Darling Mummy Minivan Tee
Darling Mummy’s minivan tee was inspired by a steady flow of phone calls from the designers’ gorgeous mommy friends lamenting the purchase of a minivan. Explained the designers: "We designed "too sexy" for these darling friends, as a subtle rebellion to what seems to be coming a parental rite of passage."
The designers themselves, however, don’t drive minivans. Sherri Aynn Collins zips around on her Vespa before meeting her girls at the bus stop while Alisa Christensen navigates Atlanta traffic in a German sports car (fitted with a car seat of course!).
$30 at Darling Mummy.

Tunisian Moon Pajamas from Capri Rose
Coco Chanel once said, “Innovation! One cannot be forever innovating. I want to create classics.â€
Like Chanel, designer Capri Rose is all about creating classics. Inspired by her love of vintage textiles and wallpaper patterns, Capri designed her Tunisian Moon Pajamas, a feminized, modernized version of a pair of pajamas her father wore in the 1970s.
Fun fact about Capri? She thinks that gefilte fish is a culinary delight.
Thanks, Lela, for the tip!

Fade to Black Onyx Earrings
Lauren of Urban Bloom loves the simplicity of the geometric shape of these earrings. An added bonus? Despite the size of the stone, the earrings are surprisingly lightweight.
To best showcase the earrings, Lauren recommends creating a mod look with a knit dress in a neutral black, ecru, or charcoal grey.
Fun fact about Lauren? She and her boyfriend are redecorating, and they sat on beach chairs for four months while waiting for their new couch to be delivered.
$26 at Urban Bloom.

Hayden-Harnett Ibiza Convertible Flight Tote
Ben Harnett was inspired by a WWII Helmet Bag, which evolved in a spell of 3am creativity into a bag that does more than double duty.
What to pair the bag with? According to Harnett, the versatile tote goes with anything and everything–from sweats to YSL.
Something you didn’t know about Hayden-Harnett? The company was started on April Fool’s day by two hardworking people and a slightly less hardworking cat. But they’re no joke.
$193 at Hayden-Harnett.

Kiko Ninja Doll
Says designer Alessandra Lopez-Kiely of the inspiration behind the doll, "We kicked, whined and screamed [about] the crazy festivals/lectures/exhibits my mother dragged us to as kids. But now we’re blessed with a very rich appreciation for many different cultures." Her brother Kiko and her both love ninja movies (and even the really old Jackie Chan movies).
Fun fact about Alessandra? She was born the year of the monkey, which explains her love of the silly. She loves creating products that make people (especially adults) giggle!
Thanks, Julie, for the tip!
