Have you noticed today’s date?  Dum dum DUM! – it’s Friday the 13th! Sometimes this date is considered bad luck, but I can assure you that today it’s postively *lucky*!

Brands stocked include And Me Too, And The Little Dog Laughed, Aunty Ollie, Electric Boy, Elki, Envirosax, Mini Life, Oishi-M,  Rube & Harri, Twirling Betty, WillowBlu and YKnot? Designs.

My top picks are the *adorable* Customs Cape, made in Melbourne by Knuffle Kid – a must for girls this winter. The Oishi-M Hoodies for boys are hot property and the classic stripe tees from And Me Too (seen below at #4) inject some French flair into any girl or boy’s wardrobe. I am also a long time fan of Aunty Ollie and I’m thrilled to see their Puddlejumper Jackets here, along with the universally flattering Wings Dress dress which is available in blue denim as shown below, and also black denim and a very funky purple and gold print.

If you’re anything like me, you like to dress your kids in gear that’s a bit different; a bit special.  After all, our kids are such incredible little individuals that it seems a shame to have them wearing the same clothes as every other child on the street – they should be allowed to showcase their individuality.

Someone who shares this point of view is Leisl of the lovely online boutique Threads Of Red – www.threadsofred.com.au.  She stocks only small run handmade and boutique brands, all of which have an eclectic and whimsical charm.  Most of the brands are local as well, which is an added bonus.

One of my favourite labels is Australian-designed, UAE made brand Auntie Ollie.  My boys have several of the Aunty Ollie Little Man Shirts between them and I can’t recommend them highly enough; we get so many compliments on them every time they get worn. The shirts are well made and the fabrics are just gorgeous.  I’m eyeing off the Aunty Ollie boys shorts now… and of course there’s lots for babies and girls and mamas, too! Mini Life is a new Aussie label for girls which bursts forth with a range of dresses so summery and lovely that you’ll want them for yourself. Other great labels at Threads Of Red include And Me Too, And The Little Dog Laughed, Aunty Ollie, Electric Boy, Elki, Envirosax, Mini Life, Oishi-M,  Rube & Harri, Twirling Betty, WillowBlu and YKnot? Designs.

There’s something powerful and exciting about the colour red. It’s vibrant hues are energetic and alive and this matches the vibe at new store Threads of Red – www.threadsofred.com.au – to a T.

As Proprietor Liesl sourced unique wears for her own two children she discovered that this passion soon grew into a dream of one day owning her very own store. So, a very loud and proud ta daaa! for her today as she has turned her dreams into reality and opened Threads of Red for business.

Liesl has kept to her strict personal standards and only stocks small run boutique and handmade brands that have that special infusion of love together with classic appeal. Case in point, the divinely eclectic mix of baby and kids clothing and accessory brands at Threads of Red including And Me Too, And The Little Dog Laughed, Aunty Ollie, Electric Boy, Elki, Envirosax, Mini Life, Oishi-M,  Rube & Harri, Twirling Betty, WillowBlu and YKnot?.

Summer fashion delivers a perfect mix of cool and summery little dresses for girls and great summer shorts and tops for little men. If you love accessories, you will love all that’s in store along these lines like fabric visors, headbands and hair clips from Twirling Betty as well as designer accessories like necklaces, cuffs, headbands, belts & brooches from YKnot? (I predict their unique frilled cuffs will be a major trend this summer!). Stylish mamas can rejoice too at the gorgeous range of nappy bags from WillowBlu which come in under $160 – which is a brilliant price point for an Italian leather handbag.

To celebrate the launch of Threads of Red, Liesl is offering all KidStyleFile readers FREE postage on all orders *Australia wide. Simply enter ‘FREEPOSTKSF’ before 12 November 2010 to redeem. Enjoy!
