Our blog has moved – New Minifashionista Website, Blog and Forum!

Guess What? Minifashionista has a brand new website, blog and forum. Please come and check us out. All further blog posts will now appear on our new blog.

Welcome to the new look Minifashionista website. We are so excited to introduce our fab new website and wonderful new products. A big thank you to our web-developers Webnovation who have created a clean and easy to use format for us. They have been a pleasure to work with and have installed a simple and reliable shopping cart for us to use. We also need to thank our prize sponsor The Boutique Insider for making our new site possible in the first place. Finally, a HUGE thank you to each and everyone of you who voted for us and helped us win the makeover prize!

This great opportunity to relaunch our site has given us the incentive to review our brands and introduce some new products. Our recent trip to the trade fairs in Melbourne was great and we’ve picked up some great new quality brands, including Alimrose Designs.

We just adore the Zoo range from Skip Hop. The range includes mix and match lunch boxes, bibs and feeding kits, as well as the gorgeous treetop baby toy range.

Little Chipipi is one of our long-standing brands and we’ve loved their creativity and quality from the start. We are excited to introduce two new products from their range 1) Glow Town glow in the dark wall stickers (as shown above) and 2) Glow Town glow in the dark wall stickers(as shown above) and 2) The Height Chart wall sticker. A gorgeous set that allows you to track your little one’s growth, with 14 progress stickers.

We’re also introducing the practical and fun Boon feeding and bathing range. Boon have just made over all of their products, ensuring that they are even better than before. Our favourites include the new Boon Creatures Bath Toy Cups, Boon Groovy + Modware Sets , and the Boon Teether Tether (as pictured above right). The Teether Tether keep snacks and teethers off the floor and within baby’s reach
Easy-to-use, one-handed clip attaches to all fabrics, Top rack dishwasher-safe and BpA-free, Phthalate-free and PVC-free
Recommended age: 6+ months.

We’ll be adding lots more products over the coming weeks so keep visiting.
