Today Miki brings you a joyous celebration from the inimitable Itty Bitty Yuppy. Happy Housewarming Kim, from all of us

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kim at Itty Bitty Yuppy – www.ittybittyyuppy.com.au – has just made the move to sunny Queensland – beautiful one day and perfect the next, as they say – and she is celebrating the sunshine in style with a fab Housewarming Sale.

There are 35 items at 35% off, 41 items at 50% off, and 15 items at 75% off. Woo hoo!! Choose from Abe Jones, Wonderboy, mill&mia, Moppit, the adorable Parisan Ballets shoes, Willow & Finn, Rock & Rattle, Tiny Tribe and much, much more.

To find all these fabulously and extravagantly discounted items, head directly to the IBY Sale section and spend a while blissfully browsing.

I love the completely cute Tiny Tribe rompers, like this drool-worthy girl’s one at 35% off. The Wonderboy Spidee Tee is hip and a great trans-season buy, especially at 35% off.

Another great pick is the Abe Jones infant tank at 50% off – adorable! ADORABLE, I say! And what about Rock & Rattle at 75% off?!

This sale will end on 31 August, go get a motor on it!

You can also score 15% off new season stock at Itty Bitty Yuppy when using the KidStyleFile Shop 4 Kids discount code*. Have you checked out the just-arrived brands at IBY including such as Polka (Ange just loves this new label), Chase n’ Sky, Tipitipi (have you seen their stunning rompers?), and the hottest baby and toddler swimwear from Cuddlefish.

Speaking of Cuddlefish, I have to say that I think it’s some of the best ‘little’ swimwear I’ve come across (Ange has been using Cuddlefish swimmers on her kids for the last 3 years, and is wrapt. She regularly gets asked if they come in adult sizes people love the look so much!) . The fabric is all 50+UV and the colours and designs are fantastic – fun, bright and age-appropriate. The buoyancy swimsuits have been carefully designed to the Standards Australia AS 1900 guidelines for water safety and I think it’s a nifty design for teaching the youngsters to be comfortable in the water as you can remove the flotation sections one by one.

Without further ado, some of my picks for new arrivals. The picks below are new season’s full-priced pieces, using the Shop4Kids 15% off magazine code. For sale stock visit the IBY Sale section (no further discounts apply to sale stock).

This week I’m having a look around at some of the best US designers in the boutique kidswear market – and of course, where to find them.

The great thing about the current high Aussie dollar against the US dollar is that many Australian retailers have been able to offer their US lines at lower prices – so make the most of it while it lasts!

One word of advice though – US sizes are a bit different from Australian sizes, and tend to run a bit smaller. So if in any doubt always go a size up when choosing.

Itty Bitty Yuppy

Itty Bitty Yuppy – www.ittybittyyuppy.com.au – have a big selection of gorgeous US designers’ lines. Abe Jones is a great one, with a range of tees and some adorable vintage-inspired dresses with sophisticated fabrics. There’s also Eight3One with the cutest little print onesies and tees for the little ones, and Pink Chicken (stunning New York based line) with fabulous prints and frills for little girls. There’s loads of choice for boys too, with Knuckleheads, Wonderboy and Tin Tank.

IBY are having a huge clearout sale at the moment, with prices on selected items discounted by up to 75%! Yes, it’s a great time to shop!

Clockwise from top left:

Abe Jones infant tank, $49.95 $32.47
Knuckleheads ‘Don’t Bug Me’ tee, $29.95
Wonderboy ‘Basketcase’ shirt, $72.55 $47.16
Eight3One ladybug onesie, $32.95 $21.42
Pink Chicken ‘Lola’ dress, $82.45

Bubbafunk

Bubbafunk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – carry two beautiful US-based lines for tiny people. The first is Egg Baby by Susan Lazar, the first post of call for for exquisite hats and booties, plus some really lovely rompers. These are special pieces for special babies and make such wonderful gifts.

Then second is Quilt Baby, who deliver a colourful and contemporary take on some great basics, like bodysuits, wraps and bibs – just gorgeous!

Check out Bubba Funk’s huge clearance sale currently on for some great bargains.

Quilt Baby chocolate burst bib and burp set, $39.95

Chic Kids

One of my favourite organics ranges can be found at Chic Kids – www.chickids.com.au – and that is Sckoon Organics. Based out of Soho in New York, Sckoon Organic products are beautifully soft and comfortable for tiny tots, and look great too!

Chic Kids also stock two fab t-shirt lines, verymeri and yoli-poli, both of which are popular with celebrities’ kids – and when you see how gorgeous they are you’ll understand why!

Check out Chic Kids’ sale items, and join the Chic Kids loyalty club for an extra 10% discount off marked prices: nice!
