aloha friday scoop

offline life kept me unexpectedly preoccupied these past few days so, combined with feeling less than inspired of late, i must apologize for my lack of posts this week. one of my highlights was befriending this delicous garlic bread recipe by the barefoot contessa in the kitchen. chop, sauté, spread, bake & enjoy!

tomorrow is the official play date for the cupcake pop-up with 10% off all keiki charm from the boutique (including fishtales, jolie + jane, mi cielo & moopiland), plus the chance to scoop up little delights from our friends at miemiko atelier, my little love, shop toast & more.

it appears that cupcake, the keiki boutique at ward center, also has its very own adorable children's line called jolie + jane. the label is billed as a little girl clothier and the charming designs are just right for parents who prefer their little ones to dress like children instead of mini-celebutantes.

j+j's spring/summer 2007 collection is composed of restrained ruffles, darling trims, pretty patterns, and even handy pockets to stash candy or other contraband best hidden from grown-ups. a few designs are currently on sale at cupcake's website and you will be able to see even more at the spring trunk show scheduled at the shop on apr 28th.
