Children have such a special connection with gardens.  I love watching my son wander around our garden – I swear he glows with happiness during the time he spends out there, and I know the same is true of all children.  Then add in the element of magic which children always revel in, and the result is a whole new dimension of wonder and excitement.  This is something that Sally at The Fairy Jardin – www.fairyjardin.com.au – knows very well, given the name she chose for her online boutique (jardin is French for ‘garden’).

The Fairy Jardin is even more magical at the moment because they’re holding a huge end of season sale with up to 75% off brands such as Baobab, Bebe, Koby, Eternal Creation, Gaia Organic Cotton and lots more. Everything in the Last Chance and Summer categories is between 30%-60% off, PLUS KidStyleFile readers receive an extra 10% off everything in the aformentioned categories, meaning the potential discounts come in at up to 85%. *Woah!*  The magic code to enter at checkout is ‘KSFsummer‘ and it expires 19 March 2010.

This discount is only applicable on stock within the Last Chance and Summer categories, and it is not applicable with any other offer.

There some amazing bargains on offer here. I was happy to note that there are some winter items on offer, which is great news as the temperatures start to drop. I also just have to mention the Baobab Green Tuille Skirt (below, #1) which is not only less than half price and would be beloved of any little girl out there, but is also the perfect piece for St Patrick’s Day next week. (Kiss Me, I’m Irish indeed!)

I had fun collating an outfit for my eldest son which is pictured below (nos. 2, 3, & 6).  The MicroClothing Koi tee is eye catching and funky, and the addition of Roll Up Jeans by Freshbaked (such a bargain at over 60% off!) and a sharp little Eternal Creation waistcoat creates the kind of outfit I just love seeing on little boys.

Other pieces that I fell in love with: the simply adorable Ruby Red Audrey Dress by The Emperor’s Laundry, the Kate Quinn Organics Feather Maxi Dress and the super-cool pre-walker shoes by All About Heidi, which are manufactured using a single piece of leather and feature and adjustable tie at the front. Too cool!

My husband, who dabbles in a lot of things, including a little French, remarked “What a pretty name” as he peeked over my shoulder as I was strolling through the pages of The Fairy Jardin -www.fairyjardin.com.au – and I have to agree with him!

Jardin (pronounced jar-dan) means garden in French, and earlier in the year when the site changed its name from Fairy Kisses, it was done to reflect the carefee and spirited lives fairies live out down in the bottom of the garden.  This delightful site really is as beautiful as a much loved garden – with clothes, books, toys that have a special touch of magic about them.

First stop for a little magic is the Fairy Garden Page - a whole section of the site dedicated to fairies!  You will discover books, wands, wings and for something special, check out the range of fairy outfits from fair trade brand Piccalilly.

You will find a lovley range of organic and designer label clothing at The Fairy Garden including the new range from Kate Quinn Organics.  Ohh the new ‘Feathers’ and ‘Sundrise’ dresses are simply heavenly, you’ll see what I mean as you check some pics below!

Another popular label stocked by The Fairy Jardin is Bebe by Minihaha.  If you have a wee little girl, check out the Elle print woven frill sleeve dress in sizes 000-2 for a super sweet little summer dress.  Or the short sleeve graphic tee is a striking tee for your little man this summer.  Bebe stock is still arriving so you can pre-order at The Fairy Jardin by shooting through a quick email.

AS the weeks creep by, Christmas is always on my mind, so I can’t help but think the Japanese Kaleidoscope would make a great stocking filler, and the Dumpling Dynasty Explorer Kit looks like a top gift for a certain little man in our world!

Once you’ve strolled through this garden of delights, the magic continues for KidStyleFile Readers: until 14 November 2009 all KSF readers are being offered a bit of The Fairy Jardin magic in the form of $10 off everything listed in the “NEW” items category. The code to enter at checkout to redeem this offer is KSFNOV09. Enjoy your wander through the garden! (Note that this code can be used for your pre-orders of Bebe but is not to be use in conjunction with any other offer).

A. Piccalilly pink Rainbow fairy dress with wings $47.95
B. “Grow It, Eat It”: gardening projects & recipes $29.95
C. Japanese Kaleidoscope $11.50
D. Bebe Elle print woven frill sleeve dress $39.90
E. Kate Quinn Organics Maxi dress: “Sunrise”, 2-7 $64.95
F. Kate Quinn Organics peasant blouse in “Sunrise”, 2-8 $42.95

It’s that time of year again…summer is being cleared out to make way for my personal fave fashion season – the cosy knits and gorgeous jackets of Autumn/Winter ‘09! Here’s part one of our sneak peek at what some of our fav labels are offering, with everything trickling into stores as we speak (well, read):

Oobi

I know this is a firm favourite with all you loyal KSF-ers, and you can view their new season collection on their website right now, with stockists including Baby’s Got Style, ShopHouse, and Urban Child. I admit we’ve already indulged a little, with the cute hooded Owl Print dress (very Scandinavian) and the print also comes in Hoodies! They’ve also redone the popular Cord Dresses – this season’s addition is Red – and the eternally cute Little Bear Hoodie Jackets (hoods with ears, bless) in navy/red stripe. Other notable pieces include the Cable Knit Cardis and beautiful Cord Peacoats (navy or red). Yes folks, classic-cute dressing with quirky modern touches just doesn’t get better than this!

Eeni Meeni Miini Moh

The exquisite designs of EMMM are available right now at Kounia Bella, with a huge selection from newborn to tween sizes. For girls, the Marshmallow Trench ($129) gets two very enthusiastic thumbs-up (you can never be too young to learn about a classic cut!), as does the Gauge Knit Dress ($99) and the Balloon Dress ($84) for a little-girl look that’s big on style. Boys can work their tres cool Grass Stain Jeans ($94) with a rockstar Stripe Scarf ($39)  and matching Tshirt (from $51); while little people are spoiled for choice – cover up in the funkiest jumpsuits around ($69), keep warm in a long-sleeved romper ($44) or team a sweet babydoll dress ($49) with knitted tights and a beanie for warmth and style! And don’t forget their adorable bibs and blankies…

Baobab

Belinda Blooman’s label just keeps getting better and better. There’s a cool new Racer print this season, which looks awesome on their thoughtfully designed Kimono Hoodies ($45.95) and Hoody Tees ($47.95) – choose from baby blue, red or a lovely warm chocolate brown. New tee prints include a Plane and funky racing car ($37.95ea), while the ever poopular girl’s long sleeved dresses have a pretty bow or come covered in the Racer print ($45.95ea) - with some patterned tights and a big chunky knit cardi they will just look superb!

Bebe by Minihaha

My daughter is too ‘growned-up’ for this beautiful label now, but that doesn’t stop my endless cooing over it…this season, I fell in love with the Tatum Cord Dress ($49.95; there’s also an adorable romper in the same print for $38.95) for it’s girly ribbon detail and whimiscal mishmash of print. I pondered it for a long time before it was time to admit that size 2 was just not going to fit my rapidly growing tot *sigh*. Anyway, you can view other coo-worthy pieces on their website, with stockists including Ekidna Kids, The Fairy Jardin and Pastel Pink. The Denim Multi Print Pinafore and Chelsea Double Breasted Knit Cardigan all get my vote, while in the boy’s JR range, the Hunter Grandpa Tee is a cool classic, the Charcoal Stripe Lambswool Jumper looks as slick as it does cosy, and the Stripey l/s rompers with feet are just perfect for keeping little toes toasty all season!

In rows, top to bottom: Oobi, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh; Baobab, Bebe & JR.

*Not all styles available at all stockists; please contact individual retailers for details.

If organic cotton had been on the scene when my babes were small I would have bought it in truckloads – it just doesn’t seem right to put anything but the purest fabrics next to a newborns perfect, delicate skin. In addition to it’s natural properties, organic cotton feels just so darned good. I honestly don’t know how they make it sooo soft, but this tactile quality is quite marked in organic vs non-organic cotton.

Fair Trade production ensures that workers manufacturing products are paid a fair wage for their toil. It’s hard to believe that it could be any other way, but the sad truth is out there: exploitation is real. Buying Fair Trade products sends a message that we respect the rights of workers, wherever they may live, and that we’re prepared to put our money where our mouths are, and support the cause.

There’s no better feeling than buying something gorgeous, with the knowledge that the product I am taking home has been produced in an ethical way. Add to that a mode of manufacture that avoids pesticides and the use of other chemical nasties, and I am well and truly sold!

The utterly delectable The Fairy Jardin – www.fairyjardin.com.au – is having a Organic & Fair Trade Bonanza to showcase the fine products they are stocking in these categories.

Purchase from the following brands: Piccalilly UK, a leader in organic and fair trade clothing, Kate Quinn Organics from the USA, Little Blue Dog, BabyLegs Organic range, Eternal Creation fair trade fashion (0-8 years; great for parents of older kids), Gaia Organic Cotton clothing for 0-4 year olds (lots more stock still to come on that front, so keep an eye out!), and all natural skincare from Gaia Natural Baby, Little Joey Organics and Billie Goat Soap, and you’re eligible for a special treat*.

Sally at The Fairy Jardin will reward you for your commitment to ethical and organic products, by gifting you a free natural skincare product with every purchase of fairtrade and/or organic clothing until October 17. In addition, you will automatically go into the running to win a $100.00 gift voucher for organic products.

Mention ‘KSF’ in the comments box at checkout, to claim your Gift with Purchase, and to receive a second entry into the gift voucher prize draw (‘cos KidStyleFile readers are twice as special, after all )

*Please note that only purchases from these brands get you the free gift. If you purchase other brands, sorry, no gift, but you can get a 15% discount at The Fairy Jardin instead of (and *as well as*, if you buy organic/fairtrade products) the free goodies: pick yourself up a copy of the latest Shop4 Kids magazine to access the special discount code.

Following on from last week’s US Designers special feature, this week we’re heading across the Atlantic to the United Kingdom.

The UK has long been a source of leading children’s- wear and equipment. Iconic names such as Silver Cross prams instantly bring to mind classic chic, perfectly groomed nannies or the more modern ‘yummy mummies’ parading through Hyde Park with their beautifully dressed offspring on full display.

Hey, if you have a baby you’re proud of and gorgeous gear for him or her, why not show them off?

That concept shows in UK designers products – they’re always gorgeous to look at (not to mention touch) and practical to boot. And now, thanks to some of Australia’s top children’s-wear online boutiques, we can access the best of British design from the comfort of our living rooms.

So get comfy and have a look at some of my picks for the week!

The Fairy Jardin

The Fairy Jardin – www.thefairyjardin.com.au – stock the cutest little leather babyshoes from Starchild. I’m sure you’ve seen these before, they’re just so sweet! For the traditionalists among us there is Nenuphar London: timeless designs with a hint of their French heritage. Any child couldn’t help but look as though butter wouldn’t melt in their mouth wearing these clothes! They’re especially perfect for special occasions.

If you prefer organic cotton on your precious little one’s skin, there are two designers I would bring to your attention: Piccalilly Organics and Little Blue dog. Both have loads of adorable designs and are so gentle on babies’ skin!

Starchild ballerina shoes in blue, $42.95
Piccalilly red organic hoodie, $39.95
Little Blue Dog signature baseball top, $38.95
Little Blue Dog cat romper, $38.95
Nenuphar London puff sleeve dress, $84.95
Starchild gingham Jolly Roger shoes, $39.95

Urban Child

Another great place to stock up on UK designers is Urban Child – www.urbanchild.com.au. Here you can find simply beautiful baby clothes, blankets and accessories from AraVore Babies. Exclusively imported from London, all organic and knitted from exquisitely soft ‘Fair Trade’ cotton and merino wool, they are the most wonderful baby presents, especially for a winter baby. It’s the kind of gift that will become a family heirloom!

Urban Child also have the ever-popular Albetta (I’m in love with Albetta babygrows; could they get any cuter?) and a selection of WOW toys – these toys are destined to be come favourites with everyone, you can’t go wrong with them.

WOW toys ‘Motorbike Max’, $24.95
AraVore Babies organic vintage matinee coat, $105.00
Albetta Flying Machines babygrow, $42.00 $21.95 (great price!!)
AraVore Babies pink stripe jumper, $82.00
Albetta booties -blue velvet gingham, $24.95 $9.95 (even greater price!!)
Ekidna Kids

One of my all-time favourite stuffed toy brands is ‘Mamas & Papas‘ from the UK. These knitted and fleece animals are really lovely – just a bit quirky, a bit whimsical and bound to be adored.

The fleece ones can just be flung in the washing machine and the knitted ones are easy enough to spot clean. I know this because I got tomato sauce on my friend’s knitted puppy a couple of months ago – don’t ask – and was totally mortified until I realised the stain had come right out! (Promise not to tell her please )

My favourite place to get these in Australia is Ekidna Kids – www.ekidnakids.com.au.

M&P Colour Bunch soft toy – Tuli, $21.95
M&P Knitted lamb gift toy, $39.95
M&P Knitted puppy gift toy, $39.95
M&P Kitted bear gift toy, $39.95
M&P Colour Bunch soft toy – Baru, $21.95

Kids Gift List
Two fabulous UK designers at Kids Gift List – www.kidsgiftlist.com.au. The first is Sparrowkids, designers of stunning ‘DIY’ craft kits for kids. All the materials are Fair Trade (you can have very thought-provoking discussions with the kids over this topic) and they’re great quality. Craft projects aren’t just for the girls. Show me the primary school boy who could resist the pencilcase rocket!

The other designer is Trunki, which is only the best luggage for kids in the whole wide world. Seriously, who could ever go past the funky little ride-on suitcases with horns?

Sized to be carry-on baggage compliant, light enough for parents to carry comfortably over their shoulder and robust enough for not just one but two preschoolers to ride, these little suitcases are too cool.

Perfect for 3-6 year olds, and they are just as good for overnight stays at the grandparents’ place as international jetsetting!

Sparrowkids DIY felt butterfly bag, $28.95
Sparrowkids DIY felt sparrow bag, $28.95
Sparrowkids DIY rocket pencil case, $39.95
Trunki ride-on suitcases, pink and blue, $63.95

Please check individual store for postage prices and information.

Well, the weekend has rolled around once more, so it’s time to relax, put your feet up and get your credit card out. That’s right: today I bring you girlswear part two, gorgeous, groovalicious gear for girls aged four to seven.

Buckets & Spades

To get the ball rolling, let’s take a look at the MASSIVE sale section, with up to 50% off, at Buckets & Spades www.bucketsandspades.com.au.

I had great trouble singling out items to showcase here, because there’s just too much cool stuff to want to whittle it down at all!

That sale section is HUGE, it’s MASSIVE I tell you! There’s every designer you can possibly think of in there – Fred Bare, Diesel, Guess, Gumboots, Two Belles, Tommy Rocket, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh, BIG by Fiona Scanlan and so on.

You’ll have to dig through the 53 pages of winter specials (that’s not including the summer specials section) yourself to find out who else is in there. Now there’s a challenge for you

So what I’ve done here, just because I was so overwhelmed by all the choice, is just to pick out my favourites of the winter coats. It’s that time of year when everyone wants to be rugging up, and there’s no more stylish way to do it than with one of these pieces of gorgeousness below:

No links because Buckets & Spades is a frames-based site, but the search function works well so use that to hunt down your bargains!

Frock You

The Frock rocks, just no two ways about it!

I am a huge fan of Frock You – www.frockyou.com.au – and I think everyone else should be too. What do I love so much? Well, it could be the funky-yet-practical-and-cool clothes, the super-cheap-and-super-fast delivery ($5 for Express Post!), the great service from Kat (do you read her blog? Subscribe now, it cracks me up every time it hits my inbox) and so on and so forth.

And that’s not even mentioning the great discounts that Kat gives KidStyleFile readers: 20% off storewide with the My Child discount code!

Leave a comment on this post or email Angela if you don’t have a copy of My Child, she’ll give you the code just ‘cos she’s nice!

Are you sold yet? If not, have a look at some of my girlswear picks below:

Prices quoted include the 20% off My Child discount:

There is about to be a population boom in my neck of the woods. Seven of my friends are pregnant and due in the next six months!!

Are you like me, on a budget, but still want to get your friends something special? Look no further than Fairy Kisses – www.fairykisses.com.au.

They stock a large range of Oobi Baby clothing (size newborn to 3 years) and toys, and are currently offering a free Oobi Bella the Martian hoodie when you purchase a tee (long or shortsleeved: $24) and a pair of footies or pants ($21).

Also, check out the Bump Buddy cold packs a personal favourite must-have-item of mine. These Buddies are a truly brilliant innovation in the world of ice packs; kid sized, freezer friends (as opposed to crazy big bags of peas, which you have to bin after) that can be whipped out to cheer and heal the inevitable bumps and knocks of childhood.

Whenever my kids get hurt they call for ‘the Starfish, the STARfish!!’ and it’s presence always lessens the pain, physically and emotionally.

Also check out the Anamalz. Eco-friendly, affordable and great for kids to collect. FK are currently only stocking a few (kangaroo, hippo and lion), but they are the few that most other stockists don’t have their hands on yet!
