Petit Bateau

by Sofia   -   in Good things for kids  Shopping

Ihania perusjuttuja Petit Bateaulta tälle kesälle. Varsinkin alusvaatteet ja t-paidat ovat meidän ihan suosikkeja, niin pehmeitä ja kestävät uuden näköisinä pesusta toiseen. Tämä merkki on yksi omista suosikeistani vuodesta toiseen!

You all know that Petit Bateau is one of my favourite brands. As a child I used to have my underwear and t-shirts from them and have been happy to keep the tradition going. The quality is fantastic year after year and I love how their styles are such classics I can always find something I love there. They have a little girly and a lot sporty and fresh. If I had a boy I´m pretty sure it would be my number one destination for shopping then too. Here are some new cute basics I bought for the girls from the French Riviera.

This dress is heaven. It´s the summer dress to have!

We have a stack of the white basic t-shirts in both long & short sleeve but these are a favourite of the girls. Luckily they come in a two pack as my girls wear the same size and one´s favourite colour is turquoise and one´s is pink.

Happy thoughts

by Sofia   -   in Random

Did you have a good week? I feel like I have done nothing but worked worked worked this week and I´m really looking forward to a midsummer break ( and the looming Summer vacation on the island!).  

But work is not an unhappy thought! Last Friday I had some time off in London for a night so I got to visit my dear friend´s incredibly gorgeous home. Her pantry ( amongst many other things in that house) is a happy thought. It was gorgeous and I´m so dreaming of having one too. Lucky friend! I´m also very thankful for having found new friends as an adult. I love all my friends and those you have had your whole life are obviously very important as you share a lot of history and there is a reason they are still your friends ( like love and the fact they are the most awesome people in the whole wide world) but the ones I have found later in life share many interests and a similar taste & style with me. All kinds of friends are very important and a constant happy thought to me in my life!

A friend got a little birthday present from me ( she loves organising maybe even more than I do if that´s possible). I love wrapping presents ( as you know). These wrapping papers, the gift & the card are from Riffle Paper Co. and the ribbon is from a very special ribbon shop in Singapore.

Salmon salad with a wasabi dressing

by Sofia   -   in Cooking

I wrote to you about this fantastic salad I had for lunch last week and I thought why not try to make it over the weekend. Then I thought if I´m making it and it turns out ok you might also want to try it. It´s such an easy and simple salad. If you ever cook Japanese dishes in your kitchen you probably have all the ingredients already. If not you can most likely find them in your closest grocery store.
