Winter Is Coming

Winter Is Coming!

Can you tell that we started watching Game Of Thrones a couple of weeks back?  I just can’t help but repeat this phrase over and over, because, well, Winter IS coming.  Not to Winterfell but to Cape Town and we need to be ready.

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to pop into Earth Child at the V&A Waterfront to feast my eyes on their latest collection for Winter and I was smitten.  Show me kids clothes that aren’t bright and smattered with every cartoon character under the sun and I’m a happy camper!

It’s no secret that we’re big fans of kids clothing that errs on the neutral side, while still being exciting for kids to wear and I think that Earth Child have pulled that off this season.  Their colour pallet #indigoskies is one of my favourite colours and all the pieces work so well together.

I like to think of these clothes as investment pieces.  Maybe you spend a little more money to get them than what you would at other stores, but you are getting so much value for money.  Not only are the clothes just better looking, but they last!  My kids are still wearing key pieces that we purchased two years ago and they still look brand new!

Obviously I couldn’t leave without making a few purchases to add their wardrobes.

I went for the dusty pink cable knit jersey with the cutest little white shorts that I actually want for myself. I bought it slightly bigger than what they can fit into now because I want them to get maximum wear out of it next Summer.  We also got a pink hooded dress and the sweetest blue cardie for Knox.  They loved it and couldn’t wait to try it on!

You definitely need to pop in next time you’re there or just order online.  The only thing that might be upset is your empty wallet.
