KooL KidZ – A Winter Wonder

Published by Elizabeth under KooL KidZ

Hi there,
 Here is a picture of my two kidlets, showing off their winter LaToriana purchases and out in style in Castlemaine and Bendigo recently!
(Ruben loves the Lambykins Urban set of cap and blanket  and loves wearing and playing with his Cheeky Little  Soles shoes as you can see above)
Skye is 4 and Ruben is 8 months old. People keep stopping me everywhere to ask about her Three Little Trees duffel coat  (below) and her warm pink Tea Princess hat.
 
Skye loves practical comfy clothes, going out for hot chocolates, is an apple eating freak, does colouring and puzzles and loves riding her scooter around our kitchen. Her favourite foods are roast anything with veges and gravy. Ruben loves his ball with holes in it for easy holding and a squeaky monkey and adores his Aussie rules footy. He is the only boy in our families so he has to! They adore each
other. Ruben seems to love white fish blended with any vege.
A funny story recently:
Whilst eating an icecream, Skye started to politely giggle when a man came and sat down behind me. She tried so hard to stop but the harder she tried the worse it got! I turned and saw a poor man with an enlarged eyeball. She concentrated on her icecream and was very polite but we got up to leave anyway. I asked her to talk to me about it, about why she found it funny. After clearly feeling uncomfortable she stated “that man back there, I think he was playing Eye Spy with my Big Eye!!”
Our favourite recipe is french toast or

This MEATLOAF

which satisfies all: Blend for Ruben, tomato sauce for Skye and veges for us:

500g lean mince
1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
1/2 cup oatbran
1 beaten egg
1 medium onion

1/4 cup of finely chopped capsicumIf YOU have a great tip, recession buster, saving money advice or a great recipe… send it in. 

2 stalks chopped celery

2 tbsp flax seeds

1 crushed garlic clove

1/2 teaspoon salt

pepper to taste

SIMPLY

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, spread into a baking dish so about

2 inches high, spray with olive oil and place in pre-heated oven at 180 degrees.

Play for 45 minutes!!!

Enjoy being out and about this Winter!

Cool, Hip and Funky designer BOYS clothes for Christmas

Published by Elizabeth under Kids and Fashion

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!

If there is anything I can help with give me a call or email me at info@latoriana.com.au….  otherwiwise

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….
