Next week: Girlswear for 3-7 years

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

I have an imaginary daughter.

Is that weird? I know of kids who’ve had imaginary friends to talk to, and it isn’t like that; she and I have never had a conversation or anything of the kind.

But I do love to pick out clothes for her!

Even though I wouldn’t swap my little boy for anything, and despite all the funky boyswear on the market these days, I still find myself clucking over something like the Baobab horse print dress or the Mill & Mia denim pinafore. (Hey, I’m only human! Find me the woman who wouldn’t go all dotty over gorgeous bits and pieces like those!!)

Luckily for me, this week I’m indulging my fantasy-daughter-dressing to the max. Here are my pics for girlswear for the threes-and-under:

Ekidna Kids
Let’s start off with the ever-fantabulous Ekidna Kids - www.ekidnakids.com.au.

Stockists of a vast range of the best brands around, like - and keep in mind that this is just the tip of the iceberg - Smirk, Minihaha, Monday’s Child, Koby, Fish Lily and Oobi; Ekidna Kids are truly a shopping mum’s delight. Their stunning range of girlswear made my job of choosing just a few pieces to showcase extreeeemely difficult it must be said!

Ekidna Kids are even more appealing than ever at the moment too: they’re having a store-wide 25% off mega-sale to celebrate their second birthday! So hip hip hurrah for Ekidna Kids, and they certainly are jolly good fellows!

Minihaha Orient top with Sleeve Print, $36.95 $27.71
Eternal Creation Orleans Denim Ribbon Skirt, $41.95 $31.46
Vintage Kid ‘Ruby’ Shift Dress, $69.95 $52.46
Koby Spot/Jaquard Reversible Pinafore $44.95 $33.71 I love that this is reversible - effectively two gorgeous dresses in one!
Minihaha Vintage Long Sleeve Tee with Lace Print, $47.00 $26.96
Minihaha Coco Pants, $54.95 $41.21

ShopHouse
And on to the next gorgeous girlswear retailer: ShopHouse www.shophouse.com.au.

Recently ShopHouse have started stocking Mill & Mia, one of the funkiest Australian designers out there, and they always have a big range of Penny Scallan who I just love. I also love the extremely groovy IDTees, there are loads of designs all personalised with your kid’s name - what a great gift idea, if you can bear to give them away!

I think the best deal at the moment is on the Kee Ka organics range: for a limited time, buy one item and get one free! You can’t do better than that!

Make sure you look at the rest of ShopHouse while you’re there, as their accessories, decor and the like are second to none. I’m especially loving the Cocoon Couture growth charts right now.

Just to make it even more tempting to buy from ShopHouse, they’re currently offering 25% off all winter clothing and FREE Express Post on all orders  for the month of June - so buy up big with those discounts!

You’ll also receive FREE Bubble Bath when you buy any two products from the Bod or Eco.Kid until June 30. View full details here.

Mill & Mia Ruffle Sleeve Dress, $69.95 $52.46
Mill & Mia Newborn Long Sleeve Jumpsuit, $49.95 $37.46
Kee-Ka Organic T-shirt, $32.50 $26.00 AND buy one Kee-Ka item and get one free!
Mill & Mia Denim Knickerbocker, $62.95 $47.21
Penny Scallan Daisy Raincoat, $49.95 $37.46
Mill & Mia Denim Pinafore Dress, $71.95 $53.96 I LOVE this dress!

Baobab
Baobab www.baobab.com.au. Well, you’re guaranteed to know the brand already (who doesn’t? it’s developing cult status these days!), so I hardly need to tell you about the 100% cotton fabric, the beautiful seasonal colours, the distinctive graphic prints or the simply stunning detailing, do I?

But I will anyway, just because I’m such a fan.

Baobab was created by an Australian mum who wanted simple, no-fuss clothing for her daughter that still looked great. She designed her own to those ends, and I think she succeeded!

What’s even better is that Baobab currently have a knock-out sale on: 20% - 50% off a huge range of products! So get in there quick before it all goes, because you can be sure that it won’t be around for long at prices like these!
