Happy "mum" day!


I just had my first international sales event in the UK and loved this little write up they gave Ollie & Bess...

Ollie & Bess

Refined styles. After struggling to find traditional children’s wear made from quality fabrics, mum Susan Grimberg decided to tackle the problem herself. She uses cotton and corduroy to produce picture-perfect patterns and designs. Ideal for special occasions or maybe a visit to the grandparents, these are the kinds of styles that will easily outlast passing trends.

One of my favorite places in London was the Victoria Albert museum, check out these vitage handbags & shoes that were on display during my visit!  

Kelly Green and Polka Dots

Its planning time for spring 2013 and I since I'm hooked on the classic kids styles of my youth I decided to dig through some old pictures.  These are my favorite from the box - the first is me on the beach when I was about 4.  I just love the polka dots on the kelly green fabric and the navy boat!  The way it ties under the arm is supper cute, wonder if it drove me crazy?  I'm definitely going to use some elements from this little suit in my line for spring!  Of course I love the navy & green!

The second picture is of my mom, can you guess what year it is?  1975!  I'm just loving this look, and am seeing it again everywhere.  Ollie & Bess head wraps - hmmm, I'm not sure I see those coming, but just loved the photo!
