My Friend La Toriana
May 29, 2009
I would love to introduce to you a wonderful friend I have made online – Elizabeth from La Toriana. Elizabeth lives in rural Bendigo and has been online around the same time as Charlipop Kids. Here I would like to take a few moments to introduce some of my personal favourite products of her range. She has a particular interest in showcasing some of the best Australian and New Zealand products and clothing on the market. And we are certain you will adore her ranges! So take a moment and drop in for a visit at www.latoriana.com.au – you thought Charlipops had great customer service? I learnt what I do from Elizabeth! You’ll just have to see for yourself!
Tea Princess
I have admired this brand from afar – there is something of the delicate fabrics that takes me back in time. I think the photos speak for themselves:

Tikiboo Kids
”Fairyland Magic” Collection designer girls Play Set - gorgeous set by another Aussie designer, Tikiboo Kids!
Three Little Trees
Three Little Trees is a delightful brand new to La Toriana, and designed in Australia. They have a distinct flavour to them – with retro and smart prints but with a time-gone-by look about them. Here are a few of La Toriana’s range this season:
Unique to Three Little Trees – each garment also comes with a packet of seeds, to grow and help the environment. What an awesome idea!! I am personally pretty taken by this stunning range! And I especially love the cause.
La Toriana’s Story
Elizabeth has a heart-wrenching story, and I can’t tell you about her without sharing a little about how special the name and logo of her design is. You can read more about her story here: http://latoriana.com.au/blog/2008/07/ and here: http://latoriana.com.au/blog/?s=premature (scroll down the the La Toriana logo). I didn’t want to quote too much as I’d love to read for yourself, but here is a small snippet:
‘For many who dont know, La Toriana is made up of our 3 daughters names…. 2 of whom were born premature and now are our angels, and one… who is a very special premmie girl too, who is now 6 years old. Our logo is of 2 angels and a baby…. we are all together.’
Elizabeth, I hope we can be friends for life, as both of our stores continue on a journey into the unknown. I have enjoyed chatting with you – and hope through this blog a few more people will meet the wonderful you! xx Kat

Run Scotty, Run…
May 10, 2009
I am proud to introduce Charlipop Kids full range of Winter Run Scotty Run. Without a doubt, they are my very favourite range of Winter this year! I am completely in love with the colours, the patchwork nature of many garments and the quality. Having had over the time many Preloved RSR, as a brand it has convinced me that the quality of fabrics used exceeds many like brands. No-matter how many washes, the fabrics last so well. And I know you will be impressed too!
Run Scotty Run garments often feature the little Scotty dog logo, and are designed in Australia. This season features a large quantity of soft knits – again it is the dreamy colours that have me mesmorized. Of all the listings, the garments in the Cuckoo range appeal to me most of all – again the colours and fabric that captivate me. Something too you can only really glimpse once you hold them in your hands. Following are the links to my favourite RSR Cuckoo listings – I think you’ll see why I love them so much!
