Fall fashion is here, and I have to admit I am more excited to shop for Mavi then for myself. One of my favorite store : Joe Fresh, recently launched their baby collection and I am beyond excited, I get to play dress-up with my baby boy
I mean, just look at these outfits. To die for!
I have a confession to make. I am not a fan of themed or primary color coded baby clothes. I want my son to wear mini-monsieur clothes and not be the official mascot of Disney or Sesame Street (no offense, it just doesn’t float my boat)
So ya, I couldn’t resist taking a trip to the store and purchase a few items you see here. We got some shoes, shirts, pants, and even onesies. I can’t wait for it to get a little colder so that I can actually dress him up in them
Sorry for my American readers, Joe Fresh is only available in Canada. But for you Canadians out there, go check it out. You’ll love the awesome, inexpensive fashion (even if its for you)
Shopping for baby shoes can be fun. Even if they don’t wear them long. So when I saw these handmade shoes by JoyFolie I had to share. I especially love the baby girl shoes. The ruffles, the prints. Too cute. Why can’t boys wear ruffles and flowers. Why?!?!
Be sure to check out their Website and Blog for the latest updates.
If I were to get married again, I would definitely get one of these vintage inspired couture garters. They are feminine, sassy but oh-so sexy. Love Love Love
It all started off with the already painted wall. Purple-ish gray hue with white wainscoting. We had painted this room when we moved in our house taking into account this would “one day” be the room of baby. I wanted something that was neutral so we could either go boy or girl with pops of color. I love gray so it was only appropriate to incorporate that in major elements in the room.
I chose tone on tone gray houndstooth fabric for the modern glider that would fit perfectly in the corner of the room. A gray shag rug which would be placed under the dark wood crib would accent the gray in the glider. I was getting custom bedding made and because it would be handmade, I wanted to choose colors that were gender neutral so that I can use this amazing bedding for baby #2 if we happen to have one I wanted modern prints; stripes and dots in bright colors ; blues, yellows and green.
Theme? Well you can say that I went pinwheel crazy. I guess that’s the theme. Modern Bright Pinwheel gender neutral nursery. Phew… that is a long title, but seems to be right on the dot. I loved pinwheels as a child and realized it was something that wasn’t being used much in nurseries (well anyway I haven’t seen any) … so I went all out. Making this colorful paper toys was a great inexpensive DIY project and I scattered them all around the room. I made a wall of custom art (all designed by me) framed in white frames (so that they would pop on the gray wall) and added a couple of pinwheels to the layout.
I also added some pinwheels in the pom clusters I also DIY-ed. I didn’t want to have a mobile in the room so I figured having a cluster would be a more modern way to go about it. I included 2 white paper lanterns I took home from my baby shower as well as green and blue paper lanterns I found at the party store. They fit perfectly with the greens and blues in the bedding. Lastly, I wanted to incorporate typography somehow, so I got custom letters made out of bamboo and hung them from the cluster.
I am really happy with the outcome of the room, I just hope baby boy will too.
Here is a movie I made of a mini tour of Mavi’s nursery. With custom bedding to DIY frames and PomPom clusters, this blue, yellow, green and gray modern nursery is perfect for this little boy. (Well I seem to think so)

Hi! I’m Holley, and I’ve got a little blog called Dead Flowers, where I talk about pretty much everything, including my case of sudden-onset baby fever. Because I’ve got babies (and fashion, of course) on the brain, I thought I’d share with you guys an inspiration board I made featuring some maternity clothes that aren’t really maternity clothes.
I’d add a couple pairs of black extra-stretchy leggings and some elastic waistband cotton skirts and call it a new wardrobe. Who says you can’t be both fashionable and pregnant?
I love bow ties, only wish more men would wear some. When I saw the new “Forage” line of bow ties from Something’s Hiding in Here, I had to share. I mean… they are amazing, unique, stylish with a hint of vintage in them.
They will make their debut at the curiosity shoppe this summer in san francisco. I have a feeling these little pieces will become so very popular. Mark my words And for those of you who didn’t know, we call them NOEUD PAPILLION in french (butterfly ties) cute no?
I love this look, it’s stunning. If only I could find a “good” excuse to get myself one, I would.
I personally ♥ the black tulle skirt one. Would this be good for a wedding? Hmmm… because I do have one coming up in September.
