Kardashian Kids at Big W: PHOTOS

You probably saw on the various news outlets that the kool kat of the Kardashian Klan Khloe Kardashian was in Australia, and she was spuiking the new Kardashian Kids range… guess what, you guys: it's super cute!

Kardashian Kids - the lovable children’s apparel collection designed by Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian West and Khloé Kardashian - has just launched online and will be instore at Big W on August 6, 2015.

“My sisters and I are perfectionists, especially with our kids' line. We want the clothes to be chic and stylish, but also items that will actually be worn and played in,” says Kourtney Kardashian. “Design details like fabrics, structure, waistbands and hems are all equally as important to us as what the clothes look like.”

Here are the pics of the range, then read on for more:

Says the blurb:

The highly anticipated range for little girls features an assortment of adorable designs from every day styles to special occasion items including woven broderie lace dresses with rose gold button finishes, playful soft tulle skirts with rose gold foil polka dot details, loveable one-pieces with girly tulle ruffles and two piece sets in fun geometric prints.

“We thought, if our own kids want to dress in tutus or try on our clothes, why
don’t we give kids stylish outfits that are super cute, but also reflect styles that their moms would wear? ‘Mommy and me’ style is everywhere right now! The white lace dress, bomber jacket and peplum top are all pieces that could match mom’s looks,” adds Kim Kardashian West.

In addition to offering exclusive Australian styles, the debut Australian range will be the only Kardashian Kids collection worldwide to offer designs up to size 7T for little girls.

“We are delighted to welcome Kardashian Kids to BIG W. The collection is a wonderful addition to our existing children’s range, and a great example of providing our customers access to great brands and beautiful styles at everyday low prices,” comments Alison Jones, General Manager of Marketing, BIG W Australia.

“We're really proud to have a collection that is simple, stylish, functional and in great fabrics and shapes,” says Khloé Kardashian. “Most importantly, it's a fun collection that little girls will love. We want to make fashion fun for them!”

The Kardashian Kids Spring 2015 range for little girls will be available from size newborn (000-24mnths) to Toddler (3-7yrs) and retail from $20 to $35 exclusively online at BIG W starting July 28 and inside BIG W stores nationwide starting the August 6.

'The Kidstore' Halloween Dress-up and Dolls

Happy Halloween!

Oh, go on... you know this event is now garnering more and more popularity in Australia.

Are you in? Do you celebrate it? My five year old twins, my daughter in particular, is so into the whole dress up thing. Any excuse for it, really.

So, where do you go for dress up costumes? Cheapie stores? Expensive costume shops?

I had no idea I could find stuff at a kid's clothing store. Yeah, I know. I don't get out much.

I have recently discovered the fantastic chain of Aussie kiddie stores called... 'The Kidstore'. Cool name... it's so obvious! A kid's store - for kid's stuff! My children and I were invited to an event recently to celebrate its expansion, and they took part in a photo shoot. Here are the results:

Kidstore have loads of Halloween costumes for sale... and they're inexpensive!

Here are some:

Also... they are giving away a Halloween doll for 'TwinnieWorld' readers. But you must be quick. Here they are, three up for grabs, $15 each.

Email me at josiegags@optusnet.com.au with your details (name and address, and they will send it straight to you!)

If you don't already, 'like' the Josie's Juice blog Facebook page, and give the Kidstore FB page a 'like', too.

Have you left your kids scary outfits to the last minute? Yep, me too! The Kidstore, people!

Mambo at Big W Spring/Summer 2013/14 Collection + Reader Giveaway

Have you seen the new Mambo Spring/Summer 2013/14 collection at Big W?

It's impressively high quality, ultra stylish, bright and colourful, and (my favourite part) completely affordable.

I won't lie - I don't spend a lot on my kids' clothes. You know, it's that whole argument: "But they grow out of them SO quickly!" They do! And that's one of the reasons I always think 'budget' for my five year old twins' threads. That doesn't mean I forgo styling them up and wanting them to look super cute.

When I came across Mambo - sold at my fave chain store Big W - I was completely impressed with everything about it (you can spot a cool Mambo design at 20 paces), and have been dressing my kids in Mambo all winter. And now, in the spring/summer 2013/14 new collection.

It's all SO darn cute! AND now: TwinnieWorld readers have the chance to win some fab pieces from the new collection! Twelve readers (six packs are for boys, six packs are for girls) can snap up a collection of Mambo clothes for their little ones. Read on for more.

First, more about the iconic Australian brand.

Mambo is an Australian company established in 1984 and is owned by The Nervous Investor Group, a collective of creative and surfing entrepreneurs. Surf, art, music and humour are the four pillars upon which iconic Australian brand Mambo was built. Founded in 1984, Mambo quickly became an iconic surf brand with its distinctive satirical designs created by a diverse collection of wildly talented artists such as Reg Mombassa, Maria Kozic, Robert Williams and Ben Noble.

Representing Mambo is an enviable line up of ambassadors from pro surfer Luke Cheadle, Rugby League superstar Benji Marshall and hot Aussie actor, Ryan Kwanten, to the glamorous ‘Mambo Goddesses’ Erin McNaught and Cheyenne Tozzi (with another new face soon to be announced). Mambo has hosted major international music festivals, surfing events and has had its unique art exhibited in museums around the world.

Mambo develops young artistic talent, produces innovative products, artworks and quality clothing. In 2000, due to demand from the athletes, Mambo designed the Australian team uniforms for the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games. There have been several books written on Mambo, as well as a lead business TIME magazine article, and just last year, esteemed UK publication, Cult Street Wear, listed Mambo as one of the world’s most influential apparel brands of the past 30 years alongside Nike, Adidas and A Bathing Ape.

Mambo continues to solidify its place on the international fashion stage as the quintessential surf and skate brand with an ever growing list of global stockists in Australia, North America, South America, Europe and Asia. For more information go to www.mambo.com.au
