Abi Loves…Stella McCartney for Gap Kids

I do like Stella’s style a lot. Now she launched her kids line for Gap Kids even me I surrendered and went back to Gap. Nice small collection, not all of it is available at Gap in Japan for some reason. I got a knitted hooded dress for my girl and a jacket for my boy (wish it came in my size too).

James is wearing tuss Ziggy jeans, Bisgaard boots, Finger in the Nose Tee and Stella jacket.

Hand Made by Kiyochi Ogawa

Kiyochi Ogawa is the sweetest person I know. Half Brazilian, half Japanese he is a quiet gentleman with exquisite taste. The first time I saw his jewellery I had to ask him to make me one of his star necklaces.

Entirely hand made with the smallest metal parts you can imagine. A delicate work with a strong image. His star necklace which can by the way be worn numerous ways is masculine as well as feminine the way it falls on your skin.

Arigato Kiyochi!

Contact Kiyochi here for orders: kiyochiogawa@yahoo.com

E-coloriage

This website is fantastic. I found it on one of my numerous internet expeditions. E-coloriage is bringing ideas to you on how to safe the planet in a natural almost hassle free way. We are all used to doing things a certain way, same as our parents. But sometimes it’s good to see how our Grandmas did stuff or to change the way cause a difference needs to be made for us, our children and childrens to come let alone to save our blue planet.

Back to the fun part, E-coloriage lauched by illustrator and designer Nicole Maubert, illustrates in a fun way things to do to reduce pollution etc. She invited 50 illustrators to participate in this project where every week two new illustrations are linked to a theme. Of course you can upload all illustrations and print (on recycled paper please). Soon to be launched is their colouring book on recycled paper, yey!

Also visit her website Ocechou selling ecologically friendly kids stationary and accessories.
