spring is here!

no seriously... it is... right...?

well i am convinced it is, for the christmas beetles have been calling for 3 weeks now and i trust nature to announce its' seasons. 

here are some lovely bathers, all available right now.

please note that burberry v&a does keep some children's wear in the back so just ask the shop assistants before you fly one down from johannesburg.

wild nature

i adore this trend! promoting wildlife through fashion... i am all over it!! seeing a human cub (for they truly are wild) wearing a t-shirt with a bear cub on makes my heart feel really happy! and seeing as i am very partial to wildlife chit-chat it always gives me an opportunity to say: oooh, you have a hippo on your t-shirt! lo-&-behold, the bait was taken and the child responds that it is a baby brown bear and that they like eating berries and salmon that swims up the river. spot on!

love!

all of the above garments are currently available at country road 

kids.

PAINT BRUSH

thank you burberry, available at hyde park, johannesburg and country road for participating in this amazing story.

one should most certainly buy your child a white button down shirt, there are so many ways to wear it, try it with a beautiful circular or gathered skirt and a pair of mary jane shoes (they don't need to be polka-dotted) and top it up with a cardigan, you're sure to make a good impression at any social club. or wear it under an over-sized dungaree (look in the boys' section) with a pair of high-top sneakers or if you struggle to get your darling into closed shoes wear it with a pair of sandals (love the transparent jellies from burberry)

a comfortable pair of slacks will go a long way, it is worth investing a bit extra to get a decent pair with straight or tapered legs. with an adjustable waist band it will grow with your child and remember this type of leg traditionally sits just below the ankle, so don't panic when your daughter grows tall. it is also remarkably versatile to various body shapes.
