Sweet Lilly Maternity ~ Maternity Wear

Published by Elizabeth under Mums and Dads

Sweet Lilly Maternity – bringing back the sexy to maternity wear

 

 

 

 

Online maternity store Sweet Lilly Maternity is now positioned as Australia’s premier shop at home site for racy, fashion savvy maternity clothes, baby wear, breastfeeding clothes and designer baby shower gifts, and La Toriana has always loved this store.

 

With a store offering of over 50 different labels, Sweet Lilly has one of the largest collections of sexy, stylish and affordable maternity collections in Australia today with a cult following of loyal customers who continue to purchase well after the birth of their children. 

 

Imported labels from the UK, USA and Europe, as well as domestic favourites are what have given Sweet Lilly the ‘edge’ over other maternity stores, as well as the exclusive and highly sought after designer maternity evening dress label Lilly B of Sydney.

 

“Our strategy is to choose colourful, exclusive, top quality, exciting and edgy maternity styles for our store and offer them at realistic prices,” says store manager Sally Hainey.  “We keep our overheads low in order to pass on the savings to our customers, rather than inflate the price,” she adds.   

 

“We are always mindful that not all of our customers have a hefty wallet or can justify paying hundreds of dollars for maternity jeans or designer maternity dresses,” she says. 

 

Customer service is a main concern to this company and to this end, they also offer a made to measure service on exquisite maternity evening gowns and maternity bridal wear with the stylish designer of exclusive maternity dress label Lilly B of Sydney.

 

Sweet Lilly orders are dispatched the same day and clients usually receive their orders the very next day via express post delivery or personal courier– you can’t get better service than that!  And if that wasn’t enough, all orders are gift wrapped free of charge.

 

Sweet Lilly Maternity recently scored 4 ½ 5 out of 5 in the online Beauty & Lace Business Awards and this adds testament to their commitment to customer service and superior product range.

 

Sexy is another major consideration for the product offering at Sweet Lilly Maternity.  You will find a range of sexy maternity lingerie, sleepwear and breastfeeding clothes, as well as a plethora of amazing sexy maternity dresses, maternity evening wear and maternity jeans to make you feel one hot mama during your pregnancy!

 

So if your pregnancy is giving you the mama blues, take your credit card on a roller coaster ride of pure heaven and visit http://www.sweetlillymaternity.com.au for a guaranteed fix!

Kids In Style ~ Cheeky Little Soles

Published by Elizabeth under Kids and Fashion

cheeky little soles

I must say when at Kids In Style recently, it was wonderful to finally meet Lisa from Cheeky Little Soles.

For a couple months, Cheeky Little Soles were a # 1 best seller at La Toriana so to meet Lisa, the talented business mum behind the business was an utter delight.

I saw the gorgeous new range to Cheeky Little Soles and I am sure they will really delight the little girls as well as mums  out there.  They are light, stylish and extreemly affordable!

Now your little princess can have a pair of designer soft leather shoes to compliment any designer outfit.  Choose from one of the many girls  (plus many boy styles too) pairs of Cheeky Little Soles

I remember as a little girl having a pink pair just like in the pictiure above… and was relegated to tears when I no longer could fit into them.  Do you think my mum could find more?  Nope.

So I hung onto my ballet slippers til in my teens as it bought back such wonderful childhood memories.

I wonder what ever happened to them….

Mouse without a home

Still looking for a name and a home!!

Yep… Its been hard trying to keep this mouse away from the computer to check if there is anyone… someone who thinks he’s cute and has given him a name!

So… I ended up  (for both our sanity)  taking this rascal down the beach for some R & R.  we played  and splashed, went and ate fish and chips by the sea and told stories before heading back for a hot chocolate and a BBQ dinner.

We walked and walked… often not even talking, but always saying hello to one of the friendly locals walking along. (gee these locals here are nice!  you all should come here for a holiday… its fabulous!)

we walked for ages and laughed and we both actually DID relax!

This little charactor would sometimes, stop… look out into the deep blue ocean and ask  “do you really think  someone could love me”

me, the optomist I am would say “ABSOLUTLEY.  They would be crazy if they didnt… I love you!”

there would be a chuckle… and the comeback would be… “awww… but thats your job!”

We would both chuckle, and walk along … not saying a lot, but knowing soon… my dear little friend… MAY have a home”.  But I really DO love him!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The competition to name this little mouse still stands.  have you popped your suggestion in yet?
