“A collection, like life, is a journey. You can’t see the end when you set out,” explains Natasha Lee Thomas, founder and designer at Frankie & Ava. “Each season I try to reach a little higher, to achieve more. It isn’t easy, it takes hard work and does not happen overnight. But Frankie & Ava and I are in this great adventure together.” Thomas wanted to create a collection of children’s clothing that was fashionable and functional. The result of blending her British heritage and understanding of bi-coastal cool is Frankie & Ava, so named after the designer’s two children. The company is known for its subtle, classy approach to children’s clothing.

A baby’s nursery is in many ways their first introduction to the world. Parents want that introduction to be peaceful and charming, and of course it doesn’t hurt if it’s as coordinated as the ads in the parenting magazines. San Franciscan Nidhi Chanani says Everyday Love, her line of original illustrations and prints, celebrates the simple pleasures of everyday life and love. But her illustrations are far from simple. There’s a sweet dreamy quality to each of her over 600 original pieces.
