mini luke, online shopping and more!!

So yes it's been a while since my last post, but with good reason. First of all I was busy finishing Georgia's jacket for her 1st birthday party. I'm so happy with the result, it has little red apples on it and suits her perfectly! As well as this, there was tons to prepare for the big day but all went off without a hitch and Georgia had a fantastic day.

I've also been super busy launching our boys' range of clothing.....and deciding on a name for the boy's stuff - you'll remember the online competition held in June. Amelia McKee, mum to Oscar, suggested 'mini luke' which I absolutely love and so there you have it......mini luke by Georgia's Closet is born! Keep an eye out for hoodies and PJ's both on Facebook and at http://www.madeit.com.au/georgiascloset

Speaking of Facebook, I'm very excited to be launching our online Facebook store! Many people have asked how this will work and it's really pretty simple. Through the Georgia's Closet fan page (http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Georgias-Closet/335599849932?ref=ts), I have a tab 'Shop Now' where fans will be able to purchase directly online. It's all ready to go, I just need to build up some stock to place up on the site.

This week I discovered another reason to love Georgia's Closet, so am very pleased to share this story with you. Georgia has had this little rash on her neck, a red, raised blotchy patch which I put down to the tags from her PJs and clothes rubbing constantly. I removed the tags off all the offending items and got some ointment so it's on the mend....however the point of my story is this. All Georgia's Closet and mini luke pieces come with iron on dot labels (I use those from http://www.mooo.com.au/ and love them!) so never will there be a huge chunky tag annoying your little one and causing irritations.....see just one more reason for you to love Georgia's Closet!

On that note, time for me to go. Keep checking our Facebook page and be the first to experience online shopping at Georgia's Closet. I have a few more ideas up my sleeve for the coming weeks too so stay tuned!

Boy's hoodies are on their way!

Due to popular demand we're soon to be in the business of boy's clothes! So in light of this exciting new venture, we need a name for our boy's line of clothing....and we need your help!! Put your creative hat on and come up with the best name for our new collection and you'll win a boy's hoodie in the size of your choice (sizes 6 months to 5 years). Email your entry to georgiascloset@gmail.com by June 20.

Aside from this exciting development, I've been super busy organising Georgia's first birthday party and making her jacket to wear on the big day....this got me thinking about what's practical for kids to wear to parties. Aside from the fact that they're likely to get ice cream, chocolate and cake all over their gorgeous party clothes, you also want them to be comfortable and not pulling at their clothes all day....or worse taking them off!!

Opt for nice, soft fabrics to suit the weather (soft cottons in summer, cord or denim in winter) and preferably go with long sleeves in winter so you won't have to chase after your little one with a jacket all day - have you ever noticed kids hate wearing jackets when it's 10 degrees outside?

For colour choice, obviously avoid white wherever possible, printed fabrics are great because they don't show stains as much - and you're more likely to spot your dearest running off if they're not wearing something common like black, blue, red, pink etc....which is where I put my sales pitch in about our new hoodies - made in cute, designer printed fabrics they'll keep him warm, it can be dressed up or down and you'll spot him a mile away since he'll be the best dressed boy at the party!

Have fun and stay warm.....and don't forget to enter your name suggestion before June 20!
