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.
