Finding a place to shop from birth right up to the final stages of childhood can be a challenge. But there is a very happy place to keep wardrobes sorted for little monkeys from birth right up to size 14 for girls and size 16 for boys. This happy place is none other than 5 Little Monkeys – www.5littlemonkeys.com.au.  There are new arrivals right accross the spectrum of sizes in stock at 5 Little Monkeys, so today, let’s take a peek  at some of the new arrivals – from the littlest to the biggest kids.

Winter treats For Babies. Shopping for babies always feels like a treat to me and I have had oodles of fun browsing the new season trends from Pure Baby and Ouch now in store at 5 Little Monkeys.  I love this sweet little pale pink corduroy Dress from Pure Baby, and although they make many of their pieces in duplicate sizing for babies and older kids, all the mini sized baby wear from Ouch is just lovely!

Winter treats for Little Boys and Girls. If you have a little one aged somewhere from 2-3 up to 7-8, there is a bounty of goodness for you to choose from at 5 Little Monkeys! Newest to arrive is stock from two beautiful designer labels:  Run Scotty Run and  Three Little Trees. Both Australian, these two labels both make sensaitonal clothes for little people. I love the Run Scotty Run First Prize Zip Hoody and tried to hold back but I can’t…check out my very first namesake from Three Little Trees – the  Anna Long Sleeve Tee. Ha! love it!

Winter treats for Tweens and Teens. Tween parents ahoy – you can happily shop for winter from 5 Little Monkey’s as they stock up to size 14 for girls and 16 for boys. Brand Bauhaus is a must see brand if you are shopping for these sizes.  For your long legged tweens, check out the Bauhaus Combat Cargo – dirt (available in sizes 8-16).

Plus Winter Treats for little feet! With the change of seasons now upon many Australian families, keeping little toes warm is becoming a priority. 5 Little Moneys have a selection from the always impressive brand Walnut that will keep little toes warm and looking mighty fine to boot! Check out the picks below of desert boots to keep you little man sorted and long boot and suede mary janes for your little ladies twinkle toes.

I love the warm colour palette of this time of year. I see it in the amazing display of colour amongst fallen leaves. I see it as the sun dips below the clouds a little earlier in the evenings, casting it’s beautiful golden shades across the backyard. I see it when I reminisce about the open fires of my childhood, of stories being read aloud and warm milk moustaches!  I see its beauty reflected at 5 Little Monkeys – www.5littlemonkeys.com.au and their amazing collection of new season clothing.

All that 5 Little Monkeys have on display for this season is truly gorgeous. With clothing for girls in sizes 000-14, and sizes 000-16 for boys, you are bound to find some special new items for your children, no matter what their size!

Showcased here at KidStyleFile earlier this month, was this seasons range from Australian label ALEX & ANT. There is something really special about this label. As always, my favourite piece is a dress! Pictured below at number one is the Smock Dress With Floral Bodice. Yes, it is all the things I love about a great dress: feminine and yet totally wearable and ready for your little lady to live out some fantastic new adventures in.

Ouch is another stand out label stocked by 5 Little Monkeys, and though I love it every season; I think I love this collection is my favourite so far! Though I don’t often choose to wear them myself, the addition of a little girl to our family has started me off on a whole new love affair with stockings. I just cannot get enough of them! Ouch has some really sweet little numbers to choose from. In polka dots, in sparkles, as footless tights or as full stocking….and all completely gorgeous. Needless to say there will be a lot of these added to her wardrobe this winter!

Yes, winter is coming. So too are flushed little cheeks and cold little noses! But with brands like ALEX & ANT, Ouch, Zephire, Tommy Rocket, Two Belles and a host of other brilliant Australian labels; 5 Little Monkeys makes for a fantastic place to spruce up the wardrobe and get all decked out in clothes, boots, hats, stockings, scarves and gloves for wintertime fun!

I’m shivering my way through an English winter at the moment.  We’ve had record snowfall, a couple of weeks of temperatures never getting out of the minus figures, heavy frosts, fog, you name it.  But all I need to do to virtually feel the sun on my face and a warm breeze in my hair is look at all the beautiful summer collections in Australia’s best online childrenswear boutiques. It never fails to put a smile on my face and always acts as an antidote to homesickness. One of my very favourite online boutiques to banish my winter blues is 5 Little Monkeys – www.5littlemonkeys.com.au.

Ange at 5 Little Monkeys runs the store from her idylic home in Bremer Bay, Western Australia, and she really understands what makes great summer fashion, and 5LM is absolutely packed full of stunning desginer pieces for babies and kids. Try Ouch, Two Belles, Tommy Rocket and Three Little Trees, Miatom, Oobi, Baobab, Wilkie, Nurtured by Nature, x&y threads, Blissy, Wild Things of Noosa, Redsand, Boxdale, run Scotty run, Mon Tresor, Flirty Bird, Baby Legs, Baobab, Aden & Anais, L’il Fraser, Alex & Charli, Hess-Spielzbeug, Keptin-Jr, Rush, Bobble Art, Walnut Melbourne, Holster Sandals, Cocoon Couture, Ikaboo, Kaboosh, Tiger Tribe, Honky Tonk and Gertie & Me on for size!

To crank up the heat a few notches 5 Little Monkeys are running a hot summer sale with up to 50% off store-wide. To reward KSF readers for being so darn cool, Ange at 5 Little Monkeys is giving us all an additional 10% off! That brings the goodness in at up to 60% off!! Use discount code ‘KSFS10′ at checkout to redeem this offer until it finishes at midnight on 31 January 2010.

While you’re throwing cheap-as-chips bargains into your shopping cart, keep an eye out for all the hot new stock arriving at 5LM too.  For example, the Ouch Baby Denim Pinny (no. 11 below) is a new arrival and it’s the perfect trans-seasonal piece for a baby girl.  Wear it as is on hot summer days, and layer it up for cooler weather, it’ll go with absolutely everything. The new T-Bar Sandals in hip metallics from Walnut are hot to trot too, love ‘em! I also love this very rock n roll tee from Tommy Rocket for boys; too cool for school.
