Now all of us have our own special ‘happy places’, and mine is not only calming and joyful but also open to all of you: it’s none other than Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au.

Little Styles is a happy refuge for me because it’s loaded with over 2,000 beautiful and well designed children’s products from 100+ brands, it’s so easy to navigate, and the site is gorgeous to look at.  Plus right now it has a cache of new winter fashion from some of my most smile-inducing brands: Gaia Organic Cotton, Sooki Baby, Marquise, BIG by Fiona, Minti, Woof!, Bebe, Bonds, Munster, Books To Wear and Purebaby – and this is just the start of the winter stock due to arrive over the next few weeks at Little Styles.

The newest Bebe by Minihaha collections look too good to be true – the adorable Leila for girls (the bubble pinnie at #1 below is going to be one of the biggest hits this season) and Charlie for boys with it’s hip, understated monochrome and beige styling.  Gaia Organic Cotton also deserve a big shout out for their new season gorgeousness – I adore the 100% organic cotton velour footed onesies, and their separates are indispensable in my baby’s wardrobe so I can’t wait to stock up.

New toys and decor items are in from Alimrose starting from only $8.95, see a few of my faves below at #5; and pre-orders are now being taken for the hugely popular Vulli Treehouse.  So many of us either owned and loved, or desperately wanted (me!) one of these during their own childhoods that they’re simply flying off the shelves in Australia and supply can’t keep up with demand.  So pre-order your’s – ahem, your child’s – one now to make sure you don’t both miss out!  Email Terri to place your order.

The biggest, hugest, most exciting arrival of the season is of course going to be Oobi, and I can now announce that Little Styles will be stocking the *entire* Oobi A/W10 range!  It’ll launch on Friday 12 March, and Little Styles newsletter subscribers will get the first chance to snap up their favourite pieces. You have been warned so sign up now if you haven’t already; put your email addy in the subscribe box on the Little Styles hompeage. You can see a KSF exclusive preview of the to-die-for Oobi AW10 range here.

Grab some of the new goodies in-store at Little Styles, or scoop bargains up to 60% off in the sale section, with 10% off all orders over $65 for KidStyleFile for three days only until midnight on 10 March 2010. Enter discount code ‘ksfautumn‘ at checkout to redeem. Enjoy!

If you’re looking for a party, I can tell you that it’s happening right now over at Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au.  Every time I visit the store – which is often, it’s a favourite! – something exciting is going on, and there’s always something new for me to fall in love with.

Take right now for example: Winter stock is beginning to arrive, and that always gets me excited – I love winter fashion.  I’m really impressed by Bonds this season; what used to be a good-but-basic brand has really come into its own in recent seasons’ collections and the current Bonds range is hip and happenin’.  Funky prints, great colourways and incredibly comfy fabrics make it a winner in every way, but when buying just remember to go up a size as Bonds gear is traditionally on the small side.

Also new at Little Styles is the iconic Sophie the Giraffe, or Sophie la Girafe as she’s known in her native France.  We have a Sophie in our household and she’s just gorgeous – lovely soft 100% natural rubber, her sweet smile and her happy squeak make her incredibly popular with me and my five month old.  If I’m going out and need something to entertain him, Sophie is the first thing I throw in the nappy bag. Little Styles also stock Sophie’s friends, the Chan Pie Gnon chew toys.  Too cute!

Yet more new arrivals include Skip Hop’s Zoo Packs, the fabulous and colourful Lifefactory WeeGo glass bottles, new Tiger Tribe (see below for TT soft toys, adorable), new Sparkle T, new Alex bath toys, new Hess-Spielzeug baby toys, and loads of top ups of styles that sold out over Christmas.  Terri and her team sure have been busy!

The Little Styles huge summer fashion sale is in full swing, with up to 60% off on top brands, including Oobi, Sooki Baby, Bonds, Big By Fiona, Gaia and Purebaby.  And speaking of discounts, you’ll want to take note of this:  Terri is giving KidStyleFile readers 10% off store-wide, including sale stock, *on all orders $65 (before postage is added).  This offer ends aat midnight 12 February 2010.  Enter the discount code ‘febfun‘ at checkout to redeem. Enjoy!

You can take 10% off the prices below when you spend over $65 in one transaction (before postage), using the code ‘febfun’.  This offer expires midnight 12 February 2010.

The name might be Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au – but believe me when I say that there is nothing little about this end of summer sale. With big discounts on many top brands, including prices slashed by up to 60%, this sale is HUGE and it’s happening right now!

Just about all summer fashion has been discounted by 20%-35%, including BIG by Fiona, Purebaby, Bebe by Minihaha, Sooki Baby, Bonds, Tiny Tribe, Gaia Organic Cotton, Three Little Trees and Minti, and Oobi Baby & Kids is included too…and now that I’ve let you in on that little secret, I just know it’s going to fly out the door, so get yours before it’s all gone!

Little Styles has a huge 2010 planned with new labels, an even greater product range (they already have over 1,800 products from around 90 brands!) and exciting competitions and giveaways.  They’re already getting off to a flying start with new arrivals from Bonds including the gorgeous Lil’ Wonder leggings and tees, and the new Roomies range which are predicted to be the next big thing.  I’m a big fan of Bonds and my kids have loads of their gear, but remember that the sizing is on the small side so always buy a size up from normal.

Strolling through the amazing collection of online boutiques for children is one of my favourite pastimes.  I love to sit with a coffee and some quiet time, to peruse and ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ at my leisure.  Though I must say, as the days tick by, and only 20 (‘eek!’) sleeps until Christmas Day, that leisurely pace has turned into something of a frenzy!  But today dear readers I bring you news of a fantastic offer that is sure to help bring some calm to your Christmas preparations.

You’ll be Rockin’ and a Rollin’ all night long with the funky upbeat threads you can pick up at My Baby Rocks – www.mybabyrocks.com.au -  this holiday season. There’s something to dress all the kids in, accessories galore and if you’re already thinking about the new year – some groovy bags for the new term.

Run Scotty Run is an Australian kids fashion label that kids love. Master R always points out their t-shirts when I’m scanning through the My Baby Rocks pages, and Miss N seems to be drawn to their colours.  I just love the tiered lollipop dress this summer, and I think you will too. The teal trim is delicious, and the thick band makes it just the right amount of grown up. Of course the Secret Agent range for boys is a must, especially with Sherlock Holmes coming once more to the Big Screen.

Bebe by Minihaha is another Australian kids fashion label that makes my heart flutter. The whole range is so sweet! I have always been a huge fan of the fabrics that breathe so well in the summer heat.  Bebe shows that blue can look fabulicious on a girl too, with cute finds such as Woven Peasant dress and Sophie Chambray dress.

New label L’Aurora is one to watch: their pillowcase dresses for girls are stunningly beautiful. Snap them up fast because I predict they’ll be hot property.

Do your kids have Christmas stockings? I can’t remember having them as kids, but of course as a thoroughly sentimental gushing Christmas mummy I have “made” both of my little munchkins one each to hand up for santa. The only problem? What to put in them? My Baby Rocks has that all covered in their Toys and Puzzles area with some great bargains that start at a mere $2.50. With that, I think I have Christmas almost wrapped up!

Mary from My Baby Rocks loves celebrating with a bang, so she has reduced a range of this summer’s stock by up to 40% (and you can nab selected last season’s stock at up to 50% off). What’s more, KSF readers can take a further 10% off store-wide at My Baby Rocks using the code “christmas” at checkout. Don’t slurp back your egg nog yet because there is more: the first 50 sales will receive a FREE novelty Christmas pencil to add to their booty. Be quick, this incredible offer expires on 18 December 2009!
