Turning Japanese? I Really Think So! Up to 30% Off Sale + Extra 20% Storewide Discount at Kawaii Kids

Posted: July 24th, 2010

Today’s post written by Leah

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Japanese culture, particularly their anime and fashion, has always sparked my interest since I first glimpsed Astroboy on Channel 2 in the early 80s. The artistic flair and unique attitude that this culture tends to encapsulate within their clothing is unrivaled. Western pop stars have often harvested components of Japanese street style to assist in the creation of their own style (think Gwen Stefani and Madonna). In my teens, prior to the genesis of the internet, I appropriated a Japanese pen-pal so I could source bits and pieces for my own collection.

Today, you certainly don’t need to go to these lengths, because one of my very favourite, Australian based, Japanese inspired online stores Kawaii Kids – www.kawaiikids.com.au, has done the hard work for you! Ensuring your child can reflect their individuality in their attire is easy, thanks to the huge array of goodies sourced by Kawaii Kids. Each piece is seriously cute, seriously unique and every one a serious statement piece. There is also an abundance of items to find a gift you know will have the recipient ‘oohing’ and ‘ahhing’.

One of the coolest additions to the Kawaii Kids wardrobe this season, is the Flag Distressed Denim Jeans.The flag emblazoned back pockets and dark distressed denim will have your little man rocking in out with the best of them, especially if teamed with a Let’s Rock Guitar Bag – now how cool are they?! For your little princess, sweetness is the key to attire at the moment, and you won’t be disappointed with the Dark Green Jersey Dress with the cut out back and pinned bow, or perhaps the Cherry Trendy Top for that added quirk factor?

Kawaii Kids stock a sensational range of footwear options in varying styles. A quick perusal through this category will take you to buttery soft leather, suede and faux fur Baby & Toddler Boots for your pre walker; Soomi Leather shoes for boys and girls (my favourite pick is the  Kate variety) and the Gracious May infant maryjanes – all handmade and delectably divine. Take a look, there’s even more to see!

Kawaii Kids are having a relocation sale and are offering all KSF readers an unprecedented 20% off discount across their store, including already reduced sale items. Simply enter code “KSF” in the discount code box at checkout to redeem. Get in quick as this offer expires midnight Friday 30 July 2010.

Just Say Agoo! Up to 50% off Sale + Buy 2, Get Your 3rd Pair of Socks or Legwarmers FREE

If you’re a parent, I would hazard a guess that you would respond with a resounding yes if you were asked if you’d describe your little person as as ‘active’.  From their cosy upside down place in the womb, babies begin this athletic life, squirming, hiccuping and kicking, until their presence is well and truly felt. Upon entering the world they wriggle and giggle and crawl.  They toddle, then walk and then run and jump. Once they are running and jumping – and onlookers are remarking ‘what a bundle of energy’ – there really is no stopping them!

A  house of design that understand these facts and specifically designs clothes for kids on the move is Agoo – www.agoo.com.au. Made from stain resistant and fast drying fibres, Agoo pieces are highly breathable and and wick-away moisture so your active little person can play all day without overheating.

For baby girls my top pick are the Ruffled Princess Pants which you will find in a lovely range of colours. In sizes 2-8 and showcased in the 50% off sale picture below are the Girls Ebony Tops perfect for your hip styled and hip hop dancing girl!

For active little baby boys I love the Twozie Hoodies which have a built in bodysuit…in a hoodie -  what a smart idea! Looking for a seriously comfortable pair of pants for your little man? Then you simply must check out the Boys Trinity Pants.

There’s no time better than now to snap up these clever clothes: Agoo is currently hosting a spectacular sale with up to 50% off all their clothing and jackets, while stocks last until 8 August 2010, and a great offer on Agoo’s funky socks and leg warmers: buy 2 pairs of any designs and get the 3rd pair FREE! Sale prices are as marked and no further discounts apply.
