I was very fortunate to have found some amazing new kids items including these from The Little Safari Collection.  Gin&Tonic have just launched their G&Tkids collection and I just love the new debut range, “The Little Safari”.

The Little Safari Collection draws inspiration from many childhood dreams and wild imaginations.  The collection features everyday essentials with a twist of fun and excitement that every child and every parent will love.

The alphabet print really reminds me of a day at the circus when I was a very young child….. and the elephant print inspires my imagination like a little girl.  Oh the memories!

I was drawn to this colourful and stylish design… I think you will too.  PVC Placemats, 100% cotton bibs and matching cushion set,  with the purple elephant or alphabet theme.  Absolutely stunning.

I am thrilled that Georgie and Tom allowed me to showcase their products to show you… and watch out as you will soon be seeing them on the La Toriana website coming very soon.

Georgie & Tom are expecting their first baby later in the year, so we will keep you informed about how they are doing.  The below statement from them sums it up.  check out their homewares on their website… very whimsical and inspiring….

“Fashion is not only seen on catwalks.  It has now evolved into the home. It  is not only a trend, but a way of life. Fashion for the home is a must”

me2me2  was a treasure find at Kids In style in Melbourne this year.  For ages I had been looking for a boys hipster tool belt with all the tools, a real spirit level, a real hammer, a retractable measuring tape, battery free torch, all in an adjustable tool belt with quick release buckles.  A “real tradies” kit with lots of pockets to assist in holding all those much needed tools to get your job done!

…. and here it is!  Not only that, I was so wrapped to find a littl girls hairdressing set with all the trimmings including a cape… just like being at the hair dressers!

me2me2 is a business that set out to provide unique and innovative products that inspire positive role play.  I love the boys tool kits the best …  all boys love doing what dads do… but let me say too though… the girls like having their own tool kits too as they watch mum (me) do a lot of handyman things about the house too!  Same goes for the boys…. they can get creative with mums hairdo with the hairdressing set too!

 Well ladies, I honestly think you are on a winner with these, was lovely catching up and I look forward to catching up with you again soon  ~ Elizabeth xx

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.

I recently had th pleasure of meeting some wonderful, talented businesses at the Melbourne Kids In Style fair. Today is part one of some of the excellent products avilable in the marketplace for your baby and kids.
