Well, my infatuation with modern-retro haven Itty Bitty Yuppy – www.ittybittyyuppy.com.au has gone from crush to full-blown love!

I placed an order (an occupational hazard of this job, but I’m not complaining!), and I am well pleased with the results.

Taking full advantage of the 15% discount — enter discount code IBY628 at checkout to receive 15% off your purchases – ends TODAY! — I dived on in, and picked up a few thing.

They arrived the next day encased in cool-as Itty Bitty Yuppy calico bags. A very nice touch!

So what did I get?

Behold the beauty!

I purchased a couple of the Fleurville Kid’s Messenger with bonus lunch bag Green/Pink Ogo $59.95 (or Pink ‘Ogoditsbeautiful’, as I call it!) for when my girls hit pre-kinder later this year, and also Fleurville Kid’s Messenger with bonus lunch bag Chocolate/ Tropical Leaf $59.95, for a lucky little man I know.

These bags are so well designed and constructed. I love that they can be worn as a backpack (straps are concealed in the back pocket when not in use, and fasten with the most easy to use clips I have ever come across; spring loaded wire, not the usual plastic, makes clipping and unclipping effortless!), as a messenger via removable side-straps, or by the top handle.

There are also loads of pockets and compartments, which remove the need to fruitlessly scrabble around in the bag.

They are also made of a new, eco-friendly and kid-friendly toxin-free fabric called GreenLam (TM), which feels quite different to traditional fabrics commonly used for bag manufacture; light and very soft, but strong. Not to mention the fact that they are great to look at too (it just don’t mean a thing if it hasn’t got that zing!)

I also could not resist the Baby Bean Vintage Daywear One-Off Claire Tank Dresses $69.95 on SALE for $45.47.

Here are the two I got (’scuse the dodgy photog). I bought a size up so that they’ll work in multi-layered configurations over winter, and still fit when summer returns to our shores.

Note that each and every Baby Bean Vintage dress is a one-off: Baby Bean only make one dress in each print, so you won’t be able to get these exact prints, but there are lots of lovely other one-offs to choose from.

These dresses are made of a heavier gauge cotton, which adds to their vintage appeal. Love the pocket detailing: great for storing toy lizards, jewels, and lucky pebbles

Jump on in, the water’s warm

Here are a few of my personal picks to whet your whistle.

Abe Jones City Park Keyhole Dress $74.95 SALE $48.72
Baby Bean Vintage Daywear One-Off Claire Tank Dress $69.95 SALE $45.47

I am madly in love with these dresses! The Asian styling and colours of the Abe Jones dress are perfect to liven up the winter months, and each and every Baby Bean Vintage dress is a one-off; you won’t find another one the same in the world anywhere, because Baby Bean only make one dress in each print!

Wear these as dresses to start with, and progress them to tops over jeans, as your little one grows. Wear them in winter with long-sleeved tees underneath, for extra warmth and urban style. I just love double duty clothing, and when it looks this good, well, I’m *in*!!

Baby Bonkies Infant Swaddle Blanket in Butterfly Pink print $52.80
Baby Bonkies Infant Swaddle Blanket in Turquoise and Brown Geometric $52.80

Baby Bonkies; the name alone has me!! What a great idea these are, with their form fitting designs, 100% cotton prints and snuggly minkee lining. I wish these came in adult sizes! The perfect stylish pressie for mothers of newborns.

Eight3One 100% cotton T-Rex Onesie $32.95
Eight3One 100% cotton Birdy Tee $32.95

These are just too darn cute!! I love dinosaurs and birds, and so do my kids. These are perfect for little tackers and toddlers, and are sweatshop free, so you can feel doubly good about buying them!

How cool is this Spidee Tee $50.55, and Snake Eyes Shirt $72.55 from Wonderboy?
Look at the little man in the above pic: happy, comfy and cool! Wonderboy is a winner all round!

If you love multi-tasking products just as much as I do, you’ll be buzzed by Zoobie Pets $65.95.

Zoobie Pets are a plush animal, a soft pillow and a warm blanket – all in one! Zoobie Pets come in Cheetah (as picture), Hippo, Zebra, Elephant, Monkey and Crocodile designs, and are the perfect home and travelling companions.

Fleurville Kid’s Messenger with bonus lunch bag Green/Pink Ogo $59.95
Fleurville Kid’s Messenger with bonus lunch bag Chocolate/ Tropical Leaf $59.95

I thought we had enough bags, but I am clearly wrong! I love the design of these bags. The fact that they can be worn as a messenger or a backpack, is a massive plus, and the eco-friendly PVC-free fabric really appeals to me.

Rock & Rattle Mohawk Hoodzie $65.95
Knuckleheads Rockabilly Blue Check Shirt $54.95

This Rock & Rattle Hoodzie amps the fun-factor: it comes complete with a removable red mohawk – perfect for your little punker! If Rockabilly is more your scene, then this Knuckleheads vintage-style blue check shirt will be right up your alley.

Il Tutto Mia Tote $449.00

Dads, Mother’s Day is fast approaching. Gift your baby-mama with a present she will love you for! Destined to go on way past the baby stage, Mia is a full nappa leather zip top tote featuring multiple external pockets to keep things within easy reach. This fully-featured bag comes complete with an Il Tutto leather monster teddy.
