The Lillie Kimono Floral Top is my favourite, it would look gorgeous on my little blue eyed curly poppet. In particular I love the vivid prints, the lime, pink and orange with chocolate sash. Lovely change from the shabby florals I usually go for.
It’s a tough choice as there is just so much cute stuff on the website but I would love to see my son in the Retro Stripes Denim Pants. I also loved the Where’s My Car? wall art – shame it’s sold out!
I love the Lillie Kimono Polka Dress, I’ll have to investigate a custom order.
The Retro Stripe Denim Pants are also very cute.
I love the little chopper tee, it’s a standout with such great bright colours!
New baby bubble dress- so cute and original
So hard to choose!
Either the Red Apple Polka Skirt or the Corduroy Mini Skirt with Little Birdie.
Gorgeous!

The baby bubble dress!!! It looks like that feeling you get when you are 5 and Dad just said you could have another lolly. It makes me happy.
With 3 little girls I think I could buy the whole dress section!!! If I had to choose just one, ummmm hmmmm, ok the Lillie Kimono Polka Dress ♥
I love the Pom Pom corduroy overall. I have shared this on FB and bookmarked for later. Love the clothes.
I love the Lillie Kimono Polka Dress, or the one pictured above. Unique and stylish!
By “above” I meant at the top of the page in pink and yellow :0)
so nice! but I love Denim and the denim apple pants are probably the cutest EVER!
Tough to pick a favourite. I love the new bubble dress and also the polka kimono. I have never seen this brand before, thanks kid independent for introducing me!
The ‘Fly me to the moon’ tee, ‘Pear Luscious Brown dress’ and the ‘bubble pants’ (with the love heart doilies) are my very favourites but there are so many wonderful things to choose from.
I love the Bubble Dress, it’s so cute because it’s very stylish and super pretty and sophisticated, nice for special occasions.
I love the cheeky T-Rex Tee, this design is so my little boy!!
I love the Pear Luscious Brown Dress because it looks so versatile – like it would be great over a long sleeve tee for cooler weather or on its own when it’s warm. And I always like something that my little miss can get lots of wear from!
The New! Cheeky T-Rex is gorgeous!! I would pick this for either of my boys
I love the new Bubble dress! think my little girl would look lovely in one of those!
I just love the Lolly Pops Denim Pants. My little guy would look super cool in these gorgeous pants
The denim dresses, so gorgeous
I Love the Apple Denim Pants, awwww and the Hungry Caterpillar Tee and the Baby Bubble Dress. Really all the items are beautiful. I love the fabric choices an the colours are bright and fun.
Love the Cards wall art – as a very special boy would adore this on his bedroom wall
Handmade Kimono, Our Charlie loves all things oriental , I bought her little fans and hair pins but she keeps nagging me for a Kimono.
The BlOsSOM SkIrT is oh so girly, frilly, colourful, playful – its a girly must have, love it!
What a hard choice…. love them all!!! My favourite would have to be the adorable Bubble Dress, though, made with such bright, fun fabric.
I’m Indonesian, with Olive skin, round eyes, and all, but my daughter has pale white complexion along with almond shaped eyes. Everyone keep commenting that I abduct a stray Japanese girl for myself.. LOL. I gave birth to her, no denying it. So I love http://www.lilliebee.com.au/product/Lillie_Kimono_Floral_Top so much it’ll perfect her looks more!
WOWZA!!! What a hard task!! But I chose the Lillie Kimono Floral Top purely because my 5 year old daughter is OBSESSED with all things Japanese/Asian/Oriental!! I think you would hear the screams of excitement if I was to puchase really any of these oriental inspired outfits.
Love love love all of the boys section, my fav’s are the retro stripes denim pants and the alphabet tee! So hard to find great boys gear but you guys have done brilliantly : )
Absolutely LOVE the bubble dress which is unfotunately out of stock – it has a great mix of colours (love the blue trim) and the hem line is to die for … it reminds me of skirts that were all the fashion when I was a young girl in the 80s!!
Daisy Pink Dress – fit for any princess!
wow.. the Akira Kimono Dress is totally divine. What little girl wouldn’t feel like shes the most beautiful princess in the room in this spectacular unique dress!!
Hard to narrow it down to one favorite… (those kimono style dresses are just beautiful. I wish she would consider selling her pattern!
I love the Akira Kimono. I also am insane over that gypsy ruffle skirt… and now I see the adorable brown polka dot shorts. aaaaahhhhh…) ok, so if I have to pick one, I’d say the Akira Kimono dress because the fabrics all pop against one another and I know my wee little 4 year old, who LOVES dresses, would just be edible in this one. Thank you for this incredibly generous giveaway!
I adore the Akira Kimono Dress, because it’s so fresh and girly. My 5y old would look like a blond japanese princess
I love the Where’s My Car wall art to add some colour to a very beige room.
Parisian Doll Dress – I love it’s vintage look, so sweet and girly without being too cutesy.
Sorry to be dull (it was your featured item) but the Akira Kimono dress is just divine. I loooove the Japanese influence, and those colours would look just fab on our little pale blue-eyed blondie!
Blogged (bragged) about it here

The Akira Kimono Dress – just fabulous!!!
The Cheeky Monkey tee for boys is super cute too!
My fave is definitely the Parisian doll dress. I love the vintage look of it. And the doll image is just too precious.
The Pom Pom Reversible Capelet is the perfect item for our current seasonal climate.
I love the Pear Luscious Brown Dress, it would be lovely for a casual day trip out or more formal occasion, cool in summer and with a skivvy and tights underneath would be warm in winter.
Akira Kimono Dress is adorable and stands out with its cute little sash. I have 5 nieces, the eldest is only 5 and she already knows a very large amount of countries. I think she would love a little bit of japan.
The cheeky TRex long sleeve shirt does it for me – uber cute!
Handmade lovelies are always the best.
Oh how to choose! I think my overall faves would be the Parisian doll dress and the Pom Pom Corduroy overall. With my 3 girls these would go down a treat!
my favourite has to be the bubble dress, simply adorable!!
Have shared on Facebook
Everything at ‘lilliebee’ is lovely and I really love the girls’ Green Checkers Pants, however I am now going to take a look at the boys clothing.
It is always so hard to find something new and appealing in boys clothes!
Insanely crazy hardest choice ever but I think you found it. The Akira Kimono Dress is the MOST gorgeous dress I have EVER seen!!
