I am super excited to share today’s find with you because I think it just might be the start of  something new and amazing!

Japanese company’s Kodansha and Mobile Art Lab have joined forces to create this wonderous new creation: the PhoneBook. The PhoneBook is a hybrid traditional children’s book and high-tech application which utilises the capabilities of iPhone and iPod touch applications to become fully interactive.

POPO and MOMO Ride! Ride! is a Phone + a book and is available on Amazon Japan for 2,980 Yen (approx. $AUD38.00). It comes with foam inserts within the book to keep the iPhone or iPod touch secure while it plays animated, interactive sequences matching the printed artwork and music with (English) vocals.  After purchasing the book, you can  download the free PhoneBook – Ride! Ride! app from the iTunes App Store. You can read and play 6 different situations – Private Room, Train, Airplane, Submarine, Spaceship, and Living Room – with this one application.

View the video below to see the PhoneBook in action. Amazing, huh?!

My impression is, there are some people in the world who were just born to talk. They love it! Is there a chatterbox in residence at your house? There always seems to be one, yet I wouldn’t have said that was true of our house. That is, until 17 months ago…when our daughter arrived! Since birth, there has been a rolling stream of sound coming from this little person. At first she cried. Loudly. And now? Ooo baby, can she chat!  Every waking minute there is a constant babble, she is the epitome of a chatterbox!

Bringing all the babbling brook of energy, enthusiasm, interest and friendliness that my little girl, and every chatterbox possess to their store, is the aptly named boutique Mini Chatterbox – www.minichatterbox.com.au.

Pyret, Purebaby, Rising Star, Sooki Baby, Tommy Rocket, Woof, Two Belles and Walnut.

Mini Rodini is a Swedish childrens brand that I know you will love.  Swedish fashion illustrator Cassandra Rhodin named the brand after the moniker that her great grandfather, the legendary circus king Brazil Jack, used when he travelled and performed with gypsies during the romantic 1890´s.  He was known as The Full Rodini!

Cassandra says she is inspired by “kids that are mixing, matching and creating their own alternative, magical world,  where scruffy meets chic”. I really admire her ability to combine fun, strong graphics with comfortable clothes that ooze Scandinavian style. The girls dresses, jackets and tops are gorgeous and her boys range is also cool and would suit many a laid back Aussie lad.

Mini Rodini is available in Australia from one of our favourite online retailers Tiny People or international orders can be accepted from the Mini Rodini website.

Tiny People has a flat rate shipping charge of $12, with all orders over $150, shipped free.
Check Mini Rodini for shipping charges to your address.

From wee little babes up to 7 years, there is so much fashion on offer in this sale from ShopHouse – it is really is like chasing down your own little leprechaun! There are lots of lush items for babies from top selling brand Purebaby. A simple long sleeve tee is a must for this time of year. I like the  Floral Woven L/S Tee for girls and the equally cute Grey Marle with Dog L/S Tee for little boys.  For older boys I love the Moppit Carlo Jeans. And how about some Polka Liquid Leggings for making your little ladies legs very snazzy indeed?

With Oobi on sale, my favourite finds of today simple wouldn’t be complete without a number of Oobi pieces! I love the Tunic Top ‘Starry’ on sale for only $24.95. If the gorgeous print doesn’t win your over immediately (like it did me!), just wait till you lay eyes on the super sweet back, which is pictured below. I also love the Military Overcoat in Navy Cotton Drill which is listed at ShopHouse for the bargain price of $49.95. As a  current season Oobi favourite, the saving on this item alone is worthy a big toothy grin!
