Rare Finds at Bubble London
Among the brands that I am looking forward to discovering at Bubble London next month is Olive's friend Pop. This new Australian label was created in 2009 by Julia Ferguson & Lea Walker. "The naive charm of Olive's Friend Pop evoke a strong sense of nostalgia: of days spent outdoors making mudpies; of teddy tea-parties; of running until the point of collapse in fits of giggles, and the high quality fabrics and construction ensure that these will become heirloom pieces that you can pass down to your grandchildren." (KidsStyleFile). The brand is designed in Australia and the production is facilitated out of Hong Kong. Available in about 30 boutiques around the world, including Kido Store (Sydney), Kawaii Kids (online) and Bambie (South Korea).

You will fall in love with Olives Friend Pop's new collection called “Picnic In The Park.” It is their fourth collection, and is as beautiful as ever! They are introducing some new sleepwear & swimwear, that is just to cute for words. Now your little ones can enjoy Olives Friend Pop's vintage inspired style day and night. I am such a huge fan of this site. You will definitely become a friend of Olives Friend Pop.

Totally loving Olive's Friend Pop today. It is a collection of vintage-inspired clothing inspired by proper little-girls' clothes of post WWII, from a time when little girls looked like, well, little girls. They call it "nostalgic playwear" and it is simply adorable!

I'm always a bit confused when discussing the seasons with people in Australia or New Zealand - here in Europe we're finally (and eagerly) embracing spring, while the people down under are preparing for the cozy and cold season! So Olive's Friend Pop, the adorable vintage inspired brand from Australia, has the cutest winter collection online I've seen in ages. Aren't those knickerbockers adorable? And that sweet little tweed coat? And don't get me started on the little apron– love! I'm so hoping that Julia and Lea will expand their cute brand to Europe soon; surely before next winter will be upon us?

New clothes are like new friends...you get excited at the thought of them...love taking them out for coffee and you can never have enough, right? Well, depends on the clothes, and if they are from Olive's Friend Pop, then you'll be set. Gorgeous play clothes with a vintage flare and original details ...Olive's Friend Pop is by far the most impressive clothing line we've reviewed in along time. Love the lined skirts with floral lining and the pink collared dress that ties in the back. Very playful and girly but in a sophisticated and classic way. Durable enough for the playground and pretty enough for birthday soirees. What more do you need?
VINTAGE-INSPIRED FASHION FOR KIDS
Ever since I was a young girl I asked my mom whether I could dress my dolls in my baby clothes. So she had this huge bag of baby dresses, shirts and little bloomers for me to play with. When I left home to live by myself my mom asked what she should do with this bag that I had forgotten about and when I saw the cute stuff again I took the most beautiful pieces and brought them with me, thinking if I were to have a baby girl one day she could wear them... this never happened, two beautiful boys were my destiny, but the vintage dresses are still with me and I love looking at them and seeing vintage-inspired kids fashion labels popping up for a new baby generation.

A bit about Olive's friend Pop
Julia and Lea are the Mums behind Olive's Friend Pop. Based in Potts Point, Australia {a small suburb of Sydney} Olive's friend Pop is a collection of vintage-inspired, original clothing for little girls. Julia and Lea like to refer to their clothing as "nostalgic playwear" or you can refer to them also as "modern day heirlooms." Julia and Lea's creations are inspired by proper little-girls' of clothes of their grandmothers' generation, Post WWII, and from a time when little girls looked like proper little girls! Though all the clothing is special Julia and Lea don't view their clothing as 'special occasion' wear. Instead, everything they make is made to be played in and gotten dirty. Olive's friend Pop is todays take on vintage designs, produced in beautiful, but wearable and durable fabrics.
My Review
I was sent a Silvy Pinafore Dress {with green floral lining} to review from Olive's friend Pop. I will say this now...I don't think I have ever been in love with a clothing line until now. How I wish Olive's friend Pop had a store in the U.S. Their clothing is gorgeous, timeless and oh, so versatile! All of Olive's friend Pops clothing can be worn to the park, the beach, or worn to a party or wedding. That's right...you can let your kids be kids in these clothes...and these clothes will last! Now that is what I call quality craftmanship! The Silvy Pinafore is so sweet, girly, beautifully made and so stylish! I love the floral lining and the vintage-look of the pinafore! My daughter looks like a proper little girl prancing around in her little pinafore! She loves it as do I!
So no need to go crazy when looking for adorable children's clothing that is high quality and super unique....Olive's friend Pop is it!
The company did send me a product or service for review. This in no way has affected my opinion of the product or service. This review is my opinion and has been written in my own words

Precious Autumn... Olive's Friend Pop
This is the third release from Olive's Friend Pop that I've had the pleasure of sharing with you, and as someone with a fondness for vintage styling, you can imagine the joy it brings me. Take a look at theses beauties… the silhouettes are simply
charming, the fabric is sublime... it's vintage heaven!
Not only is the Olive's Friend Pop collection supremely precious, each season we also get to take a nostalgic walk down memory lane as we read through the names of the garments. This season we meet Silvy, Esther, Ethal, Frankie, Kitty, Harry, Louie and Norma.
You'll find Olive's Friend Pop online at Kawaii Kids and Little Indigo, with the winter styles hitting the shelves very shortly.
