Look Coco 14

It was freezing cold yesterday morning so I decided it was time to put our winter coat. I always try to postponed that dead line where boots, tights and coat are a necessity because I know that there is no return possible before six long cold months. Anyway, yesterday was the day, specially because we bike to the kindergarten. I was lucky enough that Colette agreed to wear her new coat but she decided not to leave home without my wool hat nor her sunglasses ... She sometimes can be so posh !

Look Coco 12 - Rykiel pour H&M

First designer to collaborate with H&M on a kid's collection, Sonia Rykiel did great ! The colors are gorgeous and the work on the fabric is way better than expected. They managed to create beautiful knitwear pieces with very reasonable prices. Bravo !

PS: No, I didn't buy the matching items for myself !

RYKIEL FOR KIDS

Le Tour de force, LFG and Me

Here is what you can read on Little Fashion Gallery website:

"Big bows and silver shells perched high on the head. Le Tour de Force is an English brand created by the fashion designer Camille Roman, an ex-student of St. Martin’s School in London. At the most recent London Fashion Week, she designed the headpieces for all the fashionistas, including Suzie of the now cult blog Style Bubble. Her universe is fun and offbeat, very British - kitsch, but with a kind of crazy, wacky appeal that‘s unique. So, we decided to contact Camille to ask her to design a collection for children. Take a look at the collection of stylish Le Tour de Force headpieces, created exclusively for LFG …" (link) I strongly applaud this collaboration, I think that it's the expression of kid's fashion quintessence: crazy, fun and classy accessories that make the difference.

In July 2008, my daughter was wearing a headband that I had ornemented myself for a special occasion. As you can see, it was a huge feather flower in bright fushia - originaly a pin from Mimito accessories - that I sewed on a large headband. Le Tour de Force collection for LFG was released in April 2009 so I guess the idea of oversized headpieces for kids was "in the air" ! And this is not the end because, this season, H&M is also offering large padded bows like the one in pink sequined fabrics I photographed for you. Finally, I couldn't resist mounting that padded velvet leaf on a stripe of ruban for this Xmas - definitively not as sculptural as Le Tour de Force work but it might still highlight the party, don't you think ?

Look Coco 09

This is a very classic automnal outfit endlessly renewed, always fashionable. Here, the traditional scottish pleated skirt is grey, black and red - available at Z with the assorted dark red coton tights. A short sleeve sweater C.F.K. Monoprix on top of a dark grey turtle neck shirt Okaïdi complete the outfit. The vivid pink coton scarf is an old H&M one from the past summer collection.

Look Coco 07

White velours trousers, large boot cut - Miss Creeks

Marine blue plastron shirt - Lisa Rose, Z

Scarf bohême and liberty - H&M

Look Coco 06

I'm tempted to say that red pants are a bargain for the Winter wardrobe ! You'll find these ones at H&M. The cut is not bad and the colour pretty good but you'll have to deal with the Hello Kitty badge on the right back pocket ... The long sleeve tee-shirt with the lovely felt cat patch on the front is from Bout'chou Monoprix. The shoes I picked for the season are the grey leather low cut boots from Pom d'Api (that look like the Desert Clarks one).

Look Coco 05

I'm a big fan of that kind of outfit: comfortable/ not too wintery but just right for that shoulder season/ easy to wear and yet fashionable. The red scarf is giving that rock'n roll touch and tone up the grey and light pink.

Red scarf with printed wolves dancing in a stylised white and pink cherry tree/ Grey leggins - H&M

Knitted grey jacket with silver lurex, one button/ Light pink, long sleeves, light coton shirt - Bout'chou Monoprix

Classic mid cut toile white sneakers - Spring Court

Look Coco 04

This is a top choice for the summer. I love that short bloomer jumper. I find the light emerald color perfect with the silver lurex lines - H&M

White coton shirt from DPAM.

And she's wearing the light pink leather Tip Toey Joey babies, that you've seen before.

Look Coco 03

Today, Colette is wearing blue to match the sky and her eyes !

The cotton skirt is turquoise blue with a large elastic waist and three flat folds at he bottom. H&M

What you can't see on the picture is the very nice embroiderie on the front of the shirt. I like the subtil Indian touch, the deep blue and the embroided complex pattern. DPAM

At her feet, the babies are from that great shoe maker that is Tip Toey Joey. You can read their story on their website.

Look Coco 02

This is a very simple and yet trendy outfit :-) See the power of the accessories !

Unisex combishort Petit-Bateau

Coton scarf DPAM, with a print of a kid's painting, decorated with beads and sequins.

Pink H&M kid sun glasses.

Look Coco 01

Because it takes so long to get dress with style each day, when I think I have something worth it, I take a picture and pin it down for a less inspired morning ! This is how I started to collect Polaroïds of my outfits. Now I've passed on that concept to my daughter's dressing. This also helps my husband to dress her when I'm not around. It's going to be so fun to look at it in a few years ! Thanks Weep for reminding me :-)
