So many things I learnt from my mom, and I wish I had more time to learn so much more… 

Matching t-shirts by Baby Touch – they have a cute range and they are super cool. 

Sandals by our favs Shooshoos in the Pantone colour of the year 😊

The outtakes – I did not want to shoot my toes as I let Sky paint them and they were a mess and I nearly fell on my arse – photos are not always perfect and neither are we.
