Baby’s Got Style owners Gian and Daniela are delighted to welcome a new baby girl to their family.

A baby sister for Allegra, Celeste Iris Minns arrived on the 29th of October.

The ever so talented Lana from Little Posers photography flew down from Brisbane to Sydney especially to shoot Celeste at 1 week old (thank you so much Lana!). She did an amazing job, even though settling Celeste into some of the poses proved a little difficult (she was a bit non-plussed about being shot in the nude! Must have wanted some stylish duds to wear we think).

Thank you for your well wishes. We hope you enjoy these shots, and be sure to check out the Little Posers website to see more of the amazing work Lana does with littlies. She’s truly a marvel! www.littleposers.com.au

With a new baby due at Style Central any day now, I thought it might be fun (and helpful - for me!) to make a list of what has made my “must have” list for bub.

This being our second child (daughter Allegra is 22 months old) I now know what does and doesn't work (and have a garage full of baby products I never used but got talked into buying to prove it). I think you get more practical with each baby - hopefully while maintaining a sense of style!

I've packed the baby bag and hospital bag, the nursery is ready, the teenee tiny clothes are washed and folded and my freezer is full of pasta sauces etc that I have cooked in anticipation of never wanting to cook again. I’ve also stockpiled nappies, tissues and tinned goods… it's like I'm preparing to bunker down for 6 months and never leave the house (a very odd nesting side effect I also got when I had Allegra)!

So here's what has been making its way home from Baby's Got Style HQ… and some other picks from elsewhere that I love!

Will of course keep you posted when bub makes an entrance into the world.

Daniela x


I can’t get through pregnancy without…



Nearly Nude bedtime bra, $64.95. (I wear mine day, night, all the time - never take it off. Well to be fair I have several I cycle - I don’t literally wear the same one all the time!)



Belli elasticity belly oil, $78. I’ve been lathering myself in this for months now - very luxe feeling and with a nice light scent.



Bonds black basics maternity clothing. The leggings with support band ($39.95) in particular got a really good work out. Need all the support I can get!

100,000 baby names by Bruce Lansky. I think I read them all. Some made me laugh, others cry, others made the list only to be crossed off by hubby.

Avene skin recovery cream. So calming, so gentle, so saved me from sobbing in a dermatologists office over my early days of pregnancy red and cranky skin!

Arnott's chocolate scotch finger biscuits. Apparently these have been around for a while. I wish someone had told me! Oh well, the Arnotts company have well and truly benefited from my pregnancy. Allegra’s nap time + cup of tea + chocolate scotch finger biscuit = bliss.

Every week my Grazia subscription takes me to a world where glamour reigns supreme. It's fun, fashion focused and doesn't take itself too seriously. Most importantly it's long enough to savour but short enough that I can actually read it (well I have a week to get through it anyway).

Moleskin daily diary. If it's not in here, it doesn’t get done. Between work, OB-GYN appts, Gymabaroo, mothers group, grocery shopping lists and endless trips to Medicare - it also doubles as a drawing pad for Allegra when she needs occupying in a café and every time I hear a potential baby name it goes in the list down the back! I’m all about lists at the moment…


For Baby

Oh sweet second child. Yes you are getting some well washed hand me downs (Purity sensitive wash - thank you!)

But never fear - I have made sure you will also get some brand new things of your very own.



Bonds lil bonds romper - white pointelle cotton, $29.95 and Pure Baby zip growsuit - grey star, $29.95. They may not be the most fashion forward, daring choices, but I know you’ll live in them those early days. So sweet, soft and baby appropriate. There’ll be time for funky later.




Marquise l/s spencer tee, $10.95
and Bonds basic white l/s top, $9.95. Your big sister lives in these. 100% cotton they’re perfect for layering under summer dresses on a cooler day, they wash like a dream and are the perfect basic to work back with more fun fashion pieces like ruffle bloomers. Can’t have too many as far as I’m concerned! Note to mums: the bonds one is slightly lighter in weight.



Minimonkey sling, $79.95. Looking forward to trying out my minimonkey sling with you inside it all snug and secure (and then adjusting its length so your daddy can have a hold - after all I’ve been holding you for 9 months!).

Wraps galore! Li’l Fraser, Aden & Anais, Pure Baby and Oobi… they’re all coming home with us. I know from experience a few is never enough.

Li’l Fraser, $26.95

Aden and Anais $36.95 (set of two)

Oobi, $29.95

Pure Baby, $16.95

And for Allegra: a stroller and baby doll of her very own. We’re going to be quite a sight walking down the street together aren’t we (and why do I already get the feeling I’ll end up having to push both strollers?)



And a special day out with a trip to the zoo - a final little outing just the three of us. After a little momentary shock at seeing Giraffes in the flesh (you mean they don’t just live in my story books?) she had a ball. Seeing the newly born baby elephant gave me some perspective on what I am about to do. Massive respect to Taronga’s mama elephant Thong Dee at birthing baby Luk Chai. He was 96 kilos at birth with a 22 month gestation. All I can say is - yikes!
