Easter Fashion for Every Taste

Posted: April 3rd, 2009

Today’s post written by Kat

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

I have to admit something: I am not a fan of theme-dressing. Sparkly christmas earrings give me hives; licenced kidswear causes nausea.

So, thinking about ‘Easter Fashion’ I nearly choked on my Creme egg (theme-chocolates I can handle).

Thankfully, I’ve realised you can be cheerfully festive and dressed to impress, without the need for fluffy bunny ears…(though if you can’t resist, try the hip version: Rock Your Baby’s Rabbit knit hat, available at Baby’s Got Style for $29.95. Adorable!)

Nanny Pickle‘s Bad Bunny Collection is so cute and cheeky it wins my vote for rabbit-themed clobber. Clobber, though, is a bit harsh, because this collection is made from supersoft bamboo and organic fabrics that are just luscious to touch, and come complete with important life lessons such as “Eat your Crusts” and “Don’t Run With Scissors”. Hehe! You can find the Bad Bunny at La Toriana from $19.95.

Cradlerock have a handy Easter section which includes these funky rabbit tees and hoody by Tiny Mammoth (designed by Beci Orphin of Princess Tina fame). How cool is this unique take on a gorgeous vintage print?!

Quinn Macool’s take on bunny prints is, erm, cool! From the cute retro “I Believe” (aaw!) to the “How To Draw A Bunny” tee, perfect for little artistes, you can personalise everything to your taste and nab a nifty new tee for only $22!

But if the only bunnies you want to see this Easter are of the chocolate variety, you could instead have fun putting together a gorgeous new outfit to celebrate:

Baby: Keep little ones warm and snug with a funky romper from Onesies – you’d be hard pressed to go past the simple and chic prints from Danish label Nanoou ($42, 0-12 months), teamed with this versatile, soft velour hat by Gertie & Me ($9.95) and gorgeous matching booties ($9.95; both available at The Hip Infant) for maximum aw-factor. You could also add a sweet little cardi like this one from Purebaby ($32.47 on sale from Just Ripe) for extra warmth and cuteness!

Little Boys: If Nanna’s going to be at Easter lunch, it might be wise to leave your rock’n'roll tees at home, and go for a timeless piece like this Wonderboy Stripe tee ($39.95, 6m-7Y, from Itty Bitty Yuppy). Work it with some classic denim (Munster Stovey 2 Jeans, $80, sizes 2-10; from Tiny People) and retro cool trainers – Adidas Country Stripe, $59.95, sizes US4-10; from Kido Store). If it’s cool, skip the hoody and go for a smart jacket like the Steve Mac coat from Freshbaked (on sale for $29.95 at BabysGotStyle). Watch out, ladies!

Little Girls: We all know how spoilt for choice little girls are now days when it comes to fashion – it’s hard to narrow down a party frock but this week my pick is Polka’s Black Birdy Frou Dress ($99, sizes 3-7; from BabysGotStyle). Accessorise with a slouchy knitted hat (Toshi, $18.95) and ribbed tights for a nice play on texture (Marquise knit tights, $9.95, both also from BabysGotStyle) - or try printed legwarmers scrunched at the ankle if you’re really cool (Huggalugs, $14.50 on sale from My Baby Rocks). Shoes? Yunginz Classeez ($59.95) are pretty enough for every occassion!

Please check individual stores for postage and delivery details. Always check the KSF All Current Deals page to see if you are eligible for any discount.

No Girls Allowed! Hip Fashion ‘Just For Boys’: Up To 25% off, plus an EXTRA 5% Discount for KSF Readers

Posted: February 2nd, 2009

Today’s post written by Miki

………………………………………………………………………………………………

As the mum of a boy, I often get frustrated when trying to shop for clothes for him.  I walk into any children’s clothes store and see row after row of pink, while the boys clothes might take up half a rack.  It’s inequality, I tell you!  I might write to my MP about it ;)

This is one of the reasons I prefer to shop online for his things.  I don’t have to waste my time walking into every pink-dominated store in town, and I can hunt around for the pieces which I think would suit him best – and the prices that suit me best!

Shopping online gets even better when I find sites like Just For Boys – www.justforboys.com.au – which is a relatively new site on the scene that sells the creme de la creme of boyswear in Australia.  I am in luuuuuurve!

Just For Boys stock a fantastic selection of clothing and accessories from Gabrial Saynte, Inky Dink, Mites, Pixie Rock, Sourpuss, Elodie Details, The Bitterstrums, Starchild Shoes, Ed Hardy, Wonderboy, True Religion, Sandbox Rebel, Cocoon Clothing, daksforkids, Monster Baby, Baby WIt, Personalised Pacifiers, Milkooler,  Fred & Friends, and Deadly Girl Couture (yes, despite the name it’s the boyswear they stock!),

Inky Dink is, as of right now, my new favourite brand for boys tees.  I love their styles – hip, a bit edgy and yet still age-appropriate for a little boy.  He’ll rock out in these tees!  The Urbanscapes tee pictured at no. 1 below is at the very top of my ‘must have’ list, I love it!

Mums of baby boys, have you seen daksforkids before?  They do the cutest little animal print pants in 100% cotton, and the best thing about them is that they’re designed to grow with your little man, starting off as full-length pants, then cropped and then 3/4 as he gets taller.  So not only are they adorable but you’ll get twice as much use out of them!

Right now is a fantastic time to pay a visit to Just For Boys, as Julie is having a sale on selected brands and products.  You can take up to 25% off Inky Dink, daksforkids, Ed Hardy, Wonderboy and Starchild Shoes – woohoo!!

And because we are special, KSF readers can take an extra 5% off with the code ‘ksfsummersale’.  Just type it in at checkout and you’re away!  This fiesta ends 12 February 2009, so leap on over.

You can take an additional 5% off these prices by using the code ‘ksfsummersale’ at checkout until 12th of February 2009.

1. Inky Dink Urbanscapes Tee, $29.95 $24.95 (my absolute must-have pick for the day!)
2. Wonderboy West Point Short Sleeve Western Shirt,
$44.95 $29.95
3. Starchild Sporty Shoes,
$34.95 $24.95
4. daksforkids Zebra Print Pants,
$29.95 $18.95

8. Inky Dink Space Invaders Tee,

9. Crime Scene Bandaids, $9.95

$89.00 $74.95

Just For Boys post Australia-wide from $7.90.  Please see their Payment & Shipping page for further details.

Itty Bitty Yuppy Big Housewarming Sale: Up to 75% off sale items, and 15% off new season’s fashion

Posted: August 28th, 2008

Today Miki brings you a joyous celebration from the inimitable Itty Bitty Yuppy. Happy Housewarming Kim, from all of us :)

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

Kim at Itty Bitty Yuppy – www.ittybittyyuppy.com.au – has just made the move to sunny Queensland – beautiful one day and perfect the next, as they say – and she is celebrating the sunshine in style with a fab Housewarming Sale.

There are 35 items at 35% off, 41 items at 50% off, and 15 items at 75% off. Woo hoo!! Choose from Abe Jones, Wonderboy, mill&mia, Moppit, the adorable Parisan Ballets shoes, Willow & Finn, Rock & Rattle, Tiny Tribe and much, much more.

To find all these fabulously and extravagantly discounted items, head directly to the IBY Sale section and spend a while blissfully browsing.

I love the completely cute Tiny Tribe rompers, like this drool-worthy girl’s one at 35% off. The Wonderboy Spidee Tee is hip and a great trans-season buy, especially at 35% off.

Another great pick is the Abe Jones infant tank at 50% off – adorable! ADORABLE, I say! And what about Rock & Rattle at 75% off?!

This sale will end on 31 August, go get a motor on it!

You can also score 15% off new season stock at Itty Bitty Yuppy when using the KidStyleFile Shop 4 Kids discount code*. Have you checked out the just-arrived brands at IBY including such as Polka (Ange just loves this new label), Chase n’ Sky, Tipitipi (have you seen their stunning rompers?), and the hottest baby and toddler swimwear from Cuddlefish.

Speaking of Cuddlefish, I have to say that I think it’s some of the best ‘little’ swimwear I’ve come across (Ange has been using Cuddlefish swimmers on her kids for the last 3 years, and is wrapt. She regularly gets asked if they come in adult sizes people love the look so much!) . The fabric is all 50+UV and the colours and designs are fantastic – fun, bright and age-appropriate. The buoyancy swimsuits have been carefully designed to the Standards Australia AS 1900 guidelines for water safety and I think it’s a nifty design for teaching the youngsters to be comfortable in the water as you can remove the flotation sections one by one.

Without further ado, some of my picks for new arrivals. The picks below are new season’s full-priced pieces, using the Shop4Kids 15% off magazine code. For sale stock visit the IBY Sale section (no further discounts apply to sale stock).

Kids in America: The Best US Kidswear Labels & Where to Get Them

Posted: July 26th, 2008

Post written by Miki
………………………………………………………………………………………………………

This week I’m having a look around at some of the best US designers in the boutique kidswear market – and of course, where to find them.

The great thing about the current high Aussie dollar against the US dollar is that many Australian retailers have been able to offer their US lines at lower prices – so make the most of it while it lasts!

One word of advice though – US sizes are a bit different from Australian sizes, and tend to run a bit smaller. So if in any doubt always go a size up when choosing.

Itty Bitty Yuppy

Itty Bitty Yuppy – www.ittybittyyuppy.com.au – have a big selection of gorgeous US designers’ lines. Abe Jones is a great one, with a range of tees and some adorable vintage-inspired dresses with sophisticated fabrics. There’s also Eight3One with the cutest little print onesies and tees for the little ones, and Pink Chicken (stunning New York based line) with fabulous prints and frills for little girls. There’s loads of choice for boys too, with Knuckleheads, Wonderboy and Tin Tank.

IBY are having a huge clearout sale at the moment, with prices on selected items discounted by up to 75%! Yes, it’s a great time to shop!

IBY images

Clockwise from top left:

Abe Jones infant tank, $49.95 $32.47
Knuckleheads ‘Don’t Bug Me’ tee, $29.95
Wonderboy ‘Basketcase’ shirt, $72.55 $47.16
Eight3One ladybug onesie, $32.95 $21.42
Pink Chicken ‘Lola’ dress, $82.45

Bubbafunk

Bubbafunk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – carry two beautiful US-based lines for tiny people. The first is Egg Baby by Susan Lazar, the first post of call for for exquisite hats and booties, plus some really lovely rompers. These are special pieces for special babies and make such wonderful gifts.

Then second is Quilt Baby, who deliver a colourful and contemporary take on some great basics, like bodysuits, wraps and bibs – just gorgeous!

Check out Bubba Funk’s huge clearance sale currently on for some great bargains.

Chic Kids

One of my favourite organics ranges can be found at Chic Kids – www.chickids.com.au – and that is Sckoon Organics. Based out of Soho in New York, Sckoon Organic products are beautifully soft and comfortable for tiny tots, and look great too!

Chic Kids also stock two fab t-shirt lines, verymeri and yoli-poli, both of which are popular with celebrities’ kids – and when you see how gorgeous they are you’ll understand why!
