Hush Now ikat bed linen for kids

I'm more than a little in love with this stripe and ikat combo bed linen for children by brand new Australian bedding label Hush Now. The orange stripes are fresh and look great against the navy ikat design - something very different and stylish for kids' bedrooms.

Hush Now designer Jillian Hefferan has designed a range of children's bed linen and bedroom decor in interesting limited edition colourways including a fun hot pink and black fretwork design, and more muted tones in polka dots too. Bed linen is 100% cotton and all designs include co-ordinating cushions and bunting options to complete the look.

The Hush Now website officially launches on 2nd March 2013, but you can order this design and many others now by contacting Jillian directly through the Facebook page. You can also find out about Hush Now's stall sat various children's markets around Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Thank you Jess for the heads-up!

My Wooden Heart screen-printed tea towels

Whenever I am at the Sunshine Coast, I scout the Eumundi Markets for fun up-and-coming designers. This trip, I loved the cheeky, hand screen-printed tea towels from Tewantin designers My Wooden Heart.

Stylish Kids: Little Mouse Brown

We live near an all-girls high school and on "mufty day" I cringe as a sea of teeny weeny denim cut-off shorts stream across the crosswalk from the train. Tweens and teenagers want to be cool, of course, but there are not many authentic options for their size.

I get excited when I find stylish labels for kids that target that tricky 8-14 years bracket. Australian kids fashion label Little Mouse Brown has done an incredible job of pulling together a chic collection for boys and girls that mixes and matches well with the teen staples (jeans, converse sneakers), and keeps it cool (with nary a short short to be seen).

There are so many items in this collection that I would love for myself. That bat-wing t-shirt dress with cord belt is killer, the carefully placed ruffles, and that great modern check pattern. Love it all.

You can find Little Mouse Brown in the online store and at stockists around Australia and the USA.

Kids Room Ideas: Eulalie's Nursery

Today's beautiful room tour comes to you from North Queensland where stylist Claire (of one claire day) has created a magical nursery for her daughter Eulalie. I love the Turkish caravan feel of Eulalie's room, including ride-on camel! There are so many gorgeous DIY ideas here, from an amazing small owl mural-turned-framed-art to simply changing the hardware on an IKEA chest of drawers. Claire's room inspiration started with the divine vintage green drawers and evolved slowly as she filled the room with things she loves. So inspiring.

Stylish Kids: fINNIGAN fINN

We spend a lot of time on the Sunshine Coast and whenever we are there I always find myself scouring the Eumundi Markets for up-and-coming kids fashion labels. It's where I discovered Humble Bumble, Birikini, Butterscotch Castle, Funky Monkey sock monkeys and my favourite girls clothing label, Wild Bear.

Children's label fINNIGAN fINN is another Eumundi find that I'd love to share with you. fINNIGAN fINN was established in Queensland in 2004 by sisters Deborah and Linda (who has won numerous awards during her 20 years in the fashion industry). The collection includes infantwear, boys and girlswear in sizes 000 to 9.

I've bought two different tights for my girls (see above) that have lasted a number of seasons, and a great quality corduroy tunic (in green above). I particularly like the jeans for both boys and girls, with white stitching detail, tie waist and oversize pockets.

You can find fINNIGAN fINN in the online store, and at the Eumundi Markets, Eumundi, QLD.
