If someone was to ask me to describe a kids designer fashion superstore, all I’d have to do would be point them in the direction of Buckets & Spades – www.bucketsandspades.com.au.

In operation since 1996 in their extremely hip Melbourne-based bricks and mortar stores, and online since 2006, Buckets & Spades is a wonderland of children’s fashion.  The list of brands that Zlata and her team stock surpasses impressive: Fred Bare, Trelise Cooper Kids, Tommy Rocket, Two Belles, Little Horn, Oobi, Ed Hardy, Diesel, BIG by Fiona Scanlan, Hula Girl, Eeeni Meeni Miini Moh and Guess Kids, and footwear from Diesel, Giocattoli, Garvalin, LelliKelly, Agatha Ruiz De La Prada and Bimbi.

But that’s not all that makes Buckets & Spades so fabulous.  The range of sizes goes from 000 all the way up to 14 (parents of hard-to-dress tweens, rejoice!), the sheer number of items instore is astounding and their sales are truly spectacular.

Take the current sale as an example: right now Zlata has done her final markdowns on Summer stock, with up to 70% off 1,000+ items.  OVER ONE THOUSAND ITEMS, people – and at such amazing prices you almost won’t be able to believe your eyes!  It goes without saying that the sale is only while stocks last, and it also goes without saying that at up to 70% off this won’t be very long.

*Sale prices are as marked and quoted in red below.  These prices will only apply while stocks last.

I’m currently rugged up against a very chilly December in the UK, and hearing about my friends and family at home in Australia spending their days at the beach or the park is making me just a touch homesick.  While my kids are wearing umpteen layers just to leave the house, I dream of the days when they can run around in light and casual summer clothes.

To ward off the homesickness, I took myself over to Buckets & Spades – www.bucketsandspades.com.au – to spend some blissful moments surveying their Summer fashion.

Buckets & Spades always has the biggest range of upscale kids fashion around, and when that range consists of brands such as Fred Bare, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh, BIG by Fiona Scanlan, Trelise Cooper Kids, Tommy Rocket & Two Bells, Diesel, Guess and Little Horn it becomes downright irresistable.  Even just looking at everything on offer has made me feel a bit summery, and I wouldn’t be human if a couple of especially irresistable pieces hadn’t found their way into my shopping cart.

What’s even better than all those fantastic brands in one place, is all those fantastic brands in one place marked down by up to 50% off!  Yes my friends, that is precisely what is happening at Buckets & Spades right now; in fact there are over 300 current season items in the sale section all with hefty discounts! Prices are as marked, while stocks last. Buckets & Spades is now on Facebook too, and if you become a Fan before 1 January 2010, you’ll go into the running to WIN a AUD$150 Buckets & Spades gift voucher.

I love it when Zlata at Buckets & Spades – www.bucketsandspades.com.au – throws a sale!

She always goes to town, and today proves the rule: *30%* off selected items from Fred Bare, Eeni Meeni, Guess, Big By Fiona, Fiona, Diesel, Trelise Cooper Kids, Two Belles and Tommy Rocket! HOT! HOT! HOT! This offer lasts only while stocks do, so don’t wait long to pounce!

These brands at those prices mean there’s absolutely no excuse for your kids to run around naked (besides the fact that it’s fun!) Zlata’s enormous range of winter fashion, and this fabulous 30% off sale, means that it’s super-easy to throw stylish outfits together on a budget, as I spent a happy while doing just now.

So what’s missing from your kids’ wardrobes for this winter?  Are they growing out of their jeans?  If so, I love Guess jeans this season: the girls ‘Walking Across London Jeans’ (no. 2 below) are ultra hip, and for boys I can’t go past the ‘Weapon of Sound’ Corduroy Pants (no. 5 below).

Fred Bare is always fantastic for hoodies and  stylish winter coats – I can’t get enough of this season’s swing coats for girls – and I really love the snuggly Eeni Meeni Miini Moh knits.  Eeni Meeni do great jeans too, by the way!

Trelise Cooper Kids is brilliant for adding a bit of glitz and glamour to a little girl’s wardrobe, and BIG by Fiona Scanlan just epitomises the kind of sophistication every little girl wants to have, while still remaining appropriate for a child to wear. Gotta love Trelise and Fiona, they’re both such talented designers!

Buckets & Spades stock the following super-brands: BIG By Fiona Scanlan, Guess for Kids, Diesel, Trelise Cooper Kids, Tommy Rocket, Two Belles, Hula Girl, and Alex and Charli, and footwear from Diesel, Garvalin, Agatha Ruiz De La Prada, Lelli Kelly, Bimbi. Buckets & Spades is also now stocking Oobi Baby and Kids, and the Autumn/Winter 09 range is now in-store.

No links today as B&S is a frames-based site – but the site is really easy to navigate and there is a search function so if you see something you like here, use it!

1. FRED BARE Fred All Over Print Hoodie $79.20 $55.00; FRED BARE Howard Jean $75.90 $55.00; DIESEL Para Troop Parabarny Shoe $135.00
2. DIESEL Siverso Felpa Jacket $129.00 $89.00; GUESS Walking across London Denim Pants w/ Dart, $99.95 $69.00; Lelli Kelly Papavero Mid Boot $99.00

Today, Miki leads us on a stylish jaunt through Europe, with a look at some of the fabulous Euro designer labels available at Aussie online stores. Tres chic, mon amies!

Enjoy the weekend

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

There are two European designers over at Buckets & Spades – www.bucketsandspades.com.au that I want to rave to you about that are almost too lush for words!

The first is Petite Bateau; absolutely adorable and tres French bien sur.

Petit Bateau was started in 1918 by a hosiery manufacturer who cut the feet of a pair of tights and decided that it was now underwear for kids! The brand has come a long way since then, now being the province of celebs and yummy mummies alike seeking classily understated quality for their gorgeous bubs.

The second is Diesel Kids, from Italy, the pinnacle of Euro street-cool. Check out Buckets & Spades’ collection of Diesel Kids shoes as well as their kids’ gear – it’s simply delectable!  I love their funky print tees; they’re fresh and fun and absolutely unique.

Don’t forget that you can get a 10% discount off full-priced items at Buckets & Spades using the Shop 4 Kids discount code*!

No links here as Buckets & Spades is a frames-based site – but use their search engine to track down these items!
Prices below include the 10% Shop4Kids discount.
Petite Bateau Stripe Romper – Pink, $49.95  $44.95
Diesel Tagiacu tee, $59.00  $53.10
Diesel Talbio tee, $69.00  $62.10

Charlipop Kids – www.charlipopkids.com.au – stock a bevy of fab European designers, including Oilily, Room Seven and Absorba.

Oilily, from Holland, is notable for its kaleidoscope of quirky and colourful designs, and has a huge following worldwide because of its uniqueness. Oilily can’t be mistaken for anything else and your kids are guaranteed to stand out from the crowd wearing their clothes.

Room Seven is also Dutch, started when Brechtje Olsthoorn, who had previously made children’s bedding from fabrics sourced in India, started to make children’s clothing from the same fabrics when her daughter was born.  The result is stunning!

Lastly Absorba:  established in France in 1949, Absorba is renown for its attention to detail with delicate embroideries and top quality fabrics.  Your kids will go from cradle to kindergarten in style with this gear!

Charlipop Kids are offering KidStyleFile readers 10% off at their Designer store until 30 September – enter ‘KSF’ at checkout to redeem.

Room Seven Jersey Tee – blue/red/white striped, $36.80  $33.12
Absorba Green Two-Toned Stretchy Teddy Print Top, $38.40  $34.56
Oilily Shame Striped Buttoned Dress With Ruffles, $60.00  $54.00

One of my favourite European designers is carried by Frock You – www.frockyou.com.au. I am talking, of course, about ej sikke sej (pronounced ay sik-kay lay in case you were wondering) from Denmark.

I just love the clean-cut styles of ej sikke lej; I love their adorable iconic owl print, I love their rompers, I love their patterns, I love their hard-wearing 100% cotton fabrics – and yes, there are several of their pieces in my son’s wardrobe including the elk tee pictured below, and yes, of course I got them from Frock You!

I don’t think ej sikke lej can be beaten for wardrobe basics with a Scandanavian flair!

Get a 15% Members-Only discount at Frock You when you subscribe to their newsletter.

Prices shown include the 15% Members-Only discount which comes with subscription to Frock You’s newsletter.
ej sikke lej Big Owl Print Petrol Onesie, $30.00  $25.50
ej sikke lej Strawberry Skirt, $59.00  $50.15
ej sikke lej Elk S/S Tee, $25.00  $21.25

Since we’ve now seen enough European clothing designers to get you inspired, let’s take a look at European room decor and toys.

The obvious place to go is The Infant Boutique – www.theinfantboutique.com.au – as they stock stunning wall art from INKE, aka Inke Heiland, Dutch designer.  Her wallpaper wildlife designs are very hip right now, and each design is only produced in very limited quantities so you can be sure that not every second kid will have the same room decor as your precious pumpkin does.

The Infant Boutique also stock Sirch wooden toys from Bavaria, Germany. Made by a family company (established 1805), each Sirch toy is approved by European safety authorities and is absolutely stunning to look at.  The Sibis Max (pictured below) for example, features soundless heavy-duty rubber wheels which won’t destroy your floors and is made of steam-curved ashwood. Just beautiful!

Buckets and Spades is *the* top end of town: you simply won’t find so many high-end designer brands anywhere else, and certainly not for the scoop deal that we have here. Basically, Zlata is an *angel* and Buckets and Spades is HEAVEN!

Buckets and Spades is always right up to date with what’s hot in kid’s fashion: I just love checking out the latest news on collections at Zlata’s Buckets and Spades blog.

Buckets and Spades have babies from birth and kids up to 12 covered. It’s all here for your shopping pleasure! Boys are as comprehensively catered for as girls at Buckets and Spades: Mums of boys you are gonna *love* it!!

Labels include one of my personal faves, Eeeni Meeni Miini Moh – and I know that many of you are looking for cheap Eeeni: here ’tis! – Fred Bare, GumBoots, Piccolina, Guess For Kids, Petit Bateau, Gant, Kaloo, Alex and Charli, Trelise Cooper Kids, BIG and ‘Fiona’ by Fiona Scanlan, Tommy Rocket, Two Belles and the very finest footwear brands including Diesel, Giocattoli, Garvalin, Agatha Ruiz De La Prada, Lelli Kelly, Bimbi, and Tip Toey Joey (with the discount, this is the cheapest you will find them anywhere!).

It’s usually not easy to find special footwear for your kids, but at Buckets and Spades you’ll be sorted in a flash.

I adore their range of Garvalin and Agatha Ruiz de la Prada shoes with their quirky appliques and sole treads, and the uber-cool Diesel shoes for boys. New season’s stock is in, and last season’s is heavily discounted, so check the shoe sale section for bargains.

Freezing my credit card won’t help me: I know the number by heart!!

Behold, friends, and be prepared to be seriously blown away by literally *thousands* of products to choose from! (Don’t forget to have a browse in the ‘Specials’ section to see lots of fab summer and winter clothing, and shoes on sale and going cheap!)
