Shan and Toad, the Charming Childrenswear Boutique

 

Inspired by her three little daughters, Shana Laub turned her passion for shopping into her Jerusalem-based children’s boutique Shan and Toad.  And what a passion!

Drawing inspiration from the children themselves and keeping in mind her style-conscious clientele, Shan and Toad presents select brands that are refined yet unusual, classic yet contemporary and always elegant, chic and of the finest craftsmanship.

You’ll find a incredible range of styles and pieces for every occasion: from accessories to sleepwear, casualwear to mini-me children’s couture.

Have a look at some of the brands and you’ll see what we mean!

BOBO CHOSES

The new SS13 collection offers simple and comfy shapes, friendly designs and carefully selected colors.

T-shirts, tanks, sundresses, shorts, and knitwear—boys and girls alike will feel free to play in comfort and style (because a comfortable kid is a happy kid)!

JUNIOR GAULTIER

Keeping with the Gaultier style, Junior Gaultier mixes sophisticated elegance with urban energy. Vibrant purples and pinks, nautical inspirations, clean lines and fun prints complete the line.  

Definitely the coolest kids on the block!

LITTLE MARC JACOBS

A casual and colorful line of childrenswear for boys and girls 0-12 years old, LMJ takes inspiration from the Marc Jacobs adult collections while keeping the line fun and bold with mini-me pieces and quirky touches.

PALE CLOUD

An absolutely fabulous and elegant line of girlswear, Pale Cloud takes 1960’s influences and transforms evening glamour into everyday pieces.

Sumptuous fabrics, beautiful tailoring and leather and stud detailing are found throughout this collection.  Truly incredible design and style!   

ROKSANDA ILINCIC “BLOSSOM”

An exciting new addition to the Roksanda label, the new Blossom childrenswear range was launched in June 2012 and has artfully combined playful ruffles and color-blocking since then.

Fun and free-spirited, Blossom dresses are absolutely adorable!

SOFT GALLERY

The SS13 children’s collection “PURE” of this Danish fashion brand takes contrasts to the max: innocent and playful/structured and disciplined. 

You’ll find soft color palettes with bold prints that highlight these elegant casualwear pieces.  We love the light pinks, blue-greens and grays that create beautiful color combinations to mix and match.

Biowolk - Colorful basics that take care of your child

Mychildworld is a place where moms (and dads obviously too!) meet and discover items they love for their children.
This week we have discovered this super cute brand from Holland called Biowolk, that makes colourful basics for our babies and children with organic materials. Biowolk believes that fashion and environmental responsibility can go together hand in hand. Have a look at the amazing results of this policy!

Super fun collections made from 100% organic cotton  in compliance with GOTS (Global organic textile standard) . It is not only the best for the delicate child's skin, but it's the best choice for the world we live in.


Biowolk is very sensitive to nature and even the name is connected to it. The word "wolk" means "cloud" in Dutch and "wolf" in Russian, both parts of the nature as at Biowolk  love being close to.   Everything they do, in fact,  is with respect and care for the environment. 
But Biowolk is more than that...it's comfort and attention to our kids' needs and characteristics! The clothing is pure and free from all kinds of harmful substances. For our children we are sure that they use only non-toxic low-impact dyes. 
They use very soft yet very durable cotton, which is tender for delicate skin, but will not lose its appearance after intensive play in the garden and many washing cycles.
The baby bodies, jumpsuits, shirts and dresses are made to fit the child's growing body without causing any restriction to movement. The result is fantastic....and never ending! 
You can have find Biowolk on our pinterest boards too: MCW - Home style for boys and girls and MCW - Baby underwear 


Did we mention that they deliver worldwide? No? Shame on us!

DE VRIES - Vintage shoes for stylish children

Do you miss this kind of shoes? The ones we used to wear in our childhood? 

Old style, time- and play-resistant, perfect with every outfit and comfortable? I do miss them a lot and I discovered my child (and all the children at MyChildWorld)can have them thanks to De Vries.

We at MyChildWorld were browsing among the brands present at the Kleine Fabriek in Amsterdam when we stumbled upon this jewels. Have a look at some of their hits.

DE VRIES is a dutch brand which started out two years ago. They realized that there were hardly any children shoes without the extra zippers and buttons and that bright colors were "out of stock". 

So they decided to design affordable basic-shoes for boys and girls (NR.0-sandals till NR.9-boots - The printed numbers make these shoes a unique work of art!) that would match each outfit. How could they not succeed with shoes of such an excellent quality at a fair price? And they succeeded indeed!

This retro/vintage shoes are produced in Portugal (worldwide known for the high quality of its shoes'production), sold in each big city in the Netherlands and obviously online. We at MyChildWorld are proud to showcase them soon in our social shopping platform as we are very big fans of DE VRIES. 

You can have a look at other DE VRIES' shoes and boots in our Pinterest boards: MCW - Girls' shoes, MCW - Boys' shoes and MCW - Children's boots.

DE VRIES delivers worldwide and we, moms and dads, hope that they will soon produce adults' shoes as well. How great would be a matching moms/dads and children collection? Can't wait!

Yporque - playful clothes to have fun with!

We, from Mychildworld, are starting soon to visit the best trade shows worldwide for children, in order to find the best brands for moms and children. One of the biggest trade shows is Playtime Paris with more than 400 brands for children's clothing, accessories, toys and furniture. Checking on these brands we discovered Yporquè and we immediately decided: this is a must have!

Change yourself in a superhero with cape, in a bat with wings, in a man with mustaches or in a ninja. Or you can play guitar (for real: these are t-shirts with sound!) or listen to your bike roar!

Yporque is a spanish brand which delivers usually in Europe but is able as well to ship worldwide.

New furniture for your child's room - Baby & Child

Lately me and my girlfriends seem to have all the same plan: change the furniture in our children's rooms. Some of us has a girl, some other a boy, some two or more children. So yesterday we sat down around a tea table confronting our discoveries and I fell in love with this brand: Baby&Child - Restoration Hardware

They have everything moms and children are dreaming of! Nurseries, bedroom and playroom: ask for an item, a color, a material, a style - they have it! From toddlers to teenagers you can find furniture, bedding, decorations, accessories,  lighting, rugs and much more (like bath items).

But there is a flaw: they don't have shops in Europe and don't deliver to European countries! So dear people of Baby & Child, I am writing you on behalf of all future customers of MYCHILDWORLD: open a chain in Europe and make every European mom and child free to assault your shops and buy all these lovely items!

You can find more of their items in this MCW- Boys' room on Pinterest.

Have a look and let us know which item you would pick up for your child's room!

Paloma's nest: handmade love for children and parents

I discovered Paloma's nest through Twitter (@palomasnest) and I immediately fell in love with their products! All their products are handmade and they have several collections: wedding, children and holidays. 

Let's focus on the Children Collection.

My favourite item is the children's neighbourhood chair which comes in three different versions: colonial, victorian and modern but each of them is genius! A chair which can be used: as chair (sic), as doll's/toys's house and as table. Perfect for reading, playing, having a snack. It is entirely handcrafted of eco-friendly, non-toxic birch plywood as the product below.

And what about this set of table and chairs? The Menagerie Collection is a entire jungle full of adventure! A tree table and giraffes and elephants as chairs. All edges are rounded smooth and joints are secured with wooden biscuits. Each item is sold separately.

In the Child Collection you can find incredibly cute ornaments like this customised baby keepsake bowl. It is stamped with baby's name and birthday. Handmade of white clay with a matte finish.

For the rest of this collection and of the others check on their website or on their Etsy shop.

They sell and ship worldwide (so if you order now, you are going to have the most amazing Christmas gifts this year!) and I hope they will be soon part of the sellers on our social shopping platform for mums and children.

Sleeping bags for children: help!

My child doesn't get along very well with bed covers!

I mean, she sleeps on a side of the bed and the covers lay on the opposite one. I stand up in the night to cover her up because she sneezes. Obviously, during her night dance-sessions, her pajama moved up to her neck and her belly is naked and cold.

So, while not sleeping, worrying that she gets sick, I had a brilliant idea (I thought, at least): a sleeping bag.

And then I started looking on the internet and I realized it wasn't such a good idea. Do you know why? Because sleeping bags are for babies. Max age 2 years. I could have a second child just to buy this lovely sleeping bag from Smallable (pic 1) but actually my child is 5!

But I didn't give up and I searched in e-shops specialized with outdoor items. Disaster! Do you have a clue how ugly camping sleeping bags are? They are really not the kind of stuff a 5 years old girl falls in love with.

But then I discovered that they look so awful just in Italy because actually in the UK and in America there are tons of lovely camping bags for girls and boys (like in this website, or in picture 2 and picture 3). The only problem is, they don't deliver outside their own countries.

So, here I am, still looking for a nice sleeping bag for my girl in Italy or in Europe. Any suggestion?

Fall fashion - Il gufo

Fall is here and I can't wait to go out with my little girl and buy her this fur vest and these grey dresses by Il Gufo. If I had a boy I would buy immediately this brown coat: so charming!

Il Gufo is an Italian brand for children and I love their philosophy "Chidren dressed as children". The quality is amazing and the style unique.

You can buy their clothes online or in the best children boutiques worldwide.

I will post a picture soon of Rebecca wearing the vest. If I could only find one for me as well...
