baby style file loves...illustrated rugs

Thursday, May 17, 2012 • , , , , , •

if you're after a children's rug that appeals to kids but isn't too sickly sweet then these illustrated ones might be just the thing...the strong colours, bold graphics and asymmetric designs prevent them from looking too cutesy.

baby style file loves...colourful organic muslins

Tuesday, May 15, 2012 • , , , , , , , , , •

muslins (much like baby wipes) are one of the things that you'll wonder how you ever managed without pre-baby. so many functions for such a simple thing; blanket, comforter, portable playmat, sick wiper-upper, towel, bib, sunshade, (i could go on but i'm guessing you get my point) they're awesome things. these lovely ones are not only made from organic cotton but they also come in a brilliant range of colours...

if you want to do pretty without too much of the saccharine then these lights are perfect - industrial looking shades with a contrasting cable...that'll do nicely thank you very much.

if you're in need of a few party tricks or perhaps a bit of rainy day entertainment these clever balloons come with instructions printed on them telling you where to twist and shape them in order to fashion your very own rabbit, poodle or indeed a snake...(no other requests will be taken unless your kid wants a worm or a stick)

baby style file loves...white fluffy clouds (and sleep!)

Tuesday, May 08, 2012 • , , , , •

yes, yes, it's nice that the days are longer and that the sun is making an appearance (from time to time) but honestly kids...just because it's light outside does not mean that it's getting up time! time to invest in a decent black out blind (with a lovely swedish print, obviously)...

baby style file loves...a finishing touch

Friday, May 04, 2012 • , , , , , , , , •

sometimes a pot of paint, a new knob (and quite a lot of elbow grease) is all it takes to turn something a bit yucky into something rather lovely. these drawer knobs are a pleasing size, come in great colours and oh yes...my obsession with plywood is satisfied too....

baby style file loves...feeding time

Thursday, May 03, 2012 • , , , , •

the whole process of weaning is a funny old thing, from the 'are you actually trying to poison me face' your baby pulls when you introduce them to something new, to the realisation that most of the food you've carefully steamed, pureed and served is going to end up on and around rather than in the baby. still, it's nice to find a nicely designed spoon suitable for the job...
