> Little Smilemakers & Maxomorra

I have always been a fan of the cute Maxomorra clothing line for kids. They produce adorable clothes for babies, toddles and young kids. I remember seeing their first collection in Kopenhagen years ago. I fell in love with the cute quirky retro style patterns right away.

A few weeks ago a I stumbled upon their new collection in a shop in Antwerp and was happy to see my very own retro apples in their new spring collection. So run to the shop for new t-shirts, onsies, leggings and cute little undies.

Pastels will make a come back during the warmer season, they never really have been away. But the new soft colors will be coming back to stay. Some coral and mint designs are a must this summer. Also the new raw nature trend has set in. You have seen the large leafs and brazil influences in home decor textiles? They will be in your 2014 wardrobe I am sure. Fall will be a green jungle festival.

Little Smilemakers Studio has also made an entire new Veritas collection for fall. This fashionable collection will be in Veritas shops from November. Raw shapes and retro influences will be the key inspiration for this new scandinavian chic boho look. Have fun!
