Welcome Spring, it’s good to have you back…! Although it isn’t fully spring yet, I’m already so excited! Its time to pack those thick blankets and heavy jackets away.. well not just yet but soon! Every season, I buy some new items as I donate quite often to charity. I decided to blog about my favorites and what I’m drooling for at the moment. Many of the items are on my wish list and I will have to start saving before I could purchase them.. but a girl can dream hey?! I have no idea about fashion, I wear what I’m comfortable in and what I think suits me however I love colours.
Spring Favorites for mom:
I’ve been loving Kourtney Kardashian’s style recently and no.1 and no.7 reminds me of her. I love collar shirts, I’m creating my own collecting at the moment.

I’m slowly getting a makeup collection, there’s one item I cannot leave the house with and that’s lipstick or lip gloss. It makes such a big difference for me if I’m in a rush. From untidy to okay. 😛

Spring Favorites for baby:
Spring gets me excited for shopping especially for Kitana, she’s such a girly girl. She loves dressing up and her favorite item is dresses at the moment. She just swirls around and poses for us.
1. Korango – Pink Paris Cardigan R 339.95
Spring comes with rain and rain normally brings a chill, this is perfect for those days and to carry in the nappy bag.
2. Earth Child – Cotton Bucket Hat R139
Earth Child was a brand I never used to bother about but I have to be honest, the quality is top-notch! I received gifts from this brand when Kitana was born, its one of the few that still looks brand new.
Every Kid needs a hat for Spring/Summer.
3. Melissa Shoes, Estimate around R600.
A pretty sandal to last long-term, kiddies shoes is important for me. I always try to find ones that Kitana would be comfortable in.
