We have been so busy here at La Toriana time has flown by.  With sickness, medical procedures, a shop, school and “everything else”, we needed to have a little “R & R” and get back into the thick of it, which included updating  the La Toriana BLOG.

Afternoon tea was in order  and what a gorgeous day we had for it.

String music, vintage books, lots of relaxing about, chatting and walks.  A very relaxing way to spend an afternoon tea with friends.  Home cooked cakes, fresh fruit, healthy kidz tea and lots and lots of laughter.

What a beautiful way to showcase some of our gorgeous summer designer childrens wear thats now online at La Toriana.   Above, Tiana looks a pretty picture  in her Tea Princess  3 tiered girls designer dress, and matching lace cardigan.  Her Bethany’s Child  special occassion headband completed the very special  outfit, and what beautiful music she played whilst the others frolicked about on the lawn.  A beautiful warm spring day, and the kidz tea went down a treat!  The launch of Bethany’s Child is almost here, so watch out for it at La Toriana.

You can easily see how the kids relaxed, laughed and had a gorgeous time!  The designer kids clothing showcased here include:

Bethany’s Child hair accessories (from $4.95),

Mini Treasure Kids clothing (including Maddison dress $89.95, Sophia Dress $89.95, Max silk shirt $59.95, Ethan linen shorts $59.95).

 The amazing white dresses from Luv Child, formerly known as momie et enfant,(white or ecru $49.95),

Tea Princess (special occassion dresses $89.95 and lace cardigan $59.95 and play suit $65.95),

vintage kids hats from constitution ($29.95)

Gorgeous Jayde, models so well the Luv Child white Maia dress and the Mini Treasure Kids Sophia dress.  We have had to get in more Maia dresses as the first lot walked right out as soon as they arrived!!  This Christmas there are so many gorgeous girls designer dresses to choose from, but I have to say, the Sophia dress will be one of the favourites for sure, as will the Tea Princess Summer collection we have online.

I LOVE this pic.  Alison,  from Lollypop Photography who did the photography captured the essence of the day perfectly!   Tiana had just finished playing the viola and in need of a cool drink, Meg, loved playing with the hand made (by moi) vintage doll, and the other two loved chit chatting!

Its without a doubt, Josh here looked the relaxed, stylish little man he is. What a gorgeous model!  The girls just loved him.

So, so pretty, meg looked devine in the Tea Princess playsuit and wearing the vintage designer hair accessories from Bethany’s Child.  All in all, the afternoon tea on a gorgeous   Spring afternoon was just perfect!  Everyone was so relaxed … its the perfect way to spend a lazy afternoon.  Afternoon tea ~ with friends.

 Thank you so much Alison.  We worked well as a team and the kids made it all so easy!  “true professionals!  However I think they were having so much fun, they didnt even notice the camera much, and my job as stylist was so easy!  If you are in the Central Victorian area and looking for a photographer…. pop over to www.Lollypopphotography.com.au and tell Alison how gorgeous the pics were!

The above photo was taken in Brisbane a few weeks ago with customers kids and latest releases from designers showcased at La Toriana.  The brilliant photography was by www.NaomiVphotography.com.au

La Toriana are fast becoming a leader in providing stylish, affordable quality premmie baby clothing, premmie baby comforters and premature baby accessories to family and friends touched by the birth of a premmie baby.  At La Toriana we have a dedicated category for premmie babies called“Premmie Baby” online on our website.  Checkout our vast range of premmie wear and newborn baby items in our secure online baby boutique.  If you are looking for a  premmie baby keepsake doll, or organic baby wear for a bub that has been born prematurely, then you have come to the right online store.  La Toriana specialise in providing great quality, stylish and affordable designer label products for low weight babies and babies born early.

 La Toriana  has had the honour of being part of  the BENDIGO MAGAZINE and the kids fashion shoot and do a “behind the scenes” blog post.  We were lucky enough to supply to the designer children’s clothing from La Toriana for this cute little girl. 

The fashion stylist (Esther) chose the stunning Winter 2010 Tea Princess  pink bow beanie, Harem pants , and the boat neck white lace top also from Tea Princess.  Everything was worked out well, and you can easily see the team work flowed with ease to help create the look for the magazine they were looking for. 

A very professional team and such a pleasure to work with.

Its always hard for some kids when doing a shoot for the first time.  There are camera’s, lights, people, a strange environment and not knowing what to expect can be very daunting.  Esther is a delight in helping make the kids feel at ease with her friendly nature and her humour.  The lollipops help too afterwards… and she even snuck one to Tiana  (yep, my assistant, when I wasn’t looking)

(just check out that gorgeous smile from Esther (below left). 

 David Fields the photographer is super talented and really knows how to get the best out of the kids.  Our little model was a little shy and timid, but David soon worked a little magic and had her smiling and feeling so much more comfortable.  He takes the time to chat with the kids, get to know them and have a little fun along the way…..

he makes it all look so easy!

The finished product in the mag is beautiful (below), and I am sure this little girls mum would have been so proud, just as I was with her representing La Toriana and the Tea Princess collection this Winter. 

Kids fashion shoots can go really smoothly, or can go pear shaped.  This session went extremely well.  Shows with an experienced team, relaxed atmosphere and professionals who know what they are doing… all falls into place beautifully.

If you haven’t already, you MUST check out the latest Bendigo magazine.

David takes some photo’s whilst the parents of the kids, the  Sarah (editor), Esther and Maggie all are there to help ensure everything goes well.  David takes it all in his stride and the kids all have a ball waiting for their turn.

 This week the Bendigo Magazine came out and its the best ever! 

 Here are some  photo’s taken from the Bendigo Magazine Photo shoot for La Toriana.    La Toriana have a few products showcased and we are thrilled with the shots and images.  Here  The images from the photo shoot for our advert with one of the magazines photographers…  Alison from Lollypop Photography.  There are a couple of my own thrown in here too…. though I am sure you can tell the great ones are hers!

A little about the children’s designer outfits modelled and showcased. 

**NEW**   La Toriana introduces Constitution to our online baby/children’s boutique.  Constitution is an Australian business and has the most delightful hats for all the whole family.

  These children’s designer hats are vintage inspired head wear from Consititution, and are  amazing.  Super quality, unique style and so adorable for kids.  These  infant hats are not like anything else I have seen about and the amount of comments from the shoot and responses from the photos have been amazing. 

Inspired by all things vintage, these kids hair accessories go well with the designer children’s clothing range available online at La Toriana.

You have to agree Lollypop Photography  images are stunning! 

My favourite of the Constitution designer label is the Vintage Boston Brocade children’s cap and the duckbill peak cap with detachable rosette.  These are  an ideal accessory that goes well with the Tea Princess range of designer dresses for a more classy and elegant look, but looks striking with pants and tops from their collection as well.  These vintage inspired children’s hats are ideal all year round.  Tran seasonal and compliments many different season children’s fashions.  Yep, the accessories are back in vogue, and little ones must be seen with their hats, scarfs, coats, capes and jewellery to complete their designer clothing this Winter.

Skye wears the Tea Princess ivory stretch top by Tea Princess and the beige cord pants.  To compliment the outfit accessories were the beautiful Princess Allure jewellery and Constitution duckbill hat.

One of my favourites is the Tea princess smock dress worn at the very top image  by Emmerson with the Tea Princess leggings.  To complete the outfit Emmy wears the constitution Boston brocade hat and jewellery by Princess Allure.

Children’s fashion today is quite eclectic.  There are so many styles and looks that there is something to suit everyone.  I am a fan of all things vintage, ”girly” and lacy.  These images capture the very essence I was hoping for.  I told the photographer I was looking for a “vintage style” look for this edition and I think together we pulled it off.   The clothing, the location and photography all worked well together to create this look.   I am very happy with it all.  Check out tomorrow for more of whats “IN”  the mag  as well as some behind the scenes shots.  Thanks so much Alison!

The Bendigo Magazine photo shoot was with some gorgeous models wearing Tea Princess, Constitution, Princess Allure, Bethany’s Child, and Three Little Tree.  I loved the old ruins in the centre of town and was ideal for this shoot.  The rustic, overgrown gardens, falling down abandoned building were a complimenting contrast to the sweet, soft girly items from the above designers.

A special thank you to Skye, Emmerson and Dylan for being such wonderful models!  See later this week for more on the Bendigo Magazine fashion stories and La Toriana’s products.  We also have some behind the scenes shots…. you’ll love!

You can easily see how well the brocade BOSTON hat matches perfectly in with the Tea Princess Smock dress and white leggings on Emmerson above.  Its a classic, elegant and stunning  little girls designer clothing outfit.

Dylan (below) wears the Tea Princess ivory beanie, boat neck long sleeve tee and the pink harem pants.  The Pink Junket hat is so sweet, and gorgeous on little girls its going to be a definite hit this coming season and into Summer.  The lace detail and adorned with brass studs is a gorgeous look for little girls.

Skye below looks dreamy and so elegant and “girly” in the Tea Princess cape, leggings with attached skirt, tulle headband and also in the pink cardigan and tulle skirt.

After a quick change and move down to the grassed area of Rosalind Park, we all had some fun. Three Little  Trees, Tea Princess, Knuffle Kid, Bethany’s Child all look stunning.

Dillon here wears the long sleeve Tee from Three Little Trees, Harem Pants from Tea Princess and headband from Tea Princess. Emmy below wears vintage inspired antique rose from Bethany’s Child and Skye wears Princess Allure clip.

WE all had a fun and wonderful day and I am so happy with the Bendigo Magazines photographer, Alison from Lollypop photography your pics together with mine came out just perfect!

some other great suggestions
