My favourite childhood memories revisit me every summertime. Hot sand, windows down, cool dips, icy poles and spending all day in my swimsuit. Conversations with friends confirm these as the universal memories of Australian childhood, which our own children are now experiencing anew.

Hanging out and the beach or pool or just running under the sprinkler on the lawn, sunny days are here and there is fun to be had. Our mood board for summer embodies this: think shorts, swimmers, and light floral frocks – perfect attire all summer long.

Ok, I admit it…I am a just a wee bit baby crazy! I just love tiny babies and squeal with delight when I hear news of a new arrival in the world.  So today, feel free to squeal with me, because Heather and Raj from Babies and Kids – www.babiesandkids.com.au are proud to announce a new arrival of their own — their new bricks and mortar store in Yarraville, Victoria! Yay!

Since they are moving their gorgeous range from a warehouse to the new store, Heather and Raj are having a big clear out to make room fitting out and showing off all their delights.  So while they do all the hard work – we can have all the fun!

Babies and Kids currently have 10-20% off top brands Bacche, Bright Bots, Max and Tilly, Minihaha, Bebe, Pink Chicken, Uttam Kids, Gaia Organic Cotton dresses, Baobab, Eternal creation, Books To Wear, ohme ohmi, Toetum, Minymo, Tiny Minymo and Yunginz shoes. PLUS on top of this, KSF readers are being offered a further 10% off store wide.  So that’s up to 30% off some current season stock!  This offer continues through until 1 January 2010. Enter discount code ’santasale’ to receive your extra 10% discount.

If you are looking for a great buy, you might want to check out the new petite pettiskirts from leading brand Opsy Daisy Baby. They are perfect for wearing everyday — even to creche, kinder or school. The petite pettiskirt is lined, and although it has half the amount of fabric of the original pettiskirt, it retains all the softness, swishiness and beauty of the original pettiskirt.  Plus it’s a little more affordable too.

They also stock the very fantastic Peekaboo Bags. I fell in love with these on a family holiday earlier this year.  I couldn’t believe how captivated my little nephew was with this delightful toy – he was busy the whole flight!  The only drama that unfolded was with his older cousins who were whiny because they wanted a turn! If you have some long trips to do over the holiday season, or you need something to entertain a little on in a restaurant  these come highly recommended from me.

Prior to the proper fit-out taking place in January, Raj and Heather are aiming to set up temporary camp at the store (which will be located at 81 Gamon Steet Yarraville, Melbourne) for pre-Christmas sales by Monday December 14.  Contact Babies and Kids by phone on 1300 853 096, or shoot them a quick email to confirm that they are operational before you rock up.

Prices quoted in red below are only applicable with special KSF code (see above) until 1 January 2010.

1. Oopsy Daisy Baby Red Dot Petite Pettiskirt ( 2,4 and 6 years) $54.95 less 10% = $49.45

3. Toetum Red Tiered Frill Dress (1-4 years) $49.95 $44.95 less 10% = $40.45

The world’s media have turned their eyes to New York this week to follow the United Nations General Assembly.  We at KidStyleFile took this as a cosmic hint that it was a good time to check out the best of international and New York-based kids fashion, and where better to look than Raspberry Rascals – www.raspberryrascals.com.au!

Local stockist of some of the best international high end children’s fashion brands in the world, Di at Raspberry Rascals keeps her ear to the ground and is a reliable source for the hottest new brands around.

Take Nellystella for example: so new that it’s only available for pre-order at the moment, this Taiwanese brand is going to be BIG news in Australia.  ‘The darling of your daughter’s wardrobe’, Nellystella creator Nelly Chen takes inspiration from her early years in Europe, and mixes in plenty of playful charm to create a truly original collection which features sumptuous fabrics and striking prints.

Put your order in for delivery in February 2010, and be quick about it as stocks are going to be very limited.

Above: Nellystella delights

Turning our eyes to New York, we have two beautiful brands to check out: Pink Chicken New York, and Kit + Lili New York.

Pink Chicken’s beautiful trans-seasonal dresses are ideal for the Australian climate – cool enough to be worn in spring and summer and perfect for layering up in autumn and winter, these dresses are seriously hip!  Angela’s daughters have  been fans for a while now, and with designs like the ones pictured below, it’s really not hard to see why.  I particularly love the Paisley Gemma Dress – what a fantastic print!

Kit + Lili is another on-trend New York label, with a delightfully whimsical approach to modern childhood basics such as sunsuits, rompers, leggings, skirts and – mums of boys will be glad to note – some very funky boys’ tees.  The current Kit + Lili collection is heavenly; floaty fabrics teamed with bright and modern prints for girlswear, and OMG, the rompers for babies!! You’ve got to check them out, totally adorable.

KidStyleFile readers rejoice! You can take 15% off store-wide at Raspberry Rascals until 11 October 2009 using the code ‘KSF15′ – and this applies to winter stock as well, which is already discounted by up to 50%!

If you’d like an even bigger discount than that, then throw your hat into the ring for the ‘Name the Rascals’ competition. If your names for the two little mascots are chosen, you’ll receive a whopping 25% off store-wide for twelve whole months!!!

The prices quoted below in red are applicable with discount code ‘KSF15′. Expires 11 October 2009.

Babies and Kids is run by husband and wife team Heather and Raj Saxena. Raj is no silent partner – he is involved in the buying so there is ‘daddy approval’ rating on all stock. Son Neal also helps out; look out for him on the Babies and Kids homepage.

To welcome you to the Babies and Kids experience, Heather and Raj are giving KidStyleFile readers 10% off storewide, including sale stock, until 31 August 2009. Enter discount code: ‘ksfbabies’ at checkout to redeem. Orders over $50 will also receive free postage until 31 October 2009. Babies and Kids will also gift wrap your order for free! I also highly recommend that you stop by Babies & Kids’ stacked sale section: there are impressive bargains to be found there, and the 10% discount applies to this section too.
