Fun at The Kidstore

Nelly and I were lucky enough to be invited to the launch party of the new season of clothing at the kidstore at Chadstone last week.

It was a 30 degree day so we were more than happy to be heading to an air conditioned shopping centre as no matter what, home never feels as cool as a shopping centre.

I stupidly forgot my pram so was suffering a dead arm before I even made it into the store and was beyond grateful when the PR ladies and also the staff from the kidstore offered to hold Nelly for awhile, giving me time to browse the new stock.

It's all so colourful and fun, exactly what kids should be wearing.

I like kids to look like kids, not adults, and this stuff suits that mantra perfectly. 

Nelly already has a bit from the kidstore and it washes and holds up very well.

If it cant be thrown in the washing machine and drier, I don't buy it.

If it needs to be ironed, I also don't buy it. 

There was so much to choose from, I was like a kid in a candy store.

Too many options, a complete first world problem.

Nelly and her duck face. Oh my goodness.

We were given a voucher to spend on clothes or shoes from the new season and the below is what I picked out.

I wanted everything. Nelly has such an extensive wardrobe already that I have been attempting to restrain myself of late.

 I absolutely love the shorts and want them in adult sizes.

Somebody is excited about her new tee.

For once, something came home from an event that The Husband can enjoy.

After the event we had to swing past Woolworths and I had Nelly strapped to me. 

A man gave us a funny look so I returned his funny look with a raised eyebrow and he blurted out "I'M NOT SOME WEIRDO, I'M A 37 YEAR OLD CLUCKY MAN!!!" and ran off. So bizarre! 

I wasn't implying he was a weirdo at all, just returning his strange look. 

For all I know, Nelly was probably giving him one of her menacing looks, ha. 

Nelly is freakin' obsessed with this stool. 

It is her new best friend and her enemy all rolled in to one.

She goes from kissing it to punching it, all in one movement. 

What are your favorite stores for childrens wear?

Do you prefer kids to look like kids, or like mini adults?

Do you have a best friend who is also a stool?
