Author Aislinn Hunter Answers: What’s in My Bag?

beauty, books, GEAR, style By Jill Amery January 6, 2016 Tags: 3. Shopping, my bag No Comments

The bag: a Roots satchel that I bought to take abroad because it has a special padded pocket for an iPad and looked like something I could imagine Kate Moss wearing with skinny jeans. Technically I think it’s a ‘murse’ (I found it on the mens’ side of the local Roots store) but I love the Italian-dyed leather and that it’s made in Canada. It’s super comfortable to carry too, even after hours of walking – and it does look wicked with skinny jeans.

Ugly Holiday sweaters have been the rage for many years, though in 1980 many people thought they were beautiful. Like Elaine’s attire on Seinfeld, bell bottoms or disco wear, what was once accepted as normal becomes fodder for themed office holiday parties.

Those who know me realize that I search ebay almost as often as I scan Instagram. My searches generally involve antique china, rockabilly dresses and steamer trunks, but as autumn approaches I must be responsible and get the kids ready to go back to school.

A Luxury Nursery by Savio Fermino

baby, FAM, GEAR, style By Jill Amery June 11, 2015 Tags: Baby furniture, basinetter, crib, featured, Florence, harrods, Italy, lounger, nursery, Petit Tresor, savio fermino, slider No Comments

What mother doesn’t dream of reading to her baby in a stunningly beautiful space like this luxury nursery by Savio Fermino? The canopy above the crib softens the lines of the room, and classic cream is used both to soothe and promote gender neutrality.

Savio Firmino was established in Florence in 1941 by Mr Firmino Savio. The Company has been operating for 70 years. And lucky us.. there is now a store in the US located in Coral Gables. Petit Tresor is the exclusive dealer and ships worldwide.

We sourced these images while on a jaunt to Harrod’s in London and the trip certainly rekindled my true love for everything baby!

Fall and Winter Style for Kids from Noch Mini

GEAR, style By Guest September 27, 2014 Tags: boys clothes, children's clothing, clothing, designer, fall, Fashion, featured, girl's clothes, jina jang, kids, kids clothes, new york, noch mini, style, winter No Comments

I adore fall and winter. Not so much for the weather (I’m personally more of a summer gal) but for the fashion! Living in Vancouver, fall and winter fashion stretches all the way from fall to spring. Fall clothing for kids is just as fun (if not more) than the clothing for adults.

At Urban Mommies we are currently loving kids clothes from Noch Mini, a New York based children’s line designed by Jina Jang. Noch believes in protecting the environment and our children’s bodies by using only certified organic materials and low-impact dyes.

Check out the Noch Mini Fall/Winter 2014 Lookbook for great looks for your kids for the fall.
