Spring is in the air and it’s time to start packing away all of your winter woollies and begin the hunt for some gorgeous new season threads for your kidlets. Of course KidStyleFile is here to help you by sourcing some of the most stylish stores around that stock the latest, brightest and trendiest threads and top prices.

Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – is one such find, with a staggering array of glorious spring and summer finds, winter clearance and the hottest accessories and baby needs. Labels include: 3 Pommes, ABCD Industrie, Aden + Anais, Annabel Trends, Baby Brands, Beautiful Soles, Bod, Bod for Bubs, Boon, Britt, Catimini, Chalk n Cheese, Cuddledry, David Fussenegger, Egg Baby by Susan Lazar, Fish Lilly, For Walls, Heavenly Creatures, Il Tutto, Isoki, John Crane, Kandy Crew, Kas Australia, Koda Lighting, Korimco, L’il Fraser Collection, Luna Ninos, Marquise, Melobaby, Milk Bands, Minihaha, Minimonkey, Missi Missi, Moppit, Nature Baby, Oobi Baby, Quilt Baby, Ramalama, Samvara Kids, Skeanie, Sprout Design, Tiny Mammoth, Vice Versa, Walnut Melbourne, Well Spotted, Woof! and Zephire Generation and cheer Hip Hip Hooray!

This season, my eye is on Kandy Crew whose eclectic styling will bring a unique feel to Miss N’s wardrobe. I just love the KandyCrew Krista Dress with its lovely frills and glorious red colour. Of course I can’t go past my seasonal favourite Minihaha, and in particular the Minihaha Grace Wide Sleeve Kaftan Shirt which is 100% cotton, a stunning raspberry colour and the perfect top for our trips to the sea.  I do admit, I am finding it almost impossible to pass up a number of selections from the French label 3 Pommes as well.

There is an equal amount of hotter than hot boys pieces in store as well. Woof! continues to please with a wealth of discounted summer treats which I know you will find hard to pass on, including the Woof! Hibiscus Board Shorts which are already reduced by 50% (read on for a sweeter than sweet further discount). Need something for a special occasion, click on Confetti for a range of coordinated pieces that will take your liitle man from backyard warrior to suave spunky boy.

Mariana and the Bubba Funk team never forget *you* either. Click on Yummy Mummy and peruse your options including the ever popular iLTutto range. Of course I’ve been fawning all over the brand new il Tutto Nico Nappy Bag in Platinum Silver which recently appeared in Grazia Magazine  which must confirm its place amongst the most stylish of bags.

One of the first things kids learn to hear, recognise, read and write is their own name. It’s something that truly belongs to them, and provides a strong sense of identity. Once kids start toting belongings around it’s also an essential way of identifying what’s theirs. Good quality name labels are an essential part of any parents arsenal in helping kid and kit stay together. At Mooo – www.mooo.com.au – they’ve gone one better and made name labels not only practical but super cute, too! With the last school term already in progress or not far off it’s time to check your inventory and make sure everything is in order.

Those clever people at Trunki – www.trunki.co.uk – who create ride-on suitcases for little people, thereby saving the sanity of many a travelling parent, have just announced in the addition of two *new* Trunki models to their stable.

Please welcome Freddie the Fire Engine, and Penelope the Princess Carriage!  They come with the many features familiar to Trunki fans: hand luggage sized, ride-on wheeled suitcases, strong enough to carry two kids yet light enough to be easily slung over your shoulder, loads of storage space, and lockable. I could go on, but it’s probably already pretty obvious that I’m a bit of a Trunki fan!

Freddie and Penelope will be available in the UK at the end of this month, but probably won’t hit our shores for a little while after that – we’ll keep you posted.

Say ”Hi’ to Freddie:

and here’s Penelope

Summer is fast approaching, as is the last term of the school year. As such, the popular ‘no hat, no play’ rule is quickly becoming the playground mantra once again. With Master R off to try pre-school again, I’m on the look out for a few hats to cover his time there. The huge selection at Where Did You Get That? – www.wheredidyougetthat.com.au – in their new Children’s  Shoes & Hats category has the issue well covered. My faves are the Goorin Kids Speedway Fitted Cap -  perfect for my little Matchbox addicted man – and the Goorin Kids Lil Buddy Straw Cowboy Hat might just get a look in as well – too cute!

From head to toes now. It’s as if I blink and my kidlets have gone up a shoe size! They barely scuff the toes before they’re onto their next pair, although I must say that I revel in the opportunity to seek out great new footwear for my two munchkins. Morgan and Milo has a number of sturdy, yet trendy shoes for children that will stand the test of time and provide comfort for the wearer. Miss N is a little rocket, zooming from one end of our house with speed, so of course the Morgan & Milo Girls Hot Pink Flame Oxford would be a worthy addition to her collection.

To help you sort your kidlets head and foot wear out this summer Where Did You Get That? are offering all KSF readers 30% off the marked price of all hats and shoes including those that are already marked down. Simply enter code ‘KSF-HS‘ at checkout to redeem this fabulous offer until 27 September 2010.

PS If you’re in the market for storage for your child’s growing collection of playthings, you must check out the new Live Create Play Fruut Sacks and Fruut Tree now in-store at WDYGT? This ingenious storage solution is a toy bag that converts to a toy mat and back again.  Rather than picking each and every piece of LEGO or doll clothing and placing it in a container, the Fruut Sack allows you to keep the pieces on the mat whilst playing and then simply lift the mat up and pull the string at the conclusion of play to create the sack which you can then hand on the stunning wooden Fruut Tree, which also serves as an impressive decor piece.
