When I reported on the launch of online boutique Soda Pop Kids - www.sodapopkids.com.au a couple of months ago, many of you headed over and promptly feel in love with this fabulous store. And rightly so: Andrea at Soda Pop kids has searched the web to bring together a feast of the best independent labels for baby and kids clothes from birth to 4 years, many of which can’t be found anywhere else, complementing these with a selection of well-known quality labels.

Who am I talking about? Well, feast your eyes on: A Little Lark, Abe Jones, Three Fish Shop (formerly Babai Alainn), BabySoy, Baby Legs, Bask Home, Billie Shoes, Bella Tunno, Belle & Boo, Black Eyed Susie, Bluebird & Honey, Bobishi, Cocoon Couture, Cushie Tushies, Dine N Doodle, Frank & Me, Gracious May, Isabell’s Umbrella, Jack & Jane, Kunkle Baby, Little Chirpy Bird, Little Daisy Designs, Milk Lush, MintiMoo, Moppit, Mountain Aven Baby, My Little Seat, O’Danny’s Girl, Ohme-Ohmi, Pedro Sprout, Oliver and the King, Quilt Baby, Raggidy Rag Dolls, Scandeez, Sooki Baby, Snoffs, Scummies, Sweetbeets, The Pat-A-Cake Baby, The Whimsy Patch, Three Little Trees, Twiglet, Violet & Rose, and Wasabi Kids.

There are also some new labels instore at Soda Pop Kids, notably 5 Plus 1, Little Choopie and Monstar Kids.

5 Plus 1 presents the most exquisitely crafted reversible matinee jackets for little girls - the choice of fabrics is stunning, as is the detail. 5 Plus One also make skirts and gorgeous pinafore dresses in the sweetest designs you ever did see. This label is a real standout: definitely one to keep your eye on!

Little Choopie produce a cute range of (very very affordable!) fabric covered hair ties and slides in retro-styled designs and contemporary patterns. I love the gift tin sets.

Monstar Kids are an Aussie label who have been on the scene since 1996. Their current collection has really turned my head: loving the robot tee for boys and the flower print dresses for girls, and the incredible lace doily print pants - you’ve got to see them!!

Ok, know you’re up to date with the Soda Pop Kids scene it’s time to shop, and there’s even more of an incentive to do so: Andrea at Soda Pop Kids has marked almost everything down on-site already, and she is returning our love for her store with a 20% discount store-wide for KidStyleFile readers. Can you believe that??!! It’s TRUE - just enter ‘KSF’ at the discount coupon section at checkout to redeem until 31 July 2009.

Check my hot picks below: I am just loving the MintiMoo shoes - they start at a measly $16.00 with discount - yup $16.00 - this seriously cheap for leather shoes!! Also, if you’re looking to pick up Bluebird and Honey, Cocoon Couture, Three Little Trees, and Itch Design clothing for you little Master or Miss don’t miss this opportunity!

I brought you news of the new ERGObaby Carrier ‘Sport’ model landing in Australia recently, and now I have even more fab news on this new edition babywearing icon:

Babes in Arms - www.babesinarms.com.au - are offering KidStyleFile readers 15% off the ERGObaby Carrier ‘Sport’, PLUS Free Express Postage (rrp $12.40) PLUS a FREE pair of unisex BabyLegs (rrp $16.50) until 10 July 2009.

To redeem this offer phone 1300 725 276 (between 9am-5pm weekdays) to place your order, and mention the KidStyleFile to automatically receive your 15% off discount, FREE postage and FREE Babylegs.

Offering multi-carry (back, front or hip) functionality to Mums and Dads for babies from birth (with optional insert) to pre-school age, the ergonomic design of the ERGObaby Carrier supports a correct sitting position for baby’s physical development and eliminates compression on baby’s spine. ERGObaby Carriers also have a long lifespan, catering for your offspring up to 18kgs, and offering continued support when a baby sling or front carrier is no longer comfortable, and being lighter, and more secure, than a hard-frame baby backpack.

The ERGObaby ‘Sport’ features a detachable sleeping hood, a split at the back for better ventilation, and a 65% cotton/35% polyester blend fabric which effectively wicks moisture away, making it cooler than the standard 100% cotton carrier, and over 20% lighter.

The new ERGObaby Sport was also designed for larger people in mind, especially tall dads who sometimes had a hard time fitting into the regular carrier. In comparison with the standard carrier, the shoulder straps are 4″ longer and the waist belt is 5″ longer as well as being slightly wider.

The ERGObaby Carrier ‘Sport’ model retails for $165.00 - $10.00 less than it’s original model counterpart.

Today I’d like you to meet a couple of new litle friends of mine. They’re small, smart, fashion savvy, with an appreciation for the slightly off-beat; meet the Raspberry Rascals - www.raspberryrascals.com.au.

Rasberry Rascals head rascal, Di Lechner, has gathered together some of the finest brands from Australia - Chalk n Cheese, Polka, Tiny Mammoth and Morgan Wills - and the US: Lucy Sykes,  Kit + Lili, Jolie + Jane, Pink Chicken and Monkey Toes, to create a dynamic collection of products that will delight you.

All baby and kids fashion pieces are currently on sale at up to 40% off, but KSF VIPs (that’s you!) get to take a further 10% off already reduced prices, bringing the savings in at up to 50% off. YOWZA! Enter ‘KSF10′ at checkout to redeem this further discount. In addition, when you place an order and join the Raspberry Rascals newsletter, you’ll automatically go into the draw to win a $150.00 Raspberry Rascals Gift Voucher. The 10% discount code ends, and the competition entries close on 10 July 2009, so get in while the getting is good.

As to what to buy, well frankly it’s more of a case of what *not* to buy!

For boys I highly recommend the Kit + Lili tees (whack a long-sleeved tee underneath for winter warmth), the Polka ‘9 Lives Jean’ and ‘Hero’ jumper, and Chalk n Cheese hoodie (cashmere: yum!)

For girls, go for bold sophistication with Kit + Lili ‘Molly’ leggings, ‘Field of Flowers’ top (again, add a long-sleeved tee for winter warmth - remove again when it comes time for the sun to shine again) with the divine Chalk n Cheese Choc Dots coat for warmth. Top (or should I say, toe!) it off with Monkeytoes Mary Janes, a fave of Suri Cruise no less.

For little baby boys and girls you can’t go past the fab selection of block print Kit + Lili rompers and onesies - just stunning!

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!

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.
** Babes in Arms will choose a pair of unisex BabyLegs for you from the Standard ($16.50 range). Free choice is not available on this offer.

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.

As if the low everyday prices at 9 Months Waiting weren’t enough to tempt you, Cathy at 9 Months Waiting is giving KSF readers a very generous 20% off store-wide (yes, includes products already marked down!!) until 27 June 2009.

End of financial year madness continues, and today the spotlight falls on that eternal KidStyleFile favourite, Where Did You Get That? - www.wheredidyougetthat.com.au.

It’d had better be a big spotlight though, because this is a BIG offer: 30% off all new season’s fashion!!

Yes indeedy folks, you can take 30% off current season Two Belles, Tommy Rocket, Daily Tea, Tea Collection and lots more - so get your credit card out and snap up those pieces you’ve been eyeing off while they’re still available in the right size!  The code is ‘SNAPTHAT’ (enter it at the Redeem Discount Coupon section at checkout) and it expires at midnight on the 23rd of June.

While you’re at WDYGT? going happily fashion-mad, don’t forget to have a look at Craft section.  After all, school holidays are very rapidly approaching, and at this time of year the last thing you need is a succession of rainy days with the children stuck inside and nothing for them to do.  WDYGT? stock a fabulous range of craft kits guaranteed to get the kids interested.  And when I say ‘the kids’, I include the boys in that too - what boy do you know who could resist the Djeco Stained Glass Dragon kit (no. 7 below) or the Djeco Knights Create-A-Story kit (no. 8)?

I also love the puzzles in Toys & Games.  The ‘Abracadabra’ Puzzle by Djeco (no. 2) puts me in mind of a Miro painting, and the cubes puzzles in the category are great for little people.  There’s hours and hours of fun for the kids to be found in this store, so do yourself a favour and make sure you’re stocked up for the coming break.

If you haven’t already, make sure you allocate a decent amount of time for browsing through the Summer Sale and Clearance sections.  You can snap up some fantastic bargains in there, including 50% off a huge range of summer stock! Look at Morgan & Milo shoes too, they’re marked down generously so take advantage of the fact to snap up this exclusive brand.
