I was about to say ‘raise your hand if you love stylish kids gear at bargain prices!’. But of course you do; that’s why you read KidStyleFile!  So instead of that I’m going to get straight down to business, because today’s showcased sale is a particularly good one.

I’m talking about The Infant Boutique – www.theinfantboutique.com.au – which has a massive Specials section with a huge range of stock up up to 50% off. Prices are as marked and the sale is only while stocks last. (Hurry, hurry drive the fire truck!)

Loads of exciting new products are arriving instore too.  The SkipHop translucent bottle dryer is a fantastic space-saving idea for a kitchen bench and looks sleek and modern as well, while the Anton’s Lane cot bedding sets are just beautiful.  I love the Forest Play set in blue, which is so sweet and fresh, and genuinely unisex, which is rare.

Wow, so many stunning new products at The Infant Boutique – www.theinfantboutique.com.au!  Vikki has been celebrating the store’s 3rd birthday by going to town on sourcing new products, and I’m loving what she’s come up with.

The first items I just have to mention are the new prints by Miriam Bereson.  Based around some of the more delightful and whimsical animal collective nouns, the prints are striking and modern, and either singly or as a group are perfect for a nursery, child’s bedroom or playroom.  And at only $15.00 each they’re an incredibly cheap and cheerful decorating solution!  See below for ‘A Float of Crocodiles’ and ‘A Memory of Elephants’, but instore you’ll also find flocks of birds, parliaments of owls (who knew?!), and a symphony of colourful animals.

And speaking of whimsical, how about the new toys Vikki has sourced from French brand Ebulobo?  The fuzzy little wolves and bears in this collection are bound to become your child’s favourite new playmates.  I particularly like the Louloup Wolf Play Set, which includes one very greedy wolf and his stomach contents: a pan, a mobile phone, a chicken bell, a pig squeaker and a Little Red Riding Hood. But of course.

Heading back to interiors, and there’s a couple of stellar new bedding collections to look at. The Paper Dolls range from DwellStudio is one of those designs which is just as perfect for a tween girl as it is for a baby – modern and simple, it will grow with your child.  Along with several accessories, it’s available in a cot set and a single bed duvet set.

Also new in bedding is a collection from Copenhagen-based RosenbergCph, which features bold prints and glowing colours.  These sets will make a spectacular feature in your child’s nursery, adding a touch of that über cool Scandavian feel. There are cot sets and bed sets available, along with baby bags and one very groovy hoody.

And while we’re looking at bedding, consider the new wrap from Love Me Baby, the ‘Wrap Me Up’.  It’s the only wrap on the market designed to swaddle the baby with their arms up, the way they naturally sleep, enabling the baby to self-soothe while still remaining comfortably snug.  I think it might be just what my two-month-old Houdini needs!

To celebrate The Infant Boutique’s 3rd Birthday, Vikki, proprietor of TIB, is giving KidStyleFile readers a FREE GIFT with all orders until midnight 2 November 2009.  Enter the code ‘happybirthday’ at checkout to join in the celebration!

Welcome to Part 2 of our ‘Stay Cool’l two-part summer fashion special. Today Kat gets her frock on to check out summer dresses for girls. Have a boy? check out Part 1: Boys Picks to keep your little man cool in the summer sun.

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

Whether you’re 2 or 32, there’s nothing quite like a breezy summer frock for just slipping into when the weather heats up. So, following on from last week’s post about hip buys for little dudes, this week it’s time for some girliness: KSF presents a rundown on the hottest frocks for keeping cool on sweltering summer days!

You may have noticed that here at KSF we rave about a brand called Daily Tea. If you haven’t tried it, I would highly recommend it – they’re beautifully made, the prints are simple and delightful, and they last wash after wash. They should come with a warning though; much like good tea, they are pleasantly addictive! You can browse a large array at Where Did You Get That?, including the Fan Flower Drop Waist Dress (on sale, $22.37), the Flower Dot Dress (on sale, $22.37), and the Floral Tank Dress (on sale, $18.55).

There’s yet even more Daily Tea available at Ele-ahbaant – check out the new season Cherry Blossoms Dress ($37.75) or the super cute vintage inspired Multi Dot Banded Dress ($37.75).

Another couple of my fave labels, Little Leona by Leona Edmiston and Big by Fiona Scanlan also now have online stores, yay! Check out the Sale section at the Leona Edmiston site for huge bargains for yourself and your little princess (who’ll look even more the part in the Talitha Tulle Dress , $79.95, sizes 1-7) and you can also keep tabs on new season stock without battling department store crowds. Also check Appleseed Child for out of this world bargains on Little Leona frocks.

The gorgeous Big by Fiona Scanlan site has all the new stuff as well as some beautiful summer and trans-seasonal frocks (just add tights and a skivvy for winter): I love the very pretty Petal Print Dress ($79.95, sizes 2-8) in the hottest hue of the season, navy, while the cool folk inspired (let’s not go near “foho”) Paisley Print Top ($64.95, sizes 2-8) would have a place in my wardrobe if it came in mummy-sizes!

Kounia-Bella stocks a huge ranges of gorgeous frocks from drool-worthy (yours as well as bub’s) labels such as Collette Dinnigan Enfant, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh, Ouch, Bebe by Minihaha, Tea Princess, Emilie et Rose…get a hanky for excess dribble ’cos they have a 40% off summer sale on…(eew, sorry)…this simple white pinny by Ouch would look great with a bright tee or tank (on sale, $19.61, sizes 1-7),  while at the other end of the scale, the Loletta dress by Collette Dinnigan Enfant ($180, 6-12 months) is a beautiful keepsake for generations of hot summers. Or, for the designer look without the price tag, grab the Bebe Junior by Minihaha White Lace Dress ($24 on sale) for a cute and cool (in every sense) girly look!

Over at Itty Bitty Yuppy, there’s no shortage of beautiful designer looks…at half the price on their bulging sale rack (woohoo!).  The Egg & Avocado June Dress (on sale, $38.97, sizes 2-6) just got added to my cart (I’m a sucker for hot pink, and my daughter is too young to complain about it), while the Freshbaked Summer Dress (on sale, $29.22, 3-6) is the most perfectly summery shade of blue. Mill & Mia fans, rejoice, because there’s 35% off beautiful pieces like the Stripe Tshirt Dresses (on sale, $45.47, sizes 1-6); or if you’re a fan of quirky retro prints, a Pink Chicken frock such as the Sasha Dress (on sale, $53.59, sizes 2-6) is just the ticket.

After something all natural (as opposed to au naturale, the under 5’s globally preferred style of choice)? Mini Eco stocks gorgeous organic garments, including the Lark Retro Baby Dress (on sale, $19, sizes 3m-12m) with it’s vintage print/modern design combo (result: super cute!), and this classic Polka Dot Dress (on sale, $25, sizes 12m-6y). Over at Purebaby you can pick up the organic Racer Back summer dress in Stripe or Gumnut (on sale, $22.46, sizes 000-2), while Pastel Pink stock a nice big range of Gaia Organics – check out the beautiful Prairie Feather Dress (on sale, $24.72, sizes 000-4)  or the pretty Rosebud Dress in pink or white (on sale, $19.98, sizes 000-0).

I could go on for years about frocks actually, but on a final note for today, you simply can’t go past Baobab for gorgeous basics and gorgeous bargains – the Tank Dresses (on sale, $33.60, sizes 1-6) are unbelievably stylish and breezy, in 4 colourways and prints (I’m a fan of the black, it looks truly wicked with a dash of pink accessory!); or the Raglan Striped Dress (on sale, $36.80, sizes 1-6) for some easy beachy-cool!

Please check individual sites for spostage and delivery details.

Wake up, Australia! Appleseed Child – www.appleseedchild.com.au are clearing the decks in grand style with a massive 40% off all clothing from mill&mia, Trelise Cooper Kids, Little Leona, Itch Designs, Tommy Rocket, Two Belles, and all Christmas accessories from Lark Designs.

Little Leona by Leona Edmiston fans will be thrilled to bits by the lovely range Trish at Appleseed Child is carrying, not to mention the Trelise Cooper Kids party frocks. Go for broke on thse, you will not find them cheaper anywhere!

Hands up if you love mill&mia, Trelise Cooper Kids, Little Leona, Lark, Itch Designs and Dumpling Dynasty?  Ooh, I knew that’d get your attention!

Now for the next question: who’d like a whopping 25% off ALL those brands?

Ok ok, before you all deafen me with your response, how about I just give you the info?

Trish at the beautiful Appleseed Child – www.appleseedchild.com.au – is giving KidStyleFile readers a ginormous 25% off store-wide for just three days, so you’re going to have to get your skates on. To receive the discount, just enter ‘Apple-25′ at checkout.

This sale is ON NOW and ends at 9am on Wednesday 26 November, so hurry hurry hurry!  It’s extremely rare to get this kind of discount on these brands!

Now before you go into a buying frenzy, take a few deep, calming breaths and look around at what’s available.

Appleseed Child is a stunning site to look at, it’s super-easy to navigate and best of all, Trish stocks some beautiful boutique brands. She stocks Trelise Cooper Kids, mill&mia, Tommy Rocket, Two Belles, Itch Design, Lark, and Little Leona by Leona Edmiston.

Trelise Cooper Kids is right up there on the world stage, and Trish is expecting a new shipment of Trelise’s brand new High Summer range in-store any day now!  I recommend signing up to the Appleseed Child newsletter so that you receive the word when it’s arrived as it’s guaranteed to sell out extremely quickly (there’s a link to the newsletter just under the little white bird at the top of the ASC page).

Little Leona is also very much in demand, and hardly anywhere stocks it so make the most of it here at ASC, especially at 25% off! I love the innocence of the Little Leona dresses, they’re perfect for little girls.  They make the most of the stunning prints without going overboard on frippery, so she’ll be equally at home at a tea party or up a tree!

Christmas is also in store at ASC, and it’s sweeter than ever with heartwarming Lark knitted ornaments (handmade in Bangladesh) and beautiful Christmas cards printed using vegetable inks on 100% recycled card. Make the most of getting these at great prices, as people will love to receive such thoughtfully created cards – the ornaments make lovely ‘take home’ place settings on a Christmas table too, just tie a name tag to the string.

Here are my picks for the day:
