Reason to be Happy #5: More Polka Doo-Rag Headbands in Stock, Collette Dinnigan Enfant comes to town, and Small Paul is here!

Have I told you how in love I am with these Polka headbands (they call them ‘Doo-rags’)? I think I have, but I’ll say it again, because Gee-whizzikins, I love them! They look so fabulous, adding a splendiforous colour injection to any and every outfit we own (see below). The girls love wearing them too (and leave them on!), which is great because they making ‘doing’ hair a snap. They are also robust. I know this because I discovered my two using them as two-legged race bands (!!!), and they didn’t sweat it. Phew!

Polka  Doo-Rag Headbands (one size) $16.95

Lay out the red carpet, because Collette Dinnigan Enfant is now at Baby’s Got Style. Oh, boy, these dresses are truly gorgeous, and even more so in real life. The detailing and quality is exceptional, and the feeling they evoke is of calm, warm evenings in palatial surrounds.

These are keepers, to be handed down again and again to be worn on special occassions through many generations. If you have a Christening, Naming Day or other special day coming up, these are the ultimate attire.

Collette Dinnigan Enfant Sophia Lace Dress $199.95
Collette Dinnigan Enfant Charlotte Dress and Cap $299.95

Lastly, a drop of Small Paul by Paul Frank has now landed at BGS. The co-ordinating Julius stripe tops and leggings are an urban-cool winner for little tots, and the sock monkeys are a brilliant Chrissy present gift for any funky kid. (We have these fellows in our home, and I can vouch for their good manners, and affable natures.) A decent size, with infinitely grabbable limbs and tail, these soft and friendly - and very affordable -  mild-mannered characters will look so cute poking out of the Santa sack.

Small Paul by Paul Frank Sock Monkey in Pink $19.95
Small Paul Blue Sailor Stripe Julius Top by Paul Frank $24.95 and Small Paul Blue Sailor Stripe Julius Leggings by Paul Frank $19.95 (Both available in sizes 000-1 year)
Small Paul by Paul Frank Sock Monkey in Red $19.95

Today’s post written by Miki.

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

On Friday last week, my dear friend Annie gave birth to a long-awaited, beautiful little IVF miracle baby named Jessica Grace.

As a very proud and excited honorary auntie, I’ve spent the weekend trawling through the internet trying to find the perfect present for a perfect baby girl.

I am happy to announce that I think I’ve got it!  I’m going to Onesies - www.onesies.com.au - and I’m stocking up on Purebaby growsuits for her.

I love Onesies because they stock only the best one-piece suits for babies from all my favourite designers, such as Bebe by Minihaha, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh, Rock Your Baby, mill&mia and many more… plus, of course, my pick - Purebaby. And just to make my choice even easier, they offer FREE gift wrapping!

I adore Purebaby because every piece is made of the finest 100% organic cotton, so not only is it environmentally sensitive, it’s absolutely, exquisitely soft - perfect for a newborn’s delicate skin.  Trust me, once you’ve felt organic cotton you’ll never go back!

Purebaby pieces are also beautifully designed with a ‘modern classic’ feel to them.  The new season’s styles include soft terry towelling and nautical styles for boys and girls, and some adorable mint and green prints for girls.

They’re beautiful to look at, and as they’re also superb quality and divinely soft I think they make the perfect gift.  The hard part for me now is choosing which designs to buy - they’re all so gorgeous!

As I’m far from being the only fan of Purebaby at KidStyleFile, Alice from Onesies is giving us a huge 25% off all Purebaby - yes, that does include new season’s stock! - until 16 December.

Enter ‘purebaby’ at checkout to redeem this brilliant discount.

I’m thrilled, as that generous discount just means I can add more to my cart and spoil baby Jessica even more!

Now just before I sign off, I need to point out something else totally adorable I’ve just spotted at Onesies, which you won’t see anywhere else: the new limited edition Itch Design onesies!  It’s the first time Itch Design have done onesies, and these stunning designs are selling out quickly so grab ‘em while you still can - once they’re gone, they’re gone for good!

2. Purebaby Doggy Growsuit, $29.00 $21.75

Those Christmas bells are ringing louder every day now. Before we know it, the big day will be upon us, and the little ones will be racing out to see what’s under the tree, and delightedly exploring the contents of stockings and sacks.

ShopHouse - www.shophouse.com.au - has a delicious range of goodies in especially for the big event, notably the Cocoon Couture Christmas Sacks.

These delightful sacks are designed in Australia, and made of the most gorgeous retro-styled fabric and cute-as appliques. Available in a range of 7 sweet designs for good little boys and girls, Santa will be charmed, I’m sure!

To get your Cocoon Couture sack off to a good start in the presents department, Bronwyn at ShopHouse is gifting KSF readers a Cocoon Couture Wooden Charm (RRP $12.95) with every sack purchased. This offer is valid while stocks last - and that won’t be long (last year ShopHouse sold out of these sacks in just one week), so hurry, hurry!

The Cocoon Couture charms are truly lovely to behold. These 24cm long treasures feature the bird and leaf motifs from Cocoon Couture’s award-winning  Enchanted Tree.They are the perfect stocking filler, and look beatiful hung in windows, on doorknobs, handles, and even on the Xmas tree!

Bronwyn also has another great offer, exclusive to KSF readers.

Buy two pieces of clothing from the Pure Baby range, and Bron will gift you with a ‘I Love My Babycinos’ boardbook (valued at $9.95), while stocks last.

Pure Baby produce the softest, and gentlest organic clothing pieces (in both a material and design sense) for babies from birth to 2 years, and with this giggle-worthy book (dribble tested, no less! Never fear, that won’t be your copy ), this would make a completely wonderful pressie: friends and family of the under 2 set, take note!

My Pure Baby picks? The PJs with their oh-so-cute wraparound dog print top, and go anywhere-stripey pants. These ‘Js are definitely too cool just to be worn for bedtime.

Mention ‘KSF Pure Baby offer’ in comments field at checkout, when you purchase 2+ pieces of Pure Baby clothing, to score your free book.

Off on a tangent now, but so exciting, so simply must tell you!

ShopHouse are now stocking the new Krooom furniture and accessories, and they are GOR-GEOUS (and quirky: get a load of the log stool: looks real, huh? It’s cardboard!).

Krooom products are made of environmentally friendly recycled cardboard, and they’re very affordable. Double walled for strength and durability, I am wildly in love with the new pieces, and their nature-themes designs. Jazz up a little one’s room (or a home-office maybe?) with ease with these.

Last, but not least, another tip-off for you: you can get FREE postage at ShopHouse until 30 November with the ShopHouse Shop 4 Kids magazine code. Visit this page to collect the code and score postage absolutely FREE! Woo!

Oh my goodness, I have just seen the cutest thing!! Really, you must head on over and check out Onesies - www.onesies.com.au - regardless of your child’s age.Onesies do what you think they might: sell onesies. Only onesies; the most adorable, stylish and high-quality onesies on the web. Clever, huh?

On their delightful website, Onesies stock simply the most impressive and substantial selection of the onesies, or baby bodysuits, I have ever seen. It is Onesie Heaven! If you’re a mum-t0-be, or the friend or family of such a mum, Onesies is the ideal place to stock up for your impending new addition.

Onesies constitute a wardrobe staple for little babies: they are super-comfy, and the snaps are ultra practical for holding nappies in place, and for easy fuss-free changes. The incredible choices that Onesies afford us, make it easy to inject style and personality into this essential attire.

Choose from onesies both local, and imported, in short and long-sleeved varieties from Bebe by Minihaha, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh, Earlybirds, Fig Organic, Gaia Organic, Heavenly Creatures, Infancy, mill&mia, Nanoou, Ouch, Pure Baby Organic, Quilt Baby USA, and Rock Your Baby.

I had so much fun making the picks today, such sweet memories of my own kids when they were little sprouts, and a wealth of ideas for gifts for the next batch of gorgeous bubs coming soon to my neck of the woods.

I just adore Danish brand Nanoou; the fabrics and prints suggest a magical Scandinavian fairyland to me. I can just imagine a little baby girl in the Bebe by Minihaha onesie cool on a hot summer’s day, and a little boy hanging out and scooting about in a fabulous Infancy animal onesie (Infancy is one of my gifting favourites, by the way, I love the cotton elastane composition that gives a fine fit).

Onesies are so well connected and respected that delicious Melbourne label Heavenly Creatures has designed two gorgeous appliqued pieces - ‘Nina Ballerina’ and ‘Gordon Giraffee’ - especially for Onesies. Your little one will look really special in one of these!

Onesies also stock a lovely range of organic cotton and bamboo produce options for babies with sensitive skin and an ecological conscience. One of my fave organic brands is Fig Organic from the US. The fabric is soooo soft, and Fig have a great design aesthetic; I really dig their prints and quirky sewn-in message tags.

I also want to make a special mention of Onesies’  prem baby section, which offers a great range of onesie options for premmie and small babies. As a mum of two sub-2kg babes myself (now strapping 4 year olds!), I can tell you that it’s lovely to have clothes that fit your little baby/babies. You will be well sorted here.

Ok, before we move on to the visual feast, I have to tell you something special and important: to celebrate their opening, Alice at Onesies is offering KidStylefilers a huge 25% off everything in-store!! YAY! All you need to do is enter the code ‘ksf’ at checkout and the discount will be calculated for you.

This offer ends November 10, so make your moves before it’s too late.

We’re on a roll with Summer ‘09 ranges at the moment, so it is with great delight that I report to you that the new stock is in the house at ShopHouse - www.shophouse.com.au!

We’re longtime ShopHouse fans at KidStyleFile, and who can blame us when you consider that the brands stocked include Annabel Trends, Baobab, IDTee, Kee-Ka, Lil’ Lana, mill & mia, Mondays Child Pyjamas, Oobi Baby - skin and hair care products (Bod and Eco.Kid), a lovely range of toys and decor pieces from Alimrose Designs, Moltex nappies, Organic Bubs baby food, Cocoon Couture, Krooom, Little Chipipi, Look at the Wall, Mon Tresor, Little Kitchen, and The Little Experience, must-have accessories from Penny Scallan, PouchMISS and Rileah Design, not to mention one of our organic favourites, and the little dog laughed.

New in store at the moment is the delightful Oobi Summer ‘08/’09 range which features pretty party dresses for little girls in retro-inspired fabrics and sporting rosette and sash details.  These are the perfect summer ‘dressy’ dress for your little princess!

For baby and toddler girls I adore the sailor dresses, and the boys don’t miss out either with sweet little Sunday Suits (these are my pick of the day - too cute for words!). Also check out ShopHouse’s range of Oobi Summer accessories, with hats, bibs and hair clips to compliment every Oobi outfit!m

mill&mia are out in force with their new Summer range too - designed in Melbourne and appropriately hip, we’re looking at girls’ skirts and dresses in a comfy yet stylish t-shirt fabric and a boys range featuring a vintage robot print.  Awesome!  It’s impossible to go past the quality of mill&mia, everything has been so beautifully put together.

During the month of October, purchase any three items from the mill&mia range and receive a super-cute mill&mia Padded Rabbit valued at $21.95.  These little rabbits are just adorable, made from the delft daisy and kiss daisy chain cotton/linen from mill&mia’s Summer ‘09 range.

Pure Baby are pure organic bliss, perfect for delicate skin.  With Pure Baby’s impossibly soft cotton and crisp, stylish designs these pieces can’t be beaten for newborn gifts - and since it seems to be ‘baby arrival season’, I bet you know at least one person due around now!  So there you go - pressie sorted; just grab some Pure Baby goodness from ShopHouse. Pure Baby clothes go right up to size 2 years, so why not nab some for your own tot while you’re at it?

The last designer I’ll profile before I give in and go nuts with the images is Australian kids swimwear label Cuddlefish

First of all, Cuddlefish is brilliant because you can be comfortable in the knowledge that delicate skin is protected from the harsh antipodean sunlight with 50+UV fabrics. Secondly, it’s great because the buoyancy aid swimsuits help kids stay safe and gain confidence in the water all day long - no more putting on and taking off buoyancy aids all day. Thirdly, Cuddlefish is great because… well, it just looks so darn cute!

ShopHouse have the full range of buoyancy aid swimsuits, short- and long-sleeve swim tees, swim shorts, hats and terry ponchos, making it a one-stop-shop for kids beach and pool wear this summer.

Bronwyn at ShopHouse is offering a brilliant incentive to shop at The House this October by offering a $5 store credit when you spend over $50 (including postage), and a $12 store credit when you spend over $100! 

To redeem your credit, all you have to do is tell Bronwyn who your favourite kidswear designer is -  and it doesn’t even have to be one that she currently stocks!  Leave the info in the comments field at checkout and she’ll set up your credit.  Thanks Bronwyn

Another ShopHouse giveaway tip for you: sign up to the ShopHouse newsletter during October and go into the running to win an outfit from organic designer ‘and the little dog laughed’. Go to the ShopHouse homepage to sign up now!

Last of all, if you’d like to get yourself FREE Express postage at ShopHouse, grab a copy of Shop 4 Kids magazine to get the exclusive KSF discount code; it expires on October 31, so make the most of it! (Read the full terms and conditions here). Can’t get to a newsagent? Check the KSF Weekly Newsletter to pick up the code. Not a subscriber? Sign up here.

Newborns are such precious little souls. Among the host of delectable features is their delicate soft-as skin. As a parent you just want them to be comfy and cosy at all times.
