Fairy Days

Now that we have headed North, we took a recent trip to Fairy Land in Oakland, CA. This is such an amazing place for kids….so simple & sweet & retro…..It’s been here since the 50’s & legend has it that when Walt Disney visited fairy Land, he was so inspired, he went on to create Disney Land!

Hope you have a great day!

Getting Inspired #6

Recently we went back to Los Angeles and saw a great exhibit on street art at the MOCA. I’ve always loved grafitti, but having grown up in New York City, it was a little crazy to me to see so many images of street art hanging in a museum that I saw almost every day as a young kid on the streets & subway cars of NYC.





Hope You Have a Great Day!

Getting Inspired: It’s a Brand New Year

It’s a brand new year & change is in the air! New year, new beginnings…..and busy, busy, busier than ever! So much to do in such a short time. In the middle of spring ’11 production and getting ready to ship the new collection. This season is very bright, very happy, very fun! More fun, whimsical & vintage inspired designs are set to hit the stores very soon!

At the same time, we are in the final stages of Fall ’11 sampling & & getting ready for the next photo shoot. The new collection will debut in New York this month at the ENK Children’s Club. I love the new fall collection & almost wish we made adult sizes too!

Here are some images that inspired the Spring/Summer collection:

Lots of Color

french stripes
bright prints
the movie Breathless
dolls, dolls & more dolls

Fall

Now that the we are finally almost finished shipping our second season: fall 2010, I’ve been reflecting on the whole design to sales to production to shipping process and feeling a whole sense of relief about having made it successfully through another season….and now getting to concentrate on what I love most: designing! Starting a new company from the ground up is no small endeavor and I’m very thankful to all the friends who have been so amazing to help out during the crazy shipping crunch time and beyond….thank you!!

Here are some images that inspired my favorite group from the fall collection; “Mad For Plaid”, as well as images from our fall photo shoot….it’s a fun collection inspired by my New York memories of the 90’s grunge style.

Who remembers this great collection from Marc Jacobs?

I like this image too….

Juliette Sunshine’s take on the grunge scene for the tiny set…..


(All styles are made from bamboo & recycled cotton jersey. The prints and plaid trims come from vintage/recycled dresses, plaid shirts & designer leftover fabrics)

We had a lot of fun doing the photo shoot! To see more, check out the Fall 10 look book on juliettesunshine.com
