The new issue of Small Magazine posted today and this feature caught my eye. Guest editors from Tada!Shop drew inspiration from one of my daughter's favorite books, "The Curious Garden," to present spring kids' goodies. It's a darling little feature that, for my purposes, neatly juxtaposes two sites I intended to write about anyhow.
Small (and its blog) have more or less filled the hole Cookie magazine left for me when they closed shop. It's far less informative than Cookie, but the Small world does give good fantasy. The pages are beyond busy and there are more soft focus despondent moppet fashion shots than you can shake a Made in China plastic wand at. They do, however, give good shine to indie design-conscious brands and up-and-coming artists.
Likewise — if inaccessibility is what you crave — Tada!Shop is an e-commerce emporium that fills all your over-priced frock-gawking needs. Once you start browsing the Pink Chicken swim caps and Elephantito mary-janes on their Create-A-Look page, you can kiss a good half-hour away.
Together, these sites are about as practical as Dwell is to the average homeowner. But if you have some time to kill and you're tired of looking at those grubby little Old Navy separates in your laundry basket, give a click.
