KidStyleFile is proud to be the official sponsor of Kids Instyle, part of the hotly anticipated 2011 Life Instyle trade event in Melbourne – now only 1 week away!  Besides being delighted to bring this fantastic ‘trade only’ event to you, we get the perk of previewing who is going to be there.  Because we love to share, we’re letting you in on some sneaky previews. For Anna’s sneak peak from last week see here or for Miki’s sneak peak from the week before see here.

Today’s sneak peek is a lovely selection of some of my favorite picks which I also cannot wait to find on the shelves of some of my favorite online stores

ONE:  Smellies Clothing Some of my favourite memories of the late 80s were scratch and sniff stickers. I was so excited to come across Smellies Clothing who have incorporated this cool idea into their clothing (and even hyper colour).

TWO: Rhubarb I love the primary based colour palette of the range. Durable, hardwearing and stylish.

THREE: Ola and Olek My mum has flaming red hair, so this label feels like home and has a certain cheekiness to each design. Fresh, unique and now based in Australia. MUST SEE their upcoming range.

FOUR: Little Chillies When an upcoming event is on the cards I look to Little Chillies for exquisite detailing, high quality fabrics and vintage styling. Bonus: it’s all Australian made.

FIVE: Rock Your Baby One of the most affordable, stylish and rocking ranges on the market. Any item from the range will give your little one instant street cred.

SIX.  Knuffle Kid  Melbourne based and made, this label is certain to pull out all the punches when exhibiting in their home town. Quirky, yet refined….keep your eye out for glimpses of their winter 2012 collection to be revealed.

SEVEN: Bluebelle Super soft underwear with layers and layers of ruffles. Luxury for your kidlets from the bottom up!

EIGHT: Princess Ratbag One of the most popular of all pettiskirt labels. Whimsical and chic but with just the right pinch of ‘ratbag’; I cannot wait to reveal what they have in store for us.

NINE: OLD SOLES  After footwear that fits growing feet and looks ultra chic? Turn to Old Soles, an Australian label who knows just what you need. What steps have they made since we last covered them at KIS?

TEN: Britt Design Another Australian label that has kept much of its production right here rather than offshore. They have branched out from cute and snuggly wooly garments for kids to include jewellery and accessories and I can’t wait to see their latest offerings (I used to peruse their wares when they were a market store here in Bondi!).

Today’s post written by Leah

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

Children love a sideshow carnival. In fact a visit to one is a favourite past time in my household, with Luna Park only a short distance away.  Entering such a place sees the kids instantly rushing with adrenaline. They are unsure where to run first, or whether to ride any of them twice in case they miss out on trying something new.  There is a mad dash to familiar favourites, and some rides are savoured.

…round and round we go, laughing laughing……

A trip to Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au provides the same adrenaline rush for me as a trip to the carnival does for my two kidlets. I enter their well known (Australia’s largest online boutique for children’s fashion and repeat Hitwise Top 10 website winner, in fact) site and pause briefly to take in their latest additions.  I need that pause to calm myself. The excitement is almost too much. It’s then go, go, go!!

Today is no exception. In fact, I may in fact be late for work if I continue to dally. But it’s almost impossible to leave for today there is so much on offer! Daniela and the crew have been madly sourcing new items and I am not disappointed. Monster Republic have arrived with some awesome tees; Bluebelle as well with the MOST adorable underwear I have ever seen; the divine Brusselsprouts is here as well as Ruby Luxe (I want the Ruby Luxe Bead ribbon necklace-rosette); ERGObaby which is the ultimate in all baby carriers offering front, hip and back carry without the backache; as well as Pearhead, Pip and Moppy, Grobag, Indy and the Ninja, John Crane and a great new range of books (watch out, I can see Ange rushing in to snap up the Star Wars scanimation book).
