Today’s post written by Miki

You know what I love best about winter?

It’s not the hot chocolates with marshmallows melting gooily in them. It’s not the chill in the air that puts colour into my cheeks, it’s not the open fires, it’s not even the winter fashions, although I do love all of those things too.

Nope, what I love best about winter is that it always means the End of Financial Year sales begin! And do I have a doozy for you today

he lovely Mel at The Hip Infant - www.thehipinfant.com.au - has just announced their End of Financial Year sale and it’s oh-so-fab:

Up to 70% off selected items, and as an extra special bonus for KidStyleFile readers there’s an extra 5% off store-wide! Do the maths with me - that’s up to 75% off! Also, you have the jump on the sale, as it doesn’t officially start until Monday 16 June!

Enter ‘KSF‘ at checkout to receive an extra 5% off your order. Discount code is valid until 30 June. All other discount codes are suspended during the sale period. (Head straight to the sale section to start shopping.

The Hip Infant stocks over 85 high end brands including AKA Pipik, Albetta, Alex Toys, Alimrose Designs, Anna & Sally, Annabel Trends, Anne Claire Petit, Baby Einstein, Baby Legs, Babylicious, Benny Boy, Bical, BlaBla, Blink Designs, BUD, Built NY, Bump Buddy, Cheeky Monkey, Christmas Ideas, Coco & Eli, Cuddlefish, David Fussenegger, DiddleDumpling, Dirty Laundry, Elodie Details, Eyetribe, Fiesta Crafts, Flensted Mobiles, Fleurville, For Walls, For Windows, French Bull, Gertie and Me, Go_Home JNR, Green To Grow, Haba, Heimess, Hip Stuff, ID Tee, Inch Blue, Infancy, Jazzy Toes, JellyCats, JewelQueen, Kathe Kruse, Keptin Jr, Kid Squidgy, Kiddopotamus, Kipiis, Lima Bean, Limo Basics, Little Chipipi, Little Einsteins, Little Joey, Little Twig, Liz Knits, Milestone Press, Mill & Mia, Mini Glow, Mitty James, Mon Ange, Moppit, Mum To Mum, My Child, Oeuf NYC, OUCH, Peanut Shell, Present Time, Pure Baby, Rockabye Baby, Rondeau Industries, Rush, Sigikid, Simple Gorgeous Storage, Skip HOP, Smirk Kids, Snugglebum, Snugzeez, Teeny Me, The Hip Infant Basics, The Hip Infant Sneakies, Tiger Tribe, Tippy Toes, Toys Pure, Trunki, Vessel, Wall Candy Arts, WalRUs, and Wee Gallery - phew!

In fact, if it’s stylish and to do with kids then I can’t think of much that The Hip Infant doesn’t stock!

The Hip Infant has everything from baby slings (check out the fab discounts on Aka Pipik and Peanut Shells) to nursery bedding (discounted David Fusseneger, anyone? Ooh, pick me!!), toys to clothes to decor and wall art, ad infinitum.

Also, check out The Hip Infant’s very own product range, including babygrows: The Hip Infant Basics (so popular, the first shipment has already sold out! Keep your eyes peeled though, more landing soon!), and pre-walker shoes: The Hip Infant Sneakies.

Also, I can’t let the moment pass without mentioning the huge discounts on nappy bags (I’m a wee bit notorious for my nappy bag addiction by now, and The Hip Infant is doing nothing to help me get over it I have to say!).

Anna & Sally Chic nappy bags are down to $89.95 from $129.95 and Fleurville Baby Bags - oh how I love Fleurville! - are reduced by $50.00, bringing them down to $148.00! Those are incredibly good prices.

Next week: Girlswear for 3-7 years

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

I have an imaginary daughter.

Is that weird? I know of kids who’ve had imaginary friends to talk to, and it isn’t like that; she and I have never had a conversation or anything of the kind.

But I do love to pick out clothes for her!

Even though I wouldn’t swap my little boy for anything, and despite all the funky boyswear on the market these days, I still find myself clucking over something like the Baobab horse print dress or the Mill & Mia denim pinafore. (Hey, I’m only human! Find me the woman who wouldn’t go all dotty over gorgeous bits and pieces like those!!)

Luckily for me, this week I’m indulging my fantasy-daughter-dressing to the max. Here are my pics for girlswear for the threes-and-under:

Ekidna Kids
Let’s start off with the ever-fantabulous Ekidna Kids - www.ekidnakids.com.au.

Stockists of a vast range of the best brands around, like - and keep in mind that this is just the tip of the iceberg - Smirk, Minihaha, Monday’s Child, Koby, Fish Lily and Oobi; Ekidna Kids are truly a shopping mum’s delight. Their stunning range of girlswear made my job of choosing just a few pieces to showcase extreeeemely difficult it must be said!

Ekidna Kids are even more appealing than ever at the moment too: they’re having a store-wide 25% off mega-sale to celebrate their second birthday! So hip hip hurrah for Ekidna Kids, and they certainly are jolly good fellows!

Minihaha Orient top with Sleeve Print, $36.95 $27.71
Eternal Creation Orleans Denim Ribbon Skirt, $41.95 $31.46
Vintage Kid ‘Ruby’ Shift Dress, $69.95 $52.46
Koby Spot/Jaquard Reversible Pinafore $44.95 $33.71 I love that this is reversible - effectively two gorgeous dresses in one!
Minihaha Vintage Long Sleeve Tee with Lace Print, $47.00 $26.96
Minihaha Coco Pants, $54.95 $41.21

ShopHouse
And on to the next gorgeous girlswear retailer: ShopHouse www.shophouse.com.au.

Recently ShopHouse have started stocking Mill & Mia, one of the funkiest Australian designers out there, and they always have a big range of Penny Scallan who I just love. I also love the extremely groovy IDTees, there are loads of designs all personalised with your kid’s name - what a great gift idea, if you can bear to give them away!

I think the best deal at the moment is on the Kee Ka organics range: for a limited time, buy one item and get one free! You can’t do better than that!

Make sure you look at the rest of ShopHouse while you’re there, as their accessories, decor and the like are second to none. I’m especially loving the Cocoon Couture growth charts right now.

Just to make it even more tempting to buy from ShopHouse, they’re currently offering 25% off all winter clothing and FREE Express Post on all orders  for the month of June - so buy up big with those discounts!

You’ll also receive FREE Bubble Bath when you buy any two products from the Bod or Eco.Kid until June 30. View full details here.

Mill & Mia Ruffle Sleeve Dress, $69.95 $52.46
Mill & Mia Newborn Long Sleeve Jumpsuit, $49.95 $37.46
Kee-Ka Organic T-shirt, $32.50 $26.00 AND buy one Kee-Ka item and get one free!
Mill & Mia Denim Knickerbocker, $62.95 $47.21
Penny Scallan Daisy Raincoat, $49.95 $37.46
Mill & Mia Denim Pinafore Dress, $71.95 $53.96 I LOVE this dress!

Baobab
Baobab www.baobab.com.au. Well, you’re guaranteed to know the brand already (who doesn’t? it’s developing cult status these days!), so I hardly need to tell you about the 100% cotton fabric, the beautiful seasonal colours, the distinctive graphic prints or the simply stunning detailing, do I?

But I will anyway, just because I’m such a fan.

Baobab was created by an Australian mum who wanted simple, no-fuss clothing for her daughter that still looked great. She designed her own to those ends, and I think she succeeded!

What’s even better is that Baobab currently have a knock-out sale on: 20% - 50% off a huge range of products! So get in there quick before it all goes, because you can be sure that it won’t be around for long at prices like these!

Dress horse print, now $33.60 save 20%
3/4 Length girls’ pant, now $18.90 save 30%
Peasant skirt scoobie stripe, now $32.95 save 25%
Stud tee cherry print, now $27.95 save 20%
Baby pyjamas set, now $29.55 save 20%
Baby-gro pink dragon print, now $27.95 save 30%

Ten Sticky Fingers
If your daughter is a little bit quirky and likes to stand out from the crowd then make a beeline for Ten Sticky Fingers www.tenstickyfingers.com.au. The designers they stock - Little Brown Mouse, Cinti Does Vintage, The Red Thread et al - are just what she’ll love.

Beautifully made, a little bit cheeky and touchingly whimsical, the products here just don’t get any more gorgeous. I love the Strawberry Meringue beanie by The Red Thread - vintage inspired and really quite exquisite! What a beautiful accessory for a winter wardrobe.

As Angela told us earlier this week, Ten Sticky Fingers are offering a free gift with purchase for KidStyleFile readers! Just enter ‘kidstylefile‘ in the coupon section at checkout and tell Casey whether you’d like a girl’s gift or a boy’s gift. What a great way to sweeten the deal!

Welcome to the weekend! Today we have for you Part 2 of Miki’s ‘Boys Only Adventure’ (you can read Part 1 here). Today’s piece looks at what’s out there and hot for little men 3-7 years, and boy- oh-boy does Mik have a bounty of gorgeous finds for you to enjoy! Without further ado, let’s jump on in!

.…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

I have had so much fun this week prowling through gear for boys aged three to seven. There’s so much cool stuff! Have a look at the goodies I found:

Buckets & Spades
I just have to kick off with Buckets and Spades www.bucketsandspades.com.au.

Do you know, at the time of writing they have twenty-six pages of summer specials? And that doesn’t even include specials on their winter gear or shoes!

A lot of it is for girls, but there are some real gems in there for the guys, mostly at 40% off or more so you’ll be rewarded for sifting through. I’m talking about brands like Gant, Diesel, Guess, Fred Bare… the list goes on and I don’t have room to do them all justice, so you’ll just have to go and look for yourself. I’ve pulled out a couple of items to show you, but I’m barely scratching the surface!

La Toriana
I adore the Eternal Creation range at La Toriana www.latoriana.com.au. Not only are the clothes stunning, but the business is family owned, ethically produced, based in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas and committed to improving the lives of local Tibetan and Indian communities - so not only do you get to buy gorgeous clothes at great prices for your son, you get to feel good about it too!

If I was forced to pick just one other item to showcase from La T (which is pretty darn difficult, let me tell you, as it’s all so beautiful), it would have to be the exquisite vintage-inspired Lazybones Sleepwear - just check out the picture of the Bobby Blue PJs below: says it all, really!

You can take another 15% off La T’s fab prices AND get a free gift using the discount code in My Child magazine! Amazing!!

Ah, I do love ShopHouse - ShopHouse - www.shophouse.com.au - Bronwyn always has lots of great new products coming in, with fab offers on them to boot.

(Her customer service is stunningly good too: I hear often from you guys that you heart the ‘House )

Latest news is that ShopHouse have recently started stocking Moltex Nappies.

Bronwyn is Mum to 3 cherubs, so she knows the drill on bottom-changes, and you just can’t beat a Mum’s endorsement of a product. Bronwyn switched to Moltex for her own babes about 12 months ago, and hasn’t looked back.

Bronwyn tells me:

“These nappies are brilliant. The quality is as good as You-Know-Who’s regarding absorbency, and I found that Moltex Nappies actually last the night time distance even better. They are environmentally friendly, to: they are unbleached, contain biodegradable material, and are 100% chlorine free: better for bottoms and the planet. “

Bronwyn believes in caring for little one’s skin from top to bottom, so when you buy your Moltex Nappies, you’ll also receive a complimentary tube of WotNot Sunscreen (30+ SPF), valued at $21.95! Wotnot contains certified organic ingredients, and is self preserving: no artificial preservatives here! Safe for use on babies to grown-ups. This offer is available while stocks last.

On the fashion front, ShopHouse are now stocking one of my all-time-fave Aussie labels mill&mia.

This season’s collection is to die for; I’m digging red, blue and stripes, and they’ve got it all, projecting it all with a sense of fun and oh-so-much style!

We live in mill&mia long-sleeved tees: they stand up to the harshest treatment (paint, mud, parks, food, daily wear and tear and ruthless soaking and tumble-drying) and come up smiling. The prints survive all this too!

The cotton elastane blends means that the fit is great, and it doesn’t go all saggy and stretched.

The quality of mill&mia is just superb, and it’s all Aussie designed and made.

I just LOVE mill&mia - can you tell

ShopHouse are offering KSF readers free delivery on entire orders that contain at least one piece from the Mill & Mia range, for the month of May. Enter the promo code ‘KSFMillMia’ to get free delivery.

Hey, that means if you buy just one piece of mill&mia you can load up your cart big time ‘cos postage on the whole order will be free!!

Not that you need reminding, I’m sure, but Mother’s Day is getting closer and closer every day.

Get FREE postage on this luxe Bod Mother’s Day Gift Pack $49.95, and bliss out on Sunday. Nothing like a like home-spa treatment to make a Mamas day!

Lastly, but not definitely not leastly, ShopHouse have just replenished their Penny Scallan stock, and we get to snap it up 15% off!

Lots of yummmy Penny Scallan bags, hats, smocks, lunch bags to choose from.
