What Sassy Mama Wants: Palm Print Everything

We’re in love with all things palm print!

We never want summer to go away. Lucky for us, it’s sunshine all year round and that means the summer styling is here to stay in tropical Singapore! Put aside the bright colours because palm print is the latest look that’s taking over everything from shoes and bikinis to cushions and cutlery! Click through our gallery to check out our top picks.

How gorgeous would these bowls look against a marble or dark wood tabletop, mama? Having your rice or soup never looked prettier with Bowerbird’s handmade, Australian-designed bowls from the Havana Palms collection, which also includes vases, canisters and jugs with the same oversized leaf print.

Find it: Havana Palms bowls available at Shiva Designs Bespoke (by appointment only), TANGS at Tang Plaza and online at Bowerbird. 

FitFlop is already known for it’s ridiculous comfort, and now with its latest collab with fashion darling Anna Sui, we get to combine comfort-loving ergonomic footwear with some majorly playful style!

Pair these with a pair of flowy white linen pants and you’ve got your summer look sorted!

We’re loving Kipling’s Iconic Collection for summer. Every bag has a multi-functional shape and size, and we’re especially head over heels with this vibrant Cactus Garden print that’s surprisingly versatile (and adept at hiding stains — a must if you’ve got little ones underfoot)! The bag has the ability to fold and expand, taking it from stylish everyday shoulder bag to caryall for the beach or weekend getaways.

Find it: Kipling Art M in Cactus Garden available at all Kipling standalone boutiques for $219. 

This jersey bikini by Salinas promises coverage and comfort to the highest degree, mama. Look polished yet effortless while you splash around with the bubs in the pool or build sandcastles at the beach in the summer heat!

Decking out your walls with the palm print may be a bit of a commitment (though we love it in the stunning interiors of previously-reviewed restaurant Noshery), so why not start small with some cushions instead? They’ll dress up a drab sofa or bed instantly and look great against a neutral colour palette, or even with a pop of pink. Best of all, they can be custom-designed to your exact specs, then handmade and shipped direct from Australia. We know because palm print-lover Hong at Affordable Style Files has done just this for us!

Find it: Square Fox Designs cushions available at Affordable Style Files, call for prices.
