This season Louise Misha takes us on an exceptional journey to the heart of Latin America. If there’s a mythical land with overwhelmingly beautiful landscapes that is home to a people with captivating glances and an ancient history, it is definitely Peru, the land of the Incas. The Parisian label is renowned for its modern bohemian styles featuring bright pops of colour, hand-made embroidery and beautiful natural fibres.

With silky velvets, airy silks, warm, floaty knits, Andes embroideries, scalloped ruffles and delicate laces, Louise Misha reworks the heritage of the fascinating country of Peru by softly, delicately attaching it to its own strong identity.

For the Winter 19 collection we are thrilled to introduce the new Women's lingerie line, along with the most beautiful mother / daughter looks.This collection is oh so easy to wear, exceptionally beautiful, and will have everyone asking, where did you get that outfit?

Tell us who you are and what do you do at rundreisetipps?

I’m the owner and one of two directors. I am responsible for buying – but as we’re a small team, I am involved in literally every aspect of the business, from packing orders to uploading products, to answering customer enquiries… absolutely everything you can imagine! Marketing, social media, everything.

You run rundreisetipps with your husband, Toby – what’s his role?

We’ve never really differentiated our roles, but I think we’ve just fallen into the parts that we’re more skilled at. He’s definitely better at all of the IT side, finding new marketing avenues, and customer service.

What does a typical day (if there is a such thing!) in your life look like?

I usually wake up around 6am with my 18-month-old, and then it’s just the normal morning mayhem of getting dressed, getting everyone breakfast, getting lunches made etc. if it’s a school day. Our 3-year-old goes to junior kindy at school three days a week, so if it’s a school day I’m doing the school run, and then home to start on rundreisetipps.

We then check all the emails that have come in overnight, reply to any customer emails and print out orders. If there’s a launch, we check that’s being managed and is going smoothly, then it’s packing orders, afternoon school run, then home to do some more orders, and then a few hours with the kids before bed time. After they’re in bed, depending on how busy we are, if it’s buying season or launches then it’s usually getting prepared for whatever’s happening the next day.

You and Toby are both passionate about sustainability in the fashion industry, and ensuring that rundreisetipps is run as sustainably as possible – how does this play out day-to-day?

Last year we switched to the biodegradable shipping packaging, which we use for as many of our orders as we can. We try to look to brands that are also implementing these measures. Some of our labels will now ship to us in biodegradable packaging, which we like to encourage everyone to do.

We also make sure that we only ever work with brands that, their processes are as sustainable as possible, that they are ethical, and their clothes are manufactured to the highest standards, from a humanity perspective as well as what’s being produced.

What are the biggest challenges of running an ecommerce store?

There’s so many. I think the importance of marketing doesn’t really get spoken about enough, but behind the scenes, the amount of time and effort that goes into that is huge.

And being able to communicate who you are without having that tactile element, you don’t have that physical store where people can actually come and see the colours that you’re going to put on the wall, the music or the sensory things, so being able to communicate that in different ways through your social media, the colours that you put on your website, and how you display your website, becomes paramount.

How did your career aspirations change after becoming a mother?

So, to rewind,I studied commerce at uni – I did an accounting and financial planning major. I then worked for an accounting firm for four years, then worked for an oil and gas company for 10 years in the finance department as financial controller.

I’ve always been quite driven throughout my career and wanted to achieve certain things, but that changed when I had children. When I went on maternity leave with my first child, I realised that going back to that role wasn’t going to quite work, because it was a lot of hours and a lot of travel. So I started to look at opportunities for something I could do from home.

I started my own online children’s boutique, but I realised fairly soon, just after I had my second child, that in order to be successful you needed to be on a much bigger scale. And then rundreisetipps came up as an opportunity to acquire, and that’s how we ended up with rundreisetipps.  

How do you wear both your ‘business owner’ and ‘mum’ hats at once? Any tips?!

I think everyone finds it difficult! I don’t think there’s any one-size-fits-all answer; I think that you just need to be flexible. And it really depends on what age and stage your kids are currently at, which is obviously constantly changing. I definitely work around my 18-month-old’s schedule, so when he’s sleeping I will get a lot more work done than when he’s awake. I prioritise making sure my children have been out and about, and done something during the day, mealtimes and things like that.

I find it’s still possible to work, I’ve got a good support network with my husband, so we are able to balance it between us, I think quite well, hopefully! I think having an outlet, which happens to also be a business, definitely makes me more balanced as a mum – I hope!

What have you found to be the most challenging part?

Well, we’re in the toddler phase at the moment, so the tantrums can be a bit epic. I think it keeps changing – every phase you think, ‘This is so challenging’. It depends what phase you’re in. But sleep deprivation is always tough. And stubbornness! Just sheer exhaustion, it’s like nothing else.

What type of mother do you aspire to be?

It’s so cliché, but I probably aspire to be like my parents. They both always worked and probably instilled that work ethic in us. We were never bored – there was always something to do. I think if my children end up like that, then I’ll be quite happy. I’d like them to understand what it takes to work, and understand the world, but also to be able to occupy themselves.

I also look to other women who are balancing kids and also following their career path or their passion. I definitely look up to those women and how they’ve managed to achieve all that.

What does success mean to you?

That’s a good question – and a really hard one to answer. Probably something a lot different to what I thought it looked like 10 years ago! I think obviously being comfortable in your lifestyle financially – that to me is successful, as opposed to being wealthy. Working hard too and seeing what you’re working at come to fruition.And creating a beautiful, happy family environment for my beautiful children to grow up in – at the end of the day, that to me is success.

Emmi Masten is one of the creatives behind Australian label ‘Isabeau’, which offers stylish, modern robes in vivid colours and stunning botanical prints. She is married to professional footballer Chris Masten from the West Coast Eagles and together they welcomed their first child, Tex last year.

I sit down with Emmi to chat about her career, motherhood and what’s next for this beautiful family.

What inspired you to start Isabeau?

I’ve always invested in beautiful loungewear and felt there was a market for effortless robes that showcased interesting prints and came with an affordable price tag. I also wanted something I could throw on while getting ready to go out or for lazing around on the weekend.

The range is gorgeous, we love the effortless elegance that Isabeau exudes.  Would you say this is an extension of your personal style?

Isabeau is definitely an extension of my personal style. My love affair for botanical prints has continued to grow and these days I try to inject a lot more colour into my dressing.

How has your personal style and wardrobe changed since becoming a mum?

I definitely haven’t rethought my style since becoming a mother, however I’d say I’ve had to master a few time management skills when it comes to dressing! I do now live in my sneakers which I usually pair with a relaxed dress or good quality jeans. Dry Shampoo is also my new best friend or a classic topknot hairstyle!

What is the best thing about being a mum?

Oh where do I start? Gosh this is a hard one. Perhaps the infinite love one person can have for you. Or maybe it is the huge grinning smile I receive each morning I wake Tex up. That look just sets me up for the day ahead!

As he grows, I see wonderful qualities of my husband in him. No matter how chaotic and hard some days seem, I look forward to each new day with him.

What is the most challenging thing about being a mum? 

To me I would say it is just trying to be the best version of myself that I can be for him. I want to give my son the best experience of life and some days I ask myself ‘Am I doing enough?”. Sleep deprivation was a real challenge during the early stages but you get through it and you are onto the next thing.

It’s all a massive learning curve and you just have to have confidence in your method.

As a mother, what is your trick to multitasking?

My trick is having a wonderful support system! I’m so lucky to be so close to my mother and mother-in law who help out whenever they can. I try to get as much work done during Tex’s midday sleep but it really comes down to prioritising and realising you can’t do it all and it is ok to say no to certain things!

Tell us a bit about Tex’s style. Who is the biggest shopper, you or Chris? And what are some of your favourite brands for Tex?

I would say Chris is probably a bigger shopper than I am (his wardrobe is double the size of mine)! When it comes to Tex’s clothing, I love anything playful and loud! I thought I would end up dressing him in more of a classic way, however there are so many amazing international labels bringing out fun prints that I can’t help myself. My favourite kids designers at the moment are Bobo Chooses, Tiny Cottons, Mini Rodini and The Animals Observatory.

2018 was a massive year for you, welcoming your son, Tex, and of course the Premiership, and now 2019 is shaping up to be just as big. Can you share your news with us?

Yes 2019 will make it two under two as we welcome a new baby in October! Life is about to get even more crazy and we cannot wait.

Congratulations Emmi, Chris & Tex!!! We have loved getting to know you and Tex, and look forward to continuing to follow your family's journey.

This is the second season that we have stocked new Melbourne based label, Goldie & Ace, and we are as impressed as anyone with this labels evolution and direction in bringing something fun, new and totally unique to the often flooded and samey children's wear space. This seasons collection 'Almost Famous' brings us a heavy dose of 80's nostalgia in the form of wearable everyday styles with thoughtful details cut from lux fabrics, including terry towelling, linen, soft stretch cotton jersey and 100% wool. Our favourite from this collection would have to be the insanely cool 100% wool Rainbow Knit Sweater.

Currently only catering to the younger age bracket, styles are available in sizes 0-3M to 5 years. Designers Alana and Chris subscribe to a quality over quantity, buy less, wear it more and pass it on ethos with many of the styles being unisex.

Definitely one to watch, we are excited to see what Goldie & Ace bring to us next.
