All items from Witchery Kids, see below for details.

Your kids can look the picture as well as you this summer.

My little man is 4 going on 16, especially when it comes to clothes. With multiple fashion designer grandparents and me for his mum, he takes his fashion options seriously already. Children's fashion is now a topic of constant discussion at our place.

I have some wonderful stylish options from childrenswear heavyweights Witchery Kids, Country Road, Pumpkin Patch and Seed Heritage - exciting news for fans of the Australian label Seed, which will finally open its first New Zealand store in Auckland this April.

Also below are some super-cool selections from New Zealand brands Pop Factory, Mavis & Osborn and Carbon Solider.

I rocked out my Ziggy Stardust fantasies when I spotted Carbon Solider's David Meowie cardi and it is already little man's go-to coverup for outdoor summer nights.

And there's a sneak peek of Goblin from the wonderfully talented mother-of-two Rose Owen, whose background in textile design lends itself to her ever-expanding and truly chic yet functionable range of baby and children's clothing.

Finally check The Line Up for some summer holiday fun ideas for your little people - all proven favourites in our household.
