What Sassy Mama Wants: Think Pink For October

Pastel to neon, pink is gorgeously feminine and synonymous with everything we love, from candy floss to bubblegum, watermelon to ballet shoes and plenty in between. Not only a current cat walk trend, pink is more importantly the colour of Breast Cancer Awareness, making it the colour of the month and the ideal time to celebrate this beautiful hue while supporting a very Sassy cause.
Here are a few of our current very favourite things – guaranteed to leave you tickled pink mamas.

1. Splendid drape Stretch Jersey Top AED 416
A wear-with-everything basic in a gorgeous upbeat bright-pink hue. Pair with jeans for a casual school run look or add heels and statement necklace to take you into an evening out. We especially love the batwing sleeves (oh so flattering mamas!)

2. Accesorize Multi Technicolour Chandelier Earrings AED 50
They’re sparkly, they’re pink and they don’t cost the earth – what’s not to love mamas!? Perfect for adding a little razzle dazzle to your jewellery box and a hint of bling to your look without the need to rob a bank or wait for real diamonds (although we do love those too.)

3. Casio Classic Watch Rose AED 270
We actually won’t be happy until we get one of these on our wrists – ok it’s fickle but how cool is it to be able to tell the time without relying on your phone – and the Casio Classic is just that, classic, cool and now available in a rose colour. We want. Now.

4. Original Wayfarer Matte GRAY/PINK gradient  AED 590
Wayfarers come in pink mamas – who knew?! Around since the 1950’s this iconic shape has appeared in countless movies and has adorned the faces of everyone from Madonna to Tom Cruise (his were black but the pink ones are far cuter).

5. PLT Neon Cut Out Clutch AED 395
With a crystal embellished front flap and a detachable shoulder strap (so carry as a clutch or use as a cross over bag) this gorgeous little number is big enough for all your essentials (lipstick, phone, babywipes – you know how it is mamas). A little pop of colour to brighten your day.
