SHOOT | Scotch R'belle for Girls

M wears: Allover printed Denim dress by Scotch R'belle / Beanie by Scotch R'belle / Boots by Seed.

We are beginning on a new season as the summer is drawing slowly towards its end. We are having a couple of indian summer days of late and the golden light is starting to get that magical touch. Here are a few shots from our afternoon in Flinders, and I simply love the denim dress that Dutch label Scotch R'belle has come out with for the girls this winter season. The cool allover monster hand print is great and the wonderful details such as the whale tail on neck and cuff buttons and the little copper heart that is attached to the hem of the skirt are yet another wonderful little touch that adds so much to this dress. The dress is made out of thick denim so its warm enough to take into autumn and winter yet soft enough to wear on an everyday occasion. Its easy to see how it's quickly become a new favourite in my girls wardrobe and with the generous sizing it will be something she can wear and get a lot of usage of for a few years to come!

SHOOT | Scotch R'belle AW15

"Deep into the forest where the birds sing a bit louder and the plants seem a bit more lush hides the best playgrounds and biggest adventures"  - This is where we try to escape and let the kids explore just get away from paved roads and city life.

It was also the best place to shoot some photos to show you the new AW15 range from girls wear label Scotch R'belle. The new autumn/winter range has just dropped at Buckets and Spades and there are so many key wardrobe pieces for the girls in there. As per usual the attention to details in these garments are amazing. I can't even begin to describe the thick quality of this skirt. The embroided flower pattern is gorgeous and the drawstring waist makes it such a stand out piece. There are so many good outfits in this drop and you really can't go wrong with what every you choose because the colour pallet is made to fit everything in the collection.

Here is how we styled a few pieces together for a warm autumn/winter outfit.

Tropical Fever | Scotch R'belle

Back from holiday with the suitcase and heads full of holiday memories. One absolutely magical day was when we had a chance to visit the vast sand dunes in Newcastle. Endless hills of white, pristine sand which was so soft that it squeaked when you stepped on it. It was the perfect backdrop to shoot some absolutely amazing clothes by Scotch R'belle. If you are looking for clothes for your girl that is that perfect mix of cool and cute, then look no further.

Packed with wonderful details such as double layers, highly detailed buttons and little hidden printed messages in fun places it takes fashion into the art territory. Most garments are made to fit several outfits in the collection and it is a joy to mix and match this label. The tropical theme is wonderful and the colour choices are perfect for this summer! The cropped tee is detachable and underneath you have a lovely singlet, held together with a wonderful detailed copper button. The skirt is also double layered and has a gorgeous printed under layer which reminds me of aboriginal art and ties perfectly together with the rows of colour fringes in the waistline.

CLOSE UP | Scotch Shrunk + Scotch R'Belle

I had the pleasure of shooting these clothes in action last weekend, but I thought I had to share just what makes this label so amazing - the details and the quality! It is an absolute joy to get discover all the different thoughts and ideas that has gone into each and ever garments in Scotch & Soda's kids labels. A decorated button, a hidden message in the backside of a pocket, an artwork in the form of a swingtag.

I love how much time and effort they have put in when designing these clothes and its so much fun seeing the kids discover these little details themselves. I was thrilled when I found out my local kids store Buckets and Spades were carrying both Scotch Shrunk (boys) and Scotch R'Belle (girls). We got the cool trucker jacket in denim and teamed them up with the red Mercer denim pants for my boy and the beautiful top with an animal diamond, which went great with the Ruby star denims for my girl. Both items from the girls selection are so soft! The top has a nice silky feel to it and the pants has a lovely stretch to them which makes them easy and nice to jump into.

These days when you often find stores/labels replicating styles or colour choices it is so nice to see a label that focuses on fresh design, amazing illustrations and top notch quality so you can feel good about spending those extra few dollars and know that they will stand the wear and tear that kids will put them through and still be lovely to pass down to a growing sibling.

The weekend brought some more nice moments and here are a bunch of them. The kids were lucky to test out a long time favourite label of ours, Scotch Shrunk (boys) and Scotch R'Belle (girls). The younger off shoot of popular adult, Amsterdam brand Scotch & Soda. This is a label that understands the wonderful world of details and let me tell you there are plenty on these lovely threads.

Cross stitching, detailed buttons, hidden prints, secret messages for the owners etc makes these clothes so much fun to own and wear. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into each garment and the quality is top notch. I will make sure to show you just how lovely the details are up close soon, so keep an eye out for that later this week. 

We had a nice weekend with exceptional warm weather for being so late in the Autumn season, so we decided to visit one of our favourite spots that not that many people know about. The wild fauna reserve. It's almost like a hidden gem in the middle of suburbia.  Here you can find great logs to climb, wonderful leaves to explore and an abundance of hidden paths that seem to lead to new exciting spots.  We came home with some new nature buddies, Mr. Pine cone and few new garden rocks, luckily a tree lizard was too quick to accompany us home (sigh of relief to the parents). 

I hope you all had nice weekend out there too. When Monday comes around the corner I always feel like it went way too fast. I am sure I am not alone feeling that way. Here's to a good start of the week and more lovely moments to share soon.
