Who knew cartoons could be so stylish? I have adored Charlie and Lola, and everything about it, since it first debuted State side. Lauren Child is one of my absolute favorite children’s book authors. The writing and the illustrations are equally brilliant. She is clever, witty and surely has great style. I have always loved her collage style which always seems to feature fabulous colors and patterns. I would be quite happy living amongst the colorful decor in Charlie and Lola’s home. And how about her dresses? I might wear those too.

I have a little Lola too!
I love Lauren’s work, she is so very fabulous! Her little collage creations are just perfect in their own imperfect way.

Oh it there a Charlie and Lola show? What rock have I been living under. We just have all C&L books. Maybe if I turned the TV on occasionally, I'd know these things. Isn't it funny… I had not noticed the decor… too engrossed in the stories! A-M xx

Love it! And love how you described it. If I was brave, I’d wallpaper like Lauren Child does. :)

I am SO glad someone is giving props to the lovely design of Charlie and Lola. I love the sketchy throw together look of the characters juxtaposed with the colorful designs of fabric and paper. Sigh, to live in such perfection.

Meg- I know my older is kind of getting past it but if I catch it on I make us watch it.. ha. And as for the accent, maybe I should not be admitting this but, I, on a regular basis going around talking in an English accent, so they are pretty use to that. I have my 5 year old working on one herself. ha
And yes, the pink milk is the perfect touch to the show!

charlie and lola is such an adorable show. i fell in love with it when i was working as a nanny and the disney channel’s morning programming became part of my daily routine ;) the animation feels sort of like the scratchy, rough style of the early seasons of south park with the paper cut outs, except (obviously) far more charming.
