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

Technically, winter begins on June 1. That’s not far away now!  Are you all prepared?  Do your kids have all the lovely wintery things they’ll need?  Because if not (or even if you’re like me and they technically do but you figure there’s no such thing as too much!) then you need to visit 5 Little Monkeys – www.5littlemonkeys.com.au – as soon as possible.

Why the rush?  Well first of all, Ange at 5LM is holding a start-of-winter sale with up to 30% off a huge range of current season winter fashion, including Ouch, Tommy Rocket & Two Belles, Baobab, Miatom and Run Scotty Run.

What makes the rush even greater is the fact that Ange is giving KidStyleFile readers an extra 15% off! This means you can take around 45% off many current season pieces, and that’s an amazing offer!  And additionally, Ange will give a FREE surprise gift to everyone who places an order over $100 excluding postage!! Just enter ‘KIDS’ at checkout until 12 June 2009 to redeem.

So what are you going to snap up for your little darlings?  Personally, given my kiddie shoe fetish, I always go straight to the shoe section and here I’m in luck: Ange has just received a new shipment of shoes from WALNUT Melbourne in the gorgeous new season styles and colours!  I’m a huge fan of Walnut – not only are their shoes great quality, they look fantastic, last for ages and don’t break the bank.  What’s not to love?

There has also been a new shipment of Three Little Trees, just gorgeous.  And I can never go past Miatom for graphic tees and hoodies; their designs are always so eye-catching and so much fun!  My current fave is the Caravans Long Sleeve Tee, so excuse me now while I run off to add that to my cart before you all rush in and buy them out!

These prices are after the KSF reader additional 15% off discount has been applied. Use the code ‘KIDS’ to redeem until 12 June 2009.

It’s extraordinarily difficult to pin down what I love best about Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au.

Is it the amazingly fantastic range of kids’ fashion that they stock?  The website which is a dream to navigate? The super-fast delivery? The kick-ass sale warehouse? Or is it the frequency with which they update their stock, meaning that there’s always something hot and new to look at?

Honestly, I don’t know which to pick out of that list apart from *all* of the above

Let’s start with the fab new stock currently arriving at BGS, because frankly I think it’s one of the best collections online of all my favourite kidswear brands.

First up let’s look at Ouch. I love their take on fresh, funky streetwear for kids – it’s hip but extremely wearable, and take my word on it, tough as nails.  This season graphic tees are very much in evidence, along with feminine blouses and waffle grandpa tees (these will be a hit with both sexes). I also really like the Ouch skivvies.  Much maligned in the past few years, the humble skivvy has been given a makeover by Ouch and the result is great!  With a ruffle neckline, they look good enough to wear anywhere, and come in four fab colourways (black, hot pink, pale pink and white).

Hint: put a skivvy under a summer top or dress to instantly make it a funky winter outfit. Layers are always hip, and this is a practical way of getting more use out of summer items which haven’t been outgrown yet.

Also new in store are ranges from Pure Baby, Rock Your Baby (check out their ADORABLE knit hats below!), Baobab, Marquise and über hip NZ brand Minti. I have already run out of room for describing these brands’ many and varied virtues to you, so you’re going to have to click on all the links that I’ve helpfully provided and check ‘em out for yourselves.  I promise it’s worth it, but you already knew that anyway!

Last thing I want to mention is the Alimrose Design Competition. It goes like this: submit your own original design for a new Alimrose soft toy, and get the chance to see your toy put into production, receive the very first five pieces of the toy produced plus another $500 worth of Alimrose goodies! Woo! Find out more about this comp here, and make sure your entries are submitted by March 31.

a) Children Of The Revolution ‘Long Way To The Shop’ Tee, $33.95 (I had to include this as it just cracked me up!)
b) Pure Baby Blue Whale PJ set, $39.95
c) Pure Baby Grey Dragonfly Print Onesie, $29.95
d) Miatom Apple T-Dress, $29.95
e) Rock Your Baby Party Skirt – Cherry Bomb, $39.95
f) Ouch Peacock Ruffle Tee – Slate, $24.95
g) Ouch Gather Neck Skivvy – Hot Pink, $24.95
h) Rock Your Baby Pixie Knit Hat – Green, $29.95
i) Ouch Racoon Tee – Sky Blue, $24.95
j) Baobab Seahorse Envelope Tee, $32.95
