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 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 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.

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

A Schleich elephant in the sand, a Liberty bathing suit, coloured scarfs on the head to protect us from the sun, and freedom for best friend.

Melamine dishware

When my daughter began to sit at the family table, I've first trusted her with regular tableware ... Then I started to collect melamine dishes so she could also enjoy nice dishware without causing any irreparable damage. Instead of having a complete set I founded more pleasant to mix and match pieces.

I have got most of these melamine crockery from Monoprix in France. Their summer collection is very nice with its shape inspired from plastic and foil take away dishes. The dots ones are part of their permanent collection.

The long spoons and the fushia cup are from the well-known brand Rice that makes a such wide range of products. These can be bought in Geneva at: La Boîte à Malices, Kids Planet, Duo sur Canapé, Famous Ape, UBF Doudou & Cie, Envie de Fraise.
