iphone italk : country road

i may need to put a shoppers warning on this post, so be warned retail junkies! the country road iphone app has thought of some great app features. apart from viewing the newest collections with extreme ease, you can enter in your card/member number and receive notifictaions of your benefits, like your spend and save offers, and you can also see your year to date spendage. you can use the store locator to find your nearest store, with opening hours, maps and contact details.

a very cool app that's worth the free download. just search country road.

free postage on minti orders at mia & ollie

my little baby is turning 2 in may and i've been having loads of fun shopping for presents for her. while she's still young enough, and while i can still be the one who decides what she wears, i've decided to mainly buy her clothes. i timed it well to have her in may, right after all the new season winter fashion has arrived. i am loving this years winter. are you??

i'm also loving the big new world of the wonderful size 2! first on the pressi list was this super cool minti trackie. i have been eyeing this off for a while and was just patiently waiting for it to hit the stores. i just love it and i really do want this in my size! please?! now there's an idea... minti could call the collection, minti mum?!

one of the first stores i seen on facebook notifying us of the new minti winter arrivals were mia & ollie, who are a fairly new store, and a new stockist for the minti label. so i got chatting with the lovely owners, sonya and cath, and we decided to come together to offer you gorgeous people a little deal for the minti winter collection. and that being free postage. nice hey? so if you are keen for some free postage, you'll need to head to the mia & ollie facebook page, and in the photos section you'll see the minti 2010 album. to order, leave your name, email address and the size you are after under the image of what you want to order, and put in there referred by yummy mummies, so they know to post it for free. the girls will contact you straight away to confirm your order, grab your details and organise payment. easy. here's a little selection of what they have on offer for you. happy shopping!

the nursery fairy

when i was home for christmas, i just had to pop in and check out this divine little shop that i had seen online and heard so much about. the nursery fairy is a family owned and operated business, in my home town of wagga wagga. it came about when the owners designed a nursery for their friends as a gift back in 2002. from there, a service for designing themed nurseries and rooms in the country area had evolved. and so the nursery fairy was born.

the gorgeous little shop, aka the nursery fairy headquarters, has got all of the newest and latest nursery goodies, things for babies, things for big kids and things for the mum-to-be (i spied a cute little pregnancy journal in the shop when i called in). the nursery fairy continue to offer their decorating services, and also host baby showers either in store or out. you can even create your own baby registry and share it around with your family and friends so once baby is here, he or she can be spoiled from head to toe in nursery fairy goodies!

this was my favourite from the store, an orange fish pouf. i tried really hard to think of a way to attach it to our car so we could bring it back home, but my plan had no chance of surviving, our car was jam packed on the way back, i'm suprised we even fit ourselves in!
