Today, Miki brings us part two of her special feature on clothing for little girls. See last week’s post for Part 1: Newborn to Three Years

Next week: OobiWatch roundup - Woo!

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

Well, the weekend has rolled around once more, so it’s time to relax, put your feet up and get your credit card out. That’s right: today I bring you girlswear part two, gorgeous, groovalicious gear for girls aged four to seven.

Buckets & Spades

To get the ball rolling, let’s take a look at the MASSIVE sale section, with up to 50% off, at Buckets & Spades www.bucketsandspades.com.au.

I had great trouble singling out items to showcase here, because there’s just too much cool stuff to want to whittle it down at all!

That sale section is HUGE, it’s MASSIVE I tell you! There’s every designer you can possibly think of in there - Fred Bare, Diesel, Guess, Gumboots, Two Belles, Tommy Rocket, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh, BIG by Fiona Scanlan and so on.

You’ll have to dig through the 53 pages of winter specials (that’s not including the summer specials section) yourself to find out who else is in there. Now there’s a challenge for you

So what I’ve done here, just because I was so overwhelmed by all the choice, is just to pick out my favourites of the winter coats. It’s that time of year when everyone wants to be rugging up, and there’s no more stylish way to do it than with one of these pieces of gorgeousness below:

No links because Buckets & Spades is a frames-based site, but the search function works well so use that to hunt down your bargains!

Itty Bitty Yuppy

These guys are just sooooo stylish. I don’t think you could go wrong with *anything* bought from Itty Bitty Yuppy - www.ittybittyyuppy.com.au - as it’s all so chic.

Stockists of some seriously fab designers, Australian and international alike, IBY well deserve their reputation as one of the trendiest places to shop online.

Just have a look at the brands they carry: Abe Jones, Edenstar, Mill & Mia, Finnegan Finn, Zephire Generation, Parisian Ballet, Willow and Finn… I’m not going to tell you all of them so that you have to go over there and see for yourself what else there is. Mean aren’t I!

Itty Bitty Yuppy are currently offering a massive 35% off Australian and International designer clothing. It ends tomorrow, 22 June, so get on over there without delay!

Frock You

The Frock rocks, just no two ways about it!

I am a huge fan of Frock You - www.frockyou.com.au - and I think everyone else should be too. What do I love so much? Well, it could be the funky-yet-practical-and-cool clothes, the super-cheap-and-super-fast delivery ($5 for Express Post!), the great service from Kat (do you read her blog? Subscribe now, it cracks me up every time it hits my inbox) and so on and so forth.

And that’s not even mentioning the great discounts that Kat gives KidStyleFile readers: 20% off storewide with the My Child discount code!

Leave a comment on this post or email Angela if you don’t have a copy of My Child, she’ll give you the code just ‘cos she’s nice!

Are you sold yet? If not, have a look at some of my girlswear picks below:

Prices quoted include the 20% off My Child discount:

American Apparel Kids Zip Fleece Hoody, $44.00 $35.20 I love this range (you can get it for adults as well), the fabric is so soft and stretchy and it holds its shape really well. Great casual basics.

I also love the Kate Quinn organics range; lovely practical dresses for day-to-day wear, and who doesn’t love the feel of organic cotton?

Fairy Kisses also stock a great range of other brands, including GiGi, Kate Quinn Organics, Momiji, Nenuphar London, Piccalilly, Soda Baby, Vintage Kid, Koby and many, many more. I want it all!
