I love pyjama days; wintry cold days spent snuggled up inside with my family. We warm the house with the oven as it bakes hearty meals, we drink hot chocolate and play card games … not one of us feeling a need to get out of our PJs.

Remaining in one’s night attire needn’t be a shabby affair though: head over to Snugglebum – www.snugglebum.com.au – to grab your baby, tot, kid or teen from birth to 14 years, quality pyjamas, sleepsuits, longjohns, shortjohns, dressing gowns, onesies, rompers, hats and wraps to lounge around with in style.

Snuggling up is even more affordable right now with Snugglebum’s  winter sale where you can grab up to 66% off RRP while stocks last only. That’s the spirit!

Snugglebum charge from $8.00 for Express Post delivery Australia-wide. International orders are welcome. Click here for full postage and delivery information.

Good news for little feet: the See Kai Run – www.seekairun.com.au – and Smaller (pre-walkers) ranges have recently received the prestigious seal of acceptance from the American Podiatric Association for promoting healthy foot development!  We all know how delicate babies’ and toddlers’ feet are, and it’s reassuring as a parent to know that you’re doing the right thing by your kids when you put them in See Kai Run shoes.

We’ve all read that the best thing for the development of little feet is to leave them to go barefoot as often as possible, but let’s face it – that’s not always practical, especially at this time of year.  See Kai Run and Smaller shoes combine a very flexible sole with buttery soft leather uppers, and an equally soft lining with no irritating seams, meaning these shoes feel as good to wear as they do to look at. These features along with the irresistible designs have made See Kai Run and Smaller popular with A-list parents including Angelina Jolie, Katie Cruise, Jessica Alba, Halle Berry and Julia Roberts, whose kids have all been spotted wearing them!

Until midnight on the 24th July 2011, See Kai Run Members can take 25% off all See Kai Run and Smaller shoes! (excludes Eleven range)  You *must* be a member to get the discount though – if you’re not already, apply via this link and a discount code will be emailed to you.  Many styles are already discounted by up to 50%, so hurry before your favourite styles sell out!

The prices below are valid for See Kai Run members for until 24 July 2011, while stocks last.

1. Taylor – Grey, $64.95 less 25% = $48.71
2. Augustin – Blue, $64.95 less 25% = $48.71

Opening Ceremony is a US based retail outlet that combines collections from emerging and established designers, as well as collaborating with the likes of Chloe Sevigny, Spike Jonze, Keds and Timberland to create their own ‘private label’ collections.

They have shops in Manhattan, Los Angeles and Tokyo, and lucky for us and online shop to pick up some unique pieces. This Spring/Summer they have teamed up with the Hong Kong based brand A is for Apple for their very first collection for kids called Opening Ceremony by A is for Apple.

They have some pint-sized versions of Opening Ceremony classics, including the popular Godet dress and patchwork shirt. But I also spied some cute leopard print pieces, French striped sailor shirts, jumpsuits, classic shirts and some very cute pedal pushers.
