Shop of the week: Seed Heritage

This weeks shop of the week is Seed Heritage clothing for kids....

Seed is an Aussie label which started in suburbia Melbourne. From there it has flourished & they now have shops all over Australia & a few in Asia.

Seed heritage has womens, girls, boys , baby & now teen clothes & even a candy store. Today I'm reviewing the kids shop.

I adore Seed kids clothing & accessories. Their clothing is right on trend as well as being playful, fun, a bit quirky & chić.

I think they are known for their brightly coloured patterned leggings. No colour in the rainbow is ever missing and no pattern is overlooked. From stars, leopard print, stripes & bold colours. They really add a bit of oomph to your child's outfit & it's fun seeing them deessed in something besides blue jeans.

Their current collection is filled with cute jumpers, from sequinned squirrels, bunnies with Pom Pom tails, perky looking parrots & other cute little critters. They always have lots of gorgeous cardigans for girls (which is important for a Melbourne girl, no matter what age as our weather is so unpredictable) & some smart looking jackets for boys. I would say the boys clothes are a bit more conservative than the girls with a focus on smart & handsome but always with a bit of edginess like a pop of colour.

They also have a beautiful baby range with classic jumpsuits, fun little leggings for both sexes (their current collection has mo's for boys & penguins for girl - über cute! ) And always with cosy & cute little beanies! It's hard to go pass seed for a newborn present.

But it's their accessories which take my breath away & the money from my wallet! It's impossible for me to walk into a Seed store & not come out with a pair of hair clips! They have bowls of accessories that look like liquorice allsorts & bubble gum balls. I feel like when I'm at their front counter I am in a candy store, not a clothing store!

And it doesn't end there, they also have brightly coloured headbands, cute as a button handbags & shoes which are simply too cool for school.

Seed Heritage is a fun filled shop which stimulates your senses & makes you feel happy as you browse around looking at their clothes, accessories & cool shop fit out.

Shop of the week: Peter Alexander

I love pajamas!
And I love Peter Alexander Pajamas.
I have been wearing them since I was a teenager ordering them off the catalogue - how Peter Alexander started his business.  I still remember the pair I took on School camp!
They last FOREVER and have always been fun, quirky and comfortable enough that you wouldn't hesitate to wear them all day or even out of the house! Of course I'm wearing the flannelette as I write this blog post!

So, this weeks Shop of the week goes to the Pajama king - Peter Alexander!

Peter Alexander has a great story. Melbourne born and bred, he was voted "least likely to succeed" at high school according to Wiki. I guess he took that negative attitude towards him and turned it into something fabulous. Not only is he an entrepreneur but he is a great guy (I've heard him talk in the past) and has a great business which is full of  fun.

His PJs are quirky, kawaii - cute, colourful, humourous and also classic. He has fun styles like toasters, vegemite, gingerbread men, ducks, clouds, rainbows, dogs - his passion and so many more fun filled designs he has come up with over the past 25+ years... They are also classy & chic with beautiful florals and gorgeous colours. PA also designs fun mens PJs - the current collection includes beetle cars, eggs and toast and dog cross bones to name a few. Of course they have some equally as cute kids PJs - and some kids Pjs even match the womens collection  - what a great Mother's Day present, matching PJs! Too cute!
Accessories, ugg boots, knick knacks, books and other fun things fill the gaps between PJs in store.

Peter Alexander's shop windows, just like his Pjs make you happy. How could I resist walking pass this cute window and not snap away for shop of the week. It just made me smile.

With over 50 stores in Australia and New Zealand - I guess he proved his High school teachers and peers wrong - nothing better than that is there!!

check out his website here  - winter in Aus is on its way. Who wouldn't want to be pulling on a pair of his flannel Pjs on a cold, rainy night or a pair of cute boxer shorts for those going into the warmer weather.
