It’s hot summer sale time at Billy Lids – www.billylids.com.au – and if you’re after a bargain you’d better keep reading. You know KidStyleFile loves to bring you the best deals around, and today’s is a doozy!

The team at Billy Lids have slashed prices by up to 60% off in their Sale Section, which means you can get some truly incredible savings on top brand children’s fashion.  You’ll find brands including Bebe by Minihaha, Huckleberry Lane, Baobab, Papoose, Allerhand and many more, which gives you an idea of the quality of the products on offer.

In addition to these sale prices, KidStyleFile readers can take an *additional* 15% off storewide for one week only. This discount is good on full priced products *and* sale products, meaning you can get over 80% off some of the sale stock! The code to enter at checking is KSF, and it expires at midnight on 13 February 2012.

Some of my favourite picks are shown below, but I just have to tell you about some of them. The Papoose Dotted Frill Dress, for example – it’s feminine without being too girly-girl, and it would look just as good climbing trees as having tea parties. The same is true of the Polka Dot Tie Shorts, also by Papoose, which are utterly adorable.  I can picture my sons’ faces if I bought the Rhubarb Spider Tee and Papoose Surf Shorts, which are exactly the sorts of things they love to wear, and the Hand Knitted ‘Oliver’ the Frog by and the little dog laughed is the perfect new baby or first birthday gift.

Be sure to like Billy Lids on Facebook and sign up for their newsletter if you want to be the first to hear of all the new arrivals, competitions, giveaways & specials on offer. It’s well worth it!

Oh my goodness, it’s all action at Billy Lids – www.billylids.com.au.  With new products for newborns to five-year-olds arriving on their doorstep every day, and then flying out the door again as fast as the team can get them loaded onto the website, the pre-silly season rush has already begun.

First of all, new arrivals:  we’re looking at some gorgeous summer PJs from Huckleberry Lane featuring buttery soft cotton – my kids love their Huckleberry Lane PJs as they say the waistband is more comfy than other pyjamas, so I think I’ll be looking to get them some for this summer too.  I’m also very excited about the arrival of Zutano which is one of the best baby brands to come out of the US in a long time.  I had several Zutano pieces for my boys when they were a bit smaller and they were just fantastic, washed up brilliantly and had the kinds of designs that had other mums sidling up to me in the playground to ask about my kids’ clothes.  You’ll also see new collections from Papoose and and the little dog laughed among other fashion goodies in-store now.

Fashion aside, the OXO Tot feeding range has landed on our shores and it’s just as lovely as I’d remembered.  I first saw the OXO range at the Harrogate Nursery Fair a couple of years ago and raved about it then, and it has only improved in the interim.  As a feeding system for little ones it has everything you could need – simplicity, practicality and fabulous good looks.

In addition to reductions of up to 60% off in Billy Lids Super Sale, ”Like” the Billy Lids Facebook page for access to their first ever Facebook competition.

It’s one of *those* days in my house.  You know the kind of day I mean – the kind where the kids manage to get their clean clothes inexplicably covered in marmite and avocado (neither of which I’ve given them today) just as I’m trying to rush them out the door; the kind of day where the little monsters seem to somehow block out the frequency my voice is on; the kind of day where Master A is at his most melodramatic (“I will not ever be happy again if you make me eat my crusts!”) and Master J is at his most destructive (he’s just ruined my new lipstick by scribbling all over the bathroom with it). Awesome.

Things have calmed down a bit now and I’m taking some deep, calming breaths. I’m also taking some ‘me time’ to window shop through one of my favourite online boutiques, Billy Lids – www.billylids.com.au – an activity always guaranteed to cheer me up. Stockists of some truly wonderful brands including Bebe by Minihaha, Baobab, Papoose and Huckleberry Lane PJs, Billy Lids also offers FREE giftwrapping and postage starts from just $6.50!

Better yet, there’s a big mid-season sale on at Billy Lids right now with up to 60% off a huge range of goodies!  All of the brands I’ve just mentioned are included in the sale, along with Allerhand, WEIL baby and more!  You can find gorgeous pieces like this Papoose Stripe Bow Top in Navy (and you won’t believe how cheap it is!), and the groovy ‘Connor’ Denim Trackpants by Bebe.

And even more betterer (Master A’s new phrase), you can take 15% off storewide *including sale pieces*!  This extra discount is only valid for one week, ending at midnight on Wednesday 15th July 2011 and only while stocks last.  The code to enter at checkout is KSF15, but make sure you get in quick because these great items will sell fast!

I also recommend joining the Billy Lids newsletter at the top right on their homepage, and ‘liking’ them on Facebook to be kept up to date with new arrivals, latest finds and specials on offer.

And with visions of gorgeous things for kids at dirt cheap prices swirling in front of me, I feel much better.  It also doesn’t hurt that Master A just told me I’m his ‘best Mummy ever’ – awwwwww!

The prices below are valid with code KSF15. Be quick: the sale ends Wednesday 15th July 2011, while stocks last!
