Black is the new pink...

I love seeing babies, especially girls, wearing black.

Ivy wearing a black and white polka dot bandana from Funky Giraffe Bibs UK. Her black and white striped leggings are from the Gap and were found at the Cowanation street sale in Parkdale (Sat. May 28th! Hells yeah) .

Ivy in a black shirt, looking like a Russian mobster, in her passport photo.

I came across Montreal clothing designer Yana Gorbulsky's creations on Etsy this morning.  I love her consistant use of black in her designs and in the styling of the shots of her clothing. And who can resist that foxy print?

Bye for now...

P.S. thanks to all who gave me "silver fox" love and encouragement....

Marimekko baby and kids and vintage Marimekko

While looking for inspiration for how I can photograph my vintage baby and kiddie collection for my upcoming Etsy debut,  I came across a post about the new Spring/Summer 2012 Marimekko kids collection on the very pretty blog Bird and Banner.  I am going bonkers for the bold colours and patterns!

Check out blog post I wrote back in the summer about the Marimekko factory. 

I couldn't help but post some images of vintage Marimekko...

Image from a great blog post on the Burda Style blog about the beginnings of Marimekko and about how Jackie O strategically wore Marimekko dresses to to her image of a more sophisticated "everywoman".

The following images are gathered from other blogs. I'm not sure where they come from.
