Now listen up people, because I have big news and I’m only going to say it once: The Hip Infant’s – www.thehipinfant.com.au – End Of Financial Year sale begins on Monday 15 June, where there will be 20% off store-wide, including sale stock! “Great!”, I hear you say “But I have to wait until *Monday*???”

Ok, I’ll knock off the tease: of course you don’t!! KSF readers are shopping royalty, and Mel at The Hip Infant is opening her sale early for us, with three days of pre-sale shopping all to ourselves!!! YES!!!

Use the code ‘KSF-SALETIME’ at checkout from now until 22 June 2009 to score a juicy 20% discount on everything at The Hip Infant. This is a genuine once a year sale – if you wait for another discount like this you’ll be waiting 12 months, so get out that credit card and hurry on in!

Ever since I first discovered the magical world of online shopping for babies and kids, I’ve been a fan of The Hip Infant – www.thehipinfant.com.au. So given my infatuation with the store, it was only natural that when I found out that I was pregnant with my second baby I did my big ’setting up the nursery’ shop at The Hip Infant.

Mel, who runs the show, is a mum of four and a former neonatal nurse, so she really knows what she’s on about and it shows in the selection of products she chooses to stock. Whether you want clothing for your tot, decor or bedding for the nursery, toys or accessories, you are guaranteed to find it here.  What I love about THI is that Mel stocks just as much for boys as she does for girls – yay for equality!

Not only that, but Mel designs a couple of ranges of her own: if you don’t own any Coco & Eli or The Hip Infant Basics yet, I’d like to know why not!  I bought the Coco & Eli Cot Bedding Set in Blue Buttermilk Birds (no. 1 below) for my bub, and it is divine: deliciously soft 100% cotton jersey fabric, the colour is just the right mix of sweetly soothing and childishly playful, and how sweet are the little birds?  You can also get baby clothing and wraps in the same print – I recommend the wraps; I bought some of them too and they’re an excellent size. Any mum knows that there’s nothing worse than a too-small wrap.

This sale also marks the biggest discount I have ever seen on the coveted Tip Toey Joey pre-walker shoes. Lap it up! Also pick yourself up a new, limited edition, Tipu Tiger Trunki at 20% off – fabulous!

Have a look at the image collage below to get some idea of the vast range available at The Hip Infant, and check out the massive list of brands stocked at the bottom of this post.  And happy shopping!  Remember, it’ll be another year before this discount rolls around again…

Following on from my recent post on the stunning range of locally designed baby bags in our midst, I bring you the cream of overseas designers. From the affordable to the POA-only, there’s something luxe for every taste.

Missoni

Missoni is a very cool brand with a very serious price tag. I am not sure many of us could justify almost $1,300 for a nappy bag but hey, it’s nice to look! Plus it is a nice looking bag, particularly if you are a fan of Missoni’s innovative use of colours and patterns. The bag includes a change mat and could easily be converted to a weekend bag once your nappy carrying days are over.

Missoni baby bags are available at Childrensalon.

Baby Beatrix

Dante Beatrix New York dedicates themselves to creating cool, practical ways to transport gear for mums, dads and kids. Their Baby Beatrix tote is a lovely looking bag which comes in pewter metallic and grey/khaki and includes a very nice looking change mat and pouch. The tote is available from Queenbee

BabyMel London

BabyMel London are relatively new on the baby bag scene, launching their first collection in 2007. The bags contain changemats, bottle holders and come in a variety of colours and shapes. Baby Mel have just designed a limited edition for that fabulous UK fashion chain Topshop.

Luckily we can get them locally at Haggus and Stookles.

Ramalama

In addition to making lovely baby carriers, Ramalama also designs some very nice looking nappy bags. In addition to being highly functional, the bags are very classical and made from fine Italian leather.

Ramalama baby bags are available from Urban Baby.

Mia Bossi

On their website Mia Bossi state that their bags combine fashion with motherhood, creating the ultimate hot mama: these bags really are perfect for hot mamas everywhere! If you’re looking for an incognito bag, you would be hard pressed to spot these designs as nappy carriers, particularly the ‘Alisa’ in zebra.

Mia Bossi bags are available from MetroMum.

Fleurville

The Fleurville totes are handy in that they can be carried 3 ways – as a tote, as a messenger bag or attached to a stroller using an ingenious o-ring. The totes look good, are made of eco-friendly materials, and are incredibly practical, with a whole range of features including the usual bottle holder/change mat but also a changing cloth and see through wipes case.

Fleurville totes are available from The Hip Infant.

(Editors note: Fleurville also make the coolest range of bags for kids. Buy them at Kinder Kaboodle).

Hammitt Collection

I found this one recommended on the Vogue forums (thoroughly recommend if you like chatting all things fashion!). The ‘Suzy’ by Hammitt is one cool looking bag available in an incredible range of colours, from basic black to a very bright looking green. The bag includes a matching change mat.

Available online through Hammitt Bags.

Tod’s

One of my favourite sites, Celebrity Baby Blog, has come out with the proclamation that Tod’s new bag is a must have for new mums, and who am I to argue? (Well my bank balance might!! Tod’s bags are POA!) Unfortunately Tod’s bags are not readily available in Australia and I was unable to find the bag online. So if you have a friend overseas and you ask them really nicely, they might just visit a Tod’s store and buy one for you.

Available in-store only at Tod’s.

1. Diaper Dude Camouflage Dude Bag $128.95 – Check web for stockists
   
2. Missoni Nappy Bag £577.40 (approximately $1,300) from Childrensalon
3. Baby Beatrix Tote $194.95 – Check web for stockists
4. BabyMel Amanda Nappy Bag $109.95 from Haggus and Stookles
5. Ramalama Hannah Nappy Bag $450 from Urban Baby
6. Mia Bossi Alisa Nappy Bag in Gold Zebra $560 from MetroMum
7. Fleurville Sling Tote Gold $198 from The Hip Infant
8. Suzy by Hammitt $US550 (approximately $830) from Hammitt Bags

You know what I love best about winter?

It’s not the hot chocolates with marshmallows melting gooily in them. It’s not the chill in the air that puts colour into my cheeks, it’s not the open fires, it’s not even the winter fashions, although I do love all of those things too.

Nope, what I love best about winter is that it always means the End of Financial Year sales begin! And do I have a doozy for you today

he lovely Mel at The Hip Infant – www.thehipinfant.com.au – has just announced their End of Financial Year sale and it’s oh-so-fab:

New products, just in from London, and exclusive to Minifashionista, are the No Added Sugar bio-degradable Shoes, and from the US, Egg by Susan Lazar, and Fleurville Nappy Bags.

Minifashionista has been exclusively stocking the No-Added Sugar clothing range, to the joy of appreciative shoppers, for the last year. Minifashionista are now also exclusive Australian stockists of the super-hot No Added Sugar Shoes.

Available in pre-walker sizes 6-12 mths, and toddler 12-18 mths, for $43.95 a pair – $37.35 with 15% discount

The Egg by Susan Lazar range is comprised of cable knit layettes, blankets, hats, and booties. The range also includes a bamboo co-ordinates line.

Fleurville Sling-Tote Nappy Bags, new to the Australian market, are synonymous with style and functionality. They can be carried 3 ways: over the shoulder as a tote, as a messenger bag, or attached to your pram/stroller. They are laid out impeccably and with pragmatism; with lots of pockets, a changing cloth, a see through wipe case, an insulated bottle holder and more.

Fleurville is environmentally aware and active, and Fleurville products are created with Fleurville’s revolutionary polyurethane laminate Green-LAM™. Green-LAM™ has superior attributes like moisture–repellency, UV-resistance, and overall durability, and is non-toxic, unlike PVC, which is more commonly used for applications such as these.

Also, keep your eyes peeled for BENK hand knitted hats from the Netherlands, coming very soon exclusively to Minifashionista. Way cool!

Shannon at Minifashionista has a very neat blog — the Fashionista Blog – www.fashionistablog.wordpress.com. Oh, she makes me laugh! And she has excellent excellent taste.

I’m loving the vid she’s put together to showcase the Minifashionista Winter 2008 ranges. View the video here.
