For the last week I have spent my days building sand castles on the beach and chasing pelicans, so I’m having some SALES withdrawals.  I know just the cure! A sale which will allow me to add a few pieces to the kidlets cupboard in preparation for Master R’s very first day at preschool which is only days away. Enter Chic Kids – Chic Kids – chickids.com.au.

Take  a delicious 15% off  store wide at Chic Kids – including items already marked down by up to 30%! – and be laughing all the way to the school gate. Enter ‘CHICKIDSKSF‘ at checkout for your discount until 31 January 2010.

For a year or two now, I have routinely pounced on items from the Moppit range at Chic Kids. Australian designed, and loved by the likes of Suri Cruise, the Moppit range has introduced some jaw dropping coolness to both my munchkins wardrobe.  But what to choose?!? I’m thinking the Moppit Bat Tree Tee for Master R to begin with, and perhaps the Moppit Grey/Blue Checked Shorts.

Miss N won’t be left out of course! If you have a little girl, you know how easy it is to lose yourself in their wardrobe….so today I am pacing myself. Ooohhh, it’s so hard!  I am a huge fan of Baobab. The one dress I have from the range so far must be one of her most durable dresses. It withstands her endless rolls in the grass, washes so well and always gains attention. So, I think I’ll add to her collection with the Baobab Red Peacock Dress. I’m also well taken with the Dolly Up collection. What will you pick?

Chic Kids stock a huge range of items from Aden + Anais, Annabel Trends, Aroma Baby, Asthma Friendly, Babymode, Baby Einstein, Babyboo, Babylegs, Baobab, Baby Bee Cino, Beach Bums, Bebe by Minihaha, Bebe Jnr by Minihaha, Books To Wear, Bright Starts, Brio, Bunnykins, Cheeky Monkey, Chic Kids, Crocodile Creek, Disney DVD, Eternal Creation, Fairy Girls, Fresh Baked, Get Fresh, GUND, Jacques Farel, Kaloo, Kate Finn, Kiddy Sac, Le Bon, Little Heros, Little Swish, Look at the Wall, Mamas & Papas, Marquise, Mini Mermaid, Mon Tressor, Mooo, Mooo – New, Mooo T-shirts, Mooo Toys, Moppit, Mother Hen, New Seasons, No Throw, okidokie, Opal London, Ozbozz, Pebbles, Plumb, Poche, Princess Ratbag Pettiskirts, S & S Fortuna, Sckoon Organic, Soda Kids, Sparkle T, Star & Rose, Starchild, Taggies, The Happiest Baby, Tickled Pink, Tkxi Surf, verymeri, Walt Disney Records, Wild Eagle Trading, and yoli-poli.

Hey KidStyleFile Readers, I’ve got two words for you; two words we all love to hear – Clearance Sale! And they sound even better when teemed with the very chic Chic Kids! – www.chickids.com.au.

There’s a lot to love at Chic Kids and you can make the most of 10- 40% off clothing and toys while stocks last. Sale must end 17 August 2009, so head there now to make the most of these great reductions.

Top of my “lovin’ it” list are the absolutely adorable Mini Mermaid Dresses. Designed and made in Australia, one of these dresses for your little one will have her looking cute as a button! The combination of the retro style print of the fabric and the three quarter length make a perfect whimsical combination. Love them!

Soft and sweet is the Bebe Girl’s Cardigan on sale at the great price of $38.21.  This little number is also made mini – check out the Bebe Baby Cardigan.

I have been on the lookout for a few affordable new play things to help with the last “inside days” of winter and just look what I found; the Monkey Bowling Set is now only $13.46, or for some musical fun, Chic Kids stock a great range of musical toys like wooden maracas in all different colours and patterns.

Though they are not included in the sale, as the mother of a baby girl after two very boyish boys, I couldn’t help but include the scrumptiously feminine Princess Ratbag Pettiskirts. These are simply divine and I can’t wait until my little girl is old enough to enjoy one!  You could make yourself aunt or uncle of the year with a purchase of one of these for your niece!

Chic Kids is a quality site designed to make shopping a joy and not a burden. And as I can never resist a beautiful bow, special note on the FREE gift wrapping!

Bebe alert! Bebe alert!!

That’s Bebe by Minihaha, in case you’re one of the few KSF readers who doesn’t already know and love Bebe – it’s one of the most beloved baby brands around, and there’s a heap of new season styles at Chic Kids – www.chickids.com.au.

But what’s better than new season Bebe?  Nothing on earth… except maybe for discounted new season Bebe!

Yes, you read that right – and it’s not even only Bebe that’s discounted at Chic Kids, oh no!

Just for being KidStyleFile readers, you all get 15% off store-wide until midnight December 14, 2008. Just enter ‘CHICKIDS’ at checkout to redeem, it’s super-easy.

And because Denise at Chi Kids loves us, everyone who uses that code and spends more than $50 (not incl. postage) will receive a FREE Chic Kids bib!

So with that in mind, let’s have a happy browse around Chic Kids together

First up I want to point out the new season Marquise: clean, classic and cool, I think Marquise is a winner for every occasion, and it’s well priced even before the 15% discount so you definitely can’t go wrong there.

Mums of girls, have you seen the one-off dresses by Mini Mermaid before?  If not then make sure you check them out; they’re something different and really quite stunning.  Bold colourful prints and simple cuts make them excellent summer pieces for strong minded, individual little girls.

The Playtime section is particularly well stocked, and I want to mention the Sparkle T wooden toys which are new in store.  I’m very tempted to get the Sparkle T Wooden Magnetic Car Blocks for my boy, and that’s just one of the many things that caught my eye!

Also check out the adorable dress up outfits in the Playtime -> Just For Fun section – assorted fairies for girls and the cutest little pirate outfit for boys.  Is there such a thing as a child who doesn’t love dressing up?  If so, I’ve never met them!  But I bet these outfits would be enough to change their minds.

Other great gift ideas: Crocodile Creek meal sets for big boys and girls who are learning to feed themselves are always a hit, and for older kids who are learning to tell the time, what about a funky alarm clock or watch?

It’s always worth having a look in the Delicious Discounts section at Chic Kids too, as you never know what treasures you’ll find!
