Pink, many ways
Pink is the classic baby-girl colour, but it has many moods. Cotton-candy pink (Baby Pink) is sweet and playful. Blush with pearl and lilac (Blush Dream) is romantic and grown-up. Pink with pearls and shells (A Little Pearl) tells an under-the-sea story. Dusty rose and latte (Sugar & Spice) feels cosy and modern. And for parents who want something other than pink, lavender (Lavender Haze) is soft and dreamy.
