I’ll freely confess to being a ‘dog person’.  I had fur babies long before I had the human variety, and I still think there’s nothing like a dog for giving unstinting and constant affection while being as un-demanding as you could expect a living creature to be.

Luckily for me, my two-year-old son agrees – he loves dogs and anything with a picture of a dog on it.  Ange gave him a large Brio Dachshund for his birthday which he adores, and so I’ve gone on the hunt for other cool kids products with a canine theme. Turns out there’s loads out there, and it’s all so cute! Dachshunds in particular are a hot design theme right now, which I intend to make the most of.

Below are a range of my favourite doggy products for discerning tots, both from Australian sites and some of the best of overseas. Enjoy!

1. BRIO Dachshund Pull-Along Dog – Small, $29.95 and Large $159.95 from Entropy
2. Urban Elk Dog Print Sweater Dress, $89.95 from I Want Fabulous
3. Ride-On Dog Moonhopper, NZ$29.00 from Pipsqueaks (NZ) (these are brilliant for toddlers; a friend has one and it’s a permanent favourite with every kid who visits her house)
4. No Added Sugar Blue Sausage Dog Shoes, $43.95 $34.92 from Minifashionista
5. Snoffs Red Dog Blanket, $57.95 from Baby Goes Retro
6. Offi Dachshund Light, £52.00 from Nubie (UK)
7. Ej Sikke Lej Doggy Summersuit – part of the Spring/Summer ‘09/10 Collection and hopefully available in Australia soon.
8. Magis Puppy Chair, $119.00 at UrbanBaby
9. Djeco Brownie & Tractor Puzzle, $25.00 $22.00 from The Toy Bug
10. Ride-On Dogs – Golden Retriever and Dalmation, £55.00ea £38.00ea from Red Direct (UK)
11. Fred Flare Hot Dog Tote Bag, USD$26.00 (I thought this bag was too cute to leave out, but tragically Fred Flare doesn’t ship to Australia. You can still get it if you subscribe to a mail forwarding service in the US)

As always, please check individual sites for postage details, and have a look at the KidStyleFile All Current Deals page to make sure you’re getting the best deal on your purchase.

Today, Miki leads us on a stylish jaunt through Europe, with a look at some of the fabulous Euro designer labels available at Aussie online stores. Tres chic, mon amies!

Enjoy the weekend

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

There are two European designers over at Buckets & Spades – www.bucketsandspades.com.au that I want to rave to you about that are almost too lush for words!

The first is Petite Bateau; absolutely adorable and tres French bien sur.

Petit Bateau was started in 1918 by a hosiery manufacturer who cut the feet of a pair of tights and decided that it was now underwear for kids! The brand has come a long way since then, now being the province of celebs and yummy mummies alike seeking classily understated quality for their gorgeous bubs.

The second is Diesel Kids, from Italy, the pinnacle of Euro street-cool. Check out Buckets & Spades’ collection of Diesel Kids shoes as well as their kids’ gear – it’s simply delectable!  I love their funky print tees; they’re fresh and fun and absolutely unique.

Don’t forget that you can get a 10% discount off full-priced items at Buckets & Spades using the Shop 4 Kids discount code*!

No links here as Buckets & Spades is a frames-based site – but use their search engine to track down these items!
Prices below include the 10% Shop4Kids discount.
Petite Bateau Stripe Romper – Pink, $49.95  $44.95
Diesel Tagiacu tee, $59.00  $53.10
Diesel Talbio tee, $69.00  $62.10

Charlipop Kids – www.charlipopkids.com.au – stock a bevy of fab European designers, including Oilily, Room Seven and Absorba.

Oilily, from Holland, is notable for its kaleidoscope of quirky and colourful designs, and has a huge following worldwide because of its uniqueness. Oilily can’t be mistaken for anything else and your kids are guaranteed to stand out from the crowd wearing their clothes.

Room Seven is also Dutch, started when Brechtje Olsthoorn, who had previously made children’s bedding from fabrics sourced in India, started to make children’s clothing from the same fabrics when her daughter was born.  The result is stunning!

Lastly Absorba:  established in France in 1949, Absorba is renown for its attention to detail with delicate embroideries and top quality fabrics.  Your kids will go from cradle to kindergarten in style with this gear!

Charlipop Kids are offering KidStyleFile readers 10% off at their Designer store until 30 September – enter ‘KSF’ at checkout to redeem.

Prices shown include the 10% KSF discount.
Room Seven Jersey Tee – blue/red/white striped, $36.80  $33.12
Absorba Green Two-Toned Stretchy Teddy Print Top, $38.40  $34.56
Oilily Shame Striped Buttoned Dress With Ruffles, $60.00  $54.00

One of my favourite European designers is carried by Frock You – www.frockyou.com.au. I am talking, of course, about ej sikke sej (pronounced ay sik-kay lay in case you were wondering) from Denmark.

I just love the clean-cut styles of ej sikke lej; I love their adorable iconic owl print, I love their rompers, I love their patterns, I love their hard-wearing 100% cotton fabrics – and yes, there are several of their pieces in my son’s wardrobe including the elk tee pictured below, and yes, of course I got them from Frock You!

I don’t think ej sikke lej can be beaten for wardrobe basics with a Scandanavian flair!

Prices shown include the 15% Members-Only discount which comes with subscription to Frock You’s newsletter.
ej sikke lej Big Owl Print Petrol Onesie, $30.00  $25.50
ej sikke lej Strawberry Skirt, $59.00  $50.15
ej sikke lej Elk S/S Tee, $25.00  $21.25

Since we’ve now seen enough European clothing designers to get you inspired, let’s take a look at European room decor and toys.

The obvious place to go is The Infant Boutique – www.theinfantboutique.com.au – as they stock stunning wall art from INKE, aka Inke Heiland, Dutch designer.  Her wallpaper wildlife designs are very hip right now, and each design is only produced in very limited quantities so you can be sure that not every second kid will have the same room decor as your precious pumpkin does.

The Infant Boutique also stock Sirch wooden toys from Bavaria, Germany. Made by a family company (established 1805), each Sirch toy is approved by European safety authorities and is absolutely stunning to look at.  The Sibis Max (pictured below) for example, features soundless heavy-duty rubber wheels which won’t destroy your floors and is made of steam-curved ashwood. Just beautiful!

Use the Shop 4 Kids code* to receive a FREE gift with all orders from The Infant Boutique!

INKE Wildlife Wallpaper Birds – Blue, $55.00
INKE Wildlife Wallpaper Lion, $161.90
Sirch Sibis Max, $269.00

*The Shop 4 Kids discount code can be found in the latest Shop 4 Kids magazine.  If you can’t get hold of a copy, email Angela and she’ll whisper the code to you.

For a burst of Northern hemisphere style, head on over to the Baby Goes Retro - www.babygoesretro.com.au – big winter sale.

Established by two Swedish-expatriate Mums, Baby Goes Retro is the real McCoy, stocking a fine range of Scandinavian baby and kid labels from 0-4 years, including Nanoou, Katvig, ej sikke leg (pronounced ‘ay sic-kay lay’), Danefae, Plastisock, Snoffs and Elodie Details.

The colour palettes are strong and inspiring, and the clean print Scandinavian folk-style designs are effortlessly cool, while staying true to the innocence and imagination of childhood.

One of the occupational hazards of KidStyleFile is that I find myself in temptation’s way all too often: so much cool stuff at such great discounts – how could I not buy at least some of it?

My poor old credit card has taken a hammering over the last few months, but you know what? I don’t regret a single one of my purchases so far.

Because I think that’s a pretty solid endorsement of what I’ve bought, I thought I’d showcase some of my favourites today. (I’ve taken my own photos for this, so I apologise for the slightly dodgy photos; hopefully you’ll get the idea at least )

Threads
I love little boys’ clothes. My son Alex (aged nearly one) has a fairly extensive wardrobe, but we do have a few favourites.

I know I rave on about these at every chance I get, but the American Apparel baby rib karate pants are revered in this household. Comfy, stretchy and still really cool looking, he wears them… well, most days actually, now that I think about it!

I always get ours from Frock You – www.frockyou.com.au – because Kat stocks such a great range of sizes and colours and has such kick-ass sales. There’s also the My Child magazine discount code*(see bottom of page) which gives you 20% off storewide!

I’ve bought a few tops from Frock You too – currently Alex is wearing Smirk tees (I love the Smirk designs, it’s my absolute favourite kids tee brand) and Ej Sikke Lej too.

The other favourite top du jour is his Oobi ‘Bella the Martian’ hoodie, which I bought from Fairy Kisses – www.fairykisses.com.au.

Fairy Kisses have a brilliant price on this one at the moment, check it out! The other great thing about this hoodie is that Angela gave Alex the matching Oobi Timorous Beastie: too cute!

Kindy Kamper

The Kindy Kamper – from www.kindykamper.com.au – was another present from Angela (yes, she spoils us rotten). Even though it’s marketed at pre-schoolers it’s actually really great for babies too because it fits into portacots so nicely!

We do a lot of travelling to see our respective families and having the Kindy Kamper has made bedding for Alex a breeze. I just grab the KK and the portacot and that’s it – nothing else needed! The little loops on the bottom of the KK padded base fit over the portacot matress perfectly (they’re adjustable for different sizes of matress too) and the padding in the KK base makes the portacot matress softer too. I can tuck Alex in just like normal, so he’s happy and comfy.

Once we’re home again it’s just as easy. The KK gets flung in the washing machine, then it dries just as well either on the line or in the dryer, and then it’s ready to go all over again.

It’s also Alex’s cot bedding at daycare – no more lost sheets or having to sew name tags on to about eight different items, as the KK covers it all. Couldn’t be easier.

Here’s a photo of the KK set up in my portacot (which is a Phil & Teds T2), and with Alex in it. Please excuse the rather, erm, ‘vibrant’ playroom floor in the background!

Bags

My ISOKI petite traveller (from Ekidna Kids – www.ekidnakids.com.au) goes everywhere with me these days, whether I have Alex with me or not. It’s small enough to be easy for me to take around (not much bigger than a clutch really) but big enough to fit everything a mum could need when she’s out running errands.

I’ve just emptied mine out on the desk, and this is what I fit in it:

Two disposable nappies, a travel pack of nappy wipes, a few nappy sacks, a twin-pack of teething rusks, a little box of sultanas, a muesli bar, a bib, my mobile phone, some cash (sadly not very much), a notebook and pen, my keys and all the cards I use on a daily basis – credit card, EFTPOS card, library card etc. And I still have plenty of room for a bottle and my sunglasses etc.

It’s amazing how much fits into such a little bag!

Another favourite in my nappy bag collection is my Vanchi Carry All Nappy Bag in choc tudor.

The best price I’ve seen on these is at La Toriana when you use the My Child magazine discount code*(see bottom of page) to take 15% off AND get a free gift.

It’s had a hard life, my Vanchi, but I have to say that it’s so well made that it’s taken all the abuse I’ve thrown at it and not batted an eyelash. Once I brushed the smooshed biscuit off it I realised that it actually still looks like new! I love this nappy bag precisely because it doesn’t look like a nappy bag – perfect!

The other bag that really deserves a mention is the Fleurville kids messenger bag, which hails from from Itty Bitty Yuppy – www.ittybittyyuppy.com.au.

Things I love about this bag (besides its obviously gorgeous looks) are its size; small enough that a pre-schooler can carry it, but big enough that I don’t look silly carrying it either, and the unique PVC-free fabric it’s made from. It feels great (really soft but tough) and it’s such good quality.

It also came with an insulated lunch bag which is very handy for being out and about. This is the bag that goes to daycare with Alex as it fits everything he needs for the day: lunch, nappies, change of clothes, bottle etc. etc.

Please visit individual website for product prices and postage information.

What’s New and Hot at The Frock?

Cool tees, a whole boatload of them! Dress them up, or down, tees are an all-season easy to wear winner.

Layer them and accessorise them with armwarmers (the Moppit arm/legwarmers come in a range of sizes and are extremely groovy, and for you BabyLegs fans, the current 35% off discount brings them down to a cheap-as-chips $10.72!!), and scarfs for winter warmth.

I love the new and exclusive cute Amy Tangerine tees imported directly from the USA by Frock You, and if you want instant street cred, head straight for the new Gabrial Saynte Tees.

The Gabrial Saynte Free badge and “Baby’s First Mixed Tape”CD offer is still running too, which makes it the perfect time to snap up a bragain, and also get yourself a little Gift With Purchase action The CD contains tunes from the cream of the cool old-skool crowd (David Bowie, Michael Jackson, U2!!) to help kick start your child’s musical education. How cool is that? Personally, I think the BLs worn as arm warmers with the Tees is a stellar look :} Jump straight to the Gabrial Saynte product page.

New Moppit (love their blues: does good things to my brain) and Smelly Welly (their tie-tee with sewn one button detailing is soemthing quite special for the little boys in the crowd) have also just hit the decks at Frock You. And I keep on hearing about the virtues of the American Apparel Baby Rib Karate Pants: available in black, pink, red, navy and lavendar, they are the perfect solution for the lower half in combination with any of these tees.

To All the Clothes I Loved Before…

Just had to revisit some of my faves at Frock You. The clothes are still as superlative as before, but the bottom has dropped out of the prices, so if you’ve been lurking, waiting for this moment, don’t be pipped at the post: jump now!

If you are looking for something a little different, head for Ej Sikke Lej; simply the most delightful Scandinavian label. Their fairy-land prints of toadstools and birds are just the thing to get your child’s imagination going, and the Strawberry Skirt’s cred is confirmed in the current edition of uber-cool LMNOP magazine.

On the local front, Moppit is a great Aussie label that gets the balance right every time. I love their ‘Apple’ onesie; it just radiates the essence of a happy baby. The Nigella Hoodie for boys or girls is effortlessly cool, and the Trina Owl Dress is perfect winter style for girls.

Clockwise from top left:

Moppit ‘Apple of Mummy & Daddy’s Eye’ long-sleeved Onesie $29.95 $19.46 after 35% discount
Ej Sikke Lej Bird long-sleeved Tee $28.00 $18.20 after 35% discount

If you’re still reading then there are a few items of interest that I’d like to alert you to:

New Moppit and Ej Sikke Lej stick is now in store.

Ej is simply the most delightful Scandinavian label. Their fairy-land prints of toadstools and birds are just the thing to get your child’s imagination going, and the Strawberry Skirt’s superlative credentials are confirmed in the current edition of LMNOP online magazine.

Moppit is a great Aussie label that gets the balance right every time. I love their ‘Apple’ onesie; it just radiates the essence of a happy baby. The Nigella Hoodie for boys or girls is effortlessly cool, and the Trina Owl Dress is perfect winter style for girls.

Clockwise from top left:

Free badge and “Baby’s First Mixed Tape”CD when you buy a Gabrial Saynte Tee
Apparently the CD contains tunes from the cream of the cool old-skool crowd (David Bowie, Michael Jackson, U2!!) to help kick start your child’s musical education. How cool is that? Personally, I think the BLs worn as arm warmers with the Tees is a stellar look :} Jump straight to the Gabrial Saynte product page.
