Today’s post written by Miki.

It’s a chilly old spring this year, isn’t it?  I’ve just had a look at a weather forecast chart for Australia, and there’s not one capital city without a little cloud or rain picture hanging over them for today.

That’d be fine - heck, we can use the rain! - but if your kids have grown out of last winter’s raincoats and boots, like mine has, you’ll be a bit stuck because they’re hard to find at this time of year.

Luckily for us Kinder Kaboodle - www.kinderkaboodle.com.au - comes to the rescue.  Not only do they stock ravishing rainwear (Smelly Welly, Western Chief and Penny Scallan among others) but it’s discounted at 20% off!

It’s rare to find top brands like this at less than full price so snap ‘em up while they’re hot!  Be smart and buy for next winter as well while you’re at it.

Kinder Kaboodle always stock the latest and best in gear for kinder, pre-school, childcare and school. There’s currently a heap of new goodies to feast your eyes upon, for example the totally adorable new hair clips and accessories from Giddy Giddy - huge range and really affordable.

The new Charlie & Lola range from the popular ABC TV series and the books by Lauren Child will also be a winner - put some of it away for Christmas and you know there’ll be huge smiles on the day.

I think my absolute favourite at Kinder Kaboodle right now is the brand new Bazoongi Kids Mushroom Play House - check it out!  How fantastic is that?!  Boys and girls (and parents) alike will love this one, it’s a great size for mini tea parties and whispering secrets and giggles while being small enough to pack away compactly when it’s not in use.

If you want a 15% discount storewide - including sale items!! - then grab a copy of Shop4Kids magazine for the magic code inside.  If you can’t get hold of the mag, then watch out for the code, included in tomorrow’s KidStyleFile newsletter (if you haven’t already subscriber, do so here).

Kinder Kaboodle are also noteworthy for their stylish FREE giftwrapping!

First up, some body love for new mums and little babes from Wedela. Baby’s Got Style is carrying the renowned Calendula Baby range, as well as Baby Colic and Teething powder,  rash relief cream, breastfeeding tea, Blackhorn elixir (useful for fatigue), nipple care cream and Almond face products.

A German company founded in 1921 dedicated to supporting the inherent healing properties of the human body, their motto is “In harmony with nature and the human being”. Wedela’s focus is firmly on the gentlest most nurturing care of your skin, without compromising nature - sustainability is paramount - and supporting the primary producers they trade with - Weleda contracts until Fair Trade practices. Wedela products are comprised of bio-dynamic ingredients, are free from chemicals, and are never tested on animals. You and your baby or child deserve no less, and with prices between $12-$26, you can well afford it!

To celebrate the arrival of Weleda at Baby’s Got Style, Daniela and the team at BGS are giving every customer who places an order in October a FREE Calendula Nappy Change cream sample.

Also, would you like to go into the into the draw to WIN an amazing Weleda gift pack valued at over $300? To enter all you have to do is purchase any item from the Weleda range during October (if you purchase two items you get two entries, and so on)!

Onto the fashion at Baby’s Got Style now. And boy, there’s a lot to talk about there!! Over 100 new kids summer styles, and over 200 babies summer styles have arrived in store in the last 2 weeks. Woah, baby! It’s going to be a hot summer!

I’m hugely loving Polka, a new range for girls. I’ve paired their Yoga Bum pants (back view shown: how cool are they?!) with a summery light Fresh Baked top, for a visual splendor of cool comfort, and their ‘Birdy’ dress is to die for. This is Polka’s first collection, and they had a limited run to test the water, which means once it’s sold out, that’s it, so get in quick!

I’m inspired by boys summer pieces too: I’m totally digging the Freshbaked Disco Beats Tee, with Ouch black cargoes and Rock Your Baby Peace Cap.

Onto face fashion now: new at Baby’s Got Style are the the range of kid’s sunnies from Frankie Ray; 100% UV protection with shatter proof lens, super cool, and suitable for the 4-14 set, you’ll be wishing you had a pair!

In the decor section are the most delightful large counting cards from Eeeboo. Simply beautiful!

If you’re looking for a gorgeous gift for a newborn you cannot go past Dwell Studio’s mind blocks. Tactile, visually stimulating and clever these are relevant from birth up until 2+ years.

Finally, as we’re heading into the out-and-about season, you’ll want to be prepared. Pick up a Dinky Diner, and you’ll be able to safely contain your little charge wherever you go - no more contending with icky highchairs in restaurants, or missing out on one altogether. The Dinky Diner folds up and fits right in your handbag. Neat!

In the picks below I’ve specified the sizes each product is in available in. If you’re browsing in general, I recommend that you use Baby’s Got Style like this:  select the ‘Babies’ tab for sizes 00000-2, The ‘Kids’ tab for sizes 3-8 , and the ‘Mum’s tab for Mums and Mums-to-be.

Also, don’t forget to check out the Sale items in each category. There are over 300 items on sale up to 50% off. Go to it!
