Dinos, Bugs & Butterflies




Will you just take a look at those dinosaurs! Cute with a capital C!
Biome Lifestyle's handembroidered cushions for boys and girls are fun, colourful and eco-friendly, made under fair trade conditions in South Africa. 100% linen and cotton, sustainable and stylish, Biome Lifestyle " is a small company, trying to do the right thing". Looks spot on to me!

Une Sardine A Rio

I spotted Justine's beautiful Made in Brazil baby kits when she launched Une Sardine A Rio in February, and I had a feeling that we'd been hearing a lot about this children's clothes label in 2010. I wasn't wrong. This little sardine has got everything it takes to swim with the big fish if its new collection is anything to go by.




Inspired by family trips to Brazil and other lands, Une Sardine A Rio is a 100% organic and fairtrade label based in the south of France. Justine believes very strongly that children's clothes can be beautiful, comfy, practical (some are one-size-fits-all) and respect the environment. Her new Brazilian photo series skirts, printed on cotton satin with water-based pigments, are a perfect example of her "style with a conscience" philosophy, and I love them!

Une Sardine A Rio is offering 20% discount on its new collection throughout June.
I can see myself wearing one of those Selaron skirts, can't you?

Justine has a bilingual French / English blog and is currently translating her shop site too.
