ma petite boutique

robe_verte
this is a bit of a departure from what i normally post, but i was completely taken with french artist barbara berrada’s work. barbara creates beautiful clothing, toys and decorations for children and their rooms and i find myself wanting to either reverse my age back to 10 or suddenly find myself living in france with a small child that needed to be dressed up and have their room designed. each of these pieces is so sweet and thoughtful- i just love them. sometimes words fail me and this is a perfect example- i think barbara’s work has such a cohesive look and feel to it- down to the styling of the shots. i’m hooked. click here to see more of her work online, and here to read her beautifully shot blog.

Somewhere between my youth with a stylish hungarian god grandmother and daydreams in high school french class – i definitely dreamed of Barbara Barrada! Great discovery and sooo inspirational. Thanks Grace & BB!

I hope when I have kids I become a super sewer and I make them cute dresses like the one at the top.

I used to have a velvetine doggy just like velvet only it was supposed to be a pin cushion. I couldn’t bear that he would be used for such awful torment so I rescued him and brought him home to sleep with me on my pillow. I think Violette would be a lovely female companion for him. ;)

I love the cream and red outfit and the orange polka-dot shirt. Why are such gender-neutral children’s clothes so hard to find in the U.S.?
