Bad Things!

So I have a new favorite tee shirt brand, I'm obsessed with buying pretty much everything for my man and my girl.  I love the skate references especially. Check out Bad Things Apparel here.

The Club of Odd Volumes

The Club of Odd Volumes is based in Melbourne, Australia and they make lots of cute printed items from home wares to apparel for adults and kids. There is a small selection of artists work available and you can even get your own designs printed through them too. Here are my pics for the kids...

Isabel Marant for H&M

The images of the full Isabel Marant for H&M collection have been released and there is a collection for teens! I'm not personally a fan of Isabel Marant but I do like it for kids so here are my picks.
The collection will be available from November 14th, I am not sure of the age range available yet, it is called Teens, but the models are definitely not teenagers. If you can't get your hands on some of this I am sure you will see knock offs fairly soon from some of the well known chain stores who tend to copy Isabel Marant styles.

Agnes Valentine

I just stumbled across these super cute retro styled swimsuits for kids by Agnes Valentine. For girls aged 4 to 10. Buy them here at Little Fashion Gallery.

Bassike for kids

Finally Bassike have released a kids range. I love everything! It looks like they are selling out of sizes fast so get in quick. Now if only Kowtow would start a kids range...

Kallio

How awesome is this brand Kallio from NYC. All recycled clothing made into great styles for kids. I love all the mens shirt styles. See loads more here.

Dr Martens for Kids!!!!

FINALLY! I honestly don't know how many times I have googled trying to find docs for little feet. The have offically become available today! I can not decide which ones to get, they have released all the classics. Anyone else remember how the cherry docs were pretty much the ultimate colour as a 14 year old in the early 90's? Well they were where I can from. I only ever had black and still do, I'm totally stuck in the 90's. These are available for little baby feet as well as toddlers and juniors. Hold me back!!!
BUY THEM HERE.
(Sorry for the classic shoe posts and not much else lately).

Kids Creepers

Not sure how I missed this but TUK shoes do creepers for kids! So classic. Buy them here.

Munkstown

I'm loving these cool and simplistic pieces from Munkstown. Based in New York, Munkstown is run my two mamas with great style obviously! The Navajo sweater and the circle tee are on my wishlist!

Mama Markets

Today a friend and I went to the Auckland Mama Markets in Ellerslie and it exceeded my expectations massively. Everything there is well made and really affordable. I think there are special deals at the market that you can't find online. I didn't take any photos because we went just before it closed but I noted down a few of the places that I liked below. The market is on every two months and worth a visit!

Tiny Turtles - NZ's biggest range of Bonds for kids and babies, I am a big fan of Bonds so I am stoked it is easier to get here now.

Carriwell - Nursing and pregnancy swimsuits, breast pads, maternity underwear and clothing.

Cocobebe - Tutu's and dress up clothing that is super affordable + some of the cutest swimsuits I have seen.

Pixie Party Supplies - really cute party things from mini wooden crates to stripy straws.

J Crew

If you like expensive yet simplistic clothing, J Crew is for you. The now ship to NZ and have a flat shipping rate. These are a few things I don't mind. The Saltwater sandals I think I will get for next Summer, wish they had brought that style into NZ, can't get my babes chubby feet into the classic style that is everywhere...

Mischka Aoki

I have been meaning to write about Mischka Aoki for a while now, they make some really beautiful high end tutu dresses. It's not all white but it mostly is. Each piece is really quite stunning. Tutu's are not my thing but I know there can be times when you need one and little girls love them. Based in Australia, you can purchase here.

Udder

I just discovered this Australian brand named Udder. They have some really gorgeous and simplistic pieces. If you are after bloomers - you must look here, the fabrics are beautiful!

Stella Kids

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I'm loving this collection from Stella McCartney Kids. All from Luisa Via Roma. If you have been into Witchery Kids lately you will know they have already copied a few of these styles.

They've done it again!

Mini Rodini have finally released a bigger sneak peek of their next collection. I am in love with the swimsuits! And how cute is the new peach version of the letterman jacket? There also appears to be a lot of cool hats including a panda and leopard print. Start shopping late January.

Ksubi for Kids!

Clearly this is not the time of year for my blogging regularity. Anyway did you know that Ksubi have done a kids range with Target? They have, it's ok but it's not as awesome as I expected. They have definitely toned it down and brightened it up for kids which is not really my cup of tea. These are my picks and they only ship within Australia. I'm definitely getting that vest!

Meadowlark for SPCA

It is annual appeal week at SPCA Auckland and Meadowlark have teamed up with them to produce some cool merchandise. All proceeds go towards their work looking after cute animals in need. Support the SPCA by buying some cool stuff, there are kids tees (sizes 2-8), a tote bag (perfect for a beach bag or nappy bag), Mens and Women's tees and a super cool coffee mug. You can even get a necklace directly from Meadowlark and $50 from every one sold goes to the SPCA. Get in there! I know I am going to buy up large for Christmas gifts. Buy the necklace here and everything else here.
