Newborns are such precious little souls. Among the host of delectable features is their delicate soft-as skin. As a parent you just want them to be comfy and cosy at all times.

It’s not always easy to find practical yet beautiful clothes for them though - who wants to be fiddling with awkward fastenings at 3am or let their baby be irritated by scratchy inner seams?

Luckily for everyone with (or expecting) a newborn, there’s now The Hip Infant Basics Range which is everything you could want, and better yet, it’s genuinely affordable!

Mel at The Hip Infant - www.thehipinfant.com.au - is offering fab KidStyleFile readers special deal: spend over $50.00 on the Basic Range and receive a free matching Teddy Hat (value $14.95), or spend over $100.00 on the Basic Range and receive a free matching long-eared bunny (value $19.95).

Enter KSF-TED for the hat and KSF-BUN for the bunny. Offers end 31 July 2008. View the original post on this offer for more pics and details.

Ok, now that your newborn is clothed it’s time to have some fun in the sale section. There’s so much to choose from in there - a great range of Mill & Mia, Benny Boy, Smirk, Pure Baby, loads from Infancy, Mitty James, Mon Ange, Moppit, Ouch and more.

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:

Up to 70% off selected items, and as an extra special bonus for KidStyleFile readers there’s an extra 5% off store-wide! Do the maths with me - that’s up to 75% off! Also, you have the jump on the sale, as it doesn’t officially start until Monday 16 June!

Enter ‘KSF‘ at checkout to receive an extra 5% off your order. Discount code is valid until 30 June. All other discount codes are suspended during the sale period. (Head straight to the sale section to start shopping.

The Hip Infant has everything from baby slings (check out the fab discounts on Aka Pipik and Peanut Shells) to nursery bedding (discounted David Fusseneger, anyone? Ooh, pick me!!), toys to clothes to decor and wall art, ad infinitum.

Also, check out The Hip Infant’s very own product range, including babygrows: The Hip Infant Basics (so popular, the first shipment has already sold out! Keep your eyes peeled though, more landing soon!), and pre-walker shoes: The Hip Infant Sneakies.

Also, I can’t let the moment pass without mentioning the huge discounts on nappy bags (I’m a wee bit notorious for my nappy bag addiction by now, and The Hip Infant is doing nothing to help me get over it I have to say!).

Anna & Sally Chic nappy bags are down to $89.95 from $129.95 and Fleurville Baby Bags - oh how I love Fleurville! - are reduced by $50.00, bringing them down to $148.00! Those are incredibly good prices.

(See my previous post for full details of brands available at Minifashionista - including Small Paul, by Paul Frank; I love I love! - pricing, more pics, and the general low-down).

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.

The beauty of these shoes lies not just in their stunning design, but how they are made. No Added Sugar shoes are handmade using luxury soft chrome-free leathers, and natural dyes free of heavy metals. These shoes are actually biodegradable! Kind to babies and the environment; that’s smart!

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

Stay tuned for No Added Sugar’s Winter Clothing Range arriving at Minifashionista soon.

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. Bamboo is hypoallergenic, naturally antibacterial and has a soft silky feel and is also the fastest growing plant in the world, making it the most sustainable of all natural fibres. Sweet!

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.

The ‘Pink Stripe’ and ‘Blue Chocolate’ Sling-Tote Nappy Bags pictured above are $199.00 each $169.15 with 15% discount.

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.
