The state of the environment has been an issue of concern for some time now, and the focus on environmentally sustainable options that minimise waste and use clean, green products, and modes of manufacture is one that we’ll need to keep paying attention to so our children, and their children’s children, can live long and happy lives in a healthy global ecosystem.

Shopping online is a great way to save some dollars and the environment at the same time: no need for a car or the monetary or environmental expense of petrol, plus shopping online - like right here! - saves you money AND a heap of time, so it’s a win win win win win situation!

Ekidna Kidswear - www.ekidnakidswear.com.au - is getting behind the cause this month, and encouraging you to buy clean and green for you children, by offering 15% off all the products in their Organics section.

Select from Green to Grow baby bottles, a reassuringly toxin-free option for bottle-feeding your baby.

Green to Grow bottles are made from PES plastic, which gives them a natural golden color. They are free of phthalates, lead and PVC - all known toxins - and free of bisphenol A – a suspected hormone-disrupting chemical used in polycarbonate plastic, from which most baby bottles are made. Green to Grow’s bottle teats are made from a transparent, medical grade silicone that is heat-resistant, non-toxic, and odorless. The teats are free of nitrosamines, a potentially harmful contaminant found in many rubber teats.

Green to Grow’s products are tested in the U.S. to ensure they meet the highest standards for quality and safety, are packed in 100% recycled packaging to be easy on the environment, and they are top rack dishwasher safe to be easy on you!

No doubt you have seen Anamalz before. An Australian design innovation, even at their diminuative stature - just 10cm high! - they are quite the standout pieces. With their delightful organic maple wooden bodies, posable limbs, and amiable expressions, they provide children with a lovely tactile play experience, which will last generations while being kind to the planet.

We love Anamalz here at out house, and have the whole menagerie of 12. My kids love to play with them, and assemble their collections along the dado rail in their bedroom. I must say they do really add personality to a space, feel lovely to hold, and are easily portable, making fabulous go-anywhere buddies for your child.

In addition to the 15% discount, Ekidna Kidswear is giving away a free Anamalz calico bag (holds 3 - 4 animals) and a pack of collector cards when 2 or more animals are purchased in one transaction.

I must say, that I am a big fan of chemical free options where possible, and there’s no time more important to minimise artificial and chemical ingredients than when your baby is smaill: their little bodies have so much smaller ratios to be able to process toxins, and it just feels right to keep them as natural as possible.

Ekidna Kids makes this easy, with a compact, but thoughtful range of products for the littlest ones. The Under the Nile Organic Vegie teething toys are just the sweetest chew toys, and easy to wash and care for, Aromababy GMO-free organic massage oil delivers the highest quality product to give your baby yummy massages with, and the Nature’s Child organic face wipes and bottom balm offer gentle solutions for your child’s sensitive skin, and how I wish the Dri Liners - a reusable absorbent insert that fits inside any cloth or disposable nappy - existed when my babes were small: I would have save a small fortune in nappies!!

The days may still be short and crisp, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel: the scent of spring bulbs is in the air and blossom is beginning to appear on the trees - spring is on its way. The thought of warmer weather, spending more time outdoors, and wearing lighter, breezier clothing fills me with pure elation.

Melissa at Urban Child - www.urbanchild.com.au - has captured the joi de vive of spring and the coming summer months to perfection with her new season’s stock, which is blowing my cotton socks off with it’s grace and beauty.

I have an exclusive sneak peak for you of some utterly gorgeous summer clothing coming soon to Urban Child.

Firstly, I want to introduce you to the elegance of Neige (French for ’snow’) from the US. Catering for sophisticated little girls and boys, Neige’s designer, Adrienne Catrina worked as an assistant designer to Vera Wang, and it shows in the understated perfection of the designs which exude timeless class.

Secondly, the irrepressible Oobi. Alex from Oobi never fails to inspire with her collections, and spring/summer, is the best yet in my humble opinion! Oobi delivers their signature party dresses in new season’s prints which are truly stunning, and I’m loving the new broad brimmed hat designs, which evoke a chic 70’s silhouette with the added bonus of providing extra sun protection for your child’s delicate skin.

Next up, keep your eyes peeled for Dwell Baby & Kids at Urban Child. Dwell’s cot sets and their kids duvet sets, and a great range of accessories, will be landing very soon. I visited the Dwell Studio stand at the recent Life in STYLE/Kids inSTYLE trade fair in Melbourne, and I can tell you that the quality of the Dwell products is exceptional. Comprised of the finest high thread count cotton, the fabric has a divine softness and coolness to the touch, which equals a blissful night’s sleep for your little one.

Coming soon in the footwear department, are Walnut - Melbourne shoes. Quality cotton-canvas, these shoes are comfy and infinitely wearable, while delivering a dose of cool to the feet of your child without breaking the bank.

For the little bebes, you cannot go past Baby Bonkies. The best baby wraps I have ever encountered, Baby Bonkies look super stylish on the outsidem, while keeping you precious bundle snug and warm by virtue of the cuddly minkee lining.

Finally, Aravore Babies summer stock is on its way. The voile dress pictured below says it all. (Melissa at Urban Child is hanging out for this to arrive as she wants one for her own daughter, and who could blame her? What a delight!)

Ok, that’s the big tease over, now Rest assured I’ll be keeping you up to date with when these gorgeous products are available for you to buy.

A special alert for all you bargain hunters/OobiWatchers out there. Melissa has discounted all her Oobi Baby winter 08 stock, so jump now and save a heap!

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.

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.

Check out just a handful of my hot picks below.

I’m feeling a bit nostalgia for the little bebes at the mo, so have turned my gaze towards lush products for the littlest ones and their mamas (don’t forget the mamas!!)

It took me a while to realise it, but turns out my little bebes looked best in classic pieces; heirloom knits and solid colours. The Bebe set exemplifies the classiness of this look. Start your own heirloom collection today.

I love the Infancy Spotted Romper and Bebe PJs for little men: ah, how snuggly.

Wrap your classy little man or Ms in a high quality Fish Lilly wrap. The gentleness and softness of their designs soothes Mums and babes alike. Just love ‘em!

Buy a new mama a Smart Moms Teething Bling Bangle or three, and make her feel a bit special, and also savvy: she’ll look stylish and never be short of a safe distraction for her little baby again (and how cheap are they!!?)

The Karma Baby Slings are celebrity cool, and super affordable, and the Isoki Petite-Travellers are a perfect gift for on the move, style-conscious Mums. I just bought one for Miki, who’s travelling to New Zealand soon, and she loves it

Ah, and now onto a subject I can’t ever get enough of: toys and decor

The My Munchkin Home decals bring an instant lift to a room, without requiring a life-long commitment. This elephant is BIG, and so uplifting, and what a steal 25% off!

I love these Crocodile Creek mini-puzzles: perfect size (and price!) for party bag inclusion, or toilet training incentives.

If you’re looking for a classy gift to give, you can’t go past Mamas and Papas, one of the UKs leading nursery brands. Also for littlies, these Chelona timber books are eco-friendly and great for stimulating hand-eye co-ordination. For older kids, Zoobie Pets are just perfect. They’re actually 3 toys in 1: a cuddly toy, pillow and blankie. Gotta love the triple-duty here, not to mention the infinite cuteness.

This Toys Pure Shalimar Puzzle promises endless playtime fun, with it’s fab colours and endless configuration possibilities (I gifted this to Miki’s son, Alex, and Mik says it’s every bit as cool as it looks!)

Another timber treasure is the Heimess wooden car, available in red and orange colour-ways. Give it as a gift with the Lark Knitted Ice-cream rattle (perfectly shaped for little hands, and appropriate for munching from birth up) and the Crocodile Creek PVC-free ball (also available in orange dog design), and you’ll be forever loved and thanked for it.
