Happy Birthday to….Kat at Frock You - www.frockyou.com.au!! Yes, Kat turned one year older last Friday.

Kat’s still in party mode, so much so, that she’s spreading the love, and warming our winter up with a fab 35% off store-wide until 30 June.

Enter discount code ‘STOCKTAKE’ for 35% off everything.

“Coolies”, as Kat says.

You can say that again, Kat!!

Frock You just gets better and better. Kat is always adding to her repertoire of fine threads for fashion-forward women and babe/s up to 6 years.

Choose from onesies, tees, dresses, pants, skirts, legwarmers, bunny rugs and hats from BabyLegs, Ej Sikke Lej (”ay-sic-kay-lay”), American Apparel, Amy Tangerine (from the US, new and exclusive to Frock You), Elodie & Elvis, Fully Stoked, Itch Design, Little Red, Monster Baby, Moppit, Smelly Welly, Smirk, Tippy Toes, Baobab, Cuski, TomTom, Deadly Girl Couture, with Sooki Baby and Lucca.P coming to Frock You in July.

For Mamas, choose from a super range of clothing and accessories, including jewellery and shoes - ah! Labels stocked include American Apparel, Birds of a Feather, Blue Juice, Dolly Rockers, Fanciulla, GRAB, Little Potty Red Shoes, Living Doll, Mejikuhibiniu, Mermaid Sister, Moe Moe, Nude Footwear, One Teaspoon, Seduce, SUNDAY By Andrea & Joen, Sunny Girl, Tribu, and Vicious Threads.

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.

Clockwise from top left:

Gabrial Saynte ‘Ricky Roma’ Tee $36.00 $23.40 after 35% discount

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
Ej Sikke Lej Toadstool Romper $49.95 $32.46 after 35% discount

Now, while we’re on the topic of Kids Gift List, it would take someone with unnatural willpower to refrain from browsing through the rest of their categories.

Although I could cheerfully march you through every single product over there, I’ll contain myself and just show you my favourite-ist category: wall art.

Ohhh do Kids Gift List know what they’re doing when they choose the wall art to stock!

They’ve recently started offering ‘Look At The Wall’ collages, which are handmade from a big selection of different papers (including handmade) and each collage is a little bit unique. They’re different from anything else I’ve seen around the traps, really very well priced and just so cool!

Besides those, I LOVE the quirky-yet-useful Coco Boheme Monkey blackboard sticker - what a great product! Because it’s a sticker you can move it around the place - kitchen, bedroom, playroom, treehouse - without damaging the paint! I want one!

Also don’t forget that Kids Gift List stock the ever-popular (and rightly so) Little Chipipi wall decals, an instant uplift for any kid’s room decor.

Last but not least: don’t forget that you can use the My Child magazine discount code to take 15% off everything at Kids Gift List, except for the $25 and under clothing category. (Hey, that’s already up to 70% off so you’re not losing out there! )

Today I’d like to introduce to you to new KidStyleFile weekend contributor, Miki. Miki is mum to 9 month old Alex, and brings her stunning written style and a new perspective on boys gear to KSF. Today’s piece is Part 1 of Miki’s great expose of superb boys gear for less. Stay tuned for Part 2, coming next Saturday.
(PS Part 2 is now available here)

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Do you have a boy under the age of two? Do you struggle to find fun, funky and practical clothes him… without bankrupting yourself? Me too. The good news is that since I discovered KSF I’ve been enjoying multitudes of online stores which not only stock a great range of cool gear for baby and toddler boys, but also have fantastic sales and specials.

Here are a few of my favourites:

Quinn Macool

It’s very difficult to go past Quinn Macool www.quinnmacool.com.au when you’re talking about fresh and fun clothes for little boys, and even more so now that they’ve brought in their new winter value packs starting from $50.00 for jumper and pants. There are loads of options and great savings. In fact, the savings are even better this weekend, as Quinn Macool are having a massive pre-winter sale with 30% off winter jumpers, infant pants and singlets!

Check out these great designs:

‘Beam Me Up, Scotty’ Jumper, $24.46 (was $34.95); Bravo Oscar Yankee sweatshirt, from $26.95; ‘Save Us’ sweatshirt, from $26.95 (most designs available in long sleeve and short sleeve t-shirts, and long sleeve and short sleeve rompers). Enter may in redeem code on checkout for your 30% discount on winter jumpers, singlets and infant pants.

Frock You

Ok, I’ll admit it - I’m a Frock You www.frockyou.com.au addict!

My nine-month-old boy pretty much lives in their American Apparel Baby Rib Karate Pants (apparently so do loads of other little boys, given how quickly they sell out!), and the Smirk t-shirts are also a big favourite with their simple, eyecatching designs and bright colours.

Frock You have some great boys’ gear from Baobab (have you seen the dragon bodysuit?) and also from Moppit, who do some of my favourite little boys’ tees.

Pics: Baobab Dragon Bodysuit, $34.95; Smirk ‘Astronaut t-shirt, $34.95; Moppit ‘Sticks, Trucks & Rock n Roll’ t-shirt, $39.95

The Rocking Horse

I have found my all-time favourite beanie here at The Rocking Horse www.therockinghorse.com.au: the Blabla Pocket Beanie in Basil. There is also a great range of the Oobi knits, including the classic ‘Little Bear’ hoodie - little boys in hoods with bear ears are just impossibly cute, but be warned: all the grannies at the supermarket will want to stop you to admire him!

However, I think my absolute favourite products at The Rocking Horse would have to be the Well Spotted tees, as recently featured in (I hope you’re sitting comfortably) Shop 4 Kids, Timeout Sydney, Sydney Morning Herald ‘Fashion Police’, The Age, New Weekly, Sunday Life and Marie Claire. Phew! Great slogan t-shirts, sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. I’m finding it very difficult to choose between ‘I’ll have my people call your people’, ‘Far out brussel sprout’ and ‘I’m small but I know stuff’, and there are loads more besides!

Pics: Oobi ‘Little Bear’ hoodie with bear ears, $39.95; Blabla Pocket Hat in Basil, $39.95; Well Spotted ‘I’m small but I know stuff’ t-shirt, $29.95.

Chic Kids

If you, like me, worry about harsh chemicals on your precious new baby boy’s skin, then have a look at these Sckoon organics at Chic Kids www.chickids.com.au.

They are made from 100% organic Egyptian cotton, so perfect for the delicate skin of a baby. Check out the bodysuits - being in the kimono style they are wonderful for a newborn as it means not pulling anything over his little head (a guaranteed cause for screams, and not just from the baby!)

There are also some great top & pants designs, of which my personal favourite is ‘ZEN cloud’. And don’t forget to register with Chic Kids to get 10% off! Details are here.

Pics: Sckoon Organic ZEN Cloud Long Sleeved Shirt And Monkey Pants, $42.25 (was $46.95); Sckoon Organic Kimono in blue, $19.75 (was $21.95). Prices include 10% discount.

Pastel Pink

It must be said that a store called ‘Pastel Pink’ www.pastelpink.com.au is not the first place I’d have thought to look for boys’ gear. I’m so glad I did though; they’ve actually got some great stuff!

Have a look at the Bebe Marcel range, particularly the romper which is one of the nicest I’ve seen anywhere. And how cute is the David Fussenegger ‘Pirates’ bassinet blanket! There’s plenty more besides these two offerings, so it’s worth having a look for yourself. And remember that KSF readers get 10% off at Pastel Pink! Click here for details.

Pics: Bebe Marcel Romper, $35.95 (was $39.95); David Fussenegger ‘Pirates’ bassinet blanket, $44.95 (was $49.95). Prices include KSF 10% discount.

Kids Gift List

Last but certainly not least, one of my all-time favourite brands is Sooki Baby.

Kids Gift List www.kidsgiftlist.com.au has some Sooki Baby for boys on sale at the moment, so hurry on over and check it out before it all goes! I like this quirky little ‘Cruisin’ romper! (Spot the fluffy dice in the print on the front?)

There are some other great bodysuits and tees in the sale section too - I really love the environmental ones such as ‘I’ll change the world someday’ and ‘Save some green for me’.

Pics: Sooki Baby Cruisin’ Romper, $26.35 (was $32.95); ‘I’ll change the world someday’ onesie, $31.15 (was $38.95); ‘Save some green for me!’ tee, $31.15 (was $38.95)

Check individual sites for postage pricing and details.

The delicious Baby’s Got Style - www.babysgotstyle.com.au - are having an up to 50% off sale off fab clothing and accessories for bubs, kids and mamas.

Baby’s Got Style have the most sublime site, catering for sizes 00000-2 (the ‘Babies’ tab), 3-8 (’Kids’ tab) and Mums and Mums-to-be (’Mums’ tab). Browsing around BGS makes me feel like I’m skipping up a street, swinging my handbag on a sunny day, bouncing in and out of the most gorgeous boutique stores, being greeted with warm ebullience each time. Oh, the joy! This is what I always wish for, but rarely find.

Baby’s Got Style does a roll call of all the top brands including, but not limited to (deep breath now) : Aka Pipik, Albetta, Alimrose Designs, Annabel Trends, BabyLegs, Baobab, Bebe, Bical, BIG by Fiona Scanlan, BlaBla, Bobble Art, Booghaboo Baby, Children of the Revolution, Moppit, Cloud B, Cold Coffee, DripStik, DwellBaby, Elleroo, FLATOut, Fortune Tee, Fresh Baked, Giddy Giddy, Global Style, Haba, Infancy, Little Horn, Little Red by Mr Wolf, Little Twig, Mamas & Papas, mill & mia, Mother Hen, Munster, Oobi Baby, Ouch, Pure Baby, Snugglebum, Sooki Baby, Square Peg, Tiny Tribe, Toshi, Totem Kids, Vice Versa, Vintage Kid, and Zoo Emporium.
