Whenever us Beijos ladies fall in love with a brand we obviously have to share it with our readers!! Well so is the case with today’s post. We fell in love with San Diego based Bink & Boo the minute we put their cutest little pants on our own kiddos. They are the ankle biters, and they are amazing, honestly until I saw them on Court I didn’t realize just how cute and perfect they are! They are stylish and cute and also super functional and comfy for my (active) little guy. They also have the cutest little baby booties that I can’t wait to put on our newest addition come August! So here we are, sharing all about this amazing brand and the amazing woman behind it, Bianca Wickers. This woman is beyond creative and is a hard working mother of two who we admire so much! Keep reading to hear more about this rad brand and to see some cute photos of our kiddos, ha!

When and how did Bink & Boo come to life?
Who’d a thunk it? What I thought was the most bazaar gift, turned out to be the best, and most meaningful. (Thanks, babe!)
Where do you get the inspiration for your creations?
But, the foundation of my inspiration for bink & boo came from my family, my childhood…my mom, and my grandmother. I find so much inspiration in old family photos. Photos of my grandmother and her sisters in the late 60’s and 70’s; their vibrant colored dresses, and loud prints. Photos of my mom in Orange County in the late 60’s and 70’s. A surfer. A hippy. Her simple style,a natural beauty. What ever my grandmother did, my mom did the opposite. I appreciate her rebellious nature. Those two women could not be more different, and it’s in those differences that I find common ground, and so much inspiration for bink & boo.
We love the fit of your ankle biters, how did you come up with such a great design?
Oh gosh, I don’t even know. Isn’t that terrible? I think it came out of necessity. My son needed new pants. I was looking for (and couldn’t find) pants that were easy to wear, no fuss, versatile, and simple to style. Side note: “Simple to style” is what I live by. Everything I buy for myself or my kiddos, has to be versatile and simple to style. There’s no time for fuss. (Ain’t nobody got time for that!) That same philosophy spills over into my creations. Wait! What was the question? Oh, yes, the design of ankle biters. I had some old, stained, t-shirts that I thought would be perfect because the fabric was super soft. So, I traced a rough pattern onto a shirt, and to my surprise I created #theraddestlittlepantsever. Ankle biters are my favorite thing to shop for. My son has a great eye, and picks a good amount of the shirts we use.
What’s next for bink & boo?
Wishing you sunshine & cheer!
