~*~ Tea Princess ~*~

… is here.

The Winter 2010 Tea Princess has arrived and its TOTALLY GORGEOUS.  However,  like always, these girls designer clothing items are sought after.  The colours, sizes and styles may run out quickly… so be sure you get in and reserve yours, or you may be disappointed.

There are so many gorgeous items in the Tea Princess vintage inspired girls wear this winter… so hard to choose from… so why not grab a couple outfits.  You know the style, the quality and the price is always affordbale for such a high quality, limited edition designer girls clothing ensemble.  YES *LIMITED edition… never to be seen again*

So have a browse online in our childrens clothing boutique, and choose from the Tea Princess Green Jersey dress, Knitted beanie/beret with diamonte flower, Knitted Headband with flower and the Tea Princess Stretch and guipre lace dress.

I know there are so many decisions… decisions. How hard is it choosing from the collection of Tea Princess girls clothing?  They all are so beautiful. 

Of course as soon as the boxes arrived, Tiana and I were in checking them all out, trying on and “oohing and ahhhing”.  She straight away took the things she really liked and instantly tied them on….   (can you try and guess her 3 favourites?)

Below here are some of the cutest winter kids fashion I have seen… EVER.  If you are looking for designer girls clothing online, then check out the girls wear from Tea Princess.  Long sleeve white Tee with lace, Knitted scarf and cream long sleeve tee, Pink jersey frilled dress and lace leggings in cream or pink.

I dont know about your little girl. but mine loves the tops with comfortable bottoms and her wardrobe is so full of leggings, tights and pants.  The skinny cord pants are an instant hit with many of you and YES… does have the adjustable waist inside  (many have asked this question), the white leggings with wide lace trim are an essential this season… you need to have at least one staple in your collection.  The harem pants are the softest, most comfortable around, and totally “IN”.  The lace tights or leggings are just walking out the door… so I apologise if your size has gone… these are the most stunning and so soft.  Yep…a must have in the Tea Princess designer wear I am afraid.

Of course… there is still so much sun and partying to happen before the mid winter chills arrive… so grab a Tea Princess Summer girls clothing party item.  These will never be repeated and are of a limited edition   Oh… yes you know your own little princess will be the envy of your town when she arrives in a collection piece from Tea Princess…. its certainly a show stopper!!

 I am sure many of you will agree that the gorgeous collection of girls designer clothing from Australian kids fashion designer Kate at Tea Princess is truly amazing.  The Vintage charm, and essence of a bygone era that allows little girls to be little girls is what they truly deserve.

Is your little princess in TEA PRINCESS?

 She should be!

2009 saw many Australian and New Zealand designers in baby and kids fashion, release some brilliant kids clothing.  These designers are extremely talented and we are very proud to be able to showcase their work online at La Toriana.

There was a frenzy for Tea Princess with their Winter girls designer clothing collection in 2009. The designer children’s scarfs and hats especially were so popular with  Australian mums that Tea Princess had to back into manufacturing for more!  I think my favourite of the Winter Tea Princess was the pants!  I actually popped aside a couple larger sizes as I loved them so much!  So soft and easy to wear!

We saw the introduction of Princess Ratbag Pettiskirts  at La Toriana. These pettiskirts are an absolute favourite amongst all.  Looks gorgeous on babies to adults.  We have seen our customers purchase the Princess Ratbag pettiskirts for  their daughters christening dresses, birthday party outfit, Christmas dress and for dress ups too.  We have seen them in wedding parties where the little flowergirls look adorable too!  Have you seen our blog post recently where our facebook customers and fans sent in pics of their little ones in Princess Ratbag pettiskirts?

A firm favourite this year has been the ever delightful designer collection of girls wear from TikiBoo Kids.  The Antique Rose collection has been a super hit in 2009 and we have some avid followers of this Australian designer baby and kids fashion label, so watch out for more gorgeous designs. Where kids should be kids and dress like kids!

Late December we saw the the gorgeous designer kids wear from YmamaY?  hot the shores of Australia. This New Zealand designer kids label is nothing short of unique and stunning.  So classy, stylish and very affordable in designer kids clothing ranges.  A special outfit for your special little one.  This is definitely one label you will want to know more about.  The good news?  They have stylish boys wear that I am happy to put in the La Toriana boutique… and that says a lot!

The ever popular Vanchi saw a few new additions to their designer nappy bag range.  Many new mums are ditching the “baby look” nappy bags and going for stylish and, classy, practical and affordable nappy bags.  Vanchi has all this and more and mums out there have really started to notice.  This is one nappy bag that looks like a designer handbag, but still comes equipped with a co ordinating change mat, bottle thermos, dummy safe wet pack and ample pockets, zips etc.  This just has to  be THE nappy bag for classy mums on the go.  (My baby is 7 years old now, but I still use a Vanchi bag as my every day bag.  The bottle thermos tuned into a zippered pencil case and enclosed paper for outings at restaurants, the dummy safe is the BEST EVER coin purse, and I love all the compartments)

 Alimrose is always the first port of call when anyone wants to purchase a baby gift online.  This Australian business is totally gorgeous.  Here at La Toriana we have tried to keep up with the demand in the baby rattles, baby hand squeakers, booties and bibs!  This year the matching Alimrose bib, booties doll rattles and hand squeakers have been brilliantly popular!  Though still hasn’t topped the firm favourite (same as last year) the coco the cat range.  The musical cat, the hand squeaker and rattles.  This is just a classic I guess… and am off to order more…

Ahhh.. you are never too young to have your first set of pearls.  Little Pearls for LIttle Girls  have always been a very popular baby gift for a new baby girl.  Many are purchased online at La Toriana for Christening gifts, baby gifts, flowergirl presents and junior bridesmaid jewellery.  2009 saw the release of the PINK fresh ater pear bracelet and necklaces to their collection.  Mums, aunties and grandmothers (and of course everyone else) can now choose between the ever popular white fresh water pearls and now pink.  A very popular gift for newborn baby girls to 12 years.

Tabitha Emma’s designs  are whimsical. playful and nostalgic.  The perfect gift for little girls and for mums too.  The cupcake purse and chocolate cake purse have been viewed so many times at La Toriana, and are so proud to be showcasing a very talented up and coming designer at La Toriana.  This young Australian designer must be well liked also in the BIG NAME circles though was a shame what what happened by well known Alannah Hill.   Read more here.   Tabitha Emma designs have been well received throughout 2009 and many little fashionista’s received these purses for Christmas. 

Us Australians love cooking and especially love BBQ’s.  Ogilvies Designs  was introduced in 2009 and what a gorgeous Australian label!  The dad and me designer BBQ aprons for dads and their kids was a real winner… selling out a couple designs in record time.  The mums and me was also popular and who couldn’t go past the Kids Christmas aprons.  Yep… this is a very popular designer label for kids that’s sure to be a name you will be proud to tell all your friends… and buy presents for!!

They must breed a lot of talented people up in Queensland!  Wild Things Of Noosa is also another gorgeous designer who has been popular here at la Toriana.  Seeing a huge surge in popularity, we feel so proud to be one of the few stocking this Australian designer fashion label for babies and kids online. Proudly showcased through La Toriana is national glossy magazines such as Shop 4 Kids, My Child magazine and Little One Baby magazine, its highly reguarded across the nation. Wild things Of Noosa is high quality, unique and I am extreenmly impressed with their design, quality fabrics and colours.  We look forward to showcasing more in 2010.

The Premmie baby catagory online at La Toriana has definitely been a passion of mine in 2009. So much so that we even have a designated section on our BLOG as well. The Tummy Bear premmie baby keepsake dolls were a massive hit with dozens going to families all across Australia.  The Earlybirds range is a staple favourite and ever popular as baby gifts for premature baies as well as the ideal premmie baby clothing to start with.  The Early birds range also include an organic premature baby clothing collection that’s fast becoming very popular.  Teeny Weeny prem baby clothes has given families and friends of premature babies the choice away from the traditional pink, white and blue.  With their contemporary colours and patterns that many parents are looking for.  we have sold so many of these, so that sure tells us that the uniqueness and the price (VERY affordable) is what parents of premmie babies are looking for.   Lambykins collection that was released in 2009 of organic premmie baby clothing is so beautiful.  Full of quality, grace and meaning… each garment has its own poem attached, and of course all are designed with the ease of dressing in the NICU, SCBU and at home.  We cannot forget The ZAKY either.  A premmie baby and newborn positioning pillow that gives the baby comfort to rest and sleep all whilst you don’t have to be there to pat them or hold them.  Mums can hug the Zaky to your own body to give baby the scent of you to help give your baby a peaceful, and calming sleep. The best ever comforter to cuddle and keep close with mums scent though just has to be the Cuski!  This is well loved by premmie babies to toddlers.  come in a cream, red, pink, blue and green

What a year 2009 was for La Toriana.  We have had such a heartfelt and warm response from all our customers and blog readers.  A very special THANK YOU to all our beautiful and wonderful suppliers, whom many have become amazing good friends that I know we will be friends for years to come.  THANK YOU.  A very BIG thank you to the editors of magazines and the wonderful journalists of newspapers papers who have embraced La Toriana and given so much valuable advice, tips and direction.  I know I would not be where we are right now without the wonderful support of the few who have supported us.

A VERY BIG thank you to our facebook friends too… many of the gorgeous photo’s, tips and kids recipes in our BLOG, especially the KooL KidZ section comes from customers and facebook friends… so thank you, and please keep them coming!

Wishing EVERYONE a very special 2010, may it be filled with angel wishes and pooh bear hugs, be full of love and laughter and special memories.  Please be safe over the coming months and be kind to others.  I truly believe in the philosophy of karma and the amazing things that life has to offer are all good.  Embrace them.

Take time to play and be happy, to laugh and make friendships.  Its the simplest things in life that make us happy.  Look to the stars and take one step at a time…

 warmly
