It is the first day of autumn and in some parts of Australia the heavens have opened. Grey skies are overhead and it is time to think about the shorter days ahead, and grab some new special pieces for the changing seasons. This autumn the subdued hues of the season are grey marle, moss, burnt  orange, mid blue, cinnamon and sage. The new season stock is in stores so pick up the best pieces now for the coming cooler weather.

You’ll be smiling ear to ear when you see what Australian design label Munster – www.munsterkids.com.au  have come up with for their AW 2012 seasonal collection. This label avoids the traditional cute animal, bulldozers and ballerina embellishments and prints and provides an alternative, ultra-hip selection of bold graphics and designs to funk up your kidlet’s wardrobe. Adorned by the offspring of Elle McPherson and Sarah Murdoch among others, this label oozes street cred and happening style all in one.  Better still, each and every piece is truly wearable and practical.

Long sleeve tees are a winter wardrobe staple, and Munster have a bevy of options to kit out your kidlet this season. From Lil’ Rocker with it’s rock on finger, to Munster Skeletor (do you think there’s a He-man fan at Munster HQ?) – it’s going to be a challenge deciding! Bright denim jeans are back this year and you can source either the Barney in bright blue, the Rocker in a chilli tone or the Hipside in mauve to funk up the bottom half of your kidlet. Need something a little more subdued? Slip the Evil jeans into your kidlet’s wardrobe and pair it with the Table Top Rev Hoodie for a casual, hip look.

Munsterkids T4T, continues to be an initiative that Munster is driving, aiming to help the kids in orphanages throughout Vietnam and Cambodia. Each season the label commissions an artist to design a number of graphic tees and proceeds from the sale of these garments go towards providing books, bikes and other essentials for orphans in these countries. Look out for their latest offerings to support this initiative.

You can source Munster, Mini Munster and Missie Munster from a range of stockists including Little Pinwheel, Cradle Rock, Baby’s Got Style, About A Boy and Little Styles, or see here for a full list of stockists.

It’s well and truly back to school time now, and if you’re still looking to grab some last minute bits and pieces, you’ll want to check out the range at Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au. Terri has been stocking the shelves with all sorts of delightful goodies bound to get the kids enthused about the first day back, and for me the real standout brand is British design brand Rex. Vintage-inspired and incredibly sweet, the Rex range features woodland creatures and delicate colours, and it’s all remarkably affordable too.

Also of note at Little Styles is the arrival of brand new Winter 2012 Bebe by Minihaha! Always hotly anticipated, this beautiful brand for babies and toddlers has surpassed itself this time with two new lines for winter; Amber for girls and Leo for boys.  Amber features a delicate floral print in pinks and blues with pintucking and shirring on several items.  Leo’s dusty blue birdie print is complemented by stripes and soft knitted accessories. The Bebe ranges are always so perfect for gifting, and these new releases are no exception – I’m racking my brains to think of babies being born this winter for whom I might be able to buy some of these pieces; any excuse to buy them and cluck over them for a while!

But here’s the biggest news: Little Style’s sale section is currently packed (and I do mean packed, I got to well over 400 pieces before I lost count) with absolutely amazing bargains on some of summer’s hottest items!  I’m talking up to 60% off brands like Oobi, Bebe, Munster, Sooki, Purebaby and many, many more.  But just to make it even more exciting, KidStyleFile readers can take an *extra* 20% off sale items for one week only!  You’ll need to enter the code further20 at checkout to get your extra discount, and do it before Sunday 5th February as that’s when the deal closes. 

Little Style’s virtual shelves will be filling with 2012 autumn/winter stock in the coming weeks, so check back regularly. In the meantime, get ready to enjoy some peace and quiet as the kids head back to school!

Ten Little Indians – www.tenlittleindians.com.au, is filled with chic and stylish clothes, fab gift ideas and party needs – it is truly an online shopping haven for serious shopping mammas who are time poor, geographically challenged or just like to shop in the comfort of their own home at a time that suits them (like me)!

Ten Little Indians is stocked with labels that have serious fashion cred so it is difficult to choose my faves, but I do heart Munster, and Ten Little Indians does not disappoint with their offerings from this cool Aussie label. Normally when shopping I find a top then look for a bottom to suit, but these fun Munster Blurred Shorts are just so awesome that I found myself looking for a tee to match them and the Munster Munster Tee works perfectly – ummm, who says boys clothes aren’t cool? For girls I love the Missie Munster Sungazing Dress, I like the fact that it has little sleeves too, as it will work through Autumn as well. Another fun Aussie label I am loving is Littlehorn; their bright colours really bring out the fun of summer. I have my eye keenly narrowed on the Littlehorn Pass the Parcel Dress, the blue and white stripes are so sweet and again I think it will work well through the coming months, even paired with simple white leggings on cooler days.

Right now Ten Little Indians is offering lovely KidStyleFile readers a special offer: FREE next day delivery. To access free postage enter code KSFpost at checkout before midnight 12 January 2012, and remember to finalise your order before 12pm for next day delivery. There is no minimum spend, so I advise that you check out the Ten Little Indians sale category where you can access savings of up to 62% off the RRP. Plus, Ten Little Indians will wrap a maximum of any two items in your order FREE for you – woot!
