Mini Melissa + My Mini Me

Moms and our Mini Mes in Melissa and Mini Melissa

A few weeks ago, a couple of us moms and our little girls were invited to an afternoon of shoes and sweets, thanks to Mini Melissa!

The area right outside Geleia in Shangri-la East Wing was a happy riot, with girls, young and old, unable to decide on which pretty shoe we'd want to wear.

Berry tried on at least five pairs before deciding on the Mini Melissa Ultragirl + Minnie in pink.

Meanwhile, I couldn't decide between these Vivienne Westwood flats and these Ultragirl + J. Maskrey beauties!

But it wasn't all just shopping ok? We nibbled on cookies, and other treats. There was a gorgeous candy buffet too - that was eventually raided by a swarm of adorable little girls, you can just imagine the sugar rush that followed soon after.

We also did some crafty activities, like this felt passport holder, and played some games, where Berry and I got to bring home a very plushy play mat for her soon to come little bro. Oh, we were so pleased!

Part of the fun of the afternoon was that we got to play dress-up in matching outfits! Berry and I wore our signature striped shirts. A navy Saint James mariniere for me, and an orange breton shirt from J. Crew crewcuts for Berry. Perfect for a colorful little girl!

Let me tell you, Berry's Mini Melissas are her current favorite pair these days. Not only are they super cute, they're very comfortable too! It's the only thing she ever wears now, when she's not wearing her school shoes, or her PE rubber shoes. Pinky swear!

Watch out for their new designs, coming out this month and in December! There's plenty to like!

There's even a "My First Mini Melissa", the most adorable present any doting Tita or Ninang can give a newborn baby girl!
