BETWEEN THE LINES


A sunny and lazy Sunday afternoon calls for a striped t-shirt and denim shorts. Nice and casual for running around in the yard.

BLUE BIRD


Today was one of those four seasons in one day kinda days, and this photo was taken after many other cool layers were removed as the day got warmer. I still like the simplicity of blue jeans and a white t-shirt - classic.

POSER


This outfit is a mix of old and new, and the little guy seems super happy to wear it. I'm looking everywhere for another cool Small Paul shirt for the little guy before he gets too big to wear this one. The red skinny jeans are from Jet, and I must say I didn't really like them that much when I bought them, but pared with a black shirt and shoes they look great!

PSYCHEDELIC CATERPILLAR



"Who... are... you? "
I'm a huge Alice in Wonderland fan, and these pajamas reminds me of that crazy caterpillar sitting on a mushroom, confusing the daylights out of Alice.

CHALLENGER


Neither my husband or myself are super sporty. It's not like we can't do sport, or are too rubbish at it, it's just that we're just not that into sport, and just kinda have a little jog here or there to try keep the middle-age-spread away. So the only reason our kid has a cycle challenge t-shirt is because his super-sporty (good at it, loves it, and does well at it) uncle scored this shirt for him. I don't mind people looking at me like I'm a winner when I'm out and about with my boy wearing this though... Thanx for the cool t-shirt super-uncle!

BOB THE BUILDER


This week Clamber Club asked us to dress our kids up for some reason other than that it's super cute to dress kids up as things, and my little guy went as a builder. He just love banging on things with his hammer and trying to fix things that don't really need fixing... Makes me wish we celebrated Halloween around here.

BIGGER THAN HIP HOP


Today the little man is blinged out in all new gear, and he looks totally bad-ass! I love black clothes on little boys - gives them a bit of an edge. The fact that all these new clothes are a little too big for him ads to the oversized hip-hop feel, and the new sneakers complete the look. This little man is lucky to have a daddy who is sneaker obsessed. He won't ever be seen is uncool shoes...

GOT MILK?


I love this preppy look for the little guy with striped golf shirt with drum detail on the front, and matching blue shorts. Got all this preppy goodness from Edgars at the beginning of the season. Milk moustache not included...

THE FAST AND THE FASHIONABLE


Recently I freaked out about the fact that we will be going to the UK in a couple of weeks, and went shopping for all things long and warm to pack for the little guy! Unfortunately it's summer here, and there wasn't much to choose from... I was super happy to have found these pants with colored stripes on the inside which you see when you turn them up at the bottom. So happy/desperate actually that I bough a bunch of different colored pairs to add to the packing list.

VANILLA


I must be honest here and let you know that I'm totally just making up a post about a white t-shirt to enable me to share this super sweet picture of my little lad playing with a snail. So.... the shirt is from Woolworths, and the snail is from my garden.

SUPER-DOG!


Another hipster superhero outfit today with his super shirt from Mr Price, and banana yellow shorts from Edgars. I kinda think that I should go buy more shorts like these in other crazy colors, but I'm having a hard time working out how they will match with the clothes he alsready has, and you know I'm super matchy...

FRENCH FLAIR


Red, blue and stripes all comes together in this awesome t-shirt I bought from Jet the other day. I love the denim details and mixed stripes so flippin much!

HIPSTER SUPERMAN


That's what my husband said about this outfit this morning... The brightest of blue skinny jeans are new from Jet, and "this old thing" shirt has been shown before during the colder months of this year. This outfit sure makes a statement.

BIRTHDAY BOOTS


Thanx to the little guy's aunt and uncle for these great boots! He wants to wear them from sunrise to sunset, regardless of the weather. xxx

BIRTHDAY SUIT


How dapper does my little birthday boy look today. I know I'm being biased being his mother and all, but he is growing into the most handsome little fellow... Happy Birthday little man - you are the love of my life! New red skinny jeans from Jet, and I think the jersey is too - but from last season.

ANYONE FOR GOLF?


I must admit that it was a purely the lack of warm weather and clean clothes that lead me to this outfit, and I think it looks rather sporting. Checkered shorts and an elbow-patched jersey in ridiculously bright colors reminds me of typical bad golf stereotypes - and brings a little brightness into a gloomy day.

BLACK SUNDAY


As the weekend continued, so did the rain. Honestly - I can't remember seeing so much rain in all my days. The bad weather was at least good for one thing: trying on some outfits for our upcoming England visit, which I believe is going to be colder and wetter then this. So out came the brand new black skinny jeans from Jet (best place for skinny jeans for little guys) and black aeroplane themed vest from Woollies. I really like black on little buys - makes my little guy look all Rock-n-Roll!

BLUE N GREEN N GREY


We had a play-date this weekend, and the weather was playing games too - cold for a few minutes and then hot for a little while. Wearing layers was the only option, and it was nice to re-discover some old favorites like this blue, green and grey jersey I love so very much! I think the whole outfit minus the shoes are all from Edgars.

RAAAAHHHH!!!!


It's very hard to find cool pajamas for little boys. I really don't know why, but believe me I have tried. Lucky for us Granny pitched up with this dinosaur set the other day. Thanx Gran!

FLOWER POWER


Striped blue t-shirt from Pick n Pay, flowers form my garden...

WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE-CREAM!


Another hot day... another bathing-suit...
I just had to buy this cute once-piece suit from Pick n Pay - and it didn't hurt my pocket too much either - which means that the little man and myself were pretty happy with our new purchase.

WILD WATERS


There is nothing better than getting yourself and your mommy completely drenched on a very hot summers day. We had the most fun this weekend, either spent in the water or eating ice-creams! Both activities called for half-nakedness, and these Pick n Pay board shorts were just perfect for being wet and wild in.

I HEART LONDON...





A perfect shirt for my little sweetheart, blue-eyed boy. His aunty brought this back form a London visit last year, and I'm hoping to get more great London goodies for him on our visit at the end of the year.

A THNEED INDEED


"I'm being quite useful. This thing is a Thneed.
A Thneed's a Fine-Something-That-All-People-Need!
It's a shirt. It's a sock. It's a glove. It's a hat.
But it has OTHER uses. Yes, far beyond that.
You can use it for carpets. For pillows! For sheets!
Or curtains! Or covers for bicycle seats!"

 
-Words from The Lorax by Dr. Seuss.

MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPER



Saving the day in blue in grey. That's mommy's little helper there drowning watering the succulents I have invested a lot of time into hoping that they will fill out and look stunning by summer. Oh well... This cool t-shirt with buttons and pocket detail was another great buy from Woollies, and the striped shorts you can see if you look super closely are from last year and somewhere.

SEPIA STRIPES


Have I mentioned how much we love stripes before? "Of course!" is what the little man would say. The same thing he says when you ask him anything, like: "Do you want to wear this nice shirt mama bought for you today?"

JUNGLE-JIM


We love summer - yes we do! It's so nice and warm and nice to wear new summer clothes and no shoes and eat lollies and play outside all day long. The little man looks properly decked out for a busy summer's day in his cargo shorts with matching cap, and clashing orange-striped Adidas t-shirt that his granny bought him a loooooooong while ago. A man on the move indeed.

TWINKLE LITTLE STAR


These jim-jams are just too cute and super cozy too. Great for these cool but not cold evenings in spring... I bought this one and another from Edgars the other day... They really have some great clothes there at the moment.

FANCY MAN



My Edgars card took a bit of a hit this week, but who can blame me for wanting to add these cool anchor print shorts and summer shoes to the little guy's wardrobe...

THIS MOOSE BELONGS TO ME


The little man has this great book by Oliver Jeffers, and now a matching jersey too. He is quick to point out the brightly colored little moose on the front which matches the awesome elbow patches! Wish I bought this jersey in different colors when was last at Mr Price...

SPRING THING


This week's weather has been the best! I looooooooove summer, and so does small man here. Today is the first day that he got to wear shorts again, and run around barefoot and he just loved it so much! To celebrate the good weather, I took him for a much needed haircut, and a ride around on a pony with a sticky lollypop in hand. Happy Spring!

GREY DAY


Clamber Club sent me an SMS last week saying that the kids have to wear one color form head to toe for colors day. This was a great opportunity for me to get the little guy into his grey onesie (and grey shoes), this being my most favorite color in the whole world! He looks so cute in this onesie from Naartjie... it makes me quite sad that he is almost too big to wear these for much longer.

BETWEEN THE LINES


We are going to have a white Christmas in England, which has been quite hard for me to get my head around. It just doesn't make sense to buy winter clothes for summer, but the sales have helped to make buying these a little easier. This blue and beige hoody is one of my new favorites from the Edgars haul, and roomy enough to but a thermal vest under for extra warmth. We are really starting to look forward to this holiday! Can't wait to do some sale shopping over there too!

MONSTER MUNCH


The little guy's granny brought this super soft gown around a while ago, and we finally had the chance to let him wear it around the house. I think we might have to pack it away again or the little man might get snuggled to pieces. Thanx granny for the softest monster cuddles ever!

CLEAN BEAN


I went to my new favorite shop - The Crazy Store - the other day for some cheap retail therapy, and found this awesome apron to keep my little guy clean. It's been great during a very messy baking session as well as a finger, hand, leg, arm, tummy, whole body painting session too.

S*A*L*E


It's been a while I know. This time my excuse is that my work laptop has been upgraded, so getting all my files and photos onto this computer has been a huge pain. But the important thing is that it's done now, and I'm blogging again. In this photo, the little man is modelling one of his new jerseys I bought for him from the winter sales. He still needs to work on his "Blue Steel" look, but at least you can see the awesome navy, red and white knit detail. This is my favorite new jersey, form Jet at a massively reduced price, and oh so soft and cuddly.

TOP TO TOE


I managed to squeeze in an hour at the mall the other day, and scored big time with all the sales going on. This jersey on sale at a super low-low price at Edgars, and they match the little guy's high-tops perfectly. All my bests things rolled into one jersey - stripes, grey and it's cheap! Can't wait to show you all the other things we got. Also can't wait for the Woollies sale to start!

RUGGER BUGGAR


I don't know why, but this striped top reminds me of old school Rugby. Just need some white shorts and long socks and... actually maybe not. Maybe just the top is enough.

WELL WELL WELL...


... it's about time the little guy stepped into his Wellies. I got this cheap and cheerful pair from Arbee's in Dullstroom a while ago, a gem for cheap and cheerful treasures if you can stand digging around a little!

CASUAL KID

The little man seems to have woken up with a cold. So no dressing up, just casual and comfortable tracksuit pants and a top (matching of course) to chill out in for today. Granny got him these awesome grey Adidas with the three red stripes down the side a while ago. Thanx Gran!

Tuesday 2 July 2013

CURIOUS GEORGE


The little monkey man decided to wear this shirt besides the fact that it's way too big for him. I don't blame him though - that soft monkey face on the front is hard to resist. The shirt is a gift from granny and the Kruger National Park if I remember correctly.

SUPER CEREAL


Grey and navy. Serious colors for a serious day of finger painting. This old fashioned jersey is from Ackermans and the Navy and red shoes are from Woolworths. I'm looking forward to the sales coming up soon so we can get hold of some more winter goodies at a gooderer price.

LAYERS AND LAYERS AND LAYERS



Man it was cold this weekend. We decided to go for a walk in the park on Sunday morning and had to all wear so many layers we looked like a family of Michelin men. Our little boy was particularly cozy in his super warm Phoebe and Foe jacket which was another one of those amazing presents from a really good friend. I know these jackets don't come cheap so we are really chuffed to have such a warm, useful and fancy item in the cupboard.

BEST FOOT FORWARD


Another cool pair of shoes! Yes, the little guy is spoiled... but it's not just me buying him clothes. These blue and green beauties are from our famous friends, Angie and Shane and they rock! Thanx friendies!

Tuesday 11 June 2013

WOOLLY MONSTER


I have posted about both these leggings and the cozy jersey before, but the combination of the two was just so picture perfect, I had to blog about them today. These legging really have been a great investment! I thinks this outfit is going to get a lot of wear this winter.

IN DADDY'S SHOES


My husband bought these Vans for our boy a while ago, and he is so happy that they finally fit. I think he bought them from Zando while he bought himself his millionth pair of black Vans. I'm not kidding here - my husband has more black Vans that I think Madonna has bra's,

PAC MAN


I popped into Ackermans the other day and just had to buy this jersey! It's neon, it's retro, it's warm, and it's all things good! I just love Ackermans. They have to coolest clothes for little ones.

MAD MATTER


The cold is a nice excuse to wear a hat, and this little guy has so many hats to choose from. I especially like this grandpa-inspired grey and navy one I bough ages ago - can't even remember where I got it from. It rounds of his entire old-man look nicely!

FOOTLOOSE


I know it's been a long time since I have posted a cute picture of a fab outfit, but we were away for a week, and have been battling Coxsackievirus at my house, which has been the complete opposite of a holiday. Here's a little picture from our beach holiday, starring the little guy in one of the pants my mom cut the feet off and hemmed for us (thanx again mom!). I promise to make a better effort next week when everything is back to nortmal - I hope...

PATCH ADAMS


I'll be honest - it's flippin hard to take a photo of a busy toddler, trying to showcase the amazing detail on this Mr. Price jersey. So sorry about the blurry shot, but appreciate the elbow patches and double breasted buttons in all it's grey glory!
