We’ve had a sudden cold snap here today, with incredibly cold winds slicing through me every time I step outdoors and dark clouds scudding along overhead.  It’s had me rifling through the kids’ wardrobes in search of their winter woollies and thinking nostalgically of the winter before last when we were in the Northern hemisphere where they just do winter fashion so beautifully.  Anyone who has ever flicked through a fashion magazine featuring scenes of Paris in winter will know what I’m talking about!

While my days of wearing high fashion may be over for the time being (why would I bother when I spend my days crawling around on the carpet and being covered in small people’s bodily fluids?) I do love to see my children dressed nicely, and I love that they can replicate the Paris chic feel when I shop at Little Frenchy – www.littlefrenchy.com.au. Run by gorgeous French couple Cyril & Aurelie, Little Frenchy brings the best of French childrenswear and accessories down under including pieces from Berlingot, L’Avenue des Bebes, La Queue du Chat, Paristic, Sucre d’Orge and Vulli.

Winter 2011 is now in store and I am inspired to go and stock up on some of it to recreate that northern hemisphere winter rush. That organic cotton hoody at #3 would suit my Master J down to the ground, while Master A loves buttons and would look ever so smart in the Twill Shirt at #1.  Standout pieces for girls must include the Popeline Dress at #2 and the Organic Cardigans in Moss and Strawberry – simply gorgeous. And as a bonus the sizing at Little Frenchy now goes from newborn up to 5!

Make the most of this opportunity to inject some chic into your children’s wardrobes without having to leave the house or even pay for postage!

With the cooler season getting underway in Australia, so too is the beautiful roll out of Winter ’11 fashion. Fashion designers from the northern hemisphere are well practiced in the art of producing stylish winter garments that are both beautiful and completely practical. At the height of luxurious winter fashion is that which hails from France.

Ahh yes, the romantic in me could whittle away a few wistful hours dreaming of what it will be like to one day stroll the streets of Paris, cheeks flushed pink from the cold, in my perfect winter coat and my favourite boots.  While this little plan of mine is going to take some years to eventuate, your dream of beautiful French winter fashion for your little people can become reality *today* thanks to Cyril and Aurelie, proprietors of the ultra chic boutique Little Frenchy – www.littlefrenchy.com.au.

Head straight to the New Arrivals section and you will find the new winter range that has just landed, direct from France and in store now at Little Frenchy. The best news yet is that this winter Little Frenchy have extended their size range from 0-3 years to 0-5 years – yay!

Highlighted in pictures below is the winter range available from quality label La Queue du Chat.  My top pick for girls is the Organic-Popeline-Dress-IS. This gorgeous little number is fully lined for cosy winter warmth, has a lovely square neckline all in a beautifully striking print matched with super sweet mother of pearl detail buttons on the back. Love! And for boys I can’t go past the handsome Organic-Twill-Shirts picture below in indigo.

Close your eyes.  Imagine you’re in Paris.  What do you see?  When I do this exercise I’m taken back to my Parisian holiday last year (bragging? moi?) and my delight at simply sitting in a cafe and watching all the beautifully dressed people walking past.  What is it with the French? How do they maintain such impeccable style even when just popping down to the shops for some milk?

I’ll tell you why – it’s because they take full advantage of having access to French clothing designers.  French clothing is cut beautifully and uses stunning fabrics, making everyone from the most venerable grandmama to the tiniest tot look amazing.  The bad news for us Antipodeans is that Paris is a 24 hour plane ride away.  The good news, however, is that we can shop some of the best childrenswear in France at Little Frenchy – www.littlefrenchy.com.au.

Founded in Sydney by an expat French family, Little Frenchy brings to us a truly delightful array of French childrenswear designers such as La Queue Du Chat, Berlingot and Des Mot Doux.  They carry sizes for babies and toddlers up to size 2, and a wonderful range of maternity clothing (which I so wish I’d had when I was in Paris, eight months pregnant and feeling like a frumpy hippo!).  You’ll also find accessories including my new favourite wall stickers *ever* from Paristic – seriously, aren’t they gorgeous! I’m also coveting their wonderful range of giftables; perfect for your own babes for Christmas or for baby showers or newborn gifting.

Right now you can take 30% off everything store-wide at Little Frenchy including the sale section where lots of lovely items are *already* discounted by up to 30%.  Use the code KSFCHRIS at checkout to redeem until it gets on the plane and heads back to France for Christmas on 5 December 2010.

Discounted prices quoted below are valid using the code KSFCHRIS until 5 December 2010.

1. Hat by Des Mox Doux, $24.00 less 30% = $16.80
2. Denim Jeans Trousers by Berlingot, $69.00 less 30% = $48.30
3. Dress Set by Des Mots Doux, $70.00 less 30% = $49.00
4. Organic Summer Dress Set by La Queue Du Chat, $59.00 less 30% = $41.30

Just over a year ago I was lucky enough to spend a few days in Paris. It was mid-summer, hot, crowded and I was eight months pregnant to boot, but I have seldom enjoyed days more than I enjoyed those. The French just have that indefinable flair and everything, everywhere, was a treat to the eye. I splashed out on French clothes for les enfants and ate so much French food that even my husband was in awe.  Ahhh, happy days!

Luckily for me, now that my kids have grown out of their Paris pieces I don’t have to fly back to the Northern hemisphere to buy more.  You see, a family of French expats have launched an online store in Australia called Little Frenchy – www.littlefrenchy.com.au – which brings the best of French childrenswear right to out door here in Australia.

Cyril, Aurelie and their son Thomas are importing some beautiful and hard-to-find brands including La Queue du Chat (“The Cat’s Tail”; ethical, organic cotton) and Berlingot (incredibly chic with amazing attention to detail). They have carefully selected all their pieces to ensure that each of them has that incredibly-stylish-without-trying-hard flair to it that only the French seem to be able to achieve. (And did I mention that it’s all adorable? It’s all adorable!)  And how I wish I’d known when I was pregnant about the Maternity lines they’re now importing.  They could have saved me months of looking like a beached sea cow and transformed me into one of those indescribably chic French mamas-to-be instead.

Below you can see a preview of Spring/Summer 2010-11 which has *just* landed in-store at Little Frenchy. Strike while the iron’s hot and get your kids kitted out for the warmer days to come, plus check out Little Frenchy’s 30% off sale while you’re there to help get your wardrobe together for your next European vacation. Place your order before 31 August 2010 you will also receive FREE delivery. Enter discount code ‘KSF80‘ at checkout to redeem and bonne journée!  (Have a lovely day )
