Couldn't help myself!

It's hard you know - working from home, on the computer constantly, looking at gorgeous things for little people..... I often get sidetracked, and find myself hitting the "pay now via paypal" button and then get excited awaiting something in the post for the next few days.

I was delighted with my latest purchase - from a gorgeous, gorgeous website Thula Thula.
Beautifully designed, and exceptional quality, these drawstring pants (advertised as boy's drawstring pants) look so comfy and cute, that I had to buy some for Mia.

I was amazed at the quality, and I love, love, love them. The little Miss spends so much time hanging out with me, playing around and needing to be comfy, so these are nicer than trackies, different to jeans and allow her full ability to move freely (not to mention that they are so darn funky!)
Other faves I have my eye on are the "Ant's picnic singlet" and the "Tic Toc Stripey top"

The "Anchor sunsuit" and "Apricot Ruffle Cardi" are other favourites, and look absolutely gorgeous. Naomi from Thula Thula is delightful to deal with and shopping is super easy on her site. Thanks for sending my gorgeous purchase! I highly recommend a spot of shopping for your little poppet at Thula Thula, or keep up to date with new releases and designs at their blog.

Funkiest Bibs I ever saw.......

Dribbling, drooling, teething, sucking, slurping, more dribbling - It's a scenario that most of us are quite familiar with in the first few months (or longer) of our little one's lives.

I know that I used to get so frustrated when I dressed Mia in a cute new outfit, only to have big dribble (or even worse, milky chuck) marks on the front ~ Its a fact though, most bubs have a tendancy to have no control whatsoever over their mouths...

Here's where Flobib come in - not only have they got gorgeous bibs, they are different to the norm and are cut to make your bub look even cuter! I love the fact that they are made from gorgeous, funky, designer materials and I love the bandana shape that ensures that outfits are still able to be seen, yet are protected from little dribblers!

Here's one of my faves, I love orange! - Have a look at Flobib's site for the entire range.

I am also loving Flobib's use of bamboo, in their new "Pocket burper" , a bamboo burp cloth with pocket to catch anything "extra" (if you know what I mean!) ~ too cute for words and perfect to take anywhere with you!

You can now follow Flobib on Facebook to see what gorgeous, groovy product they will come up with next! Happy shopping!

Introducing.........

We are so excited to have so many wonderful stockists! Babyjo is growing and growing~ we thought that it is high time that we share some of their lovely stores with you and we wish to thank them for their support!

One of our latest stockists is the most gorgeous new store - Enchanted Closet in High Street, Armadale (Melbourne). Enchanted Closet also have a beautiful shop in Woodend, if you are ever venturing up that way - I highly recommend "dropping in for a shop".

Pictured below, Enchanted Closet recently opened the doors to their lovely new High Street shop and what a beautiful, enchanting store it is! I must say, that even though I couldn't make the opening, I did see the gorgeous pink striped feature wall when I took our stock in, and I can't wait to go back and do some serious shopping when I have a spare moment.
Step into the Enchanted Closet and you immediately fell a sense of calm and "enchantment" - from the very beautiful dressing rooms, to the "little people's corner". There is something for Mum and something for the little ones - all beautifully displayed amidst the gorgeous design of this charming store.


Of course, you will find Babyjo Bamboo wear in this seriously divine store, and I am so proud that our products are displayed along with beautiful creations from Little Bubble and Tree, Heavenly Creatures and the absolutely beautiful Monday's Child Pyjamas! With many more wonderful labels to chose from soon, I highly recommend a visit, if only to look around at the beautiful range of clothing and goodies!

Should you be in the mood to shop for yourself and not your little one, there is a stunning range of clothing and accessories from the Doll's Boutique, Green Eyed Monster, Luxe Acessories and Piper lane (to mention a few). You really need to visit Enchanted Closet to experience the charm and delights of Mia and Kate's hard work - 1087 High Street Armadale, Melbourne.


Congratulations to you both on such a wonderful store, wonderful location and gorgeous designers that you have on board! I look forward to visiting again soon.

Lunchbox Love

So - I LOVE all things cute and practical, especially when it comes to buying for my little one Mia, who is (as she will proudly tell anyone who asks) "two and ahalf".

One of my favourite online purchases this week comes from Monkey Caboose, a gorgeous, gorgeous site with some super funky products (including some lovely bamboo clothing from a well known company! Ha ha)
Whoever thought that buying a "lunchbox" could be so exciting. Simone from Monkey Caboose is the exclusive stockist in Australia for the ever-so-funky Milkdot Stoh lunch tote.
Available in Cotton Candy Pink (above), or Robins Egg Blue (below)These totes are the best way to pack for your little one when out and about. The Milkdot is fully insulated, has pockets to secure small items, is completely PVC free, lead safe and what's more, it folds flat when not in use. I love the little name tag holder (you could also get creative and pop a photo in there) and the tote is strong and durable - lasting for many lunches I am sure!
Mia was so excited last night when we received her new "lunch box" and this morning we went out early for a special breakfast at our fave cafe (really, it's just an excuse for mummy to not have to organise and clean up breakfast dishes, and to be able to sit quietly with a perfect latte and allow someone else to wait on me!). You can imagine how cute she was, with her little Milkdot tote swinging in the breeze and she was proud as punch to show anyone in the cafe who would look. (She actually unzipped it and showed the barista the "little pocket" inside that she had tucked her scissors into.) he he.


Retailing at $44.95, the tote may seem pricier than other usual plastic lunchboxes, however I assure you that it is money well spent. Not only will you have one stylish poppet, you are ensuring that your child's food is kept safe and securely packed. The stylish look of the Milkdot also perfectly compliments the modern, funky child - and I have to say that Mia took it to play group today, and now I am not so sure it will be that unique as everyone was asking where to get them! He he - you can't win sometimes, but I would love for every child to have one, they are so so cute!
Thanks to Monkey Caboose for bringing us such a gorgeous product!

What comes first? The Chicken or the Egg?

It’s the age old question that no one can answer.... and I am sorry to say, I still haven’t worked it out either.

However, I can tell you that I did discover a gorgeous brand of childrens clothing in my endeavour to solve the riddle – Cheeky Chickies – Free range Clothing.

Forget traditional baby blue, baby pink or pastel green – Cheeky Chickies have designed the most gorgeous collection of organic clothing in bright, bold and daring styles.

Completely complimentary to today’s colourful fashion trends, you will find gorgeous items that mix and match perfectly and accentuate your little chicken’s playful nature.

I am totally in love with the 3/4 length bubble pants (below):

And a great addition to these is the Rise and Shine Short Sleeve Tee (below):

I know that when I look for clothes for my little one, not only is organic important, style is paramount and Cheeky Chickies has it all! If you want your funky little one to stand out in the crowd, then these gorgeous designs are surely the way to go. What I love about the Cheeky Chickies Range is that all of their clothing is Australian Made from 100% Certified Organic Cotton.

I think you will absolutely adore this fabulous label - and urge you to head over to see what all the fuss is about! www.cheekychickies.com.au

Feeling Cheeky?

I so love a good name for a shop - " A little bit of Cheek" says it all and their logo is just as cute...

I tend to waste hours of valuable working time looking at everyone else's sites, and often making frivolous purchases for my little one, as I just CANT resist.

A little bit of Cheek is one funky site for your little one, stocking "only the coolest threads around".
I have already found my favourite piece, "The Greatest Jumpsuit" by Two Belles - I just have to wait for the weather to warm up so that Mia can wear it with pride! (How cute is this cheeky little model by the way!)


Also by Two Belles, and high up on my purchase list are the " Best Shorty Shorts" - I have a pair of denim shorts that Mia has worn all last summer, and all through winter with Baby Legs or leg huggers, and they are just so funky! Great value for money and these are simply the cutest I have seen around.
To be fair, I should also point out that there are loads of funky boys clothes as well, I am loving this little tie singlet by Blink Designs (Australian Made) and just now while I am typing this blog post, I reckon it would be pretty cute on boys or girls!



Throw this on with a pair of Pocket Rocket by Tommy Rocket Denim Shorts and your little man will be the coolest on the streets (or in the playground!)
A little bit of Cheek also stock ultra funky labels such as JettRoc and Itch Designs along with Baobab for little ones. Clothing sizes range from 000 up to 14 yrs so you will be guaranteed to find something for the little one in your life!
Happy Shopping everyone.......

Purple Cow? No thanks! Pink Giraffe

Have you ever stumbled across a store that is just loaded with gorgeously girly clothing that makes you so excited that your credit card literally "jumps" out of your wallet and lands on the keyboard in front of you?
Having a little one of 2.5 years who is just discovering the delight of dresses and skirts, I have to admit, that I have taken a new look at her wardrobe which up until now has consisted of funky, stylish, cute but practical clothing.
You can imagine her delight as I start adding beautiful little dresses that she can dress herself in (as she is "miss independant" these days) and can be worn in the middle of winter with stockings/leg warmers and a long sleeve.

Pink Giraffe have the most gorgeous, amazing range of Vintage inspired handmade dresses, pinafores and skirts for your little one.
I am loving this one - the "spotty chicken dress" with gorgeous choc tie ribbon waist - how cute are the "spotty chickens"!

For something a little quirky, yet super, super cute, you can't go past this gorgeous denim skirt with braces and funky Robert Kaufmans "Metro Market Apples" pocket!


Perfect in Winter with long sleeves and funky leggings, or wear it in the warmer months with a tee or cute singlet underneath!
And if your little one is like mine, and loves to wear some funky pants every now and then, Pink Giraffe has this covered also. All of their items have postage included, and for a lovingly handmade garment are so well priced, anyone can afford to dress their little princess in vintage style. To make life even better - Pink Giraffe are 1 year old, and are having a wee little birthday party with 10-20% off selected stock, so it's a great time to shop!

Ah - I am off to do a spot of shopping me thinks! Thanks Belinda for having such gorgeous products that are so beautifully unique and fun!
