I’m shivering my way through an English winter at the moment.  We’ve had record snowfall, a couple of weeks of temperatures never getting out of the minus figures, heavy frosts, fog, you name it.  But all I need to do to virtually feel the sun on my face and a warm breeze in my hair is look at all the beautiful summer collections in Australia’s best online childrenswear boutiques. It never fails to put a smile on my face and always acts as an antidote to homesickness. One of my very favourite online boutiques to banish my winter blues is 5 Little Monkeys – www.5littlemonkeys.com.au.

Ange at 5 Little Monkeys runs the store from her idylic home in Bremer Bay, Western Australia, and she really understands what makes great summer fashion, and 5LM is absolutely packed full of stunning desginer pieces for babies and kids. Try Ouch, Two Belles, Tommy Rocket and Three Little Trees, Miatom, Oobi, Baobab, Wilkie, Nurtured by Nature, x&y threads, Blissy, Wild Things of Noosa, Redsand, Boxdale, run Scotty run, Mon Tresor, Flirty Bird, Baby Legs, Baobab, Aden & Anais, L’il Fraser, Alex & Charli, Hess-Spielzbeug, Keptin-Jr, Rush, Bobble Art, Walnut Melbourne, Holster Sandals, Cocoon Couture, Ikaboo, Kaboosh, Tiger Tribe, Honky Tonk and Gertie & Me on for size!

To crank up the heat a few notches 5 Little Monkeys are running a hot summer sale with up to 50% off store-wide. To reward KSF readers for being so darn cool, Ange at 5 Little Monkeys is giving us all an additional 10% off! That brings the goodness in at up to 60% off!! Use discount code ‘KSFS10′ at checkout to redeem this offer until it finishes at midnight on 31 January 2010.

While you’re throwing cheap-as-chips bargains into your shopping cart, keep an eye out for all the hot new stock arriving at 5LM too.  For example, the Ouch Baby Denim Pinny (no. 11 below) is a new arrival and it’s the perfect trans-seasonal piece for a baby girl.  Wear it as is on hot summer days, and layer it up for cooler weather, it’ll go with absolutely everything. The new T-Bar Sandals in hip metallics from Walnut are hot to trot too, love ‘em! I also love this very rock n roll tee from Tommy Rocket for boys; too cool for school.

The prices below are valid using the code ‘KSF10′ until 31 January 2010.

a. Three Little Trees Butterfly Dress, $55.95 $35.95 less extra 10% = $32.35
b. Baobab Car Stud Tee, $38.95 $29.95 less extra 10% = $26.95

Okay people, we’re a week into December now, and that means it’s crunch time.  Shopping centres are manic, department stores are packed to the gills (and don’t even get me started on the girls who squirt perfume at me as I try to get past them), toy stores are full of frazzled mums and screaming children, and just to get to these places you have to spend 45 minutes vying for a parking space.

No thank you very much!  Instead of putting myself through all that, I’m doing all my shopping online this Christmas and where better to start than the iconic Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au.

BGS have one of the largest and most stylish selections of childrenswear, accessories, toys and gifts online in Australia, which means it’s a perfect place to do your Christmas shopping. At any given time there are always loads of new products to browse through which makes it a wonderful online destination. When you add in the stylish packaging and next day delivery, it’s no wonder the site is so beloved of parents everywhere.

At the moment I’m very taken with the new range of tees from Miatom and Little Horn, with hip options for boys and girls. BIG by Fiona Scanlan also have some pretty summer tops for girls with a striking rosette feature.

I am also impressed with the new range of ‘eating out’ accessories from Oopsie, who have released insulated lunch boxes, bottle holders and a very useful multi bag.  What I particularly like about the Oopsie range is how they’ve taken two prints which tend to be fairly gender specific – vespa scooters and birds – and reversed the colours (red vespas and blue birds, rather than the more typical vice versa), making them unique and stylishly unisex. Inspired!

Now what about Christmas stocking stuffers?  Absolutely sorted here, with Giddy Giddy hair clips, wooden board books, a stylish bib or two, or how about an extremely funky Alex & Charli drink bottle?  Personally I’ve just placed an order for the Alimrose Handsqueeker and Bib, both in the soldier design, for my three month old’s stocking and can’t wait to receive them!

In addition to all the fabulous new stock in store you can scoop up some great bargains at up to 40% off in the Baby’s Got Style Sale warehouse. Click here for reductions for babies, and here for and kids pieces. Also, make absolutely sure you’re signed up to the Baby’s Got Style newsletter, as every week they give away a $200 gift voucher to a lucky subscriber! Wow!

1. Giddy Giddy Hair Clips, $9.95ea
2. Tees: Miatom Guitar Tee, $27.95; Little Horn ‘Donkey Kicks’ Tee, $39.95
3. Oopsie ‘Food On The Go’ Accessories, from $20.95
4. French Bull ‘Monsters’ Dinnerware, from $9.95
5. Wooden Picture Book – Fruit, $4.95
