Bella BRONTE ~ KooL KidZ

Published by Elizabeth under KooL KidZ

Beautiful  “BELLA”  BRONTE

Above photo Bronte (8 mths)  is wearing the Tea Princess long sleeve top with lace frill and the Tea Princess white ruffled leggings.  The Dolly Up headband completes her outfit!  Thanks Hollie… these are adorable photo’s and what a stunning little girl. Bronte was the “Belle of the Ball” at the wedding, and looked adorable in her designer baby clothing that Hollie bought from La Toriana.

 oh what a beautiful photo.  Its stunning.  Little Bronte is so cute wearing a white pettiskirt from Princess Ratbag with her white long sleeve top from Tea Princess.  Mum (Hollie) attaches the vintage hairclip from Bethany’s Child.  Must say she is like a little princess.   Hollie shares her Never Fail scone recipe’s for cooks like me (who isnt great in the cooking skills department).

Black and White ~ A classic favourite

Published by Elizabeth under Kids and Fashion

These days Tiana is more fussy about what she wants to wear. 

Now dont get me wrong, she’s easy… a great all rounder when it comes to clothes!  She will wear her finest party dresses when we are out at restaurants or functions, but then loves nothing better than changing into her gumboots, shorts and singlet and going to attend the sheep with dad.  These days however she has become more vocal in what she would like to wear, rather than just accepting what I put out for her. 

I have had a few people ask me what does Tiana prefer to wear?  so  I thought over the next couple weeks will tell you!

Fist up I thought it fitting since The Little ONE Baby magazinephoto shoot was so recent, let you know what Tiana picked out.  It was without any hesitation at all she chose the TikiBoo Kidz  black and white skirt.  Its a full skirt and she has worn it many, many times,  Its so comfortable she would tell me and I can twirl and twirl.  Its not frilly or tizzy, but more classic which she loves. 

Next was this singlet.  Gorgeous designer momie et enfant.  We have had this singlet for 8 months now and she loves it.  It does go really well with her jeans for a casual look and this skirtor a party outit.  Shoes… she wanted bare feet and Lisa Nankervis the photographer for Little One baby magazine was very accommodating.  Tiana loved that she didn’t have to wear shoes! (Thank you to Little ONE baby magazine for allowing me to use this photo and to Lisa who she often talks about the BEST photo shoot)

A few snaps I took above shows a bit more of the momie et enfant singlet.  Tiana loved it so much I actually asked if we could stock it!!!!!  I just know many other little girls will love this vintage look as much as Tiana does.  The motif at the front is a gorgeous little bird, and as you can see there is a motif on the back as well.  Antique lace capped sleeve completes the outfit.  You can find the momie et enfant singlet and other items stocked at la Toriana here. Like the headband it is from Bethany’s Child.

TikiBoo Kids clothing has always taken Tiana’s interest, but none more than this skirt.   You can see by the age of Tiana how long she has had it… a year at least at it washes up beautifully every time. Its a true testament to the quality of the materials and garment by TikiBoo Kids.

As you can see from the age of Tiana… we have had this same skit quite sometime.. and yes its the same skirt.  TikiBoo Kids use a high quality material and washes up beautifully time after time!  Team beautifully with a White or  black and is tran seasonal so can be worn anytime of the year!

Want to see what other design  Tiana has been wearing? .. check back here over the next couple weeks

after the photo shoot with Little ONE Baby magazine, we had a picnic and Tiana rode her bike through Rosalind Park.

 

You can get this look too.. pop onto the La Toriana website today. 

Black singlet "Vintage bird" by momie et enfant Maia white Summer dress with crochet sleeves and motif Dainty Damask Black & White Boutique Skirt with Sash. Immy organza headband by Bethany's child "Fairyland Magic" girls designer dress by TikiBoo Kids Bronte Blush rose hair clip

I do I do (Part 3) THE Fashion Parade

Published by Elizabeth under Kids and Fashion

How gorgeous!

there were flashes from Photographers.  Smiles and “ooh’s and ahh’s”  from the crowd.  There were envious stares from the other couple girls in traditional flower girl dresses and there were many people asking  “where can I get that?”   There were sparkling eyes and dancing feet, giggles and everyone was on a high. 

It was of course… 

 The  I do I do Bridal Fashion Parade

and the La Toriana models stole the show!!

Ok… we have introduced you to the La Toriana models,  Matilda, Innes, Bridget and Emerson… who recently were involved int he Ido I do wedding expo and Fashion Parade.  You read Part 1, and Part 2,  you have seen the girls being made up hair and make up… and in some of the outfits back stage….. 

so here… is the amazing catwalk fashion parade by these starlets, and wow… what professionals they were!  Our little ladies were seen amongst the beautiful wedding gowns that came from near and far and were modelled by gorgeous catwalk models.  The music, lights, stage and photographers were all dazzling to the girls and there was not one bit of nerves!!  They all looked beautiful and ever so pretty!

Yes, the gorgeous girls did steal the show at this event… look past into the crowd and see the audience beaming and absolutely loving it!  So many people commented later that they girls and the outfits were amazing.  

  • “So refreshing to see something different” was one comment,
  • “stunning… exceptional” was another
  • “The Best fashion parade seen here to date” and another
  • ” the traditional white flower girls are so old hat”  and another,
  • “where can I get THAT WHOLE outfit” was  from a couple others!!

Matilda, Innes, Bridget and Emerson were amazing. 

The girls definately loved it all and I cannot wait to have another photo shoot or fashion parade with them again!  Many thanks to the professional photographers Annie Warren and Rikki Pool who took photo’s from the front of the stage… and if you look closely… you can see me in the pic below left taking photo’s from behind and back stage! 

so… without further ado… here they are….

Fashions and current trends  change with time, we all know that…and with bridal fashions and  trends changing in  wedding gowns, accessories and venues, I wondered how much emphasis or thought is taken into the junior bridesmaids and flower girls.  

We often hear the big magazines talking about the wedding dresses, their current trends in fashion, and inspirations, we hear about the changes in fashions for the Mothers of the Brides and even the guys get a mention…. but very, VERY rarely do we hear about the changes in the current trends in  children’s fashion for the junior bridesmaids and flower girls.

Forever the traditional white satin long dresses for little girls has been seen in so many weddings.  Rarely has there been a change. 

Brides are savvy and eclectic these days, and are looking for something different. 

 As with their own wedding dress, they want something beautiful, stylish, unique and complimenting for their whole bridal party too.  Many brides are now looking for something “different” for the junior members of the bridal party.  Something  away from the traditional white satin flower girls dresses, something that the girls them selves will feel special in and be able to wear again and are cost effective. 

Yep, gone are days where the little girls are wearing the stiff, restricting, long white dresses in weddings.  Sure, there are many who do like this look, but more and more are looking for something unique.  Lets face it… pop a little girl in a restricting, long, constraining dress and she is most likely to feel uncomfortable, not be so co operative. 

Pop her into something more flowing, comfortable, and they are more likely to be relaxed, happy and entertaining.  That’s what weddings are all about isn’t it?  There is nothing like a natural smile from an onlooker at a wedding watching a pretty little flower girl twirling, laughing and happy. 

There are some gorgeous designer labels in childrens fashions that are unique, boutique and ideal for many different styles of weddings.  They are not necessarily aimed at weddings, nor come with that “bridal” price tag.   

This is what many brides in 2010 are looking for. 

No, I am not talking the “chain store” type dresses that are made for the masses, though these too have a place in many weddings.  Brides want something more unique.  Limited edition styles, hand made, smaller designer children’s clothing collections and something so different to what they have seen around. 

Lets face it… most brides want a “wow factor” at their wedding… and having the flower girls in gorgeous stylish and unique special occasion dresses is all part of it.

These days there are so many different styles of weddings, and so many different fashion trends catering to them.  Its so refreshing to see that brides are thinking more laterally,  and with their hearts  and seeing other options away from the traditional.  Its great to see that the flower girls and junior bridesmaids are now being noticed in the fashion arena along with the rest of the bridal party!

This year many brides are looking towards colour lace and ribbons in their junior bridesmaid outfits.  Twirling skirts, pettiskirts, antique dresses, tops and shrugs.

With the ever changing styles in weddings today, flower girl and junior bridesmaid dresses are coming to the forefront in colour, texture and styles.  Just like the brides!

Easter Photo Shoot 2010

Published by Elizabeth under Kids and Fashion

Wishing everyone a gorgeous Easter 2010.  We had a wonderful Easter and I actually took almost all the time away from work and spending it with family… was GREAT!  We ate lots and LOTS of chocolate and we ALL are going to start a detox regime tomorrow!  lol

Here are a few beautiful pics taken for the Bendigo Magazinerecently with an Easter theme.  The girls all look gorgeous in their designer kids clothing and my little rabbit here which I hand painted doesnt look half bad either! Our models this day were Maddi, Immy and Ella.  They are all so, so gorgeous!

Hope you all had a wonderful easter and we look forward to bringing ypou lots more updates about amazing kids fashion, mums in business and more. Below is MADDI who looks absolutely adorable. 

Maddi wearing the Tea Princess white lace shrug over the Tippie Toes lace motif singlet, with the amazing Princess Ratnag pettiskirt.  The whole outfit is complimented by Bethany’s Child flower headband.  Kate, the photographer  for the Bendigo Magazine took some great photo’s, and I took some here too that look not half bad either!!!

Ella models the pink lace motif singlet by Tippie Toes and the Princess ratbag cream and pink pettiskirt (ltd Ed).  Accessories were the Bethany’s Child headband and Princess Ratbag angel wings. The gorgeous greenery was the perfect back drop with the photo’s taken in Rosalind Park.  Beautiful.

Immy wears the Tea Princess white lace shrug, Princess Ratbag white diamonte singlet and the Princess Ratbag Raspberry pettiskirt.  Accessories included the Bethanys Child headband, and the Princess Ratbag angel wings. 

 These girls really portray the cute, fun and specialness of the designers they are wearing.  With many mums using outfits like this from La Toriana for their special birthday party outfits, Christening dresses and flower girl dresses, there is something here for all.  Little girls love dressing up and being Princesses…. and in these designer girls clothes they can be.

Pop into our online baby/childrens boutique for your next outfit for your special little girl.

A  HUGE thank you to the Bendigo magazine (out now) for allowing us to use some of the gorgeous photography.  This ediition of the magazine is HUGE, and a wonderful read.  Easter in Bendigo is massive with our country town swelling.  The cover pic is beautiful, just as the two pictured in it are!!

Perhaps its the dreamy tutu’s that go so beautifully with all the tops and cardigans, or maybe you like the Winter hats and leggings.  I love the vintage pants and the layered top too….  and the leggings…. the sweetest ones that are so comfy… little girls love leggings.
.
I do have to say though, the frilled pants is a fav of my daughters… she loves them so much…everyone comments on them everywhere we go… and I love they never need ironinh… just out of the drier in Winter and straight into the wardrobe.
.
Hats are big this year and so too little girls not only look gorgeous in a  designer outfit topped with a hat, but they are so practical too.  There a couple different styles to choose from.  I just wished they made them big enough for me!  I just love the detail Kate, (head Tea Princess designer) goes into in all her designs.
