Ah, just how I love the day to kick off: some retail therapy which leaves me with heaps of change to spare, and plenty of  time to hang out with my kids instead of schlepping around the shops. The source of happiness today is the inimitable Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – and the event on offer is a massive sale with up to 50% off all clothing (most of the markdowns meet that waterline), plus a few extra goodies thrown in for luck, while stocks last.

Minihaha, anyone, or Woof!?  How about Tiny Mammoth, Moppit or… wait for it… il Tutto?  Yes, I thought that would get you excited!  There is a truly enormous range of sale items from all of these brands and a lot more.

One of the items on sale at 25% off is the fabulous il Tutto Olivia Clutch.  A dear friend gave me one of these in red (they’re also in cream and black) for my birthday a couple of years ago and it has been my constant companion ever since.  For a sleek Italian nappa leather clutch it fits an awful lot, such as the current contents: several credit/eftpos cards, cash (notes & coins), a pen, a box of sultanas, a matchbox car, a nappy, a travel sized pack of wipes, several crumpled receipts with notes scribbled on them, my mobile phone and my keys.  And it still zips up and looks fantastic!  I can’t recommend the Olivia enough to any mum who needs something small but stylish and containing all the essentials to just grab and leave the house with.  The il Tutto Bella Mini Bag is also on sale and I hear from friends who own it that it is equally fantastic.

Of all the designers in the massive sale, the one I just can’t get enough of at the moment is Tiny Mammoth.  Bubba Funk has a big selection in store, and it’s all utterly gorgeous: soft, practical kidswear with really quirky design twists.  Not to mention that every single piece of Tiny Mammoth is half price at the moment!

Mariana at Bubba Funk loves KSF, and is offering all readers FREE postage Australia-wide on all orders over $100.00  until 1 March 2010.  The code to redeem this fine offer with at checkout is ‘KSF100‘.  Nothing more to say: shake your booty and get with the funk!

Last year, one of my dearest friends gave birth to her first child all the way over in Denmark. I was bursting with anticipation as I awaited the upload of her very first baby photographs so I could goo and gaa all the way over here in Australia. (And I did….she  is simply divine and I told my friend so.) My next comment was “Where did you get that fabulous jumpsuit?!”. It was the first time I had set my eyes on a Molo outfit and it was love at first sight!

Molo – www.molo-kids.com – hails from Denmark and is created by Danish designer Louise Frederickson.  The label produces clothing for newborns right up to tweens. The quirky, funky Molo range will splash colour into your kidlets basic wardrobe to create an individualised style  that screams street coolness. These quality pieces, rich in a spectrum of colour and pattern,  will become an ongoing favourite for you too, I’m sure.

Molo is stocked at Babybees.com.au here in Australia.  If you are up for a little international shopping you could check out  Asos.com, which has the Northern hemisphere outgoing Molo winter range on sale at bargain prices.

Marc Jacobs is becoming a household name for his growing celebrity as Creative Director for Louis Vuitton and head designer for his eponymous brand. As well as designing upmarket fashion collections for women and men, his company also designs a childrenswear range called Little Marc Jacobs that he was inspired to develop by friends and colleagues with children. The range reflects many of the same influences as the grown up collections and have a relaxed comfort that is important for kids clothes, and is available in sizes 2-8 years.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Jacobs declared his approach to fashion as “straightforward and anti-intellectual…I think that children are very lucky because they don’t have any rules. With children it’s as simple as ‘yuk’ or ‘yay’ and they are not frightened to ask a million questions. I think that it’s nice to retain that childish naivety.”

The Little Marc Jacobs collection for Spring/Summer 2010 that will be heading into Northern Hemisphere stores soon, carries a lot of the same influences as the grown up Ready to Wear collections including big prints and bright colours, with toned down, more casual and relaxed shapes for kids. I love the teales, coral, sky blue and yolk yellow with some denim and florals thrown into the mix.

A lot of these pieces may be more than you would pay for own clothes, but the styling, colours and shapes can still provide a little inspiration.

The Marc Jacobs childrenswear range is sold in Little Marc Jacobs flagship stores in Europe and the USA. Purchase online from Little Fashion Gallery, Alex and Alexa, Children Salon and Milkshop to name a few.
