Molo AW 14/15 Part II






Do you want to know a little secret of mine? I never wanted children. When I met my husband I clearly had a change of mind - thank God! Something that didn't change, though, was my wish for a boy. I just couldn't imagine raising girls, because I was more of a tomboy than anything else growing up. Princess teaparties, pink dresses, Barbies...all these things sounded more than...well...unpleasant and they still do. But as a parent, you do a lot of things you really do not want to do just to make them smile. Another thing I quickly learned.
But still, I was over the moon when the doctor announced that we're expecting a baby boy. And Romeo is as much of a boy as humanly possible, thanks to two older sisters. Now all I need to do is pray that this beautiful boy grows into a man's man...a man of honor. But that's probably up to us as parents...no pressure there or anything!
Enough of the sentimental mommy nonsense, though, let's get back to the fashion. It's still all about Molo and their quirky, but cool prints. I mean, how cute is this pants on joggers print? And the splatter longsleeve gives just the right urban edge to the entire outfit. Been trill, for real!

Making New Friends

We had the pleasure of meeting Dilya - better known as Nyearthur on Instagram - and her little family. She recently posted a picture of Arthur infront of this alien-esque space egg thing in Düsseldorf (which is actually a pretty futuristic bar) and I needed to know where this was taken. She thought we were living abroad and was a bit surprised at first, but then asked if it was ok to tag along when we would visit this place. Of course it's ok! And here we are. Only a couple of days later. The magic of social media. I don't even know how they managed to find like-minded people back when there was no Instagram, or Facebook or whathaveyou...
And how cute is little Arthur??? My three sure loved him and they had a lot of fun together. They even walked on water together! Been a while since somebody did that, hasn't it? Of course they got soaking wet in the process, but even Romeo, who's always a bit prissy when it comes to being wet while wearing clothes, didn't mind at all. He saved the whining for the drive home, though. Charming.
It's so good to see how easy it is for kids to click. Not overthinking anything, just getting jiggy with it. Always a great experience. And I think it's safe to say that we'll see more of Mr Arthur in the near future!

ChiChiRomeo+Me x Crime London

It's a criminally cool edition today! Crime London is a relatively new brand (just went into their 4th season) founded by sisters Lisa and Jessica Kistermann. Their line includes short boots and sneakers, taken to another level by an amazing attention to detail when it comes to accessorizing.
Their designs are unique and have that vintage handmade feel to them that I love. But what I love more is that they also have a line just for the little ones.
The quality is superb. Just what you would expect from an European brand. I mean, with kid's shoes it's not about looks alone. I want durability. They have to survive daycare, school and the playground and have to be comfortable all at once. Talking about pressure, ha!
These are hands down the perfect kicks. The kids love them, I love them and even the husband approves. He is kind of a stickler when it comes to shoes, so that's saying something!

Double Trouble

It's probably not easy being this fierce. Not that I would know anything about that. The fierceness skipped a generation. Poor me. I've always wondered how they manage to be the way they are and how my clumsy and sometimes nerdy self hasn't yet messed that coolness up. Not that I intend to, of course, but we all know that some things just happen.
It's probably wrong to envy your own children and I should go and seek for some kind of help, but I can't help myself. While they do have their shy moments (mostly towards people who are...well...questionable), the selfconfidence all three of them display 95% of the time is just breathtaking. I want that for myself. And I want it to be as natural as it is for them. Effortless and real.
A woman at one of their modeling gigs once told me how impressed she was by Ashley's coolness and that it didn't seem to be "trained" or an act. That actually made me a little queasy. Why would anybody try and turn their kids into something they're not? Yes, being selfconfident will enable them to open a lot of doors in life more easily. But that's about it. Nobody gets anywhere by just being fierce. It's not a guarantee for anything. Unless you are Beyoncé, of course. But she's an exception to...hm...everything.
