We knew we had a sartorial winner when we selected the Zara trf green military jacket for theprevious Yummy Mummies style spread. So just imagine our pleasant surprise when, on page 100 of the July edition of Harper’s Bazaar Malaysia (see insert below) the Army Green Jacket was featured as a “Must Buy” item!

We don't usually toot our own horns, but we will proudly admit that the article is indeed an endorsement of the TaiTaiTwins’  eye for style.  As the saying goes…great minds think alike!! So be sure to check in here often for more stylish picks and smart buys ;-)

"Clothes make the man. Naked people have no influence on society." - Mark Twain

Even if she’s never won an Oscar, scored a #1 hit or run a mega-successful fashion empire, mums are the biggest celebrities within each of their families, for they truly make the world a better place. There’s nothing better than being gifted with their love and attention, having their shoulder to cry on or their extra special hugs and kisses.

For this doting mom, going glam isn't a look reserved for the red carpet; it's her everyday style. Whether its fro-yos with the boys or shopping for haute couture, she spoils herself as much as she spoils her kids!

Victoria on who she credits as her style icon: "To my mum - my first fashion guru who taught me how to sew, showed me how clothes should fit and told me never to wear horizontal stripes and never to eat beetroot because it stains. Most importantly she taught me how to enjoy being a girl."

Victoria on mommy-duty: “I travel a fair amount, and when I'm here in LA, everything revolves around the kids. So if I'm not working, I go to the school and help serve lunches to the children. They just love that. It's like, Oh, there's Mummy serving me!”

From running the New York City marathon to walking the red carpet, Katie does it all with style. Of course, her favorite person to accessorize is little Suri, who occasionally out dresses her mum and whose shoe collection probably rivals that of a certain Mrs. Marcos!

Katie and Suri love to get all mitchy-matchy and often step out sporting hers-and-hers outfits, which are apparently from Katie’s Holmes and Yang clothing line which the actress launched recently with her stylist. Matching outfits can appear tacky but when you’re a mother/daughter pair as cute as these two….

Katie on being a mom: “Motherhood has been the most amazing experience – in an instant you become strong. You have to be a little bit wiser; it's the most important job in the world."

There are days when a regular t-shirt simply won't cut it. When that happens, it's time to reach for the always-appropriate, go-to beloved favorite; which is, what else? The signature Ralph Lauren polo shirt. This quintessential polo shirt, arguably, can be considered as American as the proverbial apple pie. According to the official website, it now comes in over 100 colors—from heathers to neons—to appeal to the hippest teens and the yuppiest corporate types and offering them as many options as a painter’s palette.

Not a bad achievement for a fella who was never formally trained as a fashion designer! A sales position at Brooks Brothers was Ralph Lauren’s first foray into fashion before opening a men’s tie store 40 years ago, where he sold his designs under the Polo brand.Today Polo Ralph Lauren is a billion-dollar public company that is traded on the New York Stock Exchange and whose logo, a jaunty equestrian with a cocked polo mallet, has been identified in a consumer survey as one of the world’s most recognizable and desirable.

1. Skinny Fit Polo (AC180) SOLD

No matter if you're revamping your wardrobe or building it for the first time, it's always important to have a handful of “stuff-I-wear-when-I-don’t-know-what-to-wear” items. Ralph Lauren's Skinny Fit Polo easily fits the bill: it's simple, chic, and totally classic! This slim-fit polo shirt in soft lilac is a fantastic go-to piece. Shirt has two-button placket with ribbed polo collar and armbands. Buttons are embossed with brand name. The embroidered pony accents the left chest. Size M. 100% Cotton.

2. Men’s Polo Shirt with Crest (AC19) SOLD

Help your man approximate that dashing polo player look with this grey men’s polo shirt. Shirt is finished with an embroidered crest and "R.L.P.C. 1967" verbiage on the left chest for an athletic flourish. Applied "3" patch accents the right sleeve. Never been worn but without tag. This shirt comes in XL but the fit is somewhat smaller. 100% Cotton.

Btw, here’s a little piece of polo shirt trivia: The embroidered number traces its heritage to the traditional uniform of professional polo players. The players are assigned a position, which is designated by the numbers from 1 to 4 and displayed on team jerseys during a match. The player in position number 3 is usually the most experienced player on the team. (Source: style.ralphlauren.com)

You’d probably noticed by now our fixation on Ralph Lauren. But can you blame us? He somehow has got a knack for mixing comfort with fashion, and apart from his iconic polo shirts and luxe sportswear collection, Ralph Lauren does classic and long lasting styles really well too, as you’ll soon learn:

1. Ralph by Ralph Lauren long sleeved button down shirt (AC181) SOLD

No matter what fashion diktats throw at you, be rest assured that the classic white shirt will always see you through.

Size US2. 100% Cotton.

2. Ralph Lauren Purple Label striped t-shirt (AC182)

Although some people tend to shy away from horizontal stripes, in our humble opinion there are multiple reasons why everyone should own one a striped tee: it's casual, easy to wear, and very versatile! Accented with slim beige stripes that gives off a feminine but athletic look, this blue short-sleeved round neck shirt is rendered in sleek, breathable material for maximum ease of movement and a body-conscious silhouette.
