Where do you go to get the best of summer fashion for kids?  Straight to Where Did You Get That? – www.wheredidyougetthat.com.au – because they have the full ranges of Tommy Rocket and Two Belles, they have a big range of Daily Tea which is *all* under $30, and they’re the only pure online stockist of Claesens Jr!  Summer fashion has been flying out the door as we begin to get glimpses of the warmer weather ahead, and many of these styles cannot be re-ordered. That means if you see something you like, snap it up!

Summer PJs are the name of the game at the moment, with Tommy Rocket and Two Belles releasing their Cat Nap ranges plus Claesens have a new seasonal sleepwear range too.  Who knows, with sleepwear this gorgeous maybe the kids will even sleep in some mornings?  Heck, it’s got to be worth a go!

Bargains at Where Did You Get That? are better than ever, because when you shop in the already-discounted up to 60% off Winter 2010 section and up to 70% off Clearance section, while stocks last, you can take an *additional* 20% off the marked prices in these sections only. Enter the code ‘CLEAR-THAT‘ at checkout before 5 September 2010 when the code expires.

Now, I was going to show you my favourite new summer pieces but I just couldn’t decide.  Luckily for me members of the KSF team were only too happy to tell me what their faves are and why!

Angela loves the Daily Tea Cosmos Puff Sleeve Dress and the Daily Tea Dragonfly Banded Sleeve Dress.  She says, “I am a long-time fan of Tea Collection and their every day, low cost Daily Tea line. The quality is fantastic and I know from personal experience that these dresses for girls 2-8 years look fabulous on, go from park to party without missing a beat and wash up beautifully. For under $30 you can’t do better for your little girl this summer.”

Edwina is a Claesens sort of girl.  She loves the Boys Army Boxer Two Pack because “Good quality, soft and well made undies are the go… Claesen’s Army boxers would be a big hit with my mini-commandos and with a touch of lyrca they would fit perfectly as well.”  She also says this of the White V-Neck Motorbike Tee: “Love the retro Italian-summer feel about this tee. The motorbike graphics are super cool and the v-neck is great. This would look great with denim shorts or boardies!”

Tommy Rocket is a favourite in Leah’s house, and she was immediately taken with the Snake Charmer tee: “My husband saw this tee and agreed that it was a great addition to Master R’s wardrobe (possibly his first contribution!). Tommy Rocket’s generous sizing will ensure it lasts into next season too!”  Then she spotted the Two Belles Tomboy Jumpsuit: “Don’t be put off by the ‘tomboy’ reference, this little number has ripples of femininity!” and lastly she just couldn’t go past the new Catnap by Two Belles Blackbird Tee Set: “Sleepwear over summer is really important in our house because it’s possiblly the only time of year (due to school holidays) that the kids get to wear them past 7.30 am! This set is comfortable, cute and hardwearing.”

Anna’s favourite boys item is the Tommy Rocket Robot Warrior Tee because “All TR tees are in the perfect size range for the two boys in my life and I always love a tee in cheerful yellow tee – especially with a bit of 80′s nostalgia thrown in!  For girls I love the ease of a sun dress for summer. What could be better than this Chrysanthemum Play Dress for making some fun summer memories? Super sweet.”  I agree!

And me?  Well I have two little boys running me ragged – ahem, I mean lighting up my life – and I absolutely *love* Daily Tea on both of them.  It’s great quality of course, but you also get vibrant colours and seriously striking nature-inspired designs.  I love the Daily Tea Frog Tee below (not least for the expression on the frog’s face – my husband looks at me with that face sometimes!) and the Ticking Stripe Long Shorts which are comfy enough to muck around in all summer but can be dressed up if you need to.

Where Did You Get That? stocks Allen & Unwin Publishers, Angel Flames, Bella Tunno, Belly Art, Candela, Chic by Sha, Claesen’s Evergreens, Coco Boheme, Coo Clocks, Crazy Forts, Daily Tea, Deglingos, Djeco, Dezign with a Z, EcoCocoon, Ellie Bellie Kids, Enchanted Faeries, Eric Carle, Folkmanis, Foogo & Funtainer By Thermos, Girls 4 Sport, Goorin Brothers, Intelliplay, Le Toy Van, Lelli Kelly, Manhattan Toy Company, Merrigold Wooden Toys, MOJO,  Morgan & Milo, Radio Flyer, Stella Cove, Tango Books, Tea Collection, Tommy Rocket, Two Belles, Wagonware, Zid Zid Kids, The String Doll Gang, Freak-O-Bags and Blabbos Buddies.

Baobab – www.baobab.com.au, the brainchild of Australian designer Belinda Blooman, is a label that has etched it’s place firmly into the KidStyleFile all time favourite everyday wear options for it’s innate sense of style and fun, and for the super comfortable and ultra durable 100% cotton each piece is cut from.

The Baobab Spring-Summer 2010/11 collection is a joy to behold: bursts of primary colours sashay through subdued swallow and stag prints; whilst stripes convey a nautical feel.
