#51 Children's Animal Jackets

A few weeks ago a friend of mine sent me a link to these OH so adorable jackets by Molly Godall of little goodall on etsy.
I love this little green jacket with matching waterproof scarf & the other jackets take the animal hood concept to a whole new delightful level...
They are custom made to fit & are made from either wool blend felt or eco-felt - which is made from 100% post consumer plastic bottles (how cool is that?), finished with a printed cotton lining & vintage buttons. The sleeves are finished with poly lining to make them extra easy to slip on & off over winter layers. Ain't that considerate like?
It's currently available in the forms of a brown fox, a grey fox, a toddler brown & blue bear, a toddler brown & pink bear & last but by no means least, a yellow lion.
This is surely 'that' item, the one that any child lucky enough to own has fond & magical memories of well into adulthood.
Look at those little claws... awww!

 
 

 
I simply can not go past that lion... could it be any more adorable?!
It is pretty cold here you know...

#3 Purebaby

I am a huge fan of Purebaby. HUGE.

Purebaby is an Australian based company who make the most amazing clothes for babies and children using only pure organic cotton.

If you haven't come across them yet I highly recommend you go out of your way to!

A couple of weeks ago and I had a snoop at the 2009 Summer collection and let me tell you, It's a good'n.

Favourite pieces are without a doubt in the Girls 'Highlight' collection this season.

They have quite a vintage feeling influence in my opinion - probably explains in part why I'm loving it quite so much?

Purebaby-Newborn Purebaby-Girls/Highlights

Gorgeous simple and summery dresses, 2 piece sets and little overalls - Luscious light knits - Beautiful woven shorts, shirts, overalls and dresses - Lovely linen - And a sweet nest design on pieces of the newborn range combined with Pure Baby's ever present 'easy necks' and 'kimono' designs add up to make me fall in love with them all over again!

I'm also fairly fond of the alphabet design that's been carried over from last season...

And in a bit of exciting news ( For myself and other Purebaby tragics in any case) there are now 3 new Collections -Essentials, Premi and Bedding.

The Essentials range is excellent.

Purebaby-Premi

Definately recommend finding your local stockist and having a look for yourself, or take advantage of some of the brilliant online specials here.

If I had to pick ONE favourite for this season, I think these adorable shorts would probably come out on top...

How sweet are they??? If only I had a daughter to put in them! Tempting to buy them and put them aside...you know, just in case...
