That’s right, Mother’s Day is just around the corner and it’s the one time of the year that all the Mums around the world get to let their hair down and do exactly what they’ve been wanting to do all year… absolutely nothing. Jokes aside, Mums really are the super-hero, knight in shining armour and Queen of the castle all in one – so it’s that time of year to treat them like it. So let’s get to it!

For the Mums who have been waiting all year for their breakfast in bed moment, this is the gift idea for her. Pop into Original UGG Australia and find her the perfect slipper. Whether she’s a classic boot style, or wants a fancy fluffy slipper you can’t go wrong with the sweet, soft comfort of an Ugg.
There’s always time for a bit of sparkle in Mum’s wardrobe. Forever New is sporting the most gorgeous array of sparkly dresses and accessories. Whether she’s got a special occasion coming up, or you just want to add a little shine to her day – Forever New has you covered. However, no glam outfit is complete without the perfect scent. Chemist Warehouse has the largest collection of luxury perfumes at an affordable price. If you really want to step up your game, check out the latest women’s collection from Seiko watches to find a timeless piece she’ll have for decades to come.
For something simple and thoughtful, pop into Edition Roasters at MidCity, because coffee and a sweet treat delivery in bed will never go a stray. Let’s cross our fingers that the sun will shine so you can take Mum and your cup of coffee on a walk down to the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens, only a short stroll from MidCity.
Now it couldn’t be a true Mother’s Day without honouring our pet Mums. For the dog Mummas out there, they’ll need the perfect pair of sneakers to take their pup out for their daily walk. Skechers have the highest rating for fun and comfort all stacked into a sneaker – in our humble opinion. Whether it’s a bright pink or baby blue, she’ll be catching smiles from across the park – and it won’t just be for the pup by her side!
Now we can’t let our cat Mum’s be left behind! Snuggle up on the couch with a new matching tracksuit and hoodie. Culture Kings and Rebel Sport will make it hard to choose, but you’ll find the perfect style for every cat Mama. A cup of tea and a kitty on her lap? We’d argue she couldn’t be happier.
Treating Mum to a pamper day at MidCity may be exactly what she’s waited for. Without even thinking, Leah’s Waxworks and My Healthy Massage are situated right next to each other on our lower ground floor. Mum can go from getting her nails done at Leah’s and walk straight into a massage next door – perfection!
Now you’ve got your gift, go tell all the Mums killing it out their just how much you love them. Go on, do it.

Winter is well and truly here and we’re not mad at it at all. Not with the gorgeous colour tones hitting our stores. A few simple tones matched with the right textures and small design details make facing the brisk winter mornings more bearable. 

Pantone named ‘Living Colour’ (Pantone 16-456) as THE shade for 2019. The colour brand describes the colour as “an animating and life-affirming shade of orange with a golden undertone that was all about optimism—a much-needed attribute of late”. Yum, sign us up!

First things first, winter doesn’t mean you need to pack your favourite footwear into those ugly vacuum bags (you know the ones!) in favour of warmer options. Give your summer kicks a winter update and pair them with some cute socks or tights. Try these cult favourites – Grace Two-Part Pointed Court Heels⁠ from Forever New.

After the last few seasons focusing on sharp, tight silhouettes, bold colours and touchable textures, suiting is now in. Think soft colours and soft cuts, with light textures to break it up. Buttermilk yellow, heather grey, oatmeal and sage green silks and cottons, with trousers that softly pool just the tiniest bit around the legs. 

Clear out your crisp whites and oyster silvers because your new best friend oat is here for Winter 2019. A reminder of summer linen, this shade is the new neutral. Wear paired with deeper tones like olives, navies or terracottas, buttermilk yellow or sage green.

So this winter lets skew neutral! Let go of the traditional colour blocking and a pop of colour and go neutral all the way.  Hey, we understand the need for the familiar, so add your favourite red lip. We suggest Flower Mix N Matte Lip Duo Red Velvet from Chemist Warehouse.
