Spring into Easter…

For those who know D’Niyah, you know she was born to chill in front of the camera.

We have a habit of putting her confidence, cute little smiles and organic poses to good use, while making memories in the process.

Hence it has been a habit since her birth, to herald every season or occasion with a photo shoot. Her daily shots are merely impromptu practice sessions.

To mark the beginning of spring and Easter this year she has done a total of two shoots, with one of our highly recommended photographers, Nikki Cee of NCee|Photography and Picture People respectively.

Her outfits consist of a mixture of pastels, Summer brights and bold floral prints, to reflect the Spring and Easter themes. To be economical I’ve also made sure they can be worn throughout Spring and Summer.

In her Spring shoot she is wearing a soft pink dress with pleats and ruffle details from Target, a pale yellow cardigan from Old navy. Themed with a floral print purse also from Target, shocking yellow ballet flats, Old navy  and an owl pendant necklace.

Butterfly Spring…

I’m not sure if I ever mentioned how much Summer and I LOVE pink and butterflies…

But we do… And, as my pride won’t allow me to strut around in pink outfits daily, I submit Summer to it all… Of course she isn’t even slightly bothered by it! After all, Pink was made specifically for her, right!?!

Second weekend in a row and first weekend of her school’s Easter break, and yet another birthday party to attend. Talk about Ms. Popular.

With the awareness of what kiddy parties give, I wanted her to go for a very casual look. No fuss, just something thrown together, very simple but super cute.

I gave Summer the chance to dictate her preference, she picked a denim look cotton dress, one of her fave dresses from our most recent spring haul.

As it was a bit chilly out, I chose a very girly pair of pastel pink leggings with butterfly appliqués to keep the chill off her legs.

A pair of matching glittery, pastel pink, t-bar ballerina flats, pink butterfly patterned tote and a pastel pink n gold butterfly beaded necklace pulled the look together.

Voila! We had put together a cute Easter themed outfit, without even setting out to. Then the cherry on the cake/ egg in the nest… a little gold butterfly clip on her bun.

Pastel charm…

Every little ‘stylish’ girl ought to have at least a tiny splish splash of pastel shades dripping from their closets this Spring/Summer.

As island girls, we normally attach playful neon brights and jewel tones to sunshine. To us it screams, happy and carefree.

However over the past year, whilst we still embrace the bold colors, we have developed an appreciation for the total opposite as well. Apart from the fact that it is bang on trend this season, infusing pastel shades into an outfit, almost always guarantees that a lasting impression is left.

Regardless of the styling, these shades whisper, ‘fresh’, ‘modern’, ‘soft’ and ‘girly’ and will give any outfit an effortless feminine feel. What is even more interesting is the fact that no matter your skin tone/color there is a pastel to suit.

One shade which compliments D’Niyah is pastel pink. This is evident in her candy shop inspired outfit she donned for her Saturday play day.

Her pink skinny fit trousers were paired with a simple pastel pink, polka dotted blouse, gold ballet flats and a nicely fitted parka.
