Cool kiddie shops in Oslo don´t exactly grow on trees, so when a new one opens I pretty much jump up and down with excitement... Jungelens Leker offers something new and special, a great mix of clothes, wooden toys and cool deco items. When it comes to clothes, they carry some of my favorite brands like Oeuf NYC, Bobo Choses, Bonton and Swedish Garbo&Friends (we also got our crib from this shop). Jungelens Leker is well worth a visit if you want something a bit more unique and special. 

You will find them on Industrigata 47 in Oslo.

I'm in love with these pictures from Kidscase spring/summer campaign. The mood is just so real and honest. Both L and LJ have pieces from this brand and it's stuff that you really do use, for every occasion. Kidscase is also an honest company, they cooperate with factories that work with respect for their people and for the planet. About 70% of each collection is made of organic cotton, 50% is certified and made under humane working conditions. You can find Kidscase collections in leading department stores and kid’s shops all over the world, they also have a webshop.

We had the best weekend, warm weather and all fun and games for a certain little girl. We are so lucky we have friends with houses and gardens and we spent the whole Saturday outside with BFF Stella. Ok, I admit that we watched a little bit of the Swedish Royal Wedding as well... Thanks for having us!

We got the sweetest package this week all the way from Berlin. German brand Noé & Zoë does bright and colourful the best, I have been a fan of their clean cut design and neon pattern for a while!. L fell in love with the dotted tee and I adore the stripy pants and star-sweater for baby boy, perfect for summer!...might have to check out that web shop again...

Thanks to Nici & Nadine for sending us these cool clothes!

I'm dying to go and visit this little shop in Como, Italy!. We are big fans of Italy in this house so maybe one day I will, until then it will have to do with lovely Maddalena's (the owner) Instagram pics. She let me share a few here on the blog, a fun way to show the both the shop and all the different brands and outfits. Don't miss out on the great sponsor code Brebí offer my readers!. 25% off all the "NEW IN". Just use the code spring. It's valid from Friday until Monday the 10th. Go crazy!.

When did you start Brebí Little Concept store? The website was launched in September 2011, while the actual Brebí Little Concept store opened one month later!. It was a completely new world for me after my previous job (working at italian Glamour as a stylist) but I have loved it from the start and are very passionate about this, finally i'm doing something on my own!.
What brands do you carry? We carry mainly fashion and accessories but some toys and decor for babies as well. Our current favorite brands are Bobo Choses, Poppy Rose, Violeta e Federico, Atsuyo et Akiko, Gold Belgium, Imps&Elfs and Maileg. Next season we will introduce 3 new brands (one french, one american and one spanish). I love to discover new brands and especially the ones that are not that known here in Italy.
Your favorite item/items in the shop this summer? My favorite item of the season is this cute look from Violeta e Federico (picture 6). I love liberty prints, and I adore the colors and the linen bloomers are just perfect for a hot summers day. I also adore everything from the Bobo Choses collection, which I think is great for little boys, this whole collection is just so much fun!.

We finally have a name, say hello to Levi Jonah Cartmell!. This guy just turned 6 weeks old, and he is the most precious thing ever... He eats and sleeps alot (like they do...) and just started to give us the biggest smiles!. One look at him and you almost forget about the late nights...almost.

I ordered a couple of things from NYC brand TANE Organics a while back, it's truly one of my favorite baby brands when it comes to soft organic basics. Everything is so soft and delicate. The gray blanket is something we use everyday and I love the short sleeved kimono onesies, very easy to dress and undress. LOVE!.

April and May have been quite eventful (to say the least). Baby boy was born April 23 and has changed our life. Our little girl became a responsible big sister (or getting there...). A lot of sleepless nights and a very messy apartment (learning not to freak out about that). Building our summer house in Sweden and getting it ready for the summer vacation. And finally mysef and dear colleague Steffen, and our client Cathrine from OBOS, winning GOLD at Visuelt for best editorial. Yay, go Teft.

A little late post from our weekend: warm weather and family time. The best!. We headed out to the marina where we keep our boat, it's a tiny island just outside of city center. L loves it here, she can run around in her life jacket and explore...grown-ups can enjoy yummie food and the best view in Oslo.
