Elizabeth at La Toriana – www.latoriana.com.au – has really let the festive season go to her head! I’m not sure whether it’s too much champagne or if she’s just feeling incredibly generous, but she has decided to give readers the most enormous pre-Christmas discount yet.  Are you ready for this?  Are you sure? Are you standing by with your credit card ready to pounce?

Because get this: Elizabeth has decided to mark down all full priced Oobi, Deshabille, BRITT, Miniwhisk, Thurlby Farm, Dolly Up, Huggalugs, Nanny Pickle and Penny Scallan by an extraordinary 35% (excluding sale items already reduced by up to 85%, and Tummy Bear). Use the discount code ‘Rudolph’ at checkout. Alternatively, you can get FREE shipping (with no minimum purchase amount) using the code ‘KSFpost’ at checkout. Both of these offers are valid until 10 December 2009 only, so go wild: they’re the last ones before Christmas!

There’s an awful lot to love at La Toriana at the moment, with some truly stunning labels on showcase.  There are the eternally popular Princess Ratbag pettiskirts, for example, which are adored by little girls all around Australia and fly off the shelves faster than the human eye can track!  And while we’re looking at pretty things for little princesses, take in the exquisite Tea Princess collection, which epitomises vintage chic.

I’m also quite taken by the range of aprons and tea towels by Ogilvie Designs.  High quality cotton and fun, eyecatching designs make these a winner, especially if you have a family BBQ on Christmas or Boxing Day.

If you’re looking for stocking fillers and bargains, make sure you look at the Specials section which is updated every Monday. You have to get in quick, considering that products in there are discounted by up to 85% off, they won’t last long! Cheers to that!

Prices quoted below are valid with code (read above) until 10 December 2009 only.

Breast cancer.  Two words which send shivers down my spine. It’s real. It affects so many Australian women and their families every day. We all know, or know of someone, who it has directly affected, and indirectly it touches us all.

Today is Pink Ribbon Day, the Australian Cancer Council’s major fundraising activity to raise money and awareness for women affected by cancer, and to draw attention to the importance of early detection.

Pastel Pink- www.pastelpink.com.au – is supporting the cause all this week and will donate $1.00 from every order placed until midnight 31 October 2009. By supporting this initiative you’ll also receive 20% off store wide and FREE pink gift! Enter the code ‘KSF-PINK’ at checkout to redeem.

If you’re in need of booties for your little one take special note of the new SKEANIE ‘Love me’ shoes. These shoes were especially designed for the McGrath Foundation, which supports breast care nurses in rural and regional Australia and educates young women to be breast cancer aware, so when your little blossom wears these shoes, not only will she look stunning, but she will be helping others.

All orders that include the SKEANIE Love Me shoes will automatically receive free shipping on the total order until midnight 31 October 2009.

There’s a huge range of fashion, toys, and accessories to choose from for babies, boys and girls, as well as yummy goodies for mums too (jewellery, bags, throws and toiletries) in all the colours of the rainbow, but the colour of the week is most certainly pink so I have prepared a spectrum of shades for your perusal.

Wow! Cheryl at Pastel Pink – www.pastelpink.com.au – has been marking down her stock, and my goodness me has she gone to town on it!

When you take into account the extra 15% off store-wide that you get by joining Club Pink (it’s free!), we’re talking up to 80% off brands like Bebe by Minihaha and Gertie & Me, Three Little Trees, Huggalugs and Alimrose Dolls.  Now do you see why I say WOW?!  Let’s say it again: ***WOW***!!!

Summer stock from Bebe by Minihaha and Three Little Trees has all been marked down by a huge 65%! New season stock from the same brands has been marked down by 20% and 15% respectively, and then you can add your 15% Club Pink discount to that.  You barely even need to get out the credit card at these prices, you could just about send Cheryl the spare change in your pocket!

Huggalugs are reduced by 10% (or more like 25% for Club Pink members), so now is a brilliant time to stock up on these cool weather essentials.  Your kids’ arms and legs will never have felt warmer or looked cooler!

Gertie & Me soft toys – so divine that Princess Mary famously bought the echidna for little Prince Christian – have also been marked down by 20%, and there are a couple of adorable new critters in the collection: Olivia Pig and Isobel Mouse.

There’s also brand spanking new stock from Sooki Baby, Tiny Tribe, Cocoon Couture (have you seen their wall art?) and a new FlatOUT Bear, Rosie, who is pretty in pink.  Too cute!

Now I mentioned Cocoon Couture above and, besides the gorgeous new stock, here’s why: any KidStyleFile reader who purchases a Cocoon Couture beanbag AND either a Cocoon Couture Kinder Bag or a piece of Cocoon Couture Wall Art will also receive a Cocoon Couture Library Bag (rrp $15.00) FREE!  You can even choose from the Enchanted Forest or Jungle designs!  All you have to do is enter ‘KSF’ in the comments box at checkout.  Yippeee!!

Sale prices, and offers, valid until 18 June 2009, or while stocks last.

When I had my children, and witnessed first-hand the purity of a newborn babe, I vowed to respect that natural state of being, and avoid chemicals and artificial nasties as much as humanly possible.

Five years ago I had to search high and low and go to some extremes to get hold of products that cared for my babies without the use of harmful toxins.

Thankfully the days of fruitless searching are now over, with Ankle Biters – www.anklebitersduds.com.au – specialising in eco-friendly, kid-friendly, and socially responsible products all in the one handy online location.

Ankle Biters is run by Tanya Love, a mum of 5 (kudos!!) who is dedicated to making eco-friendly and organic high quality products easily accessible and affordable to parents.

Tanya personally tests products before they are offered for sale in the Ankle Biters store, and if she doesn’t find them extremely useful and/or as great as the marketing jargon states, then she won’t sell it.

Brands that has passed the test include Tiny Tribe, Natracare, Bokashi, Naturalene, Automoblox, Babyhood, BabyJogger, BabyLegs, Bacche, Barefoot Magazine, Carmaje, Clearly Herbal, Coocoose, ECOtanka, ERGObaby, Folkmanis, Flutterbacks, 4myearth, GreenPack, Huggalugs, La Belly Band, Lanowool, Mishi, Moltex, Nature’s Child, O’Bon, Paper-Go-Round, Seventh Generation, Sterimist, TummyTub, The Pop-In!, Wotnot and World Alive.

Ankle Biters has a fantastic range of skin and bath care products for babies and kids (you *must* get some of the Tiny Tribe Bubble Bath – so gentle!), Modern Cloth Nappies that save your dollars, and on landfill, or arguably the best disposable nappies on the planet: Seventh Generation.

Anklebiters is also the best online source for all things Baby Jogger in Australia – customers in the South-Eastern states of Australia can receive their Baby Jogger strollers delivered to their door for free!

I also have to make mention of the beautiful organic cotton tops from Bacche (Edwina has some for her children: read her review here), the in-house handmade Ankle Biters Tutus, and the Flutterbacks – cute hand-dyed singlets with removable wings. At a tiny $16.00 I did a serious double take!!

Keep your eye on the New Products section at Ankle Biters for over 200 pieces of new stock to go up on the site, including a stunning new range of extremely funky Fair Trade nappy and school bags that are going to be available from next week.

Until 16 June 2009, all KidStyleFile readers will receive FREE shipping (within Australia) and a FREE copy of Barefoot Magazine. Enter BarefootKidsStyle in the “VIP/Discount Code” box at checkout to redeem. All customers who place orders that reach over $500.00 automatically receive10% off all future orders placed.

PS If you’re going to Greenfest in Brisbane from 5-7 June this year, be sure to visit the Ankle Biters stand where you’ll be able to Tanya and her crew live in person.

A. Bacche Short-Sleeved Saffron Orange Bengal Tiger print Organic Cotton Tee – $32.95
B. ECOTanka MiniTanka Drink Bottle – $22.50
C. Baby Jogger City Mini Single – $449.00 FREE delivery for shoppers in South-Eastern states of Australia.

I have to admit something: I am not a fan of theme-dressing. Sparkly christmas earrings give me hives; licenced kidswear causes nausea.

So, thinking about ‘Easter Fashion’ I nearly choked on my Creme egg (theme-chocolates I can handle).

Thankfully, I’ve realised you can be cheerfully festive and dressed to impress, without the need for fluffy bunny ears…(though if you can’t resist, try the hip version: Rock Your Baby’s Rabbit knit hat, available at Baby’s Got Style for $29.95. Adorable!)

Nanny Pickle’s Bad Bunny Collection is so cute and cheeky it wins my vote for rabbit-themed clobber. Clobber, though, is a bit harsh, because this collection is made from supersoft bamboo and organic fabrics that are just luscious to touch, and come complete with important life lessons such as “Eat your Crusts” and “Don’t Run With Scissors”. Hehe! You can find the Bad Bunny at La Toriana from $19.95.

Cradlerock have a handy Easter section which includes these funky rabbit tees and hoody by Tiny Mammoth (designed by Beci Orphin of Princess Tina fame). How cool is this unique take on a gorgeous vintage print?!

Quinn Macool’s take on bunny prints is, erm, cool! From the cute retro “I Believe” (aaw!) to the “How To Draw A Bunny” tee, perfect for little artistes, you can personalise everything to your taste and nab a nifty new tee for only $22!

But if the only bunnies you want to see this Easter are of the chocolate variety, you could instead have fun putting together a gorgeous new outfit to celebrate:

Baby: Keep little ones warm and snug with a funky romper from Onesies – you’d be hard pressed to go past the simple and chic prints from Danish label Nanoou ($42, 0-12 months), teamed with this versatile, soft velour hat by Gertie & Me ($9.95) and gorgeous matching booties ($9.95; both available at The Hip Infant) for maximum aw-factor. You could also add a sweet little cardi like this one from Purebaby ($32.47 on sale from Just Ripe) for extra warmth and cuteness!

Little Boys: If Nanna’s going to be at Easter lunch, it might be wise to leave your rock’n'roll tees at home, and go for a timeless piece like this Wonderboy Stripe tee ($39.95, 6m-7Y, from Itty Bitty Yuppy). Work it with some classic denim (Munster Stovey 2 Jeans, $80, sizes 2-10; from Tiny People) and retro cool trainers – Adidas Country Stripe, $59.95, sizes US4-10; from Kido Store). If it’s cool, skip the hoody and go for a smart jacket like the Steve Mac coat from Freshbaked (on sale for $29.95 at BabysGotStyle). Watch out, ladies!

Little Girls: We all know how spoilt for choice little girls are now days when it comes to fashion – it’s hard to narrow down a party frock but this week my pick is Polka’s Black Birdy Frou Dress ($99, sizes 3-7; from BabysGotStyle). Accessorise with a slouchy knitted hat (Toshi, $18.95) and ribbed tights for a nice play on texture (Marquise knit tights, $9.95, both also from BabysGotStyle) - or try printed legwarmers scrunched at the ankle if you’re really cool (Huggalugs, $14.50 on sale from My Baby Rocks). Shoes? Yunginz Classeez ($59.95) are pretty enough for every occassion!

Please check individual stores for postage and delivery details. Always check the KSF All Current Deals page to see if you are eligible for any discount.

There’s so much going on at Pastel Pink – www.pastelpink.com.au – that I barely know where to begin!

There are also hot new Envirosax designs to choose from, new Huggalugs and a new FlatOut Bear due in any minute (it’s pink!)

Now let’s look at what’s on sale, because there is a LOT to choose from!  David Fussenegger blankets are cheap as chips, all heavily discounted, and so gorgeous. I plan to treat myself to one of these very soon!  As blankets they are deliciously soft and warm, and they look so good you’ll never want to put them away.

Also on sale (50% off!!!) is Three Little Trees, to make room for their new winter stock which is due in any day.  I have it on good authority that this is going to be a big season for 3LT, so I’m very keen to see what they’ve come out with!  I know that Cheryl is expecting the new range instore any minute, so I’m keeping my eyes peeled.

I love this time of year.  I know it’s hard to believe given the weather recently, but it’s almost the turn of the season.  Give it another week or two and the deciduous trees will start changing colour, the nights will be growing crisp, and the autumn fashion has already started turning up in the shops.

Online is no different – you can see the seasons changing by the new offerings in-store at places like the divine La Toriana – www.latoriana.com.au – where new arrivals are turning up nearly every day at the moment!

Elizabeth at La T makes a real point of featuring the best of Australia’s and New Zealand’s homegrown designers.  I love to buy Aussie, and Kiwi, made items; it feels great to support local industry and the pieces tend to be of a much higher quality than many of those manufactured overseas.  Elizabeth carefully selects brands she really thinks are worth showcasing, and her taste is impeccable!

One of her latest finds is the beautiful vintage-inspired Tippie Toes, with some sweet little pieces for girls in-store now, and boyswear coming soon. The new season Three Little Trees will also be in-store any day now, as will Tea Princess among others.

If you haven’t already, it’s well worth signing up to the La Toriana newsletter to receive news on the latest arrivals in-store, along with VIP deals, incentives and discounts not available to the public.
