EXPLORE | COASTAL CRUISE IN MUNSTERKIDS AW17

D wears: Blow It Longsleeve tee by Munsterkids / Kickback Trackpants by Munsterkids / Stay Puff Jacket by Munsterkids / Sneakers by Converse / Beanie by neff.

A long weekend called for a day by the Sea. We woke up early and jumped in the car which took us the scenic route down the Mornington Peninsula. We zig zagged through small towns and finally rolled into one of our favourite coast hang outs - Flinders.

An art driven coastal town that knows how to relax and enjoy the finder things in life. A day on the rugged coastline here makes you feel alive. The salty sea air, the fresh seafood, the cold beer and a chance to forgo anything called time.

We took our shoes off and poked our toes in the sand. Found rusty old engines between caves and explored the rockpools with the curious seabirds in tow...

SUMMER DREAMING | MUNSTERKIDS S16

M wears: Avalon Gold Tee by Missie Munster / Pineapple Jersey Pants by Missie Munster / Sunhat by Country Road.  D wears: Suds Tee by Munsterkids / Upside Down Cap by Munsterkids / Jersey Cruz pants by Munsterkids.

The sun has finally made an appearance after a long and very windy winter. The wait for warmer weather has felt unusually long so when a warm day finally came around and we could stick our toes in the crisp white sand at Seaford, it was truly a pleasure!

The new high summer collection from Munsterkids has arrived on both the virtual shelves and in stores. We are totally smitten with this line and it was of course a bit extra fun to see some of my own designs turning out so great - the lovely peeps over at Munsterkids truly knows what they are doing (with over 10 years in the game their collections just keep getting stronger).

I appologize for the slow feed on the blog lately. Work has taken over a big chunk of my weekdays but the creative side never sleeps so I promise I will get back to posting more interesting travel destinations and photos from our adventures here in Australia. Until then... I hope the sun shines on you too!

Cotton on KIDS are launching their new kids activewear line today! We had the chance to try out some of the range and both D and M gave it a good test run this weekend. We loved the fact that all garments are very lightweight and easy to move around in. The breathable materials makes they perfect for any activity and thanks to their nice design there is no compromise on style either! We had an active Sunday down at the Boardwalk and enjoyed playing footy in the sand, skipping rope and even manged to squeeze in some skating and a quick session of breakdance!?

At the end of the day it was two thumbs up for the active gear. A big plus was that the clothing manged to keep the kids warm in the wind but not too hot to be active in!

Here is what Cotton on KIDS are saying about their new active line...
Perfect for any active indoor or outdoor adventure – whether it be team sports, dancing or a weekend out and about with mum and dad.  The girls active range (for ages 2 - 8) includes leggings, shorts, lightweight jackets, t-shirts, tanks, bonded-fleece jackets, trainers, hats and other accessories including socks, hairbands, runners, baseball caps and drink bottles available in various colours and sizes, designed to match back with the Active range.

It is no surprise that Cotton On KIDS has added its own personality to durable materials with pastel hues, metallic prints and sparkling elastic waists. The new dance range, also launching August 17th, includes stretchy leotards, dance wraps and skirts which are bound to be a favourite with tiny dancers.

The concept for the new category was born after Cotton On KIDS Head Buyer, Meaghan Kendall noticed the global trend of sports luxe becoming part of people’s everyday wardrobes. Whether that be track pants, trainers or just a hoodie, the range is versatile and perfect for all activities.  “We are excited to be launching our new active range; we know that our customers love the style, fit and price of our everyday apparel, and we’ve incorporated this into our range. We were inspired by what is trending globally, but we added our famous Cotton On KIDS twist to it – fun, colourful, prints, sparkle for the girls, a bit of attitude for the boys.

Cotton On KIDS Active range will launch globally on August 17th. Keep an eye out on our instagram page @minor_detales on how you can win a KID activewear pack this week!

MOMENTS | Keep Calm and Carry On

M wears: Knitted sweater by Bobo Choses / Moon longsleeve by Bobo Choses / Skirt by Mango Kids / Stockings by Bobo Choses / Boots by EMU / Pom pom beanie by Sportsgirl // D wears: Mogens Sweatshirt by molo / Reto longsleeve by molo / Arlen denim pants by molo / shoes by Converse.

It has been a few busy weeks over here and when work falls in your lap unfortunately the blog get's a bit quiet. Still the camera comes with us where ever we go so here are a few new snaps from our adventures today. We couldn't believe how calm the bay was today. Not a single breeze, just a massive mirror like ocean in front of us. The plants are slowly waking up and getting ready for Spring. The colours are coming back and so are the urge to get out and explore. The long winter has given us a few cold days, but nothing a warm knit and a beanie couldn't cope with. We are all longing for warmer days and on weekends like this you can tell it is not too far away...

Winter Bay Shoot Featuring Gugguu Kidswear

M wears: Pale pink Hoodie by Gugguu / Two colour Leggings by Gugguu / Shoes by Vans / Handbag by Cotton On Kids. D wears: Ice blue Hoodie by Gugguu / Baggy pants by Gugguu / Shoes by Converse. 

As the weather gets colder down here it is nice to get into some proper thick clothes. These amazing and colourful outfits from Finish label Gugguu was perfect for today's bay outing. We have written before about the wonderful quality of this label and done several close up articles and shoots before.

Their classic hoodie with the zip to the side is such a perfect cut. It features extra long hems on the arms and has a gorgeous thick hood that sits perfect when worn up and down. You can tell a lot of planning has gone into these garments and the cool baggy pants with extra large pockets that goes all around the side of the pants are perfect for collection treasures from the beach.  The hoodies and pants/leggings has a wonderful jersey stretch in them so they will last and are very comfortable for little running legs. Gugguu kids fashion combines simplicity, style, bravely fresh colors and small colorful details in its collection.

This season's colours are stunning. We love the pale pink and ice blue they are wearing here. They remind us of the deep, green/blue sea colour we have down here and the pink is that pale pink you see in the sky as the day turn into evening. Not sure how the designers have manged to pick two colours that are so close to our heart, but it was the perfect match for us!
