Elly's The Horse Parade CNY Collection {Giveaway}

Christmas and New Year's Day are behind us, but there's still no time to rest because we are speeding on to Chinese New Year!

As the shops did their quick change over to take all the Christmas music off their playlist and replace it with the dreaded dong-dong-chiang music, we are immediately faced with the two most important questions for the season: What are we going to EAT? And what are we going to WEAR? (Also, how am I going to manage our usually manic CNY schedule, though that's a totally different post altogether!)

While I merrily contemplate how I'm going to squeeze in as much yu sheng as possible during this period, the other problem of what to wear, or at least what the kids are going to wear has been easily resolved, thanks to Elly.

Hot on the heels of their highly successful 2013 Absolutely Elly collection comes Elly's latest Chinese New Year offering: The Horse Parade! As a nod to the fact that it'd be the year of the Horse this year, this entire collection has been created from 6 different exclusively designed fabrics featuring horses and horse-themed icons. And to ensure that there'll be something for everyone, the collection comes in 32 mind-boggling styles. I love that the collection has been designed to provide variety and be wearable the year round, so there aren't just cheongsams and more cheongsams, but also dresses and a blouse-skirt combi for girls with enough redness to be appropriate for Chinese New Year. And in true Elly-fashion, there are options for boys too. Not just shirts this year but also berms! And the best part for this mummy? There are plenty of boy-girl matching sets. Yay. 

The only problem: Everything is so nice I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to get!

Here are some of the matching brother-sister options:

#1 -- Noey: Mandarin-collared shirt in Red Horses ($45/49) | Meips: Cheongsam in Red Horses ($65/69)

#2 -- Meips: Cheongsam in White Horses ($65/69) | Noey: Mandarin-collared Shirt in White Horses ($45/49)

 #3 -- Meips: Cheongsam in Pastel Horses ($65/69) | Noey: Mandarin Collared Shirt in Red ($45/49) and Berms in Bright Horses ($39/$42). For that same-same-but-different look.

I must admit it wasnt 't my favourite to start with but the pastel horses print looks really sweet on Meips!

#4 -- Meips: Flutter Blouse in Red ($39) and Twirly Skirt in Pastel Horses ($45) | Noey: Mandarin Collared Shirt in Red ($45/49) and Berms in Bright Horses ($39/$42)

Want something for Chinese New Year but don't want a cheongsam? This is one of my favourite options for girls: the Red Flutter Blouse and Twirly Skirt combi, which I think looks absolutely adorable! She paired it herself with her red boots which I think gives the whole outfit a certain attitude. Love.

#5 -- Noey: Mandarin Collared Shirt in Red ($45/49) and Berms in Bright Horses ($39/$42) | Meips: Tinkerbell in Pastel Horses ($52)

#6 -- Noey: Mandarin Collared Shirt in Red ($45/49) and Berms in Red Horses ($39/$42) | Meips: Tinkerbell in Red Horses ($52)

If you ask Meips which is her favourite dress, she'd tell you it's the Tinkerbell. And her favourite feature? The pockets! Good for keeping those angpows, I say. With the ruffles and the pretty ribbon trimming, it's one of my favourite designs too.

I'm sure you can see why it took me really long to finalise what I wanted to get! And yes, it included a Tinkerbell for Meips too, which she chose herself.
