Do you, like me, often see baby and kids goods that you find so irresistibly attractive that you find yourself asking total strangers “Where did you get that?”

Well today I’d like to introduce you to style-savvy sisters Toni and Melony, who through their passion for everything unique and high quality in the realm of baby and kids, can help connect you with all the coolest threads, shoes, toys, accessories and decor from both faraway and nearby via their new web store ‘Where Did You Get That?‘ - www.wheredidyougetthat.com.au.

Where Did You Get That? stock exquisite brands including Aden + Anais, BabyMoov Bebedelice and Lovenest, Bella Tunno, Bod and Bod for Bubs hair and skin-care, Coco Boheme, Coo Clocks, Deglingos, Djeco, eco.kid, Lelli Kelly, Moppit, Morgan & Milo, Opal London, Pink + Blue Yummy Mummy, Star & Rose, Tea Collection, Tommy Rocket, Two Belles, Zid Zid Kids.

I want to have a little rave about a few of my personal favourites new to Australia, and brought to you exclusively by Where Did You Get That? Firstly, Tea Collection, a US brand that promotes a multi-cultural ethos in design and celebrates children as “little citizens of the world”.

Before Where Did You Get That? came along I always sourced Tea Collection from the US. Needless to say, I am so thrilled to have a local supplier!

Tea Collection make two affordable ranges: Tea Collection for kids 2+ and Daily Tea for 0-2 years.

I can tell you from personal experience that the quality of Tea Collection is just superb. The cottons they use never pill or fade, and the cuts are tailored beautifully.

Their jeans are the best fit I have found (adjustable waist joy!), and the denim is softened to prevent chafing.

The dresses are thoughtfully designed, and always feature beautiful detailing. To prove that I put my money where my mouth is, see the picture below of one of my daughters wearing one of her Tea Collection pieces: the Journey Dress, happily available at Where Did You Get That? so you can get a piece of the action too

Clockwise from top left:

Tea Collection Mendoza Boys 3 piece outfit - $155.00
Daily Tea Flower Fan Tunic - Limon - $29.95
Tea Collection Mopti Print Dress - Birch - $84.95
Tea Collection Journey Dress in Aubergine - $56.00
Tea Collection Tereli Yarn Dyed Indigo Pant - $64.95

Next on my list of faves is Morgan & Milo. An inspired addition to the world of children’s footwear, Morgan & Milo is the creative output of Mia Abbruzzese, who started Morgan & Milo to fill the gap for affordable, classic shoes. Morgan & Milo shoes have their heart in the quality of the past, and their head in the modern day, fusing fun and fashion in a way that is infinitely wearable, and never too precious.

Also in the shoe department at Where Did You Get That? is the unrestrained embellished decadence of Lelli Kelly from Italy. Not just a pretty face, Lelli Kelly shoes are designed for optimal comfort and foot health.

Clockwise from top left:

Morgan & Milo Navy Flame Slip-on - $44.95
Morgan & Milo Silver Sparkle Mary-Jane - $49.95
Lelli Kelly Iris Cross Mild - $105.00

Finally, you know I can never go past a good toy or decor piece. Where Did You Get That? is thrilling me with its well considered selection.

Firstly, Djeco from France. Djeco make a wonderful range of toys, puzzles and craft sets for kids, and Where Did You Get That? is stocking a comprehensive amount of them.

I just adore the Stamps Magical Dresses set which features ink pads, 14 stampers and 20 cutout princesses to decorate.

If you’re looking for amusement for smaller kids then the Djeco block puzzles make for a sweet occupation with their classic illustrations. Where Did You Get That? is selling the 4 packs so affordably too!

If you’re looking for an imaginative and unusual buddy for your little one then the divine Deglingos, again from France, fit the bill perfectly. Everything but run of the mill, Deglingos creatures are constructed of a range of high quality textured fabric that is sure to last a lifetime of companionship,

A delightful decor element is the Coo Clock from the USA. Besides being utterly whimsical this clock is clever too: it has a sensor that detects when it’s dark so it won’t bark, cheep or moo at midnight!

For out and about check out the Bella Tunno Designer Diner. It’s a funky, wipe-clean placement on one side and a reusable chalk mat on the other. It’s a portable imagination station for little artists and a traveling table for little eaters! Includes a 12 piece box of non-toxic colored chalk and a detachable chalk pouch. Never be stuck for entertainment when you’re out and about again!

Finally, one of my most beloved favourite brands, Zid Zid Kids.

Zid Zid Kids are pure imagination realised. Zid Zid Kids is a fair-trade company based in Marrakech, Morocco, and is the fusion of the creativity of husband and wife team Moulay and Julie, and Moroccan crafts-people. The result is stunning!

Where Did You Get That? is stocking bags, belts, shoes and these fabulous dress-up masks from Zid Zid. Bring the magic of Africa into your home!

Clockwise from top left:

Djeco Stamps Magical Dresses - $33.00
Coo Clocks - $92.00 - Available in 7 different designs
Zid Zid Kids Giraffe Mask - $13.95 - Also available in Lion and Elephant

Have you seen the HOTmilk maternity and breastfeeding lingerie before?

Buckets and Spades stocks kid sizes, boys and girls, from 000 up to 14. With everything from denim to dresses, boots to bows, I defy you not to find something you love here; I think it might be impossible, especially since most pieces are 30-40% off. (I think I might even have spotted something that I might be able to squeeze into in the kids size 14 items….more on that later….)

The breakdown is 530 item on sale in the Summer sale category (buy for the remained of this summer, or buy now for next summer) , 53 products in the Winter sale category (buying ahead out of season is one of my key money saving strategies; it’s definitely worth checking this section) and 107 pair of shoes (summer and winter varietals) going cheap too! WOW!

Brands on sale include BIG and ‘Fiona’ by Fiona Scanlan Fred Bare, Hula Girl, Eeeni Meeni Miini Moh, GumBoots, Piccolina, Guess For Kids, Gant, Trelise Cooper Kids, Tommy Rocket, Two Belles and European footwear brands such as Diesel, Giocattoli, Garvalin, Agatha Ruiz De La Prada and Bimbi.

To locate the goodies on sale, head on over to the ‘Specials’ menu option on the top navigation bar and select away, or choose from the categories chooser. With so much to appreciate, I recommend you take some time to make yourself a beverage, and enjoy the parade of well presented, quality products.

Here’s just a teeny sample to get you started. I’m going to have a little fun and play amateur stylist here (this could be bad news for my credit card, but anyway…)

You’ll get the picture that I like things to be a little thrown together, but you know, kids look great this way; it’s a visual splendor!

Two Belles Bombay Belle Lurex Dress $69.95 SALE $30.00. I always love this kind of dress because it can be layered easily: put a top on over or underneath, wear tights/pants underneath or not.

Wear Trelise Cooper ‘Stripey Mo’ pants underneath for practicality and visual kapow effect $55.00 SALE $39.00

Put these Fred Bare Silver Sparkle Ballet Shoes $44.00 SALE *JUST* $29.00!! on your groovy girls feet and you’re set. (Love these skimmer style shoes; remind me a lot of Morgan and Milo, but with a more do-able price tag. Also I just can’t do laces. These are the corners I cut so we can get out the door more or less on time).

For the little man in your life, this Fred Bare Factory Transfer Tee is crisp fun and super value at $41.80 $29.00 Match it with these Eeni Meeni Miini Moh Wide Waist Shorts $79.00 SALE $49.00 for summer cool. This may still seem like a bit for shorts, but you will be able to wash and thrash these over and over, and they’ll still come up smiling: the quality is just great.

On his feet place these Fred Bare Zebra Print Slip On shoes $44.00 SALE $29.00, and you’re ready to roll.

Another one for the girls (this is fun!):

Trelise Cooper Jack and Frill Top $63.95 SALE $49.00, matched with BIG by Fiona Scanlan Cargo Bocker Shorts $49.95 SALE $29.00 and Fred Bare Pink Zebra Ballet Shoes $44.00 SALE $29.00. Wear the aforementioned Trelise Cooper ‘Stripey Mo’ pants underneath the shorts (in cooler weather) to confound all conventions.
And for me (or your discerning teen)…this Fiona by Fiona Scanlan girls Doves in Pearls in Patriot Blue Tee $44.95 SALE $29.00. Size 14 is like a women’s size 12; a fine fit! The elasticated sleeves provide interest and elevate this tee from every day to happy day.
