Looking for a trendy, hip, funky and designer wear for your little boy? 

Look no further!

“Sassy and sensible” boys wear is the theme for this Summer and you will love these stylish and affordable boys clothes available online.

  Available at La Toriana is the denim boys shorts by fINNIGAN fINN.  Stunning!

 Exclusive to La Toriana is the Wild Things Of Noosa bucket hat and matching shorts in “yellow dogs” animal print, annieB’s boys Summer Pj’s, Long sleeve T by fINNIGAN fINN, Britt Design “hip” boys vest, Eternal Creation red and white striped shirt with matching shorts.  All would be great for Christmas day and family photo’s

For a Groovy, surfy, casual look Grommets T is an affordable steal, and matches well with the Grommets denim 3/4 pants.  I just love the Lazybones boys cotton PJ’s, and the Cheeky Little Soles boys leather shoes. 

 Exclusive to La Toriana is the Wild things of Noosa “Black animals” shorts with matching hat, and to match the yellow dogs hat above Wild Things of Noosa have the matching shorts available (whilst stocks last).  For any young mans party wardrobe,   boys designer clothing  from the Eternal Creations collection is a stunning addition.  Why not grab the pants, T and vest that all match in well for a layering look?

 Now boys also love accessories and below are a few of our pics to accessorise with a hip designer boys clothing range.  Penny Scallan Back pack, hats and smocks, Huggalugs in a variety of prints and colours, Bump Buddy soccer ball or Dino is great for those little bumps and bruises boys seem to get too.  A great boys gift is the L’il Ned surf coast inspired boys jewellery collection of adjustable boys necklaces and bracelets.  And.. at the end of a hard days playing (or partying) your little man can relax in his own bean chair from annieB’s.  Another great boys gift this Christmas.

Too hard to choose just one designer boys clothing piece or boys accessory?  … go on…   spoil your little boy and buy him a whole range of things.  I bet you’ll be getting kisses galore… and you so deserve it too!

For so long the many country and rural women, especially mums, have been disadvantaged when it come to shopping and buying the latest fashion trends in gifts and clothing for themselves and their kids. 

Many rural families are set amongst an isolated area, hundreds of kms to major shopping centres and the local general store with shearing supplies, drenches, stock …. just doesnt cut it.  Wanting to also be in the midst of the fashion stakes with their fellow city sisters, it was so much harder.  I remember going to a wedding in the city when i was a teenager and people looking at us as real country hicks.  We didnt have much to choose from in the country town we were in, and the prices were sky high for limited choices and clothing labels that were seasons behind.  My word… times have changed.

Elizabeth (founder of La Toriana) ….in her backyard

The internet has bridged the gap and rural women no longer need to feel isolated by geohraphy! 

The internet has fast proven invaluable on the land in farming and in and around the home.  Modern technology has helped farmers find information quickly from price of wool to the latest weather reports, keeping in touch with sister sheep stations and abilty to help in schooling of the kids.  Its also helped mums network with like minded people, do their banking and share trading online, find gluten free  recipes and how to treat aphids in the garden… organically!

The internet has helped mums save heaps of money too!

No longer do they have to take a day to drive hundreds of kms to the nearest shops to get supplies, or drive into the next biggest town to find their children clothes and gifts.  It now can be done in the comfort of their own home, and around their busy schedule. 

Buying a gift for a newborn baby, a unique childrens clothing label or even a latest fashion release was near impossible for country and rural women, unless they ordered from catalogue or made the big trip to the city.

 Women are now savvy shoppers and no longer feel the “country cousins”.  A quick “click” online, and knowing where to “surf” for latest designs, new releases and great specials are a norm now. Amazing websites like my favourite kidstylefile where you can get great kids shopping at bargain prices everyday and  Never Shopped Out which is a great shopaholics resource guide where you will find quality  womens  designer wear and accessories.   Babyology is another one that takes the leg work out of shopping to find you amazing and unique products fom around the world.

Going direct to the shoppers favourite websites, and shopping directories, is as popular now as mums sourcing inforation on baby development, farm practices and amazing recipes.  Many rural mums also belong to great forums and have networked, making lifelong friends over the internet with like minded people.  Some have used the internet whilst they were pregnant, whilst starting a new hobby and so many other life situations.  all for women is a great womens network as is one of my favourites for warmth, friendships and making new friends. 

Finding the latest Summer release of Tea Princess girls vintage clothing for instance, or trying to find a designer boys clothing collection with shorts and matching hats, like Wild Things of Noosa, is easy and quick on the internet.  It is as easy…. by doing a google search and finding these designer kids labels andwhere in Australia.  Wanting to support Australian kids fashion designers? … the internet will not only show you who they are, but also where to find their collections.

At La Toriana, we pride ourselves on bringing you quality, stylish and affordable baby and childrens designer clothing that is unique and different.  We know and understand you want to dress your precious little ones in something that is affordable stylish, and not commonly found, and you can be assured of this at La Toriana.  Come check out a great party outfit for you and the kids for this coming Christmas season …

We invite you all to grab a cuppa

 I think all the stress is getting to him…

so decided we needed a couple days away.  He just has to make sure he has the “right name”. That suits. We are amazed at how Macey was so social and chatty asking lots of people their names.   He has talked to men in suits, men in overalls, college boys in their uniform and waiters at a restaurant….. he is getting a feel for names and has a thirst for knowledge. He checks out my laptop and ponders over all the names you have submitted….    its so cute watching him.

Here is a photo taken with the doorman at The Hotel Windsor Melbourne… they chatted away for ages…. he even helped macey check out the names put forward and they came up with an idea…. (all will be revealed later)

There have been some great names put forward…..keep them coming…. he’s decided not to stress himself too much and wait til times up.  then he is going to take a few days AND “TRY THEM ALL ON” or so he says.

 we have  so far
