it feels like sharing a little of their lives too.

Cath Kidston celebrates 20 years of business with brand new prints for fall 2013

Posted on April 25, 2013 by smudgetikka

It all began 20 years ago with a small shop in Holland Park in London selling car boot vintage furniture finds repainted into pastel colours and vintage fabric.

Cath Kidston soon began to produce her own prints and products using vintage inspiration with a modern twist. The first products were an ironing board cover and floral wallpaper. Over the following years new prints were introduced such as the cowboys, strawberries, spots and roses and guess what, 20 years later the ironing board covers are still going strong and the products are sold worldwide.

There is a celebratory book which was launched yesterday too called Coming up Roses telling the story of the ups and downs of growing her own business.
