I have no idea where to begin today.  I’m reeling, I’m speechless, I’m feeling dizzy and faint and I’ll warn you now, I’m going to be writing in lots of italics and capitals today, such is the strength of my feelings.

Why?

Bronwyn at ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au – has an offer for us which is so big that I’m willing to bet she’ll be sold out in the fastest time ever.

What is this spectactular offer?  Get this: every order over $60 entitles you to choose a completely FREE item from the Oobi Baby Animals Range, valued at up to $39.95. That’s right, you read me correctly: FREE Oobi with all orders over $60!!! <*Miki hyperventilates*>

This offer is for one week only, finishing at midnight on 23 June 2009, unless sold out beforehand, and you can bet that it will be, so put the pedal to the metal!

You aren’t limited to any particular brands to spend the $60 on either, anything at ShopHouse qualifies!  All you have to do to qualify is spend your $60 (not incl. shipping) and then in the comments box at checkout tell Bronwyn which piece you want and which size you want it in.  It goes without saying that this is only while stocks last, so believe me, you’ll want to get in FAST.

The Oobi Baby Animals range consists of the following items:

• Lounge Suits (or PJs) in Blue Owl/Pink Owl/Giraffe RRP $39.95 sizes 6mths to 2 yrs
• Rompers in Blue Owl/Pink Owl/Giraffe RRP $29.95 sizes 6mths to 2 yrs
• Hoodies in Blue Owl/Pink Owl/Giraffe RRP $29.95 sizes 6mths to 2 yrs
• Pink Owl Hoodie Dress RRP $34.95 sizes 6mths to 4 yrs (very limited stock)

Have a look at this link to see the full Oobi range at ShopHouse, and see below for a few examples of this gorgeous range:

As if that wasn’t enough, Bronwyn has marked down her entire range of OshKosh by an unprecendented and whopping 40% off – yes, every single piece!  So you could buy a few items of OshKosh so heavily discounted that you’d probably sell it for more after your kids have grown out of it, and as long as you spend over $60 on the order you can also choose a FREE piece of Oobi!

There’s loads more at ShopHouse besides Oobi and OshKosh, and my personal favourite is the enormous range of Cocoon Couture: beanbags, kinder bags, cushions and other decor, it’s all just exquisite.  There are a couple of beanbag designs at 25% off too!

2. mill&mia Padded Blush Bubble Rabbit, $21.95 $12.95

It’s not every day we come across big discounts on this brand. But guess what?  I can now reveal that Bronwyn at ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au – is offering KidStyleFile readers 20% off all OshKosh!

Yep, you read that right: for one week only, every OshKosh order will cost 20% less when you use the code ‘KSFOKB’ (make sure you enter it in capitals else it won’t work) from 12-19 May 2009 – WOO!

OshKosh is a hugely popular brand, and with very good reason – look at their classic styles and great quality and you see kidswear which everyone is guaranteed to love; whether it be the kids who love the playground cred it gives them, or the mums who see the pieces wash up beautifully each time.

The modern yet traditional styles of OshKosh are designed with complementary colours and shapes – it’s a very ‘mix and match’ brand, and all the pieces work back together.  This is another reason Oshkosh is a long-standing fave of Mums everywhere: it’s super-easy to get kids looking stylish when the wardrobe contains a few key OshKosh pieces.

The popularity of Oshkosh means that ShopHouse’s OshKosh will go like hotcakes.  Bronwyn keeps her range of OshKosh at below retail store prices anyway, and this extra 20% off is going to mean that savvy buyers swoop in fast.  Many of the most popular styles only have one or two pieces available in each size, so if you want a piece of the action ou’d better move fast! All orders at ShopHouse over $99 also receive FREE delivery, so what are you waiting for? Zoom!!

The prices below reflect the 20% off KSF reader discount, using the code ‘KSFOKB’. Valid 12-19 May 2009 only.

Golly gosh!  There’s a new brand in store at ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au – and it’s a big ‘un:

Let’s give a big KidStyleFile welcome to OshKosh! YAAAAAAAY!!!

ShopHouse is the exclusive online stockist of OshKosh B’Gosh fashion in Australia, and their range of stock includes pre-walker footwear!

Bronwyn at ShopHouse receives new shipments of OshKosh every month, so there are going to be new products to check out all the time.  Spare a thought for Bronwyn and her team and how busy that’ll make them though!  And I should also point out that OshKosh flies out the door, and once products are gone at ShopHouse they’re gone for good – there’s no re-ordering of OshKosh, so if you like something you need to snap it up quickly or lose out.

You should also be aware that OshKosh sizing is on the generous side, so check the sizing charts on each product’s page to be sure you get it right.

And to welcome Osh Kosh to ShopHouse, Bronwyn is giving us KSF readers an exclusive 10% discount on the brand’s entire range!  You need to enter ‘gollygosh’ (lowercase, all one word) at checkout to get your discount.  The end date for this one is 31 March 2009.

Also in store, you’ll all be excited to hear, is the full and complete Winter 2009 range from Oobi Baby & Kids! I am head over heels in love with the Chocolate Fuzzy Little Bear Jacket which is just too cute for words, and I’m currently trying to decide which of the new season Little Bear beanies to buy.  I challenge anyone not to fall in love with at least one piece from the Oobi collection.

Don’t forget to take 10% off the prices shown below by using the code ‘gollygosh’ at checkout before 31 March 09.

1. OshKosh Highlander Satine Puffer Vest, $69.95
2. OshKosh Highlander Knit Cap, $24.95

My kids need new shoes.

The rate at which this event occurs is quite phenomenal. Their tiny baby-paws have transformed, seemingly overnight, into surfboard-length big-girl feet.

I’ve got to say that I’d rather go to the park with my kids than go shopping. They have only ever been present at one shoe shopping event, in which we came away with gumboots 2 sizes too big ‘cos they loved them so much

Needless to say, whenever I need anything for my kids (or anything at all!) I turn to the interweb.

The most recent news to hand on the shoe front is that Betts Kids – www.bettskids.com.au, as of only a few weeks ago, are now selling shoes for kids from infancy to teens online.

Betts Kids have everything from pre-walkers to casual shoes to dress shoes, sports shoes, slippers and gumboots. Brands available include Skechers, Keds, Osh Kosh, Airflex, Dakota, Patrick, and their own Betts Kids label.

They’re all presented to perfection on their beautifully designed and easy to use site. The site is a joy to behold: it is very clear on what colours and sizes are available, and there are multiple views of shoes so you can really see what you’re buying.

To celebrate their launch, Betts Kids are giving you FREE postage when you purchase shoes to the value of $69.95 or more until 8 June.

To give you extra confidence to buy, Betts Kids are also offering free returns or exchange until 8 June too. If you are concerned about ordering the wrong size you can buy both sizes and return the incorrect size (for free!), and have your credit card refunded for the returned pair – nice move, Betts Kids! Read the low-down on these offers here.

In addition to this great offer, Betts Kids also have a great competition running until May 30: Tell them the stickiest situation you’ve found yourself in, and go into the draw to win 1 of 5 Little Chipipi Wall Sticker sets.

These wall stickers are great quality, and are easily removable and repositionable. What’s more they are Australian designed, owned and made. (Read about Sam, designer of Little Chipipi here). No purchase is necessary to enter, and you’ve got to be in it to win it, so give it a whirl!

Ok, here are my hot picks to kick things off for you. Enjoy!

Note that I’ve just covered casual shoes here, because that’s my pace, but there are heaps and heaps of dress, sports, etc. going on, so if that’s what you need you’re well covered. Also there are quite a few mark-downs on the site, so have a browse, and happy shopping!
