Mothers Day
by Sofia - in Random
Mothers Day is fast approaching. Here is a post you can forward to your family for a great wishlist. Just kidding…ish.
On my dream list for mothers day are…
This rattan tray with scalloped edges to bring me breakfast in bed with. Love! Besides it would be cute left out in the kitchen counter so I would not even need to find a spot for it in my cupboards. I would perhaps use it as a lovely tea tray to host my tea pot, a few lovely tea jars, some honey etc.
Would I say no to a cashmere sweater? I like a simple one for the summer. They are great with slim white pants or shorts and even with summer skirts. I’m actually swooning over the navy one. I had it in my hands at J Crew in New York last week but I decided I must go through y cashmere closet first to see if I have the space ( I do have the need but just for a navy one). This style comes in all the colors. Cream is also dreamy as is the lighter blue. I actually like to even throw a light cashmere sweater on my swimsuit when the wind picks up. Nothing beats a good old classic. You can just add some shorts and wrap a lovely silk scarf plus wear your sunnies for a chic outfit to the pool bar lunch in the shade.
Did someone say I could have coffee in bed. From this cup? Oh fine I’ll do it. Just this once…every day. Love it! You can bring it to me on that rattan tray and I’ll wear my new cashmere jumper on my shoulders to upgrade my cute pajamas to look like an outfit.
What pjs you ask. Well the Gauhar ones obviously. These are a new favourite. Great as a gift too.
Do we need a book option for our gift guide. Yes we do! I have this one on the way as who would say no to that cover? But I also have this book on my wish list.
There you are, feel free to forward to the people who need to see these very important ideas. Also I am honestly very happy with a home made card and a gift card to a spa executed by my girls.
Have a lovely day!

Summer dresses
by Sofia - in Random
My girls are getting bigger and bigger every day. Gone are the days of smocked dresses & Peter Pan collars, even for my 10 year old. It’s is quite honestly killing me a little. But luckily they do still love pretty clothes and we scout for the ones they like together. This time we found the loveliest summer dresses for them at Cyrillus. They come up to size 14 & 16 in many styles which I love. I thought I’d share these dresses very much approved by my 12 & 10 year olds. I can imagine they will wear them with either sandals, their espadrilles or the white Converse they just got for the Spring & Summer season from they Easter baskets.
Bubble Gum chose this pretty dress that has a lovely cut in the back. It reminds me of a dress I had as a child.
This dress was Cotton Candy’s choose and I think it will look stunning as she has that ethereal fairy like look.
Now we can start dreaming of all the flower crowns and summer nights. Perhaps they’ll wear them for Mothers Day. We have a few pretty dresses from Bonpoint from last season that still fit. I also ordered them some white jeans for the summer and a Petit Bateau marinier ( adult size xs already) as they both love a striped shirt. I think white jeans, Converse & a striped shirt or a white t-shirt is a great look for any age. Jeans must be quite flared for one of them but I don’t mind that look one bit. Very cute!
On top of that I think they will be wearing lots of shorts and tops. Mostly sporty clothes for camp and the island. But I will make sure to get in a few chances to wear all out pretty summer dresses and skirts. I can see them in these white dresses floating around on the island rocks barefooted too. Let’s see if mommy gets to take some pictures with an actual camera and even more so, if I ever get to share any. I do obviously respect their choise on that no matter how much I wish I could share all their cuteness as I’m sure you feel the same way about your children.
I wish you had a relaxing Easter and have a lovely week ahead!

Pienenä muistutuksena, että Sunnuntaina saattaa taas pienet virpojat koputella oven takana. Eli kun ostat viikonlopun namuja niin muista ottaa pari ylimääräistä!
Hyvää viikonloppua!
Sofia
