Weakness for animal cuteness

It is no secret that I have a weakness for all things cute and animal so I could not resist some of the cute little finds across the globe . As we head into what is meant to be summer on the other side of the globe they are layering up in some super cute animal inspired outfits :

Both of the above outfits are by Stella Mccartney and are now available through her web store they are the most adorable little outfits .

The trend has also jumped over into adult versions - I have to say this is super cute and available through Topshop .

Returning to a medium pace

Life is slowly returning to a medium pace run rather than a sprint . The last couple of months have been a crazy sprint for all of us on a personal and a business level .

La de dah kids has been sprinting along not that there has been many visual to represent this but to say that it has been frantic behind the scenes has been an understatement . We are heading towards the silly season and there is much packing , invoicing and order finalising . It really is an exciting time and I am excited and inspired everyday to create new and beautiful things . The above image shows our colour palette and lab dips of our new range for winter 2013. It is a little brighter and we have added a lot more red as requested by many of our customers. We are now finalising all our colours and just working on some new packaging - which to be honest is a huge work in process .

Our new range which will be released the middle of February- has some exciting new characters which I think will bring a special something to each and every new home that they enter into .On a personal level our family from South Africa have left us - we loved having them with us and showing them the many highlights of Australia . We do really have an amazing country . I have included some highlights of our great ocean road trip and a quick trip into the Grampians . To say that I was hugely inspired by our local surrounds is an understatement . Our next range that I am starting to gather inspiration and character ideas is for  Summer 2013 so watch this space for some much loved Australian wildlife characters .

Do you have a favourite Australian native animal that you would like to see in our La de Dah range ?

We got married

You may have noticed that the blog posts have been few and far between and there is a good reason... we got married . After 10 years of courting and two children later we finally made it official in the eyes of the law. It really was the most special way to complete our family unit of four .The day could not have been more special it really was one of the best days ever- the day I got to marry my best friend and could officially call him my Husband I could not be more proud. The day was captured by the incredibly talented Tim Coulson .
