Bittersweet.

Ever felt this mixture of emotion?

There is something of this in what I feel about the current season of life with our little girl. At 14 months she is slowly making her move out of baby-land and into toddler-hood.  On the one hand I am urging on this new season, yet on the other I don’t want to close the door on her baby days – she is my last baby after all!

Whatever the season for you today, I bring you an offer from the very lovely Denise at Chic Kids – www.chickids.com.au without any hint of bitterness at all: only sweet!

Denise is extending a very generous offer to all KidStyleFile readers of 20% off store wide – including her entire Delicious Discounts section – PLUS a FREE Wooden Animal Bookmark (while stocks last). How sweet it is to be loved by Denise! Enter code ‘CHICKIDSKSF‘ at checkout to redeem this fab offer until 31 March 2010.

Denise has put all of her mothering prowess (she’s a mum of full-grown triplets and a grand-mama now too!) to work in selecting the fine kids fashion, toys and accessories, plus a few special items for mums, that come together at Chic Kids. And remember you can take off 20% of everything in the store. However, I must pause and mention that the bargains are honestly so good in the Delicious Discounts section of the store, that I have sourced all of my favourite finds for today from this one section of the store: everything pictured below is under $26.00 after applying your KSF discount.

Children have such a special connection with gardens.  I love watching my son wander around our garden – I swear he glows with happiness during the time he spends out there, and I know the same is true of all children.  Then add in the element of magic which children always revel in, and the result is a whole new dimension of wonder and excitement.  This is something that Sally at The Fairy Jardin – www.fairyjardin.com.au – knows very well, given the name she chose for her online boutique (jardin is French for ‘garden’).

The Fairy Jardin is even more magical at the moment because they’re holding a huge end of season sale with up to 75% off brands such as Baobab, Bebe, Koby, Eternal Creation, Gaia Organic Cotton and lots more. Everything in the Last Chance and Summer categories is between 30%-60% off, PLUS KidStyleFile readers receive an extra 10% off everything in the aformentioned categories, meaning the potential discounts come in at up to 85%. *Woah!*  The magic code to enter at checkout is ‘KSFsummer‘ and it expires 19 March 2010.

This discount is only applicable on stock within the Last Chance and Summer categories, and it is not applicable with any other offer.

There some amazing bargains on offer here. I was happy to note that there are some winter items on offer, which is great news as the temperatures start to drop. I also just have to mention the Baobab Green Tuille Skirt (below, #1) which is not only less than half price and would be beloved of any little girl out there, but is also the perfect piece for St Patrick’s Day next week. (Kiss Me, I’m Irish indeed!)

I had fun collating an outfit for my eldest son which is pictured below (nos. 2, 3, & 6).  The MicroClothing Koi tee is eye catching and funky, and the addition of Roll Up Jeans by Freshbaked (such a bargain at over 60% off!) and a sharp little Eternal Creation waistcoat creates the kind of outfit I just love seeing on little boys.

Other pieces that I fell in love with: the simply adorable Ruby Red Audrey Dress by The Emperor’s Laundry, the Kate Quinn Organics Feather Maxi Dress and the super-cool pre-walker shoes by All About Heidi, which are manufactured using a single piece of leather and feature and adjustable tie at the front. Too cool!

Discounted prices below reflect the additional 10% discount (use code ‘KSFsummer’) which expires 19 March 2010.

1. Baobab Green Tuille Skirt, $44.95 $19.95 $17.95

Eternal Creation has long been one of my most coveted brands.  Bright, interesting colours and patterns, beautiful, child friendly shapes, and the most delightful back story.  Who wouldn’t want clothing for their kids that not only looks stunning but is also ethically manufactured in the Himalayas by an expat Aussie?

It’s almost March – the official start of Autumn – and the days are slowly becoming shorter and colder, heralding the start of the new season.

I used to mourn the passing of the warmer seasons, but since I had children I relish each and every moment of the colder months for their unique pleasures. The release of the Autumn/Winter collections are a major thrill to me. It is such a treat to unveil them and take in the interpretations of the season and behold the colours and textures that will carry us through the chilly days, and today I am pleased today to be able to offficially launch the  Autumn/Winter 2010 collection of one of Australia’s most luminous baby and kids designers, Baobab – www.baobab.com.au.

This season Baobab designer Belinda Blooman delivers a standout collection of skirts, tees, hoodies and pants for babies and boys and girls from birth to 10 years (tween Mums, your call has been heard!). Taking her signature cotton jersey fabric, Blooman keeps the cuts classic, while bringing her unique eye to the details – extending the line of the classic grandpa shirt, playing with pockets – a mix of concealed, circular and oversized – and  her use of colour and print, which include bursts of regal purple, fuschia, pale red, lilac, grass green, sky blue and charcoal grey, is once again dynamic and inspiring.

I can’t get enough of Baobab: these pieces make it easy to dress your kids in style and comfort every day, with wash-and-wear sensibility and price points that please – all pieces are between $34-$50.00.

To celebrate the launch of the AW10 collection, Belinda at Baobab is offering KidStyleFile readers FREE shipping Australia-wide on all orders $100+. Enter code ‘KSFPOST‘ in the discount coupon box at the ‘My cart’ section at checkout to redeem this offer until 15 March 2010. Don’t forget to swing by the Baobab sale section, where you can scoop past season’s delights at on sale up to 50% off.

If you’re a regular KidStyleFile reader (a warm welcome if you’re new to the scene; you’ll love it and end up addicted just like the rest of us!!) you be well aware that it’s no secret that brand Baobab – www.baobab.com.au is a favourite for most of the KSF mums. And today I get to throw my two bobs worth in and say “me too, me too!”

So why is it a fav?  I love Baobab for the beautiful simplicity in design because my kids look adorable in it and it’s so wearable.

This summer both my boys have both worn their  Racer Shorts time and time again.  They look funky and so comfortable  that my husband dubbed them their “lounge pants” (though please do tell me if you’ve found a way to get boyish-boys to do any form of lounging!!) These shorts, and matching Racer tees, have well and truly been put to the test and after many park and beach trips, plus the countless hours of backyard antics; I’m please to report they have stood up to the test and still look great.

In celebration of the new year and their new look website, Baobab is on sale up to 50% off, plus the delightful proprietor Belinda, is offering KSF readers a special offer of FREE shipping Australia-wide on all orders over $100. When you are in the ‘My cart’ section at checkout, simply enter code ‘SHIPFREE‘ in the coupon box to redeem your free shipping. This offer is valid until 1 February 2010, while stocks last only.

Best buys for girls are some of the cutest dresses ever! My favourites are the Lilac Bow Dress the Red Raglan Dress and the Pink Tulle Dress. Plus you simply must check out the Tulle Skirt. This little number offers a whole lot of style for the very low sale price of $29.40. If it’s stylish enough for one Miss Cruise, it’s certainly stylish enough for me!

For boys you can’t beat the Racer Shorts and they work well teamed with any of the great print tees.

For babies I love the Kimono Hoodies and the Bodysuits. If you have a baby girl check out the outfit pictured below of the Pink Bodysuit teamed with the Baby Girl Comfy Shorts: sweet huh?!

If you’re still looking for Baobab outfit inspiration, head to the Specials & Sets page for coordinated outfits – plus even more of a discount when you purchase as a set.  The Singlet & Skirt set pictured at A. below is one of these sets – and a steal at only $40.15.

Snap up these sale pieces now while stocks last, and keep your eyes and ears tuned as new season goodies land in February. Yay!

A. Singlet & Skirt set $66.90 now $40.15
B. Lilac Bow Dress $45.95 now $36.70
C. Red Raglan Dress $45.95 now $27.60
D. Pink Tulle Dress $48.95 now $39.20

Gather in close, people, because I have a secret to share.  ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au – is having a huge sale, and we at KSF are among the very first to know about it as it isn’t being advertised to the public for another week.

We have the chance to sneak in early and snap up the best of the bargains, and there are some great ones to be had!  Unlike many other sales, there are great levels of stock too, so as long as you’re quick then you’ll probably even find the exact size you’re after.

If you only hit one sale this season, this is the one.  Trust me on this: ShopHouse sales only happen twice a year, but when they do they’re absolutely spectacular. Check it out:

• Oobi Baby & Kids up to 40% off
• OshKosh 45% off – below cost!
• Baobab 30% off
• moppit 40% off
• Bonds 30% off
• Purebaby up to 30% off
• Cuddlefish 40% off
• Snugglebum up to half price!
• En Gry + Sif 30% off
• Baby Bloch Slippers up to 50% off

Yes, you read that list right: genuine article OshKosh is being discontinued at ShopHouse and so all of it is being sold off incredibly cheaply – below cost price!  This is the cheapest you’ll ever see OshKosh, so take advantage of it pronto.

It’s a happy day today!  Lots is going on – the last of the turkey has *finally* been eaten up, my todder is coming down off his Christmas sugar high, it just so happens to be my birthday (happy birthday to me!) and I’ve discovered 20% off store-wide at Chic Kids – www.chickids.com.au.

Yes indeedy folks, that’s 20% off store-wide, no exceptions! Just enter the code ‘CHICKIDSKSF’, and make sure you get in there before the 7 January 2010 when it expires.  Keep in mind that a fair number of items are already discounted at CK, so this 20% off is additional: you’ll find savings up to 50% off in-store!

Current season fashion includes an amazingly extensive range from the everlastingly popular Bebe and Bebe Jr by Minihaha, along with Baobab, Freshbaked, Marquise and LilSpunk.  Whether your child is a pretty, feminine little princess or a rampaging tomboy, a artiste in the making or an action hero, you’ll be able to find outfits that perfectly encompass his or her personality.  I’m really loving the Bebe at the moment, what a great collection!

Don’t forget that Chic Kids also have a great range of toys and accessories, and no visit to CK would be complete without a dig through the Delicious Discounts category. It’s even better when you know you can take an additional 20% off the already fabulous discounts, bringing everything in there down to around half price.
