It’s that day again ; )
What is it with Monday’s?
Is it the start of a new week?
Or did we loved the weekend so much…?
Or do we have a heavy duty week ahead of us…?
If you have a boring job, then we can imagine,
but if you love what you do…
Monday’s can just be a FRESH HAPPY START of the week!
Anyway, it’s up to you what you make out of it.
HAPPY MONDAY Y’ALL!

Brilliance no.4
Stunning colors, Bowie and Circus vibe…, very high-end.
And a beauty of a model with his incredibly COOL red hair and freckles…
Absolutely brilliant!
This gorgeous image is from
Swedish photographer Karolina Henke.
She made this one for inspiring La Petite Mag.
Her images are always like a contemporary fairytale.
Very strong! It seems to be that’s her specialty.
Her unique ability to direct her models
into strong personal expressions.
WE WANT MORE!

NYC sunshine swag!
THE SUN IS SHINING…
Agatha Cub… from NYC!
COOL TO THE MAX!
Creative director, lovely Bianca Reis,
is the creator behind this beautiful refined cool brand.
Launched in 2013 already!
With two cool dudes [ her nephews ]
as her inspiration and her background in fashion
she has created a gorgeous, very contemporary and fashionable style.
With a very ‘own identity’.
High quality, sustainable and ethically made.
We can blabla about all the details,
but we think with just taking a closer look,
it says more then words does.
It’s so beautifully well-made!
Inside and outside have different prints.
Typical AC!
Today, their Spring Summer 16 collection
‘BOTANICALS’ is launching as you’ve just found out ; )
Taking a look at the stunning shots.
Beautiful, VERY COOL & a big wanna have…
Every item is strong and unique, because of,
for sure, the amazing prints and strong forms.
So if you wear just a piece of AC with a basic,
the boys will still shine big time!
Button down’s, sweaters, comfy pants and shorts.
The longer tees with different prints are already a favourite.
But actually we can’t choose…
From the ‘bunny black’ we want it all!
Available in all the cool stores from today on!
Like a few of our favourites,
where you can actually try it on;
Charlotte’s KID Antwerp and Anne’s TINY store Berlin
Dream with us about SPRING & SUMMER,
go and check the whole collection.
Sold out in a bit, is our prediction ; )
HAVE A WONDERFUL SUNNY DAY!
All images are from Agatha Cub’s lookbook.
p.s. We always try to show you just the dudes-stuff,
but how can we not show you the girls in their coolest outfits?
So just a glimpse, because we can’t resist!
P.S. BIANCA, YOU’RE A ROCKSTAR!

Brillance!
… take a closer look…
[ black & white photography ]
A few weeks ago we were in Paris for the KID-SHOWS…
and bumped into the very COOL MISS Michelle Marshall.
How lucky we are!
The London based photographer
to whom we will give a compliment,
almost every (two) week (s) on IG… haha!
But never had the chance to meet her in real life…
Big laugh about it, when we finally did meet.
Conclusion after this meet & greet;
Very talented photographer, very stylish miss and lovely to talk to.
An inspiring lady. More to come…
For now we would like you to take a closer look
at #brilliance no.3!
Little cool details makes it big!
Her work is the example of that.
Very fashion, street style
and very minimalistic.
It’s about the face, the personality…
This portrait of model Conor for Named Models,
to us, gives innocence, silence
and yet an incredibly strong personality in one image.
Being very cool in his NIKE sweater… (we looovvveee)
As both contemporary and timeless, as it can be.
Have a wonderful lovely weekend y’all!

Happy new ‘long ears’ museum!
NIJNTJE [in dutch], MIFFY [in english]
is the worldwide well known character of
world famous artist Dick Bruna (1927).
Originally created in 1955, when entertaining his son,
by drawing some characters…
We think all generations
are very familiar with her at some point.
Last year the brilliant work of Dick Bruna was curated
to be in the permanent collection of the Rijksmuseum.
And before that, there was the Dick Bruna
Home in Central Museum Utrecht.
Awesomeness to the max we think…
…but…
It’s getting better!
From tomorrow on, there will be the
MIFFY MUSEUM!
[NIJNTJE MUSEUM]
A place where toddlers and pre-schoolers
can experience the Miffy world,
and use their own imagination…
to play, crawl, explore, sniff, dance,
experience, create and have fun.
Like Dick Bruna’s philosophy.
Find out about his brilliant icon, Miffy!
… at this ‘brand new museum’.
So very worth to pay a visit!
If you love the long ‘archetype’ ears…,
obviously ; )
ENJOY BIG TIME!
The A is for AWESOME!
SUNSHINE…!!!
Our lovely friends from WOLF & RITA
won a very well deserved ‘MILK AWARD’ last week.
HIP HIP HOORAYYY!!!
This cool award from MILK MAGAZINE,
at kids fair PLAYTIME PARIS, is for ‘best fashion AW16’.
Their collection is stunninggg…!
The fabrics are so rich as in material.
So inspiring as in design.
Their designs are really one of a kind.
Refined in details.
Almost Haute Couture,
but in a fashionable and very wearable way.
And in between they’ve launched a big surprise,
a baby collection AW16.
Boy oh boy… We fell in love…
Knitted pants in camel with pompoms… Melting here!
It must be influenced by Claudia,
one of the sisters, who became a mum last year.
Unfortunately we can’t show you these beauties yet…
#bigsecret #youhavetowaituntiljuly ; )
…
But, today we can show you some beauty
for #springsummer16…
Called “Bonjour Jeunesse”.
A little hommage to the thrilling European film history
and to an amazing group of influential artists.
French New Wave rocks!
Black & White, stripes, lovelyyyyyy shirts
and onesies for the big boys.
Comfortable pants, graphic prints.
Check the back of the white denim sleeveless vest.
You can see the names of their inspirational artists.
LOVE!!!
You can find the entire new collection at the designers!
With the most gorgeous girls styles too!
There’s also a big list of stores,
who will sell these collections.
We know for sure it’s available in your country.
And if not, there’s always online shopping worldwide.
You won’t regret it!
Whoop whoop!
Looking forward to some sunshine right now,
where the boys can shine in style!
Enjoy a wonderful day!

Please don’t!
This is a shout out to all of our COOL friends in the business.
COOL as in ‘the inside’…
They need some support!
In PUBLIC ENEMY‘s words:
“DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE!’
It is something which comes up into our mind all the time lately.
Conversations with unique people, true influencers, artists, designers…
We talk about one thing… THE HYPE…
What’s cool and what’s not…
Actually, we don’t like ‘NOT’…
It feels negative and a waste of energy…
But for
THE MAKERS, THE MOVERS & THE SHAKERS
it can be very frustrating to see all the copying,
in the kids-branding-art-design-world.
Who’s hot or not (THE HYPE)
And all about followers.
Which comes from the commercial-side.
For us that is a bit of a shallow-thought…
There are so many incredibly talented artists,
designers, photographers, agents
& last but, for sure, not least, the mums.
Some people just started or don’t have a lot with social media.
That doesn’t say ‘anything’ about their talent. Or what they’re capable of.
Although we have to say that there are many many COOL people
with loads of followers who are truly talented… obviously!!!!
No doubt about that. For them it can be very annoying too!
They’ve started somewhere too… It’s hard work you know…
For those who run after all the hype’s
Just OPEN YOUR EYES, TAKE A GOOD LOOK,
EXPLORE A BIT…
you will find out there’s a beautiful true world…
Where creative people are human beings without a marketing machine.
They don’t want to shine, they don’t have a big ego.
They have loads of doubts…
but
they just want to create.
And you, you will find you, your true self.
That’s the best gift!
We don’t need an army of the same looking people (from the outside).
The world will be better with unique people.
Who will choose themselves and feel good about that!
So,
(NEW YOU),
support
THE MAKERS
THE MOVERS
AND THE SHAKERS!
They are the true inspiration.
Last but not least,
the moment of exploration starts with
this brilliant OLDSKOOL coolness
of the dudes of Public Enemy…

Baby it’s cold outside…
The North-east of our country is changed in one big ice-skating rink.
Very dangerous on the road, but awesome for the local kids.
No school, just fun!
They can ice-skate on the streets. How awesome!
It’s very necessary to wear warm gear…
And drink hot chocolate…
So get inspired;
coolHEADS, jacket men, yummy yummy and
this awesome GOGO’S CHOP SHOP wanna have!
Your new BFF! ; )

MAKE 2016 AWESOME…!
