This year's alternative to a suit for the little man in your life is a far more practical pants and shirt outfit, with cream canvas pants and silky cream, navy and red striped shirt. Looking at the range of togs made me realise summer is almost here—they are in plain colours, vivid emerald, royal blue and cherry red. Tiered sunfrocks are in pale ice-cream colours, with a hint of lace. The lace adds a feminine touch to the charming gingham dresses, in pink or blue and white. A new label is being introduced to Christchurch. “Angels,” and is exclusive to SIMON AND SARAH in Merivaie. The tapestry colours seen in the sunfrocks and matching hats show that this is definintelv a label to keep your eye on. SIMON AND SARAH, 203 Papanui Road.
