Colour kaleidoscope

Colour, and lots of it, is King! The latest high-end fashion magazines are clashing all sorts of bold prints. So it was with great delight I picked up this amazing and brand new jacket for $5 from the Balnarring Op Shop. Mum and I were taking my little guys, aged 7 and 4, to Pt…
