BRAND WATCH | Bobo Choses AW15 ' The Unknown Mountain Journey'

Another strong collection from Spanish Bobo Choses, with their AW15 'The Unknown Mountain Journey'. As we are going towards warmer seasons Europe is of course going towards colder months and as usual BC delivers a good dose of warm Autumn/Winter tones and nice thick knits. This collection is inspired by outdoor life, woodland walks, enjoyment of the nature…Discover the mystery of the natural and have fun!

Elegant colours (ochre, teal, navy blue, mustard) go along with bold prints that reveal the secrets of the unknown mountain: talking horses, flocks of pointillist, birds, crayon-coloured leaves, funny foxes, rubber-stamp forests and many more...


The collection has landed on the shelves at Buckets and Spades so make sure you snap up some warm goodies before they run out. Perhaps even stock up for next winter season? 

MOMENTS | Skate Break

D wears: Making Tracks zip hoodie by Alphabet Soup / Lucky You Jean by Alphabet Soup / Electromagnetic LS raglan tee by Alphabet Soup / Paint ball beanie by Alphabet Soup / Shoes by Native.

There is a lot going on over here with our house move, but you still have to have a break every now and then... The other night we had such a lovely evening with a nice sun set and the kids ran off some extra energy on the boardwalk. We brought the skateboards and it was so nice to just roll around and watch people down there. Everybody is enjoying the sun we have had lately and its nice to have it warm you up in the cool evening air.

D got to try out his cool outfit from Alphabet Soup. He loves his soundwave hoodie which is such a cool invention, it has built-in headphones (featuring HB3 technology). Yes you read that right- headphones in the hood! So you simply connect your music device to the music cord in the zip up pocket and out comes music into the hood... Best thing is, its also machine washable so there is no worrying about not being able to wash it.  So now there is no excuse not to bring the music with him and I feel better about him taking his music with him since he can still hear what is going on around him.

If you haven't heard about Alphabet Soup and you got boys at home, you should definitely check it out. The Melbourne based streetwear label has a big dose of cool to put in the boys wardrobe and they takes direct influence from music, action sports and popular street culture. The range is an eclectic product mix with one thing in common - boys of all ages will want to wear it!

SHOOT | Scotch Shrunk AW15

There is no doubt that when March arrives you know summer is on its way out. Before us is some golden months of Autumn and then Winter will take over. Time to have a look in the wardrobes and see if we are ready for the colder months. I had a great time shooting some of this AW15 Scotch Shrunk collection for Buckets and Spades. This is a label we try and stock up on each season, their high quality wear is perfect for active boys. Tough wearing denim and cool prints is a must in every boy's wardrobe and this season delivers some great styles!

D is wearing some of our favourite picks for the season - a good, warm outfit to last through the two colder season ahead of us. We love their new shirts with prints which comes in a few different versions, and their worn denims are a perfect fit for anything. This model is great with a bit of stretch and a soft feel.
