Spring Picks

Even though this winter has been far from terrible (at least up until this point), I am so ready for spring to arrive. And despite the fact that it's probably still a month or more away, the idea of it makes me want to shop. Below are a few things I'll be picking up for spring (if I haven't already).


I was in New York City this past week and stopped by one of my favourite kids stores, Bonpoint on Bleeker Street. If you are ever in New York, it's definitely worth checking out. It's not for the budget conscious but their stuff is gorgeous. I just had to have these Bensimon shoes for Emi - too cute.



I had the privilege of meeting the Toronto based designer from So Young Mother - the coolest line of cooler and lunch bags. I want to get one for Emi and for myself (maybe that would actually motivate me to finally bring my own lunch to work) and when I eventually get around to having another baby, I am definitely going to get the Charlie diaper bag. This is exactly what I was looking for when I had Emi and couldn't find - simple, functional and plain, neutral colour options!



I recently discovered this Australian line of swimwear called Stella Cove. They have the most amazing array of prints and almost everything is available in a 1 or 2 piece option (they also have some super cute surfer style swim shorts for boys).



So it's not quite sandal wearing weather yet but everyone know's you have to buy early before they're all sold out. I love both of these for Emi and will have to make a trip to Gap to pick them up asap.


I always make a trip to FAO Schwarz when I am in New York and this trip I picked up yet another Corolle baby for my daughter who is completely obsessed with dolls. I was in Kol Kid yesterday and saw these mini dolls also from Corolle. They are so adorable and I love that they have boy and girl versions available.
