Big Girls Buys # 2

While Angie hits the shops to see what she can find for the fashion conscious tween. I've been busy finding some online buys for your Sz 8 - 14 princesses. I was most impressed with Bardot Junior where you can get some great outfits online. They offer postage at a flat rate of $12 Australia wide.

 

I was also excited to discover Witchery Kids online, and while not all styles are available online there is a link to stores where phone numbers are provided. Postage is $14.95 within Australia.

Of course AnK Bowtique can match your outfits with some great accessories.

Try The Grace Vintage Headband with the Bardot Junior Maxi Dress

or the Indy Fabric Clip with the Bardot Junior Cargo Dress

 Our new Claudia Stretch Band matches perfectly with the Witchery Kids slub tank and white capris.

Happy Shopping and stay tuned for more great BIG GIRL BUYS

In true spirit of our researching I have tested the shopping cart and checkout!  It works perfectly, and postage was only $10.00.

So I have created a few outfits for you.

Outfit 1.

Pretty Frill Dress $59.95

Railroad Tote $29.95

Basket Weave Trilby $29.95

So there you have our first edition of 'Big Girls Buys'.  Sorry I haven't created links to every outfit straight to the store but I did do this inbetween 'On Air reading' and Maths.

I am off to the big smoke tomorrow (it's not actually that big but it does have shops) so I will check out what other fashion ideas I can come up with.

Getting Ready for Summer

I have found it increasingly difficult to find clothes for Miss M now that she is above a Size 8. I know lots of other people also find this to be quite hard. Today I'd like to share with you a dress I brought for Miss M from madeit.  Designed and made by Myrtle & Grace it really is divine.  Miss M modelled it one afternoon and I took some pics.

It is edged in beautiful lace.

Pillow case style with gorgeous ivory satin ribon tie on the shoulder.

Made from beautiful soft pink hailspot fabric.

The Milla's Pretty Party Dress

Even the tag is gorgeous.

You can read more about Myrtle & Grace here

Of course I had to come up with a hair accessory to match.

I gave our fans a sneek peek of this gorgeous ruffled lace on facebook last week.

Here it is made into a beautiful bow with velvet ribbon centre, it can be worn alone or worn on a stretch band. What do you think???

Well I'm off to complete some wholesale orders. Have a great weekend.

Taking the time to smell the Jasmine.

Life out here has it's busy times and it's very easy to get caught up in all the hype.  Sometimes you just have to take the time to 'smell the Jasmin'.
I would have taken photos of my roses but they are just sticks at the moment.  My roses are either gorgeous or an eye sore.  They were the later and now I hope they will be their glorious self again shortly. 
But one plant in my garden that does not take much looking after is the Jasmin.  It trails beautifully over an arch that I have at my front gate.  At the moment it is in full flower and the perfume that wafts past as you brush past it coming through the gate or just on dark is something I wish I could bottle.  The stuff you buy in the shops is nice but nothing beats the real thing.

It's important for all our sanity to take the time out.

Made It Monday and Ava's Tea Party

Yesterday marked a very special day for a beautiful family in Brisbane.  It was the birthday of their daughter who was taken away from them tragically at aged 3.  You may have heard about this story but if not you can read it here.  Her story is written by her very courageous mother Sheye Rosemeyer and how Ava was taken from them in a freak accident.  Sheye created a memorial site for their daughter.  At this site you can read the Story of Ava and her death and also how her family has created a legacy to raise awareness for safety in regard to your own parked cars in your drive-way.

Each year on the 22nd August people all over the country celebrate the "Super Princess's" birth with Ava's Tea Party.  Money raised at such events are passed onto Paradise Kids.  Paradise Kids was started  for children to ‘help heal their heartache’ when faced with a traumatic situation in their little lives.
You can read Sheye's beautiful and inspirational blog here.

So this is how we get to Made It Monday.  At a tea party it is only customary to have cupcakes.  So I found some very special little cupcake item's on Made It.
