What Sassy Mama Wants this April: Swimsuits, Totes, Accessories and more

Travel essentials we’re coveting as we get ready for our Easter holiday!

The weather is warming up, we’ve already picked out the places we want to visit, and now we’re highlighting a few things you may want to take with you (or leave at home for safe keeping!). From totes to flip-flops, to swimsuits and more, here is a list of what Sassy Mama wants this April…

Versatile, adorable and the perfect weekender tote, we are all about State of Escape’s trendy “Escape” bag. Made of perforated neoprene fabric supported by high performance sailing rope, you can pack it full and know it’s strong enough to carry all your gear. Its internal pouch keeps your valuables safe, so it’s also great for travel.

April showers won’t give you pause this season because Cath Kidston has a backpack for your little one that is both water-resistant and super stylish! Taking inspiration from a drive through the English countryside, these fresh, flowery patterns will have your little lady looking elegant, but are sporty enough to take to school or on holiday. Got a little man? He will absolutely adore the shark pattern or other whimsical designs on hand.

Sunny, lovely and nice enough for a kid-friendly dinner out, this Bonpoint Dragee Dress in lemon yellow is something we mums always search for.

Second, its gorgeous fabric has such a sweet style your little miss will be the envy of vacation-goers everywhere!

We mamas have enough to worry about when we’re on holiday, which is why having swimwear that provides UPF 50+ protection all day long is something we can totally get behind! We’ve fallen in love with the cool retro prints featured in Sandy Feet Australia’s swimwear line. All products, such as this peacock pink rash guard, offer guaranteed sun protection that will last even through swimming, washing and wearing. You can feel good knowing your child will be protected from the harmful rays, and your kids will look great while frolicking at the beach or pool.

Velvet is the fabric of the season, and although it sounds like something we’d ideally want for autumn, these flip-flops are making us think twice. These vibrantly coloured, soft plush velvet slippers by Pagoda not only look smart, but are also some of the comfiest casual footwear you might ever own. The rubber sole makes for a confident stride, while the soft midsole actually moulds to your foot after a few wears. Splash and stain resistant and designed for long-lasting comfort and durability. Sold!

We can’t let Earth Month go by without featuring eco-friendly fashion, and H&M is one of several retail chains to make a move toward producing environmentally friendly clothing. It has launched its Conscious Exclusive selection for 2017, which feature fancy dresses and accessories for women (handbags and earrings made of recycled plastic!), as well as clothing for tots. These sweet frocks and jackets look so dapper and chic, no one would guess they were made from sustainable materials, including BIONIC® – a polyester made of plastics recycled from shoreline waste.
