Bittersweet.

Ever felt this mixture of emotion?

There is something of this in what I feel about the current season of life with our little girl. At 14 months she is slowly making her move out of baby-land and into toddler-hood.  On the one hand I am urging on this new season, yet on the other I don’t want to close the door on her baby days – she is my last baby after all!

Whatever the season for you today, I bring you an offer from the very lovely Denise at Chic Kids – www.chickids.com.au without any hint of bitterness at all: only sweet!

Denise is extending a very generous offer to all KidStyleFile readers of 20% off store wide – including her entire Delicious Discounts section – PLUS a FREE Wooden Animal Bookmark (while stocks last). How sweet it is to be loved by Denise! Enter code ‘CHICKIDSKSF‘ at checkout to redeem this fab offer until 31 March 2010.

Denise has put all of her mothering prowess (she’s a mum of full-grown triplets and a grand-mama now too!) to work in selecting the fine kids fashion, toys and accessories, plus a few special items for mums, that come together at Chic Kids. And remember you can take off 20% of everything in the store. However, I must pause and mention that the bargains are honestly so good in the Delicious Discounts section of the store, that I have sourced all of my favourite finds for today from this one section of the store: everything pictured below is under $26.00 after applying your KSF discount.

Now all of us have our own special ‘happy places’, and mine is not only calming and joyful but also open to all of you: it’s none other than Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au.

Little Styles is a happy refuge for me because it’s loaded with over 2,000 beautiful and well designed children’s products from 100+ brands, it’s so easy to navigate, and the site is gorgeous to look at.  Plus right now it has a cache of new winter fashion from some of my most smile-inducing brands: Gaia Organic Cotton, Sooki Baby, Marquise, BIG by Fiona, Minti, Woof!, Bebe, Bonds, Munster, Books To Wear and Purebaby – and this is just the start of the winter stock due to arrive over the next few weeks at Little Styles.

The newest Bebe by Minihaha collections look too good to be true – the adorable Leila for girls (the bubble pinnie at #1 below is going to be one of the biggest hits this season) and Charlie for boys with it’s hip, understated monochrome and beige styling.  Gaia Organic Cotton also deserve a big shout out for their new season gorgeousness – I adore the 100% organic cotton velour footed onesies, and their separates are indispensable in my baby’s wardrobe so I can’t wait to stock up.

New toys and decor items are in from Alimrose starting from only $8.95, see a few of my faves below at #5; and pre-orders are now being taken for the hugely popular Vulli Treehouse.  So many of us either owned and loved, or desperately wanted (me!) one of these during their own childhoods that they’re simply flying off the shelves in Australia and supply can’t keep up with demand.  So pre-order your’s – ahem, your child’s – one now to make sure you don’t both miss out!  Email Terri to place your order.

The biggest, hugest, most exciting arrival of the season is of course going to be Oobi, and I can now announce that Little Styles will be stocking the *entire* Oobi A/W10 range!  It’ll launch on Friday 12 March, and Little Styles newsletter subscribers will get the first chance to snap up their favourite pieces. You have been warned so sign up now if you haven’t already; put your email addy in the subscribe box on the Little Styles hompeage. You can see a KSF exclusive preview of the to-die-for Oobi AW10 range here.

Grab some of the new goodies in-store at Little Styles, or scoop bargains up to 60% off in the sale section, with 10% off all orders over $65 for KidStyleFile for three days only until midnight on 10 March 2010. Enter discount code ‘ksfautumn‘ at checkout to redeem. Enjoy!

It’s my first day back after a few weeks of maternity leave (did you miss me? ‘course you did ) and my first stop back just had to be the fantastic Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au.

This incredibly stylish boutique is a firm favourite of mine because of their stunning, easy-to-use site and the divine range of brands they stock.  We’re talking Oobi, Bebe, Woof!, Minti, Marquise, Bonds and lots, LOTS more.  It’s a huge range and has to be seen to be believed!

The new spring arrivals at Little Styles are just stunning.  All the bright, fresh colours, the classic cuts teamed with fun retro prints – I’m looking at you, Oobi! – and pretty florals, and crisp stripes… oooh, I’m just drooling looking at it all!

It’s very, very hard to narrow it down to show you some of my picks, but I do think it’s hard to ignore the adorable Bluebird & Honey pinafore dresses in bold new springtime colours.  These dresses are absolute perfection when it comes to fashion for little girls; they’re sweet and innocent, while still being playful and practical.

I’m also really loving the graphic tees and bodysuits from iconic Kiwi brand Minti.  In their 10th season now, this ‘too cool for pre-school’ brand never fails to impress me.  The ‘Bubble Bear’ tee pictured below is my pick of their current collection, and mums of girls will be glad to know that it also comes in pink.

Terri at Little Styles is kicking up her heels with all the newly arrived beauty and you can too with a store-wide 10% discount at Little Styles for four days only. Finishing at midnight on the 19 September 2009, the code you need to entr at checkout is, appropriately enough, ’springfun’. Spring into Little Styles and get shopping!

If the chilly days and nights of winter are getting you down, I have some news for you which should get your blood pumping:

How about 40% off all winter fashion at Gifts 4 Kidz – www.gifts4kidz.com.au?  I’m quite serious – Sanja at G4K has decided to clear all her winter fashion to make room for the summer gear (due soon), and to that end she’s giving KidStyleFile readers a whopping 40% off all of it!!  We’re talking Minihaha, Bebe, Woof!, Books To Wear, Little Leona, Marquise and more – wowee!  Just enter ‘WINTER’ at checkout to get your mega-discount until 31 August 2009, while stocks last.

There’s a huge amount covered by this sale, so I barely know where to begin, but I’ll start off with the Marquise gift sets because they’re so divine and absolutely perfect for baby showers and new baby gifts – plus, starting at $69.95 $41.97 with the discount, they’re amazingly cheap!

There’s a fab range of sleepwear for babies, boys and girls and even their mums, covered by Books To Wear, Freckles and Posh! Pyjamas.  Everybody loves snuggly new PJs – they’re my ultimate treat to myself – so at these prices you could get the kids some for next winter, plus a pair for the remainder of this one as a special treat.  And while we’re getting special treats, snap yourself up a pair by Posh! Pyjamas – they’re divine. After all, there are a lot of cold nights still to come this year and these PJs are heavily discounted…

Below are some of my winter fashion picks – have a glance for inspiration and then go shopping to find your own favourites, as there’s a huge amount to choose from. Get stocked up for next winter as I don’t think you’ll beat these prices or this range.

8. Serenella Minifuture Melody – White, $29.95 $17.97

Now just before you go charging off to fill your basket at Gifts 4 Kidz, let me tell you about some new arrivals in-store.  Pictured below you’ll see the Le Toy Van Fire Engine and Firefighters Triple Pack – you can also get the Fire Station set to make this a truly amazing play option.

There’s also the adorable dolls cot with bedding, and the six-in-one convertible dolls pram – a combination guaranteed to make any little girl incandescent with happiness.  And for room decor I absolutely love the Djeco Poem Tree wall sticker; its whimsical, quirky style really attracts me.

Brands stocked at Gifts4Kidz include Automoblox, Britt, Bobble Art, Books To Wear, Chippie Bags & Accessories, Christopher Vine Design, Cudworth, Custard Pie, Jacques Farel, Kate Finn, Le Toy Van, Little Beetle, Little Swish, Lovely Chubblies, Tin Lid Designs, Melo Baby, Manhattan Toy Co, Marquise, Milestone Press, Creative Education, Alperstein Designs, Paper Eskimo, Posh!, Missi Missi, Tiger Tribe and Zoe Bonbon.

With my baby due any day now, I’m in the final stages of nesting and getting all the essentials ready to go.  When I discovered a few gaps in the baby’s wardrobe and nursery, I turned to 9 Months Waiting – www.9monthswaiting.com.au – to find what I needed.

Run by the lovely Cathy (who is also pregnant, and has an innate sense of what a modern mum wants for her nursery), 9 Months Waiting specialises in all that is beautiful and practical for babies from birth to 12 months of age, including clothing, accessories and bedding.  With an ever-increasing range of beautiful brands and products, 9MW is one of the best online stores in Australia for a baby’s needs.

New to 9MW this month is Babyjo, an absolutely delectable bamboo fabric range of rompers and blankets with a stylish modern look. There are quite a few bamboo pieces (also look for Lotus Linens) instore now, and if ever you’ve felt bamboo fabric you’ll understand why – it’s so incredibly soft you’ll never want to put baby in anything else!

There are some brilliant options for wrapping babies, including the Miracle Blanket, which is pretty well impossible for even the wriggliest baby to get out of, and has the added bonus of no excessive fabric to bunch or overheat, and no fastenings of any kind to fiddle with at night.

An equally fantastic option is the Ergo Pouch Ergococoon – pop the baby in it, zip it up and you’re done!  This is actually the most popular product on the whole site; Cathy sells so many of them each week that she struggles to keep them in stock, so when you see them available, snap ‘em up fast!

At the moment Cathy is running a huge sale with up to 50% off a huge range of products.  Additionally, she’s offering an extra 10% off store-wide to KidStyleFile readers – just enter ‘KSF10′ before 15 August 2009 when the code expires. That’s a total of up to 60% off store-wide!!

Also, I’ll let you in on a little secret: follow 9 Months Waiting on Twitter to hear about daily spectacular specials of up to 75% selected products.  There’s something new on offer every day, and chances are you’ll never know about it if you don’t see it advertised on Twitter.  Pass it on!

Yahoo! It’s the weekend, and it’s time to kick back, relax, and PLAY! There’s no better place to have a frolic today than Millie’s Playground – www.milliesplayground.com.au.

Millie’s Playground stocks baby and kids fashion, accessories, and toys for babies and kids from birth up to size 4 (soon to be up to size 8: stay tuned!), and can be found in bricks and mortar format nestled in the bucolic surrounds of the Huon Valley in Tasmania, and also now also online, which means the contents of this delightful store are now within reach whereever you may reside. (Don’tcha just *love* that?!!)

Millie’s Playground proprietor Taneall has throughtfully selected a great selection of brands for you: choose from Alluring linens, Annabel Trends, Baby Ka-Boosh, Babykids Australia, Beauty and the Bees, Bobux, Classic Pooh, Giimmo, Humphrey’s Corner, Johnco Productiions, Ka-Boosh, Little Beetle, Marquise, Max and Tilly, Milestone Press, Natures Purest, Ninth Moon, Noo,  Pure Earth, Soon Melbourne, Sugar booger, TTot, Tea Princess, Tiny Minymo, Toyslink and Vanchi.

Hot picks are Tiny Minymo from Denmark, with fantastical prints and colours to zap the grey of winter right out of the picture (stay tuned for Summer 09/10 stock, due by the end of July), Marquise; among the best, most tasteful and affordable baby clothing you’ll find, Nature’s Purest organic toys and linens, an extensive range of Bobux pre-walkers and shoes, maternity fashion from Ninth Moon and Soon Melbourne on clearance, drastically reduced, and Beauty and the Bees skincare for mums and babes, including Botty Butter and Mother-to-be Belly Balm.

On a personal note, I was gifted Beauty and the Bees Belly Balm by a friend when I became pregnant. It’s an all-natural formula, and so I happily massaged my tum with it for my entire pregnancy, as much for the connection it gave me with my babies (twins) as anything, but I didn’t end up with a single stretch mark, so I’d say it’s worth a go for that purpose too!

Wow – just when I thought the Winter sales couldn’t get any better, Joanne at Ekidna Kids – www.ekidnakids.com.au – decided to throw down the gauntlet.

Shop big at Ekidna Kids with 30% – 70% off almost every item of clothing in her store. WOW. There are very few exceptions here*, which means that pretty much the entire store is just one big bargain! The sale is on until 31 July, or until everything sells out, which I bet won’t take long. No code is needed, and prices are as marked. *Sale excludes Baby Aspen, Babylegs and personalised products.

So what sort of goodies can you snap up?  Well how about Books To Wear pyjamas as a delicious ‘just because’ mid-winter gift for the kids?  Everybody loves getting snuggly new jammies, and when they’re so heavily discounted it seems crazy to go past them.  The Books To Wear range have such great designs too!

I also really love the Eternal Creation range and the boho, retro feel that characterises their collections.  This brand has been a KSF favourite right from the get-go, and every time they release a new line I remember why – great quality, unique designs and it’s a ‘feel good’ purchase – don’t you love ethical clothing manufacturers for that warm, fuzzy feeling the clothes bring with them!  The Eternal Creation range is also heavily marked down, so I definitely recommend snapping up as much as your cart can carry – it’s not often seen at prices like this.

There’s plenty of new stock instore at Ekidna Kids too, including the extremely stylish Alannah Rose stationery range, all of which is guaranteed to get your guests’ attention when they receive a beautiful invitation in the mail. The Baby Aspen range is also just divine – how cute is the little Baby MD set?  A doctor friend of mine has just had a baby, and I think this would be a great gift for her.

Have a look at a tiny fraction of the huge discounts on offer:

1. Books To Wear ‘Nocturnal’ Pyjamas, $44.95 $31.46
2. Bebe Blue Denim Dungarees, $44.95 $29.95
3. Books To Wear ‘Little Racing Cars’ Pyjamas, $32.95 $23.05
4. Woof! Stone V-Neck Vest With Argyle, $55.00 $38.94
5. Eternal Creation Darcy Classic Pintuck Shirt, $42.95 $25.95
6. Eternal Creation Aviator Cord Overalls, $56.95 $32.95
7. Marquise Floral Printed Full Skirt Dress, $44.95 $21.95
