What a glorious Autumn afternoon picnic we had to help showcase some of our gorgeous girls designer clothing online at La Torina,and in our shop in Bath Lane Bendigo.  The day was perfect; a warm day that started cooling off in the afternoon.  The glorious Autumn colours of a golden pallet and a perfect backdrop and setting at Chateau Dore Winery in Bendigo.

I loved styling this shoot and used the inspiration from many books and a few inspiring people I have been so lucky to come into contact with, including Sharnel Dollar Designs, (where this gorgoues table cloth was made)  Bubble and Sweet and “Missy Tiana”, to name a couple. 

The adorable little models  (all customers kids) were radiant and had lots of fun, thank you to Meg, Jayde, Matisse and Tiana and their mums who came along.  A huge Thank You to Chateau Dore Winery for allowing us to shoot at this amazing place and to Alison at Lollypop Photography for yet another gorgeous shoot and photo’s.

What a stunning classic photo.  The magestic Jaguar car is perfect for the setting, and brides-to-be who are looking to get married should check out Chateau Dore (and you need to book in early) have an opportunity to use one of their gorgeous cars on the day!  Chateau Dore is a wonderful place for any special occasion.

Tiana looks quite regal here playing the cello, wearing a Mini Treasure kids dress called “Hayley” $89.95, which also comes in a stately red tonings  as well.  Sweet Meg is wearing another Mini Treasure Kids dress called “Ebony flocking dress” $89.95 (also comes in chocolate), that matches in with the Mini Treasure Kids black Allira leggings $39.95 (which also come on cream).  Little Meg is wearing a Tippie Toes Couture headband $19.95. 

 Mini Teasure Kids is an Australian kids fashion clothing designer label that’s fast becoming a head spinner and noticed not only in Australia but also abroad.  The quality is simply stunning, with dresses being lined and adorned with quality materials and trims.  Girls and boys designer clothing from 000 – 12 yrs old.  Can check them out online at La Toriana.

Myrtle & Grace  make their debut at La Toriana this week, and we just love this girls designer clothing collection, that we just know you will too. Its a high end kids fashion label thats sure to make a mark in the Australian Childrens Fashon industry

Many of the Myrtle & Grace designer children’s wear are   **exclusive **    to La Toriana including the Milla dress above.  The softest  Hail Spot Cotton with silky satin trim tie and bias with hand dyed vintage style lace trim hem in white or ivory tea. So soft, quality, and definitely makes a statement in the vintage inspired girls clothing arena.  I especially love the fact Rachael, the designer from Myrtle and Grace is a ‘local” and we plan to catch up often and bring you exciting and exclusive designs we just know you are going to love, plus an interview with the designer  herself coming up to hear about what inspires her creativity.

The  “Milla Dress”  $59.95, is perfect for girls 6 months up to 10 years.  Comes in a soft white with white, elegant lace on the trim, and satin tie ribbons at the shoulder.  Also comes in a soft cream/ivory colour with a delicate ecru elegant lace trim on bottom.  Ideal as  a special occasion dress, flowergirl dresses, christening, Christmas dress, birthday and confirmation and communion dress.   The Milla dress, plus the pretty Pink “all things nice” dress and a couple special delights will be in store the start of August ready for Spring/Summer season. Watch out for new releases soon and you can pre order by sending me an email at info@latoriana.com.au telling me what colour style etc you are after.  We have already sold 3 dresses since our release photo on facebook for confirmation/communion dresses.

Must be feeling sentimental (again..!!) and penned this above piece whilst I had a day at home on my own,  looking through lots of stunning children’s designer clothing photo’s from the last couple shoots with Alison from Lollypop photography … and my own little baby!

I cannot believe my little baby is growing up so quick.  She will be 9 years old this year…. time has really flown fast. I love the fact that Tiana loves classical music, and she definitely has an ear and flair for it. 

Tiana is modelling the Esther dress by Myrtle and Grace, “A little bit of vintage” designer girls clothing label designed and MADE in Australia. 

This dress  that Tiana is modelling above is an   **exclusive**   dress to La Toriana,  the “Esther” from Myrtle & Grace, $59.95, available in size 6 mths to 10 years.   This Australian children’s clothing designer uses only quality materials, trims and laces, with many hand dyed fabrics and styles that are unique.  Many of the girls designer dresses are transeasonal that are pretty on own in the warmer weather, and pretty plus functional when  layered in the cooler weather.  Available now **LIMITED EDITION** instore and on the La Toriana website.

It’s elegant, relaxed and has a real vintage appeal.  Tiana also loves this Esther dress (though not as much as her shorts, tees and gumboots), which is great we agree.  I love the lace and ribon and of course the rose  pattern material.  We BOTH love roses !

The headband is ivory rosette from Tippie Toes Couture and was a real hit amongst all the girls on the day.  It comes in 3 colours, a rose/blush pink, an antique white and a soft latte colour.  $19.95 and comes in 3 sizes to suit girls of all ages. 

The Three Little Trees Winter kids fashion collection for 2011 is nothing short of gorgeous.  Here Matisse models the VERY popular Melbourne dress $49.95 teamed with the charcoal footless tights $19.95.  I LOVE this colour for Winter and its proven to be one of the most popular girls designer clothing for the season by Three Little Trees.  My Fav however is the pink Manhattan dress that Meg is wearing here.  Its a knit dress $54.95 and really is a transeasonal item.  Also goes brilliantly with the charcoal footless tights from Three Little Trees. 

Matisse looks amazing here, and Alison has caught a magical moment that’s just beautiful. The matching rose headband is truly a gorgeous match top this dress by Small Society.

Another debut kids fashion designer clothing label to La Toriana this season is Small Society.  I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it.  Its the Earth dress and available in the 2 colours, a blush dusky pink and a soft grey/green. This dress can be worn in summer and also layered for winter, and when it gets short for a dress can be worn as a longer top.  The adjustable button feature at the back allows for growth and is a clear winner this season at $59.95.  Matisse above also wears the Tippie Toes couture rosette headband in blush pink, $19.95.

I must thank “Esther” who helped sew up my buntin when I had no sewing machine and little time.  The materials are all remnants from when i was making my very first nursery exactly 10 years ago in May, it was for the twin girls room… and I had packed it all away, in a sealed box which I recently returned to.  Its also mixed in with pieces of materials left over from some of Tiana’s clothes and cushions from when she was born, so its truly a very special bunting full of love and memories.  When I was cutting it out I was wanting something that was different, special and full of meaning… this was perfect and gorgeous Esther helped make it all come together… THANK YOU gorgeous Esther!

Thank you to all the models, Alison at Lollypop Photography, Chateau Dore, the models mums and the supermarket who made the cake.  (Sorry, I really need bubble and sweet down this way! but alas can you tell what type of cake it is?)

 Also thanks to the designer kids clothing businesses listed above, as these all are gorgeous Winter collections of designer kids clothing in Australia in 2011, and I am so proud to be able to showcase them at La Toriana online and in store.

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.

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!

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!!

For anyone who knows me, I am an old fashioned girl at heart and love florals and vintage kids clothing.  Tea Princess is a designer label that I adore and feel honoured to be able to share this with you.

I must say that Tea Princess, designer clothes for little girls has fast become a hit with many mums out there.  La Toriana has a following and people on a list waiting to be told when the next summer range hits our store (I just love that many of you love this designer just as much as I do!)

I met up with the devine Kate Priddle (Designer and owner of Tea Princess) at Kids In Style and her personality is even more gorgeous in real life.  Its always lovely to meet with the designers and business women you have been working and talking with, and I was taken back with Kates passion and enthusiasm for Tea Princess. It was infectious!!

Tea Princess is a timeless boutique collection, which incorporates beautiful detail such as hand crochet, lace and soft floral and vintage fabrics.  The collection embraces current trends while maintaining a classic girly charm.  For newborn to six years.

Well I had a sneek peek at the Summer range and its gorgeous, check the above pics of some items soon to be available at La Toriana, and I also got to see next Winters range and I am LOVING IT!!!  

It is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS,,, no honestly it really is.  You’ll have to wait a couple seasons before I can show you a sneek peek, but Tea Princess is one designer collection range you will be hearing more and more about.

Seems like Kate just gets better and better.
