Mothers of boys it’s time to rock: Furious Kingston – www.furiouskingston.com.au – is on the scene!

I can’t describe this range for boys from 1-6 years better than it’s creator, Cherry Rockette; Furious Kingston is ” handsome clothing and accessories in dapper fabrics, with a vintage hoodlum influence. Inspired by everything from thirties gangsters and molls to psychobilly, acid country and bare knuckle boxing.”

Each Furious Kingston item is hand-made in Melbourne from quality new and vintage fabrics and runs are kept small to ensure that what your little man wears will be as unique as him.

You can purchase Furious Kingston fashion for boys direct from the makers here, or catch the stunning Cherry (if you’re lucky replete in 1940s dress right down to the drawn on stocking seams) at Mathilda’s Market. Prices start at $19.95.

Furious Kingston ship Australia wide via starting at $10.00 per order.

I’m always (*always*!) on the lookout for dresses that will bring a burst of colour and originality to my daughter’s wardrobe and today I am excited to present my latest fabulous find, Shabby Apple Baby by Addi & Kinsi – www.shabbyapple.com.

When shopping for clothes for their daughters the designers behind Shabby Apple originally believed that the fact they couldn’t find quite what they were looking for was due to department stores not buying in the ‘right’ dresses. After extensive research that included trade shows, marketplaces and design studios they concluded that department stores didn’t purchase the right dresses because designers didn’t make them, and  – voila! – Shabby Apple was born and now offers their wonderful 100% cotton, US designed and made garments for babies and girls from birth through to 5 years.  Shabby Apple also produce the Shabby Sister label for tween girls from 6-12 years and Original Shabby Apple womenswear range.

Shabby Apple girls’ items start at USD$34.00 – use the XE currency conversion tool to get prices in AUD$. Shabby Apple happily ship to Australia – please see Shipping Information for details.

If you go down to the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise….

The Polka / Geogami -www.polkakids.com.au –  Autumn/Winter 2011 collection catering for babies, boys and girls sizes 0-6 under the Polka Kids label, and sizes 7-12 under the Geogami Tween banner, is about to hit stores and there are just so many delights (keep a watch on About A Boy, ShopHouse and Whimsy Child who are expecting Polka / Geogami any day now).

The gorgeous, colourful knits are back, but there is a new feeling to the range as well, a certain air of sophistication. There is a wiff of French and a pinch of Scandinavian influence perhaps; its a little bit preppy, but also a little bohemian…..my gosh, there is magic in the air because it all works! The fusion of fashion influences sits just right in Polka’s  latest release and I want it all!

……………..Ev’ry Teddy Bear who’s been good, Is sure of a treat today.
