Good Morning! Now, of course we are all busy either finding out how our week will play out or searching Pinterest to entertain the kids who are home from school. An impossible situation that just does not have a solution.

There is no right or wrong.
And therefore I am here with the same mission as always: Sharing interesting, lovely, and new things for when you have a few spare minutes to unwind. Nothing more, nothing less.

And since the temperatures are on the rise and the sun makes appearances too, we are ready to ditch our winter boots for something more light. As well as more sweet!

And what is better than the classic Mary Jane style that comes in all colours of the rainbow these days.

What is a Mary Jane?

Mary Jane’s are originally shoes that feature a strap over the instep with an adjustable buckle fastening so that you can find the perfect fit. They appeared in the early 20th century and were typically made of black leather or patent leather. You will also find a broad and rounded toe-box, and thin out-soles.

Please find my selection of 12 wonderful pairs of Mary Jane’s. For all ages and in a lovely variety of colours:

1. Black patent with a cute white stitching. Very chic.

2. S W E E T! Pink and patent*. I would mix them with a cool pair of jeans – cool girl look.

3. Classic t-bat style in radiant red*. Love it!

4. Leopard style* for little fashionistas. (on mid season sale right now)

5. Forest green. A great colour that you do not see that often.

6. You can never be wrong with a tanned leather shoe*. Never!

Six more gorgeous Mary Jane shoes for your children:

7. Oh, that colour. Since I love mustard*, this is probably my favourite pair of Mary Jane’s.

8. Super soft baby Mary Jane’s with these super sweet Liberty laces*.

9. Great Vintage style shoe* and that adorable blue. Perfect!

10. When you are not sure which colour to choose – go for white*. It works with everything. And with the cute flower details these shoes are to cute for words.

11. Eco-friendly vegetable tanned leather shoes* for babies in beautiful navy. (and more lovely colours available)

12. Rose gold* to give your outfit that perfect little extra touch.

We are starting the week with fashion again. Wearable, chic, and cool clothing that is presented through a very happy and jolly lookbook.

Wander n Wonder is a beautiful brand founded by Hilda Yim and based in Hong Kong. Established in 2017, and inspired by a love of travel as a family. Hilda realised that curious minds love adventure and learning about other cultures through food, music, art and street life.

‘Whether it’s Africa, Japan or Mexico, we pay homage to their traditions and embrace their language and lifestyles. By interpreting it through a child-like perspective. Wander always, wonder often.’

Therefore, each collection is made for adventurous and curious children, inspired by the lifestyle and tradition of one country. Have a look through the new collection and I am sure these colourful garments and graphic prints will appeal to you:

‘On our journey to discovering the next adventure, we are continually inspired to design quirky and comfortable pieces that will be loved by kids.’

Hilda is not concerned about trends, as this fuels consumerism and fast fashion. That is why she creates whatever pulls on her heart strings. And by manufacturing in small batches, sustainability is always on her mind.
And the most obvious way in achieving this goal is by creating collections to cater for both hemispheres. Collections that are indented to order, and once they’re gone – they’re gone.

The brand also works with Plan International and donates 2% of their profits to programs that support children within the local community.

But now I want to share my favourites, because you often ask what my stand out pieces are. For this collection I do love the pink overalls (great for boys too!) because they are super cute and so versatile.
And then, this cats prints dress* with the peter pan collar. Loving the very traditional collar with the comic inspired print. Very cool! And the shape is super comfortable as well.
