Goodness me! When Terri at Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au – decides to mark down her stock for the annual winter clearance, she certainly doesn’t do it by halves!

In fact, I think Terri has read my mind, because she’s managed to generously mark down all the brands I love best at her beautiful, beautiful store:

25% off new season Bebe by Minihaha clothing & shoes
25% off all new season Sooki Baby
25-40% of selected Baobab
25% off new season Purebaby
25% off new season Plum
25% off new season Gaia Organic Cotton
25% off selected Bonds

See? What’s not to love there? BUT, my friends, things get even better for KidStyleFile readers!

Not only do we get those discounts, we can also take an extra 15% off store-wide using the code ‘ksf-take15′ until 26 June 2009. That brings the savings up to 50% off – and don’t forget we’re talking about new season’s fashion in hugely sought after brands here!

On top of these discounts, if you spend over $65 in one transaction (excluding postage) Terri will give you an incredibly divine, snuggly Gertie & Me Bunny valued at $28.95.  The bunny offer is valid only while stocks last, so you don’t want to dally around too much.

New in at Little Styles are some seriously gorgeous gift sets.  They come in a range of prices to suit most budgets, and are such a lovely baby shower or new baby gift! They consist of a range of beautiful and useful products from top brands (including Alimrose and Marquise), and come packaged in adorable little keepsake suitcases – too cute!

I am also really quite taken with some of the other new products here, including the ingenious Bbox – such a nifty idea that I bet anyone who has one doesn’t know what they did without one!  The Giddy Giddy hairclips and accessories are so sweet, as are the Flipsy Flopsy Dolls and the Albetta range.  And the Milk Baby skincare range looks just heavenly, and I do mean ‘looks’ – the packaging is incredibly stylish, and the products themselves sound just wonderful!

Prices quoted in red below are applicable with code ‘KSF-take15′ until 26 June 2009 only.

Baby-wearing has been proven to be one of the best ways to transport your baby, strengthening the bond between parent and child and resulting in a more settled bubba, with the added bonus of leaving both parent’s hands free to go about other business.

The Peanut Shell sling is the ultimate functional, funky and fun baby carrier: it is suitable from birth up to 16kgs, can be worn in a variety of modes – cradle (suitable for newborn breastfeeding), tummy-to-tummy, kangaroo carry (upright facing out), hip carry and  back carry, it’s compact, and there are no straps, clips,  belts or adjustments necessary, making the Peanut Shell fuss-free and easy to use. The Peanut Shell also has a massive A-list celebrity following. Click here to find out who wears a PS.

The Peanut Shell is available in a impressive range of reversible snuggly microfleece and chic patterned sateen cotton designs, which are just gorgeous, but my new favourite Peanut Shell design is the new ‘Serendipity’ range of Peanut Shells, which is now available to buy in Australia.

The PS Serendipity line is features breathtakingly beautiful print designs, and the fabric is the highest quality cotton. I was lucky enough to meet the Peanut Shell girls and see and feel the range first-hand earlier this year and it looks even better in real life!

To celebrate the launch of the Peanut Shell Serendipity range in Australia Babes in Arms – www.babesinarms.com.au - is offering 15% off all Peanut Shell Serendipity Slings + FREE Express overnight delivery* valued at $7.70 + a FREE pair of unisex BabyLegs** valued at $16.50, to all KSF readers within Australia until 6 July 2009. WOW!!!!!! This is a stupendously good deal – I suggest moving fast to secure your preferred PS Serendipity design.

Here’s how to redeem the Peanut Shell Serendipity 15% off/Free postage/Free BabyLegs offer:

1. Visit the Babes in Arms website to choose your preferred Peanut Shell Serendipity design and sling size – as the Peanut Shell sling isn’t adjustable the sizing is crucial. Please click onto ‘sizing and fabric info’ button to determine your correct size before placing your order.

2. Phone Babes in Arms on 1300 725 276 9am-5pm weekdays, and place your order. Mention KidStyleFile to receive your 15% off/free postage/free unisex BabyLegs.

The Peanut Shell Serendipity sling range is available in Australian from Babes in Arms. Choose from ‘Window Shopping’, ‘Walk in the Park’, ‘Champagne’ and ‘Park Avenue Stroll’ prints. Please note that Park Avenue Stroll hasn’t arrived into Australia yet, but may be pre-ordered for early July delivery. The special offer details still apply if you order this gorgeous sling – yay! All Peanut Shell Serendipity slings are priced at $129.00.

*Delivery time may take longer for regional areas. Offer open to Australian residents only.

Cathy at 9 Months Waiting – www.9monthswaiting.com.au – loves babies so much that she has dedicated her entire store to little people from birth up to 12 months, and created a one-stop-shop for all your baby essentials. Cathy has chosen products based on quality and design, and the prices will blow you away: trust me, you will blink at how affordable her stock is!!

Choose from a great range of clothing from Bonds, Marquise, Three Little Trees, Baobab, Lotus Linens and Eternal Creation, and everything you need to give your bub (and you!) a good night’s sleep, including bedlinen, sleeping bags and wraps from Vanchi and Living Textiles.

I’m besotted with the Three Little Trees collection this season. Their Japan-inspired prints manage to be both cute and chic. Hot picks are the Ichi Ni cot linen, the Tokyo onesie, and the Honeysuckle Overalls (I have a pair of these popped away for gifting: they are truly adorable!)

For infant basics I highly recommend Marquise. Makers of the best layette basics for bubs, Marquise products are supersoft and high quality (they wash up beautifully: I know this because Marquise basics were a wardrobe staple for my two children) and the pure colours are perfectly suited to itty bitty babies. The Marquise cotton baby sleeping bags are a great product, as they give warmth, while not overheating your baby, and the open end gives ease of access for quick nappy changes.

The Living Textiles range at 9MW offers a fabulous range of affordable TOG rated sleeping bags, not to mention baby blankets and wraps.
