Today, Miki brings us part two of her special feature on clothing for little girls. See last week’s post for Part 1: Newborn to Three Years

Next week: OobiWatch roundup – Woo!

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

Well, the weekend has rolled around once more, so it’s time to relax, put your feet up and get your credit card out. That’s right: today I bring you girlswear part two, gorgeous, groovalicious gear for girls aged four to seven.

Buckets & Spades

To get the ball rolling, let’s take a look at the MASSIVE sale section, with up to 50% off, at Buckets & Spades www.bucketsandspades.com.au.

I had great trouble singling out items to showcase here, because there’s just too much cool stuff to want to whittle it down at all!

That sale section is HUGE, it’s MASSIVE I tell you! There’s every designer you can possibly think of in there – Fred Bare, Diesel, Guess, Gumboots, Two Belles, Tommy Rocket, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh, BIG by Fiona Scanlan and so on.

You’ll have to dig through the 53 pages of winter specials (that’s not including the summer specials section) yourself to find out who else is in there. Now there’s a challenge for you

So what I’ve done here, just because I was so overwhelmed by all the choice, is just to pick out my favourites of the winter coats. It’s that time of year when everyone wants to be rugging up, and there’s no more stylish way to do it than with one of these pieces of gorgeousness below:

No links because Buckets & Spades is a frames-based site, but the search function works well so use that to hunt down your bargains!

From top left:

Fred Bare cardy with fur collar, style no. 1845 – $88.00 $59.00
Fred Bare pea jacket, style no. 1503 – $108.00 $75.00
Gumboots clover coat, style no. A81367 – $69.95 $49.00
Fred Bare fleece cotton empire jacket, style no. 1617 – $66.00 $45.00
Fred Bare Sherling Jacket, style no. 1513 – $145.20 $79.00
Piccolina cord parka, style no. 1180 $64.95 $45.00

Itty Bitty Yuppy

These guys are just sooooo stylish. I don’t think you could go wrong with *anything* bought from Itty Bitty Yuppy – www.ittybittyyuppy.com.au – as it’s all so chic.

Stockists of some seriously fab designers, Australian and international alike, IBY well deserve their reputation as one of the trendiest places to shop online.

Just have a look at the brands they carry: Abe Jones, Edenstar, Mill & Mia, Finnegan Finn, Zephire Generation, Parisian Ballet, Willow and Finn… I’m not going to tell you all of them so that you have to go over there and see for yourself what else there is. Mean aren’t I!

Itty Bitty Yuppy are currently offering a massive 35% off Australian and International designer clothing. It ends tomorrow, 22 June, so get on over there without delay!

Have a look at some of my favourites:

Moppit Stripe Wrap Dress, $49.95 $32.47
Willow and Finn Ballet Wrap, $69.95
Willow and Finn Knit Dress, $79.95 $51.97

Frock You

The Frock rocks, just no two ways about it!

I am a huge fan of Frock You – www.frockyou.com.au – and I think everyone else should be too. What do I love so much? Well, it could be the funky-yet-practical-and-cool clothes, the super-cheap-and-super-fast delivery ($5 for Express Post!), the great service from Kat (do you read her blog? Subscribe now, it cracks me up every time it hits my inbox) and so on and so forth.

And that’s not even mentioning the great discounts that Kat gives KidStyleFile readers: 20% off storewide with the My Child discount code!

Leave a comment on this post or email Angela if you don’t have a copy of My Child, she’ll give you the code just ‘cos she’s nice!

Are you sold yet? If not, have a look at some of my girlswear picks below:

Prices quoted include the 20% off My Child discount:

American Apparel Kids Zip Fleece Hoody, $44.00 $35.20 I love this range (you can get it for adults as well), the fabric is so soft and stretchy and it holds its shape really well. Great casual basics.
Little Red Too Big For Your Britches dress, $49.95 $39.96
Itch Characters L/S tee, $34.95 $27.96
Moppit Nigella Purple Heart Hoody, $44.95 $35.96
Itch Lion L/S tee, $34.95 $27.95 How adorable is this lion?!

Fairy Kisses

New to the Fairy Kisses – www.fairykisses.com.au – range is Soda Kids.

This line has to be seen to be believed, it’s just exquisite. Delicate and whimsical with vintage overtones and so many thoughtful little details, these are truly beautiful ‘special occasion’ pieces, a necessity for any girl’s wardrobe.

I also love the Kate Quinn organics range; lovely practical dresses for day-to-day wear, and who doesn’t love the feel of organic cotton?

Fairy Kisses also stock a great range of other brands, including GiGi, Kate Quinn Organics, Momiji, Nenuphar London, Piccalilly, Soda Baby, Vintage Kid, Koby and many, many more. I want it all!

Next week: OobiWatch roundup – Woo!

Today’s post is brought to you by the wonderful Miki. Enjoy the bargains over at Kids Gift List, and don’t forget to say ‘hi’ to Monique at Kids Gift List for me! Angela xx

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

You won’t want to miss out on this one, fellow bargain lovers!

Our friends at the uber-fabulous Kids Gift List – www.kidsgiftlist.com.au – have a massive sale – clothes under $25 section, with everything in there marked down by at least 40% and up to 70%!!

You’re going to have to be quick for this sale. Many of these items are very low in stock or could even be the last one left, so waste not a second - head on over!!

Some of the gorgeous designers featured in the under $25 sale include Zacharia Bier, Sudo, Sooki Baby, Edenstar and Cinti Does Vintage.

If you’re still needing that little push over the edge then just look at all of these beautiful products, ALL UNDER $25.00!!!

Now, while we’re on the topic of Kids Gift List, it would take someone with unnatural willpower to refrain from browsing through the rest of their categories.

Although I could cheerfully march you through every single product over there, I’ll contain myself and just show you my favourite-ist category: wall art.

Ohhh do Kids Gift List know what they’re doing when they choose the wall art to stock!

They’ve recently started offering ‘Look At The Wall’ collages, which are handmade from a big selection of different papers (including handmade) and each collage is a little bit unique. They’re different from anything else I’ve seen around the traps, really very well priced and just so cool!

Besides those, I LOVE the quirky-yet-useful Coco Boheme Monkey blackboard sticker – what a great product! Because it’s a sticker you can move it around the place – kitchen, bedroom, playroom, treehouse – without damaging the paint! I want one!

Also don’t forget that Kids Gift List stock the ever-popular (and rightly so) Little Chipipi wall decals, an instant uplift for any kid’s room decor.

Last but not least: don’t forget that you can use the My Child magazine discount code to take 15% off everything at Kids Gift List, except for the $25 and under clothing category. (Hey, that’s already up to 70% off so you’re not losing out there! )

Not near a newsagent? Leave a comment on this post, or email Angela, and she’ll send you the code!

Sometimes it takes a sale, or other incentive, to make me break out and try something new — or be able to afford to try something new! — I discovered Mill & Mia, Edenstar, Collette Dinnigan Enfant, Mini Metalicus and Willow & Finn this way, and I haven’t looked back, buying out of season for the following year to scoop the very best for a whole lot less. (Now I have confidence in these brands I also occasionally knock myself out and buy full price!)
