There’s nothing like a makeover to give you a new lease on life, and that’s true for websites just as much as it is people.  Mel and the team at Whimsy Child – www.whimsychild.com.au – have just launched their newly re-designed site and it’s fantastic – so easy to navigate, so fresh and stylish and so full of all their wonderful stock!

Speaking of stock, I have to highlight some gorgeous new products that caught my eye.  Firstly, make sure you have a look at the new retro-inspired lunch boxes from So Young Mother. These lunchboxes are PVC and phthalate-free, feature a coated linen exterior (which wipes clean!) while the interior is fully insulated to keep food hot or cold for hours. They are so funky that they might make you want to return to school yourself! I’d also suggest checking out Glug – currently spring/summer is in stock and if you like it then grab it now as it sold out well before summer ever arrived last year.  I love the Monkey Tee!

And make sure you allow time for a good dig through the expansive sale section as the bargains there are well worth grabbing.  Brands like Daily Tea, Coco & Ginger, Shampoodle and Glug are marked down by up to 45%!  When you combine that with the Whimsy Child Rewards Points system it’s really extremely good value.

For a limited time you can get FREE SHIPPING on your order! No minimum spend and no code is needed, just select the relevant option when you checkout.

The prices below are valid only while stocks last.

1. Hoof Twista Toggle – Pink, $36.95 $25.00

Whimsy Child – www.whimsychild.com.au – is everything an online children’s boutique should be: it’s beautiful to look at, it’s easy to navigate, and best of all it’s absolutely packed full of wonderful products!  I’ve been happily browsing through and finding all sorts of lovely things from clothing to kids accessories to shoes and all sorts of lovely toys and activities too.

For me the shoe department gets a special mention as Whimsy Child stock New Zealand brand Hoof, which I am a big fan off. These shoes are hardwearing but soft on the inside with wonderfully flexible soles, and they’re very well priced.  My eldest son had several pairs of Hoof shoes including the extremely cute Tootsie Sandal, and now his younger brother is wearing them!

You’ll also find some brilliant bargains at Whimsy Child right now, including up to 40% off current season Summer stock, and up to 70% off last season Winter/last ones left including Purebaby, Tommy Rocket and Two Belles – this is fantastic buying here, folks, you don’t see prices like this very often on these premium Aussie brands! The bargains get even better when you take this into account: FREE postage Australia-wide on all orders over $50+.  Use the code KSF-POST at checkout to redeem only until 31 January 2011.

PS Earn cash rewards to spend in-store with the new Whimsy Child rewards system.  For every $1 spent you’ll receive 1 point, and each point is worth 10c of store credit!  It adds up very quickly, so keep that in mind when you’re filling up your shopping cart.

Boots feature a lot in my childhood memories. From the navy gumboots with red soles (there were limited styles and colours back then) to the 10-up cherry Doc Martens that I blew my entire first pay cheque on, there was always a pair in my cupboard. Boots are, to me anyway, a winter staple.  They provide protection from the elements and can jazz up a winter outfit.

These days, boots are available in a wealth of colour and sizes. Ankle or knee high; rubber, vinyl or leather; patterned or block coloured – the choices are endless.

Whether they are bought to prevent wet feet whilst dodging puddles during a frantic dash from the car to a the shops; to pretty up a skirt; for running around it the back yard or just for comfort, they may as well be stylish! Discover a collection of some of the latest boots for babies and kids this winter below.
