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

About A Boy – www.aboutaboy.com.au – has developed a cult following amongst style-conscious parents of boys and girls, and today’s post will give you a very good idea why. You see, Katie at About A Boy stocks a big range of hip gear for boys (and a fair bit for girls too) from Cried Wolf, Sudo, Oishi-M, Polka, Three Little Trees, Minti, Urban Elk, Toetum, Sooki Baby, Ubang Babblechat, Deglingos, Oopsie, Super Zeroes, Littlehorn, Mister Mista, Cut It Out Kids and Bonds. But (to quote the ‘Cat In The Hat’) that is not all, oh no, that is not all…

You have *got* to check out the About A Boy Three Little Trees sale.  Katie has marked all Three Little Trees pieces down by at least 50% off and some are up to 80% off, meaning that you can get clothing of amazing quality and style for your kids at bargain basement prices. You’ll find winter and summer pieces for boys and girls, with adorable options for babies such as the Auckland Humpty Romper and the Moscow Flower Romper.  For older girls I think the Bali Loves Sweater is funky and fun, and for boys I can’t go past the Dirty Socks Tee - as a mum of boys we seem to end up with dirty socks everywhere and this tee gently pokes fun at that.

To add to the hysteria I can feel building, KidStyleFile readers can take an additional 10% off storewide! This includes sale items and is valid until 31 August 2011, while stocks last (please note Sooki Baby items have already reduced by up to 50% off and are not part of this offer). Enter the code KSF at checkout to redeem the discount, and be quick about it because the most popular pieces will sell out in no time.

As a final note, About A Boy is committed to raising $5000 for the Oxfam East African Food Crisis Appeal by the end of the year.  They will donate $1 for every order, and there’s an option at checkout where customers can choose to donate an extra dollar on top of their postage. You can also donate directly and see where the money is going here.  You’ll also see some cool auctions and competitions on About A Boy’s Facebook page, so make sure you’re following it to be kept in the loop.

The Green Guide, August 2011: Get Groovy with {Green} Kid’s Picks

Posted: August 19th, 2011

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

It’s time for another round up of all that’s good, groovy and green in kids’ gear … from yummy birthday cake decorations to awesome, kid-riffic backpacks, August is bursting with earth friendly finds.

The Green Guide is published on the second Friday of each month. Read previous ‘The Green Guide’ posts here.

The Green Guide, August 2011: Get Groovy with {Green} Kid's Picks

 

  1. Gee whiz, I couldn’t help but break into a little round of applause when I spotted this green makeover of the plastic doodle pad. Made in Japan by Oekaki, the beautiful wooden drawing board comes with wooden stampers and pencil, plus an organic cotton drawstring bag to pack it all away in. Lovely.
  2. Jaws will drop when your birthday boy or girl eye’s light upon this fantabulously huge chocolate freckle number. Handmade in Australia, the 10cm tall, totally edible piece would give even Augustus Gloop a fair run for his chocolate lovin’ chops.
  3. How do you make a kid covetable singlet – you know, the one they never want to take off? Well, line up and pay attention, because lovely local label Nan’s Garden is giving us all a lesson in eco-cool fashion. Their fun Sesame Street singlets cutely combine organic cotton, recycled curtain and some much loved puppets. Available in sizing 00 to 6 years.
  4. A funny thing happens when kids go walking: they find sticks. What are sticks good for? Well, if you’re under 5ft, pretty much everything, which is why this branch holder is simply genius. In three colours and sizes, it transforms bored kids into play day gladiators, and all from what’s just lying on the ground.
  5. There may be many a use for old jacquard towels, but not many would be as practical and as pretty as My Poppet’s lovely revamp. This gorgeous bib is brilliantly absorbent and only $8.50, that’s the beauty and value of clever upcycling.
  6. It’ll be a few years before the kids will be making their own dinner (and maybe yours too?), but there’s nothing to stop ‘em getting in a wee spot of practice right now -  especially if it doesn’t involve creating any mucky messes in the kitchen. Green Toys have just the thing. Made from BPA free recycled milk containers, this 27 piece pizza making set comes with order forms and a delivery box, so line up mum and get ready to place an order.
  7.  It might be a little wrong to covet your kids’ gear, but this seriously cute backpack is so right you won’t be able to help yourself.  A-splash with kaleidoscope prints, Fluf’s new companion to their sweet lunch sacks earns a A+ thanks to smart styling that includes an organic cotton outer, water resistant lining and little internal spot for the tikes to scribble their name … bags it first!
  8. So many renovating shows, so many spiffy interiors: hands up if you’ve got a sudden itch to round up all those lay-about dolls and errant toy trucks? Lucky for us, Le Petit Beatnik’s industrially chic toy box is here to lift us from the décor dumps. Made from pine, the stunning organiser comes with lockable castor wheels, and for those with multiple munchins to pick up after, they can also be personalised for maximum order. Oh, and once you’ve finessed the kids’ rooms, why not pep up their wardrobes? Le Petit Beatnik also make a pretty dandy line of organic tees and rompers.
  9. If you think these slippers look adorable now, what ’til you spy them on your little fella’s feet. The woollen wonders are the creation of British label Oromono, who hand make them for tots 1 to 3 years, from their London studio. There’s four terrific themes: farmyard, garden, transport and jungle, an impressive collection that’ll tickle the kids’ toes and their fancy.
  10. These blocks may not appeal to adults (no renovations going on here), but that’s OK, because they’re meant for the tots, and they’re not just another stack ‘em and crash ‘em set either. Nope, the geometric puzzlers aim to tease kids’ grey matter into some pretty clever cognitive computations. It’ll be fun. They may even become Rubik cube champs .. at the very least, you’ll have a few moments of quiet. Sounds good.

Ooh goody, a new store to write about today.  Have you seen Little Yoyo Styles – www.littleyoyostyles.com.au – before?  If not, I strongly recommend you pay it a visit. It’s the kind of online store I love: well designed, easy to navigate and packed full of beautiful items I know my kids will adore.

First of all, I have to rave about the range of Fedora hats available at Little Yoyo Styles. As a mum of two boys I’m constantly looking for ways to spice up their wardrobes, and hats are always a winner.  These Fedoras are so hip that they complete any outfit from a tuxedo to PJs (trust me, we’ve tried it all), and Little Yoyo Styles have such a great selection of colours and patterns, including loads that will suit little girls.  Best of all, they’re only $20!

Little Yoyo Styles also stock the innovative bObles play range of sturdy EVA foam furniture and play shapes, the stylish and practical Fruut toy storage solutions and a fantastic array of toys and accessories. Of particular note are the eco LED owl torches (we have two of these at home and they’re great – anything that survives my kids for more than 6 months gets a huge thumbs up from me) and the Mother Garden Wooden Eggs.  These may be the most simple toy you ever buy for your children, but I can just about guarantee they’ll be played with every day if my household is anything to go by.

Right now you can take 20% off storewide at Little Yoyo Styles using the code kidstylefile. The code is valid until 15 September 2011 and while stocks last. Also check out the Sale Section for a huge range of items discounted by up to 35%, and that’s *before* the extra discount!
