Marie Puce new spring collection (and setting up our Easter tree)

Amsterdam is in full spring bloom! The city fields and roadsides are sprinkled with daffodils and flower stands are overflowing with tulips. Our house is all of a sudden so bright and colourful, with loads of that beautiful crisp, early-year sunshine beaming in and tons of little vases and baskets with flowers scattered about. I love this time of year!

With Easter only a couple of weeks away, we just set up our traditional Easter tree. Normally I get some branches of pussy willow for this purpose, but this year we used the cuttings of our neighbour’s cherry tree that he kindly gave to us. They are blossoming so beautifully!

I think the colours of spring work wonderfully well with the Marie Puce outfits my kids are wearing. How sweet are all of those cute candy colours together? I always love the collections of Marie Puce, but I think this year’s designs might be my favourites so far. The patterns and colours are so pretty together, and the shapes of the pieces are so good! I love how they work so well for all the different ages — cute for smaller children, yet cool for the bigger ones.

Marie Puce is a Parisian fashion brand run by two sisters, Anne and Camille. We have been working with Anne and Camille for many years now and I have always been a big fan of their clothes. They offer such a consistently lovely collection: classic yet contemporary and — like only Parisians know how to pull off so perfectly — simple, but stylish. Their baby clothing is really adorable: comfortable, easy, and so, so sweet. Their children collections are made to play in and perfect for every day, yet pretty enough and with such lovely detailing that they easily work for special occasions as well. Sizing goes up to 12, which is great — but then there’s also a teens section, with a lovely collection for bigger girls. I love how these teenager pieces are slightly more feminine and elegant, respectful of changing bodies and a bit more ‘cool’, but still innocent and so very sweet!

After the long, dark and cosy winter months, we’re so excited to be wearing these pretty summery shades and cool cottons. Throw the garden doors open, plan our first barbecue… Hello, spring!
