As for Oobi at La T, there’s plenty to choose from but personally I love the 1950s Signature Corsage Vintage dress - so sweet! Match it with ruffle bloomers for an irresistible look. Then there’s the cornflower dress which looks somehow a little bit French to me, I love it! The rompers are perfect for the style-conscious baby, and so comfy looking! (Who doesn’t secretly wish that Oobi rompers came in adult sizes? Only me? Oh.) But the absolute pick of the bunch here is the Super 70s Space Hopper. These suit all kids from 3+ and take up to 100kgs which means that Mum & Dad can have a go as well, and they’re such a great workout!

Today I’d like to introduce to you to new KidStyleFile weekend contributor, Miki. Miki is mum to 9 month old Alex, and brings her stunning written style and a new perspective on boys gear to KSF. Today’s piece is Part 1 of Miki’s great expose of superb boys gear for less. Stay tuned for Part 2, coming next Saturday.
(PS Part 2 is now available here)

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Do you have a boy under the age of two? Do you struggle to find fun, funky and practical clothes him… without bankrupting yourself? Me too. The good news is that since I discovered KSF I’ve been enjoying multitudes of online stores which not only stock a great range of cool gear for baby and toddler boys, but also have fantastic sales and specials.

Here are a few of my favourites:

Quinn Macool

It’s very difficult to go past Quinn Macool www.quinnmacool.com.au when you’re talking about fresh and fun clothes for little boys, and even more so now that they’ve brought in their new winter value packs starting from $50.00 for jumper and pants. There are loads of options and great savings. In fact, the savings are even better this weekend, as Quinn Macool are having a massive pre-winter sale with 30% off winter jumpers, infant pants and singlets!

Check out these great designs:

‘Beam Me Up, Scotty’ Jumper, $24.46 (was $34.95); Bravo Oscar Yankee sweatshirt, from $26.95; ‘Save Us’ sweatshirt, from $26.95 (most designs available in long sleeve and short sleeve t-shirts, and long sleeve and short sleeve rompers). Enter may in redeem code on checkout for your 30% discount on winter jumpers, singlets and infant pants.

Frock You

Ok, I’ll admit it - I’m a Frock You www.frockyou.com.au addict!

My nine-month-old boy pretty much lives in their American Apparel Baby Rib Karate Pants (apparently so do loads of other little boys, given how quickly they sell out!), and the Smirk t-shirts are also a big favourite with their simple, eyecatching designs and bright colours.

Frock You have some great boys’ gear from Baobab (have you seen the dragon bodysuit?) and also from Moppit, who do some of my favourite little boys’ tees.

Pics: Baobab Dragon Bodysuit, $34.95; Smirk ‘Astronaut t-shirt, $34.95; Moppit ‘Sticks, Trucks & Rock n Roll’ t-shirt, $39.95

The Rocking Horse

I have found my all-time favourite beanie here at The Rocking Horse www.therockinghorse.com.au: the Blabla Pocket Beanie in Basil. There is also a great range of the Oobi knits, including the classic ‘Little Bear’ hoodie - little boys in hoods with bear ears are just impossibly cute, but be warned: all the grannies at the supermarket will want to stop you to admire him!

However, I think my absolute favourite products at The Rocking Horse would have to be the Well Spotted tees, as recently featured in (I hope you’re sitting comfortably) Shop 4 Kids, Timeout Sydney, Sydney Morning Herald ‘Fashion Police’, The Age, New Weekly, Sunday Life and Marie Claire. Phew! Great slogan t-shirts, sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. I’m finding it very difficult to choose between ‘I’ll have my people call your people’, ‘Far out brussel sprout’ and ‘I’m small but I know stuff’, and there are loads more besides!

Pics: Oobi ‘Little Bear’ hoodie with bear ears, $39.95; Blabla Pocket Hat in Basil, $39.95; Well Spotted ‘I’m small but I know stuff’ t-shirt, $29.95.

Chic Kids

If you, like me, worry about harsh chemicals on your precious new baby boy’s skin, then have a look at these Sckoon organics at Chic Kids www.chickids.com.au.

They are made from 100% organic Egyptian cotton, so perfect for the delicate skin of a baby. Check out the bodysuits - being in the kimono style they are wonderful for a newborn as it means not pulling anything over his little head (a guaranteed cause for screams, and not just from the baby!)

There are also some great top & pants designs, of which my personal favourite is ‘ZEN cloud’. And don’t forget to register with Chic Kids to get 10% off! Details are here.

Pics: Sckoon Organic ZEN Cloud Long Sleeved Shirt And Monkey Pants, $42.25 (was $46.95); Sckoon Organic Kimono in blue, $19.75 (was $21.95). Prices include 10% discount.

Pastel Pink

It must be said that a store called ‘Pastel Pink’ www.pastelpink.com.au is not the first place I’d have thought to look for boys’ gear. I’m so glad I did though; they’ve actually got some great stuff!

Have a look at the Bebe Marcel range, particularly the romper which is one of the nicest I’ve seen anywhere. And how cute is the David Fussenegger ‘Pirates’ bassinet blanket! There’s plenty more besides these two offerings, so it’s worth having a look for yourself. And remember that KSF readers get 10% off at Pastel Pink! Click here for details.

Pics: Bebe Marcel Romper, $35.95 (was $39.95); David Fussenegger ‘Pirates’ bassinet blanket, $44.95 (was $49.95). Prices include KSF 10% discount.

Kids Gift List

Last but certainly not least, one of my all-time favourite brands is Sooki Baby.

Kids Gift List www.kidsgiftlist.com.au has some Sooki Baby for boys on sale at the moment, so hurry on over and check it out before it all goes! I like this quirky little ‘Cruisin’ romper! (Spot the fluffy dice in the print on the front?)

There are some other great bodysuits and tees in the sale section too - I really love the environmental ones such as ‘I’ll change the world someday’ and ‘Save some green for me’.

Pics: Sooki Baby Cruisin’ Romper, $26.35 (was $32.95); ‘I’ll change the world someday’ onesie, $31.15 (was $38.95); ‘Save some green for me!’ tee, $31.15 (was $38.95)

Hello, Shoppers! Hope you’re off to a great start for the weekend

8:15pm - Lastest news in:

ShopHouse - www.shophouse.com.au - have just upgraded their discount on Little Kitchen kids cooking setsfrom 20% off to a massive ***40%*** off!!

These make ideal gifts for Easter (they’re one of the gifts I’m giving!) They haven’t even had time to update the image on the product page from 20 to 40% off yet, but the discounted price is already viewable.

Prices range from <$18.00-$33.00. Stock is low, so make haste and scoop a super bargain! Pick up your Krooom products with free shipping while you’re there, and you’re on fire, baby!! Link straight to the Little Kitchen product page now!!

**************************

I posted in February on the chaos of my domestic habitat. I am proud to report that last weekend (while Dad and the kids were out, and I was supposed to be sleeping off an icky cold; I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity!) I de-cluttered my desk and workspace. It was getting to the point that I was struggling to find the keyboard on my desk, so y’know, it was way overdue!

The lynchpin of the success of the operation was the Krooom Juliette Desk organiser, which I purchased from ShopHouse - www.shophouse.com.au - recently.

I have had one of these organisers on my list for some time, but the utilitarian grey variety commonly found just didn’t light my fire. Juliette’s sophisticated design, earth-friendly ethos paired with ShopHouse’s FREE shipping deal on the Krooom products clinched the deal.

Juliette comes flat packed, and you build her yourself. This task is made easy as pie with ShopHouse’s how-to video (there’s a link on each product page).

Other Krooom products include the ‘Don’ Table and Chairs set, and Storage Bench Box for kids. Way cool products that think outside the square. That’s what we like!

Check out the full post the ShopHouse offers, and to see product pricing details.

If you’re looking for Easter goodies then you can’t go past Pastel Pink’s - www.pastelpink.com.au - great Gift-With-Purchase offers.

Purchase 3 pieces or more and you get to choose a FREE pack of kikki.K Sticky Notes in either the ‘Animal‘ or ‘Fashion’ designs. (Now I’m on a roll with my work-space organisation/beautification project, I’d better get a motor on it and snap up some of these for myself!)

Mention ‘KSF’ in the notes section at checkout, together with your preference for sock colour/Sticky Notes, to receive your gorgeous gift with purchase. This offer is available until stock runs out; there is limited availability so binky on over to Pastel Pink to score!

That’s all for today, folks. See you again tomorrow

Have you looked at the calendar lately? I just did, and Easter is approaching fast! Good Friday is happening on March 21 this year, so you (and me!) only have a couple of weeks to get your shopping done.

We’re in luck though, as rewards are to be had for savvy early-bird bunnies who plan ahead and shop at Pastel Pink - www.pastelpink.com.au

Cheryl at Pastel Pink knows just what we need, and she is offering the sweetest Easter deals exclusively to KidStyleFile readers.

Buy any Gertie and Me Bunny for your child for Easter and receive a FREE Emotion and Kids 3 pack of quality socks (RRP $11) in your choice of Pale Blue, Pink, Navy or Red!! Superb!

The super-soft buns range between $24.95-$29.95. View the delightful selection you have to choose from here.

I highly recommend Gertie and Me. We have both the waffle-fabric toys and the velour bunnies in our home - the velour softness of the bunnies is sooo divine, and the design is just perfect for little hands - and I gift them often (just sent one to Germany); they’re classy, friendly and affordable.

While you’re shopping, why not pick up a pressie for yourself?

Pastel Pink currently has kikki.K products* on sale for 30% off, and if you purchase 3 pieces or more you get to choose a FREE pack of kikki.K Sticky Notes in either the ‘Animal‘ or ‘Fashion‘ designs. *Including kikki-K Recipe Book, Baby Journal, My Friends, My Wedding (all pictured below), and My Dream Home, My Bills, My Receipts, My Pregnancy, My Recipes and Sticky Notes (not pictured).

That’s just what I need to get myself organised as the weather cools. (I’m not too inclined to spend the Winter months cooped inside surrounded by indescribably bad clutter; aesthetically pleasing organisational tools might just inspire me to tidy and brighten up my space).

Pastel Pink’s Summer Sale also still has some Oobi (including the iconic Cable Knit Bear Hat with Ears Beanies and matching Cable Knit Booties for just $20.97 apiece; snap up these and grab a true bargain for Autumn/Winter), and Gaia Organic Cotton separates for the bebes, and Mitsy jewellery and bags for the Mamas (hey, Mother’s Day isn’t that far away either; you can justify it
