The seasonal change brings with it an awesome display of vibrant colour as our trees transform their leaves from green to brown and slowly lose their leaves ready for the winter that approaches. Nature is replicated in some of our favourite stores such as Paperartzi Boutique – www.paperartziboutique.com.au, where the cool and breezy summer stock is being replaced by snugly autumn/winter ranges, making now the perfect time to sweep up some bargains.

Earlier this week, I made my way to the local shopping centre full of enthusiasm for a full day of searching out the bargains. I remained calm for the 30 minutes it took me to find a car space; I continued to breathe regularly as I queued for a change room in one of the little boutique stores. It wasn’t until Miss N had an almighty explosion, just when I was in sight of the register, that I admitted defeat.

Heading home, I concluded what I already know: shopping is best done from my comfy leather couch at home with my laptop in my lap. Not only is it a better experience, the prices are better too!

A case in point is My Mini Moda’s – www.myminimoda.com.au – summer clearance sale, which Erin at MMM will be starting for the general populus shortly, but which she is optioning to KSF readers early. All summer/spring clothing in store at My Mini Moda has been reduced by 20%, and until 31 January 2010, KidStyleFile readers can double their savings with an *additional* 20% off with the code ‘KSF CLEARANCE’. Enter it at checkout to be doubly pleased with yourself!

One of the must have pieces for every little girls wardrobe is her very own pettiskirt. My Mini Moda stock the Princess Ratbag range, all of which are bound to have your little butterfly twirling around and around. My Miss N loves her pettiskirt, and I appreciate its versatility. It’s one of those pieces that will even look magic with a pair of gumboots!

Earlier this month I promised to cover boys fashion pieces as often as I can so that Master R’s wardrobe could balance with Miss N’s.  My Mini Moda are helping me keep that promise with a rich assortment of boys labels including Woof!, Tommy Rocket, and the Bebe range. Throughout my pregnancy with Master R I craved pistachio ice-cream, so I am quite taken by the Woof Pistachio Stripe Tee which I think will go perfectly with the Tommy Rocket Pocket Rocket Denim Shorts

My Mini Moda stock premium designer kids fashion from brand luminaries including Bebe by Minihaha, Bebe Junior, Cheeky Little Soles, Chino Kids, Deux Par Deux, Elodie and Elvis, Girly Girl Bowtique, Marquise, Books to Wear, mill&mia, Millie Melisse,  Minihaha, Noukies, Princess Ratbag, Tommy Rocket, Two Belles, Walnut, Woof!, and Willow and Finn. Dig in!

Discounted prices below are appicable with code only (read above) until 31 January 2010.

1. Willow & Finn Manon Dress Was $119.95 NOW = $76.76
2. Willow & Finn Chloe Dress Was $119.95 NOW = $76.76

I consider myself the ultimate bargain stalker. I always have my eyes out for precious goodies at fabulous prices, and it takes a lot to take me by surprise. A good sale will quickly draw my attention, but rarely will it consume me to the point that I find myself in a frenzy adding item after item to my shopping cart, like the current Tiny Threads – www.tinythreads.com.au – sale has.

This a HUGE sale – a GIGANTIC sale -  from TT, who specialise in designer overstocks, end of lines and samples at great everyday discount prices are now clearing the decks with 50%-80% off everything, while stocks last!!

The soul sister of Tommy Rocket, Two Belles has just as many bargains: dresses, shorts and tops all perfect for the summer. Don’t worry, I’ve already added a few of these to my cart for Miss N. (Is your heart fluttering yet??)

Looking for shoes? Don’t wait for the Boxing Day sales with Cheeky Little Soles up to 50% off. These shoes are the perfect pre-walker for your toddling tot. They are leather soft soled, sure to protect bubs little feet without hindering their first steps.  Want more? Well keep reading….

A local brand designed by Sally McDonald and Micah Handorf of Stussy and PAM fame, Rittenhouse is bringing hip back to comfortable Kids fashion pieces. This brand often grabs the attention with their well designed simplistic pieces which will have your child lounging away in comfort.  The whole range is reduced by 50%.

I’m nearly hyperventilating….these bargains are so hot, hot, hot!  Check out the Cocoon Couture beanbags a steal at just $59.00 each (how cheap is that??!! They’re usually $99 each!), the Munster range with up to 80% off, Mamapapa with up to 75%, and up to 80% in the Tiny Threads Clearance Store.

Don’t you just love the great feeling you get from a new haircut, a new shade of lipstick or a new dress?  Often a makeover is a wonderful thing, giving us a fresh start and making what was already good even better.

Today I apply that principle to the store formerly known as Just Ripe.  Already a KidStyleFile favourite, Just Ripe have just had a makeover and have emerged from the chrysalis as the beautiful new Three Little Owls – www.threelittleowls.com.au!

All the best bits of Just Ripe have stayed: stylish and easy-to-navigate site design, flat rate shipping of $7.50 Australia-wide (and FREE for orders over $150), and the huge range of top labels on offer.  But the new Three Little Owls is set to head towards 2010 with even more style than ever!

To start with, there’s been a huge new shipment of Alimrose.  I think Alimrose is just gorgeous: vintage-inspired clothing, accessories and toys, and Three Little Owls stocks a massive range of it.  I absolutely adore the baby booties pictured at no. 8 below – could anything be sweeter?

New season Eternal Creation is also out in force, with loads of bright, cheerful and happy-looking clothes and accessories for babies and kids.  The great thing about Eternal Creation is that the clothes don’t just look happy – they create happiness by being manufactured completely ethically, way up in the Himalayas.  There’s a win/win if ever I heard one!

Perhaps the most exciting new brand in store is Mama Mio, the ‘it’ brand for maternity and postnatal skincare.  There are three products, variously targeting stretchmarks and saggy boobs – let’s face it, we all have to deal with them at some point! – and given that celebrities including Christy Turlington, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Lopez (she a mum of twins no less!) rave about its virtues, it’s a pretty safe bet for getting rid of those battle scars.  Given that my body is still recovering from having a baby two months ago, I can’t wait to give it a go.

To celebrate the new makeover, Three Little Owls are offering KidStyleFile readers 15% off store-wide until 17 November 2009. To score your discount, just enter ‘KSF15′ when prompted at checkout, and yes you can use this on sale items too!  Get your Christmas shopping done early and avoid the December rush.

The prices below are valid until 17 November 2009 using the code ‘KSF15′.

1. Alimrose Bib – Elephant Dark Blue, $15.95 $13.55
2. Eternal Creation Boys Overall – Red, $52.95 $45.00

Happy Monday indeed: I have just discovered the delightful Button Baby – www.buttonbaby.com.au - online shop and have fallen hard for this beautiful store.

I am thrilled to discover that Button baby stock the Vulli Chan Teether! Now most regular KSF readers would be very familiar with Vulli’s Sophie the Giraffe. Chan Pie Gnon, which comes from the French word ‘champignon’ which means mushroom, is an adorably mushroom shaped soft chew toy.  Like Sophie, all three in the series (Chan, Pie and Gnon) are made from 100% natural rubber derived from the sap of the Heyea Tree. Chan has a nub on the top of his had which is great for teething babies to chew and nibble on. Isn’t he just unique?? A great stocking filler if you ask me! Yep, added to my list!

I also fell in love with the Ada Cot Quilt. I know, I know…Christmas means hot weather. But as I am currently decorating Miss N’s room for her transfer to a ‘big bed’ I find the idea of this 100% cotton patchwork quilt just perfect for the end of her bed.  I’m thinking it’s also a great ‘new arrival’ gift!.

I grew up in Spa Country, Victoria. So I am elated to see Lark products on Button Baby’s site. The gorgeous Lark knit cookies take me back to my own childhood and I am positive they will be received well by a trio of nieces I have who are right into role-playing.  Both soft and washable, these will last beyond one or two tea parties.

Until midnight Monday 16 November 2009 you can take 15% off storewide (*not including specials and postage). Enter code ‘KSF11′ at checkout to redeem. PS If you’re looking for great summer PJs, check out Huckleberry Lane at Button Baby – they’re 25% off!
