If you want kids gear from top Australian and international designers at truly tiny prices (of course you do!) pay very close attention to what I am about to tell you.

Pass ‘Go’ and head straight to Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au.  Go there now -  * now*!  And when you get there, load your shopping cart full of anything and everything summer by ABCD Industrie, 3 Pommes, Catimini, Chalk n Cheese, Kandy Crew, Minihaha, Zephire Generation, Moppit, Tiny Mammoth and Woof! by Minihaha, and enter the code ‘KSF50‘ at checkout to slash a  massive *50% off* all full priced items by these brands!

FIFTY PERCENT! *Faints*

This deal runs only until 31 January 2010, and excludes sale items.  It pretty much goes without saying that you’re going to have to be extreeeeemely quick as these pieces will vanish before your very eyes at these prices!

I’ve already added my absolute favourite piece to my cart, this 3 Pommes shirt.  I also have my eye on the Big Scary Monster tee by Moppit, and these Zephire Generation denim shorts are the epitomy of vintage summer cool.  And who could ever go past Woof! when talking about boyswear? As a mum of boys it has to be said that often when searching through stores the boyswear departments are lacking.  Not here at Bubba Funk though, as there’s loads for stylish little men – thank you, thank you Mariana!

For little girls I love the hippie-chic Catimini range, full of bright colours and beaded accents, and 3 Pommes has a lovely vintage inspired collection.  Chalk n Cheese also does some beautiful girly dresses, tops and skirts, and Kandy Krew is exclusively gorgeous girlswear.

So much choice! Such tiny prices! What are you waiting for?!

Christmas just isn’t Christmas without a little shoe shopping! I mean what an excuse: there’s a bunch of Christmas parties to go to, Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas lunch….all these opportunities for a new outfit which will, of course, be calling for a pair of matching shoes. Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – is just the place for a shoe stop, (or an out and out kids fashion blitz!).

I am excited to see Czarque in the shoe rack at Bubba Funk. Proudly Australian made and handcrafted, these stylish little 100% leather shoes in faux snake skin, cow print, suede – take your pick – would surely give Carrie Bradshaw moment for pause. Before you decide which pair to purchase, have a quick look at the Samvara ballet slippers, Walnut, SKEANIE and other great kids fashion footwear at Bubba Funk – you’re really spoilt for choice!

Boys are no way pushed aside at Bubba Funk, with an enormous range of boys fashion up for the taking and ready for your summer holidays. I always have my eye out for some cheeky tops for Master R, and Bubba Funk doesn’t disappoint with some great examples from Moppit and Tiny Mammoth for starters. I’m rather taken by the Zephire Generation Blue Skies Denim Shorts: the funky pockets at the front are so cool!

Bubba Funk is also a mums Mecca, with an extensive range of Lucie Trinco’s iI Tutto bags always in store. Lucie was head designer at Oroton before launching iI Tutto, and she knows her stuff – a fact well known amongst yummy mummies and celebrities alike (name check Cate Blanchett). My hint: be quick – these beauties sell out so quickly at Bubba Funk with everyone rushing there to snatch them up each time they’re mentioned here on KSF. Maybe now’s the time to take advantage of Christmas and provide your partner with a few helpful hints about the perfect gift??

Mariana from Bubba Funk is a KSF Christmas Angel this holiday season, slashing a whopping 20% off store wide (including sale stock reduced by up to 70% off: yup, you can snatch up some goodies for up to 90% off with your KSF code!!) and offering free gift wrapping right up to 25 December 2009. Just use the code ‘kids20′ at checkout and do a happy dance: you’re super smart and you’ve saved a bundle!

Prices quoted below are valid with code (read above) until 25 December 2009 only.

1.  Moppit Skull T-Shirt $39.95 less 20% = $31.95

What are your kids going to wear on Christmas Day?  I don’t know about you, but I love picking out lovely new outfits for mine each year. (Granted they’re probably too young to care what they’re wearing, but it certainly makes me happy to see them so beautifully dressed!)

This year, I didn’t have anything in particular in mind… until I heard about the massive pre-Christmas fashion sale at Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au.

Snuggling into a lush, cosy knit is one of the simple joys of Winter. Ok, so the weather report tonight saw all capital cities hitting the mid-20’s, but it’s definitely the time of year to snap up a cardi or two, rub the soft, soft fabric against your cheek (surely we all do this?!) and store it carefully til the mercury drops.

1). Handmade is no longer the domain of the daggy; no siree, it is in fact now the epitome of hip. If your Nanna can’t knit, find another who can – Etsy is choc full of other people’s handmade goodness, and many sellers will take personalised orders. It’s a fast ticket to instant playground cred!

GrannysKnits is a hit with celebs, with these funky Letter Sweaters (US$50) in high demand. HandKnitHugs have gorgeous, simple knits like this Stripe button through cardi (US$36), while I was enchanted by the gorgeous blue of EveldasNeverland soft kimono cardi (US$32). Too cute!

2). Minihaha got a mention last week in our Coats special, but this week again I’m going to point you in the direction of kounia-bella for beautiful knits for boys and girls. Is there anything cuter than a preppy Argyle Vest ($49.50, Bebe Jnr by Minihaha) on a little man? And possibly the prettiest cardi of the season, the Trixie Lollipop cardigan by Minihaha ($74) is a soft angora blend and perfect for princesses in pink.

3). ShopHouse have all Oobi’s must-have knits, including the ever so cute Cable Knit Cardi ($64.95; grey, white or red) and the playfully vintage Nanna’s Strawberry Knit Cardi ($44.95). Love the strawberry buttons! If you haven’t had an Oobi knit with their adorable little bear ears on the hood, I strongly suggest it. Everyone you meet will stop and admire your cute-as-a-button child.

4). Purebaby has always featured strongly in my daughter’s wardrobe, and even though she’s nearly outgrown the size 2’s *sob* I’m determined to squeeze every last organic drop out of the pieces we have. Yes, that has meant knitted pinnys in summer, but with bare legs and sandals, it looks rather cute. (And also like I haven’t washed any of her sundresses…)

This season, the Knitted Vest ($54.95) is on my (wish)list, while the single button Knitted Cardigan ($54.95) is a super cool new spin on an old classic. Little boys can rug up in their own Knitted Vest with a cool front pocket ($44.95) or slip on a funky Knitted Jumper ($49.95). Yes, it has a pig on it. They’ll love it.

5). Let’s face it, Europeans do winter to a T. If a bit of Euro-style is what your child’s wardrobe wants, head to Charlipop Kids for a great range of brands including 3 Pommes, Alphabet, Krickets and Oilily.

For just $34.45, this glam grey cardi by Krickets is so girly and chic, while  I’ve just gone and had a bit of a coo over the cute deisgns by Alphabet, including the Les Petite Parisiennes Black Knit cardi ($39). Little boys won’t mind that you put them in a beige cardi when the see the cute teddy bear patch (Alphabet, $29) and they can even rock the uber-chic Apres look with this funky Krickets Baffin Isle Hooded Knit ($35). Even Nanna would approve of this one.

6). Little indulgence for girly girls now – Tea Princess, readily available at La Toriana, is quickly gaining a huge following, and it’s easily to see why. Whimsical, vintage styles are made thoroughly modern, and completely adorable, in a beautiful range of knits, frocks and accessories. A little crochet cardigan for newborns is such a classic piece you’ll want to keep forever ($35.96 on sale); while the Pink Vintage Cardi ($54.95, available April) is so wonderfully girly and just right for tea parties.

7). Emperor’s Laundry is a range I came across at a trade show last year. The designs are simple, unique and have a real old-world charm about them. The Bamboo Cotton Knits ($45) come in pink, red, or green and are so lush and soft (oh, and they look pretty darn cool too!) They also do gorgeous knit dresses and charming hair accessories; and though none of these come with an addiction warning, consider this a stern hint…

Please check individual stores for postage and delivery information.

Another hidden gem uncovered, Lille and Luca – www.lilleluca.com.au – are having a great 50% off sale on Edenstar, Bamboletta, Eternal Creation, Confetti, Laranjinha, 3 Pommes, Elodie and Elvis, and Kenzo Kids. (They also stock a good range of Tip Toey Joey shoes, but they aren’t currently on sale; hang in there!)
