After a long wait (but boy was it worth it), Sandy Feet’s new GORGEOUS swimwear range has hit our shelves! Stars and stripes in wonderful retro Scandinavian style makes you want to spend every day at the beach or the pool…hmmm not such a bad idea actually.
Swedish Plastisock’s new range is like diving head first into a bowl full of fresh summer fruit! In true Plastisock style the patterns and colours reflect their philosophy that it’s all about designing fun, comfortable clothes for children to be active in. Look at this adorable onesie, it makes you smile doesn’t it?
On Sunday Baby goes Retro is heading down to Brisbane for the lovely Mathilda’s Market. It’s a fantastic little market with quality gear for babies and kids.

Nothing is mass produced or over prized which we love! The market is at Brisbane City Hall from 9am to 1pm.
We would love to meet you so please come and say hello and stock up on some great Christmas presents to fabulous market prices!

When I grew up in the late seventies, early eighties the shoe of choice for little girls was the fabulous clog. We wore it when skipping, playing hopscotch, chasing boys and riding bikes. This Swedish icon has certainly stood the test of time and is trendier and hotter than ever! I had them in all different colours and patterns but there was one style I was desiring more than anything and that was the super cool platform clog! The hippest girls in school all had them and oh how much I wanted to look as cool as them! I was begging my mum every day to buy me a pair but to no avail. My mum was a practical woman and didn’t want me to sprain my ankles (probably a good call in hindsight). But now when I’m an adult and do what I want I’ll go straight to Swedish Hasbeens website and buy me a pair of funky, high heel disco clogs!
If you want your little toddler dressing as cool as Harlow, Nicole Richie’s adorable little offspring then check out OK! Magazine’s Baby fashion pages. We had just the match for the cool purple pants she was sporting on the spread. Funky 3/4 pants by HJORTH, perfect for spring. As for Tori Spelling’s little bub Stella she is more into onesies so check out molo’s star suit and get your little one frocked up celebrity style!
This is Lachie dressed in Snoozy mushroom tee and doesn’t he look handsome as anything?! His mum Tanyia from East Malvern sent in this beautiful photo and says: “I absolutely love your clothes and I get so many comments about them when my boys wear them.” What a lovely email to receive, it just maked our day shine a bit brighter!
Ps. For those of you that love the Snoozy label – some cool summer tank tops are on it’s way here from Sweden right now.
Four years ago my mum bought me a necklace and a bracelet for my birthday from the jewelry label Snö of Sweden. Ever since then I have been a massive fan of their stunning designs and cool Scandinavian style. They use cultivated freshwater pearls and semi – precious stones and the colours are just amazing, such classic pieces.
Someone very wise said that and I’m bound to agree! It was time for the September main pic to be taken and off we trotted down to the park where the photo shoot were to take place. Cheeky and adorable Xavier 18 months, our model for the day was waiting with his mum Zoe looking angelic so no worries there we thought. For a boy of that age you can appreciate that there is about a squillion other things that can capture ones attention rather than have to wriggle into fancy clothes and pose for a camera! But I was determined to get a good shot so let the chase begin! You can see some of the maybe not so good ones here, but in the end all stars aligned and what a great result!
I’ll tell you what makes us happy at the moment….we are getting Fairtrade, funky, bright and vibrant Rice from Denmark! Whoohoo! It’s truly the most gorgeous tableware label ever. Just up our alley as they say! When we poured greedily over their look-book Helen just sighed and said: “Yes, I really want it all”. You can imagine how hard it was to choose what to stock with everything being so amazing. Luckily we were able to get a handful of their melamine range to keep us calm for a while until the collections are available. Colourful cups for everyone in the family and cute plates that will make even the fussiest toddler look forward to dinner time.
