If you’re a parent, I would hazard a guess that you would respond with a resounding yes if you were asked if you’d describe your little person as as ‘active’.  From their cosy upside down place in the womb, babies begin this athletic life, squirming, hiccuping and kicking, until their presence is well and truly felt. Upon entering the world they wriggle and giggle and crawl.  They toddle, then walk and then run and jump. Once they are running and jumping – and onlookers are remarking ‘what a bundle of energy’ – there really is no stopping them!

A  house of design that understand these facts and specifically designs clothes for kids on the move is Agoo – www.agoo.com.au. Made from stain resistant and fast drying fibres, Agoo pieces are highly breathable and and wick-away moisture so your active little person can play all day without overheating.

For baby girls my top pick are the Ruffled Princess Pants which you will find in a lovely range of colours. In sizes 2-8 and showcased in the 50% off sale picture below are the Girls Ebony Tops perfect for your hip styled and hip hop dancing girl!

For active little baby boys I love the Twozie Hoodies which have a built in bodysuit…in a hoodie -  what a smart idea! Looking for a seriously comfortable pair of pants for your little man? Then you simply must check out the Boys Trinity Pants.

There’s no time better than now to snap up these clever clothes: Agoo is currently hosting a spectacular sale with up to 50% off all their clothing and jackets, while stocks last until 23 August 2010, and a great offer on Agoo’s funky socks and leg warmers: buy 2 pairs of any designs and get the 3rd pair FREE!

To me, style is more than just a label. Style is all about flair, attitude, confidence and the combination of choice pieces. You really can’t rely on one piece of the equation and expect to ooze style. No, no, no….you need to work it baby!

Stylish Bubs – www.stylishbubs.com.au is an online store that oozes confidence. Katie, the store’s proprietor, knows just what she wants and has searched high and low to pull together a catalogue of items that replicate flair and style within their stitching to ensure you have all sides of the equation covered – you just need to provide the attitude (I’m sure your little one can handle that!).

You could stick to your favourite label, or combine a few pieces to provide a unique look just right for your wee one. Sooki Baby was a favourite of mine when both Master R and Miss N were infants.  Every season, the range provides a wealth of fashionable patterns and colours in oh so comfy fabrics. The It’s Raining on Me Ruffle Legging in red is certainly a delight, with the cutest bottom ruffles which will draw a few “ooooooh sooooo cute!” comments when you’re out and about. Or you could grab the Tuxedo Tee for your little man who wants to  be Licensed for Style (both are under $15.00 this week too!).

Whatever your style, Katie at Stylish Bubs is making it super easy for you this winter with a superb end of financial year sale to get you stylin’ up with ease.

I don’t know about you, but one thing I have always has to search and search for is plain basics for my kids.

The merits of a plain white, or single colour tee, are many – besides the fact that these items work back perfectly with all fashion pieces and provide the perfect layering solution, little kids look just great in them (I especially love single colours of babies: too much going on can overwhelm their tiny forms and natural beauty).

Catering for babies from birth to kids up to size 5, Agoo – www.agoo.com.au – a new label to Australia, but a well-established institution in the US – has a super range of single colour basics that will harmonise perfectly with your fashion choices. Mix and match to your heart’s content, these quality inter-season pieces will go on and on in your child’s wardrobe.

Agoo pieces are highly breathable and have wick-away fibre woven in so your child won’t overheat, and you’re going to love the wash and wear joy of Agoo as well: it’s stain resistant and fast drying!

Another thing you’ll love is the prices! KSF readers can take 25% off store-wide at Agoo until 30 November 2009, while stocks last, with code ‘KSF25′. This brings short-sleeved Tees down to a tiny $22.50: a saving up 40%!!

With the change of seasons, it’s difficult to know what to dress the kids in when we’re out and about.  It’s lovely to have them in t-shirts and shorts, but what if the weather turns suddenly?  I don’t want them to get too cold or too hot, but I don’t want to have to lug bulky jumpers and trousers around with me either.

The perfect solution: Leg Huggers from Agoo – www.agoo.com.au.

Made from the most deliciously soft fabric LegHuggers are the perfect trans-seasonal accessory.  Obviously they look gorgeous – see the image below if you had any doubts over that! – but they also have so many uses that I don’t know how any family with babies up to pre-schoolers ever coped without them.

Here are just a few of the things you can use them for:

• Dressing the baby in a onesie and LegHuggers means you don’t have to remove trousers and socks for nappy changes,
• LegHuggers mean you can show off your adorable modern cloth nappies while still keeping baby’s legs warm,
• They’re perfect for toilet training toddlers – no need to wrestle with trouser fastenings,
• Protect crawling babies’ little knees from hard wooden floors or carpet burn,
• Keep a pair or two in your nappy bag (they hardly take up any room!) and put them on your toddler or pre-schooler’s legs and arms when the weather turns a bit chilly,
• In cold weather when you’re out in the pram, throw an extra pair on underneath your toddler’s trousers to give little legs some extra warmth,
• Play dress ups with all the different patterns – mix and match, baby!

Plus besides all of those great uses, with Christmas coming up – hey, it’s nearly October, I’m allowed to use the ‘ word’!’ – they make the perfect stocking stuffers too.

Susan and Alison at Agoo are having a big sale on LegHuggers at the moment, so it’s an excellent time to stock up on all the pretty, girly designs available. Normally $17.00, all LegHuggers are currently marked down to only $10.00 a pair! There’s no code needed, prices are as marked. Don’t dally though, they’re only around until the 2nd of October, 2009, or while stocks last, and at this price that’s not going to be long!

Click here for the full range of LegHuggers at Agoo, now $17.00 $10.00 a pair until 2nd October or while stocks last!

Agoo ship Australia-wide for a flat rate of $7.50. Orders over $50 receive FREE shipping!

I am so longing for the warmer weather now. I *need* it now. It’s all I can do to get back in my box and wait, patiently, for the day when I will be able to shed winters wooly layers and run barefoot on the sun-warmed grass. My kids too are hankering for the summer sun, repeatedly asking when it will be spring, and reflecting on last summer’s beach adventures, and days lived almost completely outdoors.

With the sun though comes UV warnings and the threat of sunburn and skin cancer.

This year there’s a new option in sun protection for babies from birth to kids up to size 5 in the form of Agoo Active-wear – www.agoo.com.au – that has a SPF30-50+ UV protection rating.

Agoo believes that we need to change our thinking in relation to sun protection for kids: we clothe our children in sun-protection garments for the beach; what makes the park next to the beach any safer from the suns powerful and potentially damaging rays? It’s a good point!

Agoo Active-wear is the ultimate playwear for kids, allowing them to frolic outside all day in the summer sun while parents rest easy knowing that the clothing is providing them protection from harmful UV rays.

Agoo Active-wear also has other properties which make it the pinnacle of kids playwear, the most impressive one being that it is stain-resistant, minimising the potential damage that outdoor play brings (mud pies, paint, grass stains and the like).

Agoo clothing’s 4-way stretch fabric also wicks away moisture and is antibacterial, keeping your kid fresh and cool as opposed to damp and clammy, and preventing fabric breakdown due to bacteria. Agoo clothing is cut generously in the arm, leg and the body to ensure you get maximum value for money, and all pieces are tag free for kid comfort. They look great too!

Sign up to the Agoo newsletter (on the left-hand side of the Agoo homepage) to receive a 10% discount off your Agoo purchase – the code you need will be advised in the newsletter. Orders over $50.00 (not including postage) are shipped free. All orders placed until 30 September 2009 will receive a FREE Little Innoscents organic skincare sample. You’ll also receive a FREE Agoo wooden coat hanger for each purchase of a onezie, twozie, shirt, jacket or dress until 30 September 2009.

Agoo Active-wear ranges in price from $18-$68. Visit the Agoo website for full pricing information.
