Magic in the Mountains

For the full feature, please visit Junior Style London here.

Where there are mountains, we will find magic. Tucked away upon one of Vermont’s highest peaks, lives a spot worthy of gnomes and unicorns. It is deliriously beautiful and ever-changing. Since our last visit, a mighty tree has collapsed into the mile-high pond. Flat sided stones interrupt its stillness as they’re gathered for skipping across the water. With every toss, a wish is made, requesting more magic from our perch in the sky. Ensconced in the scene playing out before me, I need not make a wish. Instead, I sit, enchanted by these forest fairies, as they float with effervescence in luxurious creations from Charlotte sy Dimby. A long-admired brand reigning from France with roots in Madagascar, the marriage of our worlds creates a landscape of beauty high in the mountains.

In the course of an afternoon, we’ve rediscovered a world of enchantment, cloaked in hand-smoked pretties from our favourite French dressmaker. Each piece carries with it a story that is waiting to be written. The girls play tribute to their fantasies, making for a magical afternoon in the mountains.

Dance of the Goldenrod

For the full post, visit Junior Style here.

The beautiful Goldenrod, a brilliant yellow wildflower native to our home, is on full display as we return to routines, old friends, and new. A colour that reflects wisdom, joy, and confidence, its presence is timely as the school year begins. Amber stems dance with the breeze and we feel inclined to follow their lead.

We’re balancing in that delicate space between summer and fall when the vegetation is bountiful and our days are refreshing and mellow. Excitement for what’s to come gives us plenty of reason to finish our back to school looks with New York-based childrenswear brand, Mademoiselle à SOHO.

I first came to know this delightful brand when Elise was a mere babe and fell instantly in love with an elegant marriage of textures and timeless silhouettes that exude Parisian charm. It is, in fact, a unique blend of cultures that makes Mademoiselle à SOHO special. The line is skillfully handcrafted in Romania and is dedicated to ethical production using environmentally conscious materials. Handwoven, knit, or deadstock materials sourced from Italy add to the allure of owning a piece of this magical collection. A partnership of four mothers drives the brand forward and invites us to dance away in their imaginative creations.
