When I was little I desperately wanted to be a fairy. Fairies did not have to do homework, chores or eat brussel sprouts; instead they got to freely roam secret gardens, frolicking day and night at whim. Although now an adult, there are still days when I want to fly away; instead I am going to forget about my chores for a while and spend some down-time shopping at Fairy Jardin – www.fairyjardin.com.au - an online boutique specialising in clothing, footwear, toys, books, accessories and, of course, all things fairy!

My family has been joking that we’ll all need to take out a second mortgage to cope with the number of big celebrations that have fallen on the same year. First up is a black and white themed party, and I think the Gigi Lydia Pants and the Millicent Dress will be a fab look for one of my girls. I also love the Willow & Finn Velvet Dress in Berry Red for another party – the design is timeless, the fabric lush and the colour simply divine; plus at 58% off it is a steal. If you have a boy to dress for a coming party, may I suggest you quickly snap up the Eternal Creation chocolate pinstripe waistcoat, it is so on trend, and currently on sale for $18.95 down from $44.95, representing a saving of 58%!

If you have a baby who is learning to crawl then you might want to take a look at the great range of legwarmers on offer at Fairy Jardin. Not only do they keep legs warm on cooler days (great to have in the car for when the weather suddenly turns), but they are fabulous for use with crawling babies to help protect their cute little knees from cold, slippery or scratchy flooring. For a limited time a selection of Agoo legwarmers are reduced from $14.99 to $10.99, making it the perfect time to stock up.

Fairy Jardin are currently having a fab clearance sale with savings of up to 83% on offer! Prices are as marked and no code is needed, but these items are only available while stocks last so you might want to hurry on over… until next time, happy frolicking.

Sale prices below are for a limited time, while stocks last only.

One. Assorted Agoo Bamboo Legwarmers Were $14.95 each Sale $10.99
Two. Gigi Lydia Pants 2 Were $61.60 Sale $24.95 (Seen with the Millicent Dress available for separate purchase)

I’ll admit that I much prefer shopping for my kids than myself. When their wardrobes need some TLC, you’ll always find me online, where it’s calm and quiet with zero chance of tantrums.  As a constant hunter for all things hip, the selection of super cool duds is most certainly on the up. Australian stores are hearing our call, and finally the boys are getting a piece of some well earned stylish action.

This season, our little demons are pulling off their pullovers and getting back into boardies. You’ll see lots of ocean blues, minty greens and accents of black mixed with soft greys and hard edged graphics. Retro prints and old school illustration make a comeback thanks to Baobab and Mister Mista, while geometry is also loud and proud, with Munster and Katvig having fun with daring stripes.

If I was allowed a favourite, I’d probably have to say Minti. I just love the classic basics mixed with vivid t-shirts and cool pants. However, as the weather warms up, we must also remember to keep our kids sun protected. On that note, don’t forget that Agoo are giving away a free pair of Kidz Banz sunnies while stocks last until 30 September 2011, when you buy one of their 50+UV protected shirts. Now isn’t that’s a great incentive to slip, slop, slap?!

one: Oobi Marshall Sleeveless Hoodie in Blue $39.95 at Shophouse
two: Baobab Bike Family Tee in Blue $39.95 at Baobab
three:  Kutie Protocol Olive and Popeye Jeans $79.95 at Little Pinwheel
four: Minti Spinning Record Tee in Red $39.95 at Cradle Rock
five: Minti Check Boardies in black $44.95 at Cradle Rock
six: Mister Mista Hang Loose Hoody $59.95 at Mister Mista
seven: Agoo Journey Tee with Denim Graffiti $38.00 PLUS free pair sunglasses valued at $24.95, while stocks last until 30 Sept 2011
eight: Bobo Choses Moon Tea in Blue $55.00 at Charlie’s Bucket
nine: Munster Mosaic Boardies $54.95 at Cradle Rock

This September, Alison and the team at Agoo – www.agoo.com.au – are celebrating National Shade Day.  They rightly point out that being sun-smart isn’t just about slip-slop-slapping when you go to the beach. Melanoma is the most frequently occurring cancer in Australians aged 15-44, so whether you’re at the park, out for a bike ride or simply pottering around in the back yard, protecting your kids’ delicate skin is more important than ever.

Thanks to Agoo, being sun-smart is also stylish, plus Agoo’s sun-smart shirts and all-in-ones are rated UV50+ and they’re non-sweaty so your kids will be cool, comfortable and safe from nasty rays.  Even better yet, to celebrate National Shade Day, Agoo are giving away a pair of high quality kids’ sunglasses (you get to choose your favourite pair, while stocks last) with every Agoo 50+ shirt or onesie sold, AND they’ll donate $5 to the Melanoma Institute of Australia!  Look through the categories here to see the tops and sunglasses on offer.

But just in case you needed even more incentive to stock up on sun-protective clothing for your munchkins, keep this in mind: the first 20 KidStyleFile readers to purchase an Agoo 50+ top or onesie will also receive a FREE Baby/Kid Banz Hat valued at $19.95!  Enter the code KSFNSD at checkout to redeem your hat, but remember it’s only the first 20 to purchase who’ll actually get one, so don’t delay.

This week Santa Claus will be arriving in shopping centres all around Australia. Oh yes, he’s coming to town alright and I really need to sort out my kidlets wishlist so that they can whisper in his ear and help him with his annual gift giving. You see, I’m certain that Santa uses the online marketplace to source his presents, (How else can you explain his ability to be so prepared?) and I need to give him a head-start so nobody misses out.

Just Toy’n Around – www.justtoynaround.com.au - will be one of Santa’s first stops I’m sure. With an array of almost every quality toy brand you could think of for kids from infancy right up to 10 years, this super sweet shop is just the place for hand picking special treats and gifts. They have an assortment of toys from craft to pretend play; outside activities and educational – over 650 in fact! You’ll also find a selection of clothing, shoes and party goods.

Until recently, my little Miss N (just 2) showed virtually no interest in toys for any longer than 2 minutes. She is an outside darling by nature, preferring to twirl in the garden or chase butterflies. Enter Plan Toys Fruits & Vegetables with Tray set. This little set literally turned on the switch when it comes to pretend play for my princess, and started a revolution in our house. It seems everyday the kidlets are preparing a “pretend” tea party or a “pretend” shopping trip. Trikes and bikes are also on the list this year and I just know Santa has his eye on the Radio Flyer Classic Red Tricycle and Discoveroo Wooden Balance Bikes for two *very* good children.

Just Toy’n Around, Quality Toys and Unique Gifts, are here to help Santas and his elves with deliveries this Christmas and are offering FREE standard postage Australia-wide on all orders over $50.00 (before postage charges). Fill up your sack and enter KSF50 at checkout to redeem this offer until midnight 20 November 2010. Looking for a bargain to boot? Head to  the Bargain Corner to find up to 60% off. You’ll also earn Rewards Points for every dollar you spend at Just Toy’n Around, and there are more goodies for you if you sign up for the Just Toy’n Around newsletter, so sign up and shop hard!!
