Green is also a color!
When we hear or read the word GREEN, we immediately think about sustainability,
recycling and being very kind to our beautiful planet!
Which is really great! The first thing we think about…
It should be…
But… GREEN is also a COLOR…
A beautiful one… In so many different shades.
it’s dazzling…
We love all sorts of green colors together…
So we’ve made you some inspiration on pinterest.
Green boys style!
And if we only use eco-friendly products,
then GREEN will be more then just
a beautiful color!

new california style
With all the rainshowers here we’re dreaming about California or Hawaii…
So the photography of Shaka Muchacha,
this year’s summer collection of
Mini & Maximus,
with all the beautiful colors, sun and inspiring clothes,
triggers us to say something about this
incredibly cool and unique brand.
We know we’re not the first ‘fans’ that are writing about them…,
but that’s not what we’re after…
Contemporary prints are the main character of their designs.
The secret, we think, is the collaboration with artists,
well-known or up-coming and yes yes… also kids!
It makes their collections cohesive and very unique.
What really charmed us are the tees for kids BY KIDS
Incredibly cool what a five-or six-year-old can draw…
They have such a creative spirit and have no boundaries in creation.
Mini & Maximus got a great philosophy about that
and is very inspired by the authenticity of kids.
With this they’ve created more then just clothes…
The little artists create prints which are used in the designs.
The ‘grown-up’ artists deliver even art which is, lucky for us,
available as prints on paper.
Hopefully we can also buy the kids-art soon on paper too!
The photography is a big eyecather. Something we can especially appreciate.
We love sun, skateboarding and photography! And the models are all cool individuals.
We know that even with wearing all these creative cool designs…
we’re not living this Californian lifestyle,
but at least we think we are and getting closer to the feeling… even in the rain!
And by the way, they’re eco-friendly!

Cool storage!
Paperbags from Merci and Kolor are our new storage friends.
To tidy up the house, which sometimes looks more like a warehouse of toys
and clutter for boys, then a family home…, it’s a big help!
And a really nice budget and ec0-friendly gift (for parents…).
Have a cool weekend!

A ‘sneak preview’ modern fairytale by Noch Mini N.Y.C.!
In Paris I’ve met a wonderful ‘incredibly friendly’ designers couple from NYC with their brand Noch Mini. Designing beautiful contemporary organic childrens wear.
This FW13-collection feels like a modern fairytale to me…, in coloring, coolness and fabrics. At that time I couldn’t tell if it was for boys or girls. Which I think is brilliant and much more interesting for the modern parent.
The quality of the fabrics are so beautiful and rich. And the designs being 100% organic, makes it even better! Comfortable to wear for our kids, very stylish for the parents and really friendly for our planet, makes the brand getting more ‘coolheads-stars’.
The color and print inspiration of this collection came from Egon Schiele’s ‘Houses with laundry’ painting. Which I think is such a modern piece of art, a cityscape, painted almost 100 years ago.
Triangular motif from roof shape was part of their graphic and quilt pattern.
The Cool Heads are really happy to found this cool brand, which surprised us, as I keep repeating over and over again. And the pictures of photographer Emily J. Anderson plus the coolest girl (yes! yes!) in the pictures in combination with the great designs of her mum and dad (yes! yes!) makes it for me ‘this perfect modern NYC fairytale’.
We keep you posted about this brand and when it’s available online. You have to wait a little while though… First enjoying summer… But it’s worth waiting for!
Check their Facebook-page, to see much more of this collection. There is a shirt from which I think will be a big hit and all the -stylish-cool-heads-boys- want…! ; )

Tetris in wool!
In Paris I met Maya Bekto, one of the owners of Wool Fabrique. In ‘her shop’ at Playtime Paris, she was surrounded by all beautiful woolen products. All looked very firm but felt really natural. The TETRIS version carpet from real wool was the one we wanted to take home immediately! A real wannahave for mums and dads who’ve played this game over a thousand times, back in the days. And what I really like is that they’ve also made baskets out of these carpets… and cubes and bags. So really cool to store all the tons of toys in.
Besides that, it’s eco friendly which is a big plus for us! Made in Bosnia, where her sister & co-owner is arranging the production. They continue the tradition of weaving which was always present in that region. With ecologic and organic farming they hope to contribute to smart growth and sustainable living in that country. I think they’re doing really well! Best of both worlds!

DIY Godzilla Tee from Mini Rodini
DIY tee’s are the best invented piece of clothing for us. Mini Rodini is making us very happy. They made this cool Godzilla Tee, which each kid can make very personal. It’s your own ‘colour-writing’. How cool that is!
p.s. … with a Global Organic Textile Standard. That’s a big plus! Mini Rodini loves nature! And so do we!
