My two year old has recently been going through a new phase: monsters.

He’s obsessed with all things monster, whether it be playing ‘scary monsters’ (it involves jumping out at me from behind doors and shouting ‘RAAAAH!’ at the top of his scary little voice), reading books about them (Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak $19.99 $17.37, and The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson $19.99 $16.97, are his top picks), or wearing clothes featuring monsters.  There are also monster beanbags, monster backpacks, monster dinnerware, monster swimwear and monster games to be discovered.

So in his honour, today I’ve done a round-up of our favourite monster themed gear.  See the links below for where to buy, and enjoy!  RAAAAAH!

1. Monster Couture Beanbag, $99.95; Monster Couture Back Pack, $39.95 from Pastel Pink
2. For Walls Jumbo Chalkboard Decal – Monster, $59.95 from The Hip Infant

Woah! I’ve successfully come out the other side of Christmas with my sanity intact and my wallet, although noticeably lighter, is now ready for some much anticipated bargain time spending.

Modern Little Munchkins – www.modernlittlemunchkins.com.au is up to the challenge with up to 50% off all seasonal fashion pieces. Prices are as marked, while stocks last only.

Coco and Ginger, named after Aussie designer Saffron’s two little girls, features hand embroidery, vibrant colours and unique and limited fabrics. This summer, nothing is as cool as a Chloe sun suit which only require a set of chubby, dimpled legs to make them perfect. They are available in three colours (blue floral, pink floral and mixed floral). However, if your little munchkin has passed the toddler stage, perhaps you could indulge in a Ginger dress in either Yellow Batik, Orange Batik or Blue Floral. Heck – at the current sale price I’m inclined to take one of each AND the matching bloomers! LOL

Another Aussie label at MLM is Itch Design. The designs are unique and all conjured from the amazing brain of Jodi Walker. Currently, you will find some fabulous onesies which will need your close attention to see the unique patterns – breakdance and poodle doodle!

Breathe out! (I’ve found myself holding my breathe as I look through all the gorgeous items included in the sale – as if it will vanish if I fill my lungs!)

When I think of summer, I think of the water. Growing up, that meant swimming in our dam. As an adult, it finally means the beach! But what’s a dip in the water without some cool togs? Enter Tkxisurf , bathers with SPF50 protection that look great too! With my kidlets fair skin, the rash vests are a must this summer (remember, summer isnt even 1/3 through yet!). The Doves in Love set looks perfect for protecting Miss N’s little shoulders.

So what are your picks this summer? I’m sure you will find something in Modern Little Munchkins half yearly clearance – with gorgeous items from Coco & Ginger, Heavenly Creatures, Itch Design, Moppit, Tkxi Surf and much more, you have no excuse!

1. Coco and Ginger – Chloe Sunsuit (Blue Floral) Was $42.00 NOW $31.50
2. Moppit – Asymetrical Tribeca Dress Was $59.95 NOW $35.95
3. Coco and Ginger – Ginger Dress (Yellow Batik) Was $35.00 NOW $26.00 & Coco and Ginger – Pipi Bloomers (Yellow Batik) Was $22.00 NOW $16.50

It’s shaping up to be a long hot summer, and there’ll be nowhere better to be than the pool or the beach over the next few months.  But this leads to a dilemma: where on earth do you go to find gorgeous swimwear for the kids?

We at KidStyleFile have done the hard work for you, and rounded up the best brands for aquatic and marine fun this summer. From Polka to Girls 4 Sport, from Cuddlefish to Tiger Joe, and from Tkxi Surf to Stella Cove, the choice is extensive and there’s something for every kid from babies upwards.

Keep in mind, of course, that the Australian sun is harsh and damaging to delicate young skin, so look out for options that offer sun protection.  There’s a great range of rashies on the market these days, and brands such as Girls 4 Sport and Tkxi Surf are 50+ UV resistant.

For sheer prettiness, Polka‘s girly options and Stella Cove‘s chic styles are perfect choices.  Boys also have some great choices from Polka, and Tiger Joe do some great sporty sets for boys too.  Babies are spoiled for choice with more Polka, along with the eternal favourite Cuddlefish and adorable Lil’ Ludy.

Check out all these gorgeous options for boys, girls and babies, and get in the swim for summer!
