I love everything about this, the setting, the Instagram feel, the fun tights and sweaters…The knit dress on the toddler girl would look great on my three year old. Their sizes span from 1 month to 14 years.
Have a lovely day,

The British clothing company no added sugar did a fun fall/Halloween shoot in an old house in London. Take a look.
What a fun idea. I wonder who came up with the idea of the geese in the bath tub? I like how the designers combine military coats, with fun striped tights and ruffled dresses. And the costume feathers, beaks, and birds are such fun props.
All pictures taken by fashion photographer Sandra Freij for no added sugar.
Have a spooky day,

This year’s fall collection by Benetton caught my eye because of the pig they used for their photo shoot. My 7 year old Ella LOVES pigs. You might say she is pig obsessed. Take a look.
I’m liking the combination of stripes, stars, neon, and the military boots (taking me way back to my Doc Marten days). Add a little bit of fluff and frills, perfect!
You can find last year’s fall collection here.
Have a great day,

Friends,
the nights are getting cooler here, I have turned off my air conditioner for good, the Balloon Fiesta is in two weeks. You know what that means: fall is close. My favorite time of the year. Growing up in Germany falls were pretty spectacular. And here in New Mexico it is the best season as well. Hooray for boots, sweaters, and apple cider.
The next best thing to the real deal is pinning fall pictures. Here are my favorites.
Have a lovely day,
Sofija

I have been wanting to share the these beautiful serene pictures from Lithuania for some time. The cooler fall weather seems perfect.

This is a new to me children’s designer from Holland. I like how they combine Scandinavian folklore with neon and bright checkers. It all works together.
Reminds me a lot of Oilily. The grey hoodie with the tassels would look so cute on my 5 year old.
Have a colorful day,

Friends,
How was your weekend? Is it getting colder where you live or is it still in the 80’s like in New Mexico? I don’t know why, but every fall I feel like I should be riding my bike. Maybe it is because I rode my bike to school growing up. In my mind bikes, blankets, and hot coffee all go perfectly together. Here are some of my favorite bike pins.
And here is what it would look like if I took my whole crew out for a spin. Impressive, right?
You can find all my bike pins here.
Have a great day,
Sofija

Here is the Boden fall/winter collection. As usual fun, colorful, and comfy, which is exactly why I like them so much. Take a look.
My favorite outfit would be the one top right, the boots, striped tights, yellow dress, and timeless grey cardigan. Toggle coats are my all time favorite.
I usually gravitate towards the toddlers section but they had so many good options for tween and teens, I had to share.
By now I imagine EVERYONE is back to school. For us it is week 4 already. Whew, time flies!
Have a lovely day,

Instagram foodie Samantha Lee made these works of art to encourage her daughter to eat her food.
Seriously, what is going to happen when this child encounters a school cafeteria for the first time?! Horror and disgust. Well, she will probably bring a terrific sack lunch.
Sigh, not even these culinary delights would entice my 9 year old picky eater son…But they would totally work on my girls.
