Where all the cool kids hang…

Even before Fin was born I have taken a keen interest in his clothing. People at work used to laugh as another package turned up with tiny clothes for a little boy. There are only two places pretty much now I get stuff for him and it’s Shorties in Newtown and Little Pinwheel – a super-duper on-line store.

Shorties is great as the kids clothes are perfect for a little inner-west kid and the store itself is great to. There is a little gate so your little buddy can;t run off into the street and lots of toys to play with. Cecilia and the gals there rock.

Little Pinwheel has a great collection too. Great clothes – things that aren’t everywhere. I have to admit I get a lot of it on sale - especially when Fin was little and going up a size every three months. But now he’s wearing a mix of 0s, 1s and 2s, paying a bit more for stuff doesn’t seem so excessive – especially when it’s good quality.  Haley also writes an amazing blog that I read a lot – inspiring and honest and funny.

He’s still got his Bonds stuff, and bits and pieces from Cotton on Kids. But I cannot go into Target. I hate most of the stuff in there. And it smells. Maybe I am imagining things, but it smells of stinking plastic. And that can’t be good can it?

Now, for shoes, this gets even harder. I had plans on getting Fin some saltwater sandals, but you cannot get me out of mine. And I;ve said it before but it’s a slippery slope that can lead into MotherBoy mode.
