My recent purchase from Charlipop kids was a few items that are adorable.  The “ME TOO” kids designer brand, from the Netherlands is bright, bold and just what we were looking for for Tiana to wear on our next holiday. The gorgeous prints and fabrics are to die for.. the price.. well I just had to buy more! Even better Tiana loved the bright floral colours…. felt like she was on holidays she said!

Kathryn, the owner was also featured recently in the ever so gorgeous magazine  Essential Child. you can jump on here and see the whole article! An excellent interview!

I also must admit the photographer Kat uses for some of her kids clothing ranges are amazing. Amanda Keeys photography … is ever so cool and talented.

I now have my eye on the Minymo kids clothes … tough decision to make here… this (below in pink) is what I am thinking of getting Tiana….  is so cute!  Minymo is a danish kids wear company for kids 0 – 12 yrs.   Stylish and great quality.  If you are looking for the latest in overseas kids fashion… let Kat show you about CharlipopKids.

I love the fact too that I can shop and wander and look at what other great overseas baby and kids clothes are like.  Its a magical, fun and colourful world at Charlipopkids…..
