I consider myself the ultimate bargain stalker. I always have my eyes out for precious goodies at fabulous prices, and it takes a lot to take me by surprise. A good sale will quickly draw my attention, but rarely will it consume me to the point that I find myself in a frenzy adding item after item to my shopping cart, like the current Tiny Threads – www.tinythreads.com.au – sale has.

This a HUGE sale – a GIGANTIC sale -  from TT, who specialise in designer overstocks, end of lines and samples at great everyday discount prices are now clearing the decks with 50%-80% off everything, while stocks last!!

The current 09/10 summer Tommy Rocket and Two Belles are reduced by up to 50%.  The hugely popular Cruiser jean is only $35.00 (save $29.95). In fact you won’t find a single pair of jeans, pants or shorts over $35.00 in the entire Tommy Rocket range! Wowza! The soul sister of Tommy Rocket, Two Belles has just as many bargains: dresses, shorts and tops all perfect for the summer. Don’t worry, I’ve already added a few of these to my cart for Miss N. (Is your heart fluttering yet??)

Looking for shoes? Don’t wait for the Boxing Day sales with Cheeky Little Soles up to 50% off. These shoes are the perfect pre-walker for your toddling tot. They are leather soft soled, sure to protect bubs little feet without hindering their first steps.  Want more? Well keep reading….

A local brand designed by Sally McDonald and Micah Handorf of Stussy and PAM fame, Rittenhouse is bringing hip back to comfortable Kids fashion pieces. This brand often grabs the attention with their well designed simplistic pieces which will have your child lounging away in comfort.  The whole range is reduced by 50%.

I’m nearly hyperventilating….these bargains are so hot, hot, hot!  Check out the Cocoon Couture beanbags a steal at just $59.00 each (how cheap is that??!! They’re usually $99 each!), the Munster range with up to 80% off, Mamapapa with up to 75%, and up to 80% in the Tiny Threads Clearance Store.

Update: Mamas & Papas Mylo – Arrival Date, Background on the Design and First Street Sighting (with Gwen Stefani, of course!)

Posted: December 17th, 2009

Today’s post written by Angela

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

When we attended the Kind + Jugend trade show back in September this year, we gave you a first glimpse of the remarkable new Mamas & Papas ‘Mylo’ pram/stroller/bassinet car seat/ system.

The result of years of research and development by leading UK bursery brand Mamas & Papas, the Mylo breaks the mould on travel systems, and has received a huge response, with hundreds of enquiries about when it will be available to purchase in Australia.

I am pleased to tell you that it will be arriving in April 2010. I recommending contacting the Australian distributors Childsmart to put your name on the waiting list if you are interested in one; I have a feeling they won’t last long!

To find out more about what motivated the design of this revolutionary multifunction system visit the Mamas & Papas Mylo website (be sure to check the videos demonstrating the product functionality – it really is impressive!) and read this interview with product designer Amanda Scaccheti, just posted on the Mamas & Papas website here, to get the background on what motivated the design.

You can also view a home movie of the Mylo being demonstrated at Kind + Jugend on Youtube here.

The first street sighting of the Mylo was made this week in the UK, with Gwen Stefani seen wheeling son Zuma in North London. Gwen has a long history with Mamas & Papas, she’s also been seen pushing a Mamas & Papas Skate and the limited edition (only 10 made!) Gold Ziko.

Thanks to KSF readers murphymoo, Stroller Mama and Nicola for your contributions :)

Shop Chic on a Budget: Save 15%-55% off Store-wide at Chic Kids

Posted: December 16th, 2009

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

With Christmas right around the corner and a quantity of presents still on my ‘to do’ list, I had a roam around the interlands to see what I could see and came to a happy stop at Chic Kids – www.chickids.com.au. Let me just say, best move I’ve made all week.  Denise at CK has decked the halls with oodles of fantastic gifts, including a fabulous array of budget-friendly options. Phew!  Now that’s a weight off my mind (and off my credit card!)

For little girls there are some beautiful new fairy outfits, with tutus, pettiskirts, ballet slippers, tiaras and wands in a gorgeous, glittering range of colours.  Every little fairy princess deserves to have the outfit to go with the job description, and these ones are not only adorable but also budget friendly: starting at just $5.50 for the wands and $23.95 for the sparkly petal skirts, you’re onto a winner.

A new line instore are the extremely collectible and, again, budget friendly charm bracelets and accessories from Charm It!. The bracelets are statement pieces in themselves, being constructed of linked crystals, and the charms are brightly coloured and… well, charming!  Again they’re budget friendly, with the bracelets costing $24.99 and the charms just $9.99 each.

I’ve worked out very quickly what’s going to make my two year old light up with joy: rubber duckies for his bath. No really, he adores them!  And the ones at Chic Kids aren’t just any ducks, they’re from Opal London and come in incredibly stylish option such as ‘James Pond’ (yes, he’s in a tux) and ‘Diamante Duck’, who is a ‘Pond Girl’ (hee!) if ever I saw one! These ducks make the most adorable stocking fillers, and there’s loads more goodies to choose from in the well stocked Playtime category.

Just to make the selection of gifts even more appealing to my poor abused credit card, Denise is giving KidStyleFile readers 15% off store-wide – until 20 December 2009 plus one extra day on 22 December 2009, right up until midnight! Enter discount code ‘CHICKIDSKSF’ at checkout to redeem this fine offer, which applies to everything in-store including the Delicious Discounts section where you’ll find treasures already reduced by up to 40% off, bringing your total potential savings in at up to 55% off!

Make sure you order sooner rather than later, as the last few days before Christmas are absolutely insane for premium online children’s retailers like Chic Kids. The earlier you order, the more assured your pre-Christmas delivery is, so shop now!

Visiting Baby’s Got Style is similar to visiting your favourite lolly shop. You have your special favourites that you can never go past (mine are Oobi, Munster and  Little Horn), the ones that you reserve for a very special treat (I’m thinking BIG by Fiona Scanlan), and the new arrivals which stop you in your tracks and scream out for a little taste test.

Hot on my radar is the addition of a super new label to the massive wardrobe at  Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au. A big welcome to Tea Pony and their gorgeously hip colour palate of kiwi, watermelon, mango, periwinkle blue, plum and raspberry.  Take a look, they are mouthwateringly sweet and sure to take you back to the days when you yourself spent summer doing cartwheels in the grass.

Of course in every good lolly store you will find a Minti on the shelves! Baby’s Got Style is no exception. Entering their 6th season this spring/summer, the Minti range is sharp and refreshing. The bright, bubbling appeal of their tees, such as Happy Tear Scoop Tee, captivates the essence of summer fun, and who can go past the Acid Bomb Short for a bit of oomph!

Looking for toys to pile underneath your tree? Baby’s Got Style have a whole range of funky wooden toys that are sure have your child engrossed through Christmas Day and beyond. From wooden picture books to Wooden Track with Cars, Paint your own Helicopter to a wooden fruit basket set, the only issue will be deciding which to choose!

In addition to all the fabulous new stock in store, you can scoop up some great bargains at up to 40% off in the Baby’s Got Style Sale warehouse. Click here for reductions for babies, and here for kids pieces. Also, make absolutely sure you’re signed up to the Baby’s Got Style newsletter, as every week they give away a $200 gift voucher to a lucky subscriber.
