SEPTEMBER KIDS' CLOTHES
/September has got to be the best time of year when it comes to shopping. I'm obsessed with clothes for Mila and so I'm going crazy over all the new fall collections. Wanted to share a few of my favorites here with you.
PLAYING DRESS UP WITH WOVENPLAY

Wovenplay is described as "creative couture for the everyday artist and adventurer." I love that. The New York-based company believes in old techniques, hand-crafted textiles and the natural qualities of materials; drawing on the past to create modern, sustainable, beautifully hand-crafted clothing and costumes for little ones. It's obvious that founder and designer Katherine Edmonds applies her background in art, textile design and traditional french dressmaking to every collection.
I view buying a piece from Wovenplay like investing in a piece of art. Here are some current favorites.
Lola Bluejay Sun/Swimsuit.
Fila Tutu.
Lion Cape.
Shooting Star Dress in lavender silver.
Pepe for Wovenplay Blue Star Sandals.
UPSTAIRS AT PIERRE LAFOND
/The next time you take a trip to Santa Barbara, I highly recommend stopping in the town of Montecito, just south. Pierre Lafond has quite a setup there with his Wine Bistro and Montecito Market, along with his wife's Wendy Foster and Upstairs. Today we're exploring Upstairs, a beautifully curated shop of unique pieces for home, gifts and the kids.
I'll have to tell Twink to add these to her next Kitchen Towel Guide.
I spy some good Rifle Paper Co. options in there.
Cozy blankies for snuggling.
I'm gonna need to add this Maileg bunny to Mila's birthday wish list.
Oh hey, beautiful Jess Brown doll.
The best Atsuyo et Akiko selection I've seen in a store.
