For every season of life, I like to have in my mind’s eye the woman I would like to become. I am drawn to women futher down the journey than I am, to find inspiration on how I am to do this thing called life! If there ever was a woman worth aspiring to be like it in my grandmothering years, it would be the divine Denise from Chic Kids – www.chickids.com.au. Not only is she down to earth, warm, kind and extremely generous; having parented triplets and now in the midst of enjoying their children, she has retained her chic sense of style. I’d that to be said of me when I become a grand-mama!

Need proof of these style credentials? To see what I mean, you need only check out all she has selected to grace the pages of her gorgeous boutique.  At Chic Kids you’ll find only the best baby and kids fashion, accessories, toys and products – all carefully selected by Denise herself and given her special tick of chic style approval!

This week is a great opportunity to be shopping at Chic Kids where sale stock is already marked down by up to 25%.

Enter code ‘CHICKIDSKSF‘ at checkout to redeem until midnight 18 July 2010 and watch for your goodies to arrive pronto – gift wrapped free of charge!

Special mentions today go to all the great fashion in store from brands like Bebe, Freshbaked, Marquise and Baobab. There is also a lovely selection of new pieces in store from sweet girly brand Dolly Up too. Whatever age you are out to shop for, from tiny newborn baby, through to age 5 -  you’ll come away with a item or two (or outfit or two – hey it’s sale time, why not?!) and too easy – your little one is destined for chic-ness!

Just this week, Master R’s inquisitive little mind decided to put some heavy thought into how an echidna differs from other mammals here in Australia. He was quite astounded to discover that these little monotremes lay eggs. Of course this all eventuated just after Easter too, so now he is convinced that the echidna is actually the Easter Bunny, but with spines.

After perusing the current winter drop at Ekidna Kids – I’m almost convinced that Master R’s random connection could be true. From the egg to toddler hood Ekidna Kids – www.ekidnakids.com.au – offers gorgeous fashion pieces at your very fingertips, with Joanne sourcing high quality pieces just for you.

With BPA free products the essential must have for baby bottles, look no further than the stunning WeeGo Glass Baby Bottles in pink, raspberry, orange, yellow, sky and ocean. Made from toughened glass and suitable for microwaving, boiling, steaming and even using in the dishwasher, none of which will result in deterioration.

Bebe by Minihaha never fails to produce an exquisite collection of pure cotton, ultra soft stylish clothes for little ones each season. For baby girls, I am absolutely besotted with the Bebe Leila Matinee and Romper Set. The velour matinee jacket – oh my!  Baby boys don’t miss out either, with an assortment of items including the Bebe Dexter V-Neck Romper which will keep him warm this winter. Little boys and girls have a collection of downright cute outfits to choose from too – Bebe Jnr Molly Raglan Dress, Bebe Josie Bubble Hem Pant and the Bebe Jnr Jake Denim Jeans are on my wish-list so far.

Marquise pieces  are a wardrobe staple. The tights, leggings, stud suits and matinees are the foundation of a warm winter wardrobe. Coupled with some of the stand out pieces, such as the Marquise Paris Long Sleeve Dress, your entire wardrobe is quickly converted to effortless chic that will receive compliments galore.

If you are looking for some winter sleepwear, don’t go past the selection from Books to Wear. Flannelettes, All in Ones and Two Piece Sets are all available in an array of designs perfect for your little munchkin. ‘Good Night Star’ Pyjamas which says goodnight in a number of languages right on the front or the groovy  ‘My Robot’ Pyjamas which shows all the parts of the body, are just two examples of the fun range available this winter.

In magical style, Ekidna Kids are offering all KSF readers 20% discount store-wide (excluding personalised items and gift certificates) – including 200+ items of clearance stock at up to 75% off. To redeem this fabulous offer simply enter code ‘KSF‘ in the discount code section at checkout until 30 April 2010. All Ekidna Kids shoppers also accumulate loyalty points with every order.
