Almost two year old twins and post-Christmas sales do not mix well together. Prams are hard enough to negotiate without having to battle huge crowds, plus kids tend to get over-stimulated and grumpy making any worthwhile shopping pretty stressful anyway. I don’t need to leave my home for bargains though, because I’ve heard about a GIGANTIC online sale over at Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au.

Bubba Funk have discounted almost everything storewide by 40%. To access this generous discount offer simply enter the code KSF40OFF at checkout; but get in quick because this offer is strictly while stocks last, and ends 8 January 2012. The only brand excluded from the sale is Il Tutto because they have their own special offer for lucky KidStyleFile readers. If you purchase any Il Tutto product, and spend at least $200 in that transaction, you will receive an Il Tutto Monster Teddy Keyring in your choice of red or cream – for FREE! To redeem just enter iltutto200 at checkout before 8 January 2012. Il Tutto is without a doubt one of the most luxurious baby bags on the market and I’d be happy with any one of them, but I must say that I have my eye on the new Il Tutto Amalfi Beach Bag Black/Clear. Oh yes, I can see myself by the beach looking totes glam already!

With babies being born all around me, now is the perfect time to snap up some bargain new baby gifts. The Funky Parents Box has something in it for mummy, daddy and new baby and comes presented in a beautiful box – plus, with the 40% discount code, it is reduced from $90.00 to $54.00. I also think the Lil’ Fraser Baby Wraps are a beautiful new arrival gift idea. Made from 100% stretch jersey cotton, they come in a range of colours (including gender neutral grey and white stripes) – reduced from $29.95 down to $17.97, they make for excellent value! Don’t forget to use your 40% discount against items in the sale section – with items here already reduced by up to 50%, you are up for some big time savings!

Discounted prices quoted below in red are valid with code KSF40OFF until 8 January 2012, while stocks last. *Il Tutto items are excluded from the 40% discount offer.

My four year old son is learning his way around the English language. He is doing quite well but sometimes he comes out with the most hilarious things. This morning he pointed out a BMW as a car that he has named ‘a good eye for detail’. Apparently, every BMW is called this and there is nothing I can say that will change it. Not that I want to, these cute little sayings won’t last forever.

Another person that has a good eye for detail is Mariana at Bubba Funk-www.bubbafunk.com.au. A mum herself, Mariana appreciates quality products that last, and brands that offer something unique and funky. With a huge stack of stylish products to choose from, there is something here not only for the kids, but also for cool daddies and yummy mummies.

For the next two weeks, Bubba Funk is having a massive sale that, like my son’s euphemisms, won’t last forever. With big discounts to be had there are a few items on my  ’lust-have’ list that have been moved to the ‘must-have’ list. One such item is bloomers, the ultimate girly item: my summer pick would be the Bebe Abbey Gingham Bloomer with Bow Red Check, matched back with the Bebe Abbey Shirred Neck Top Red Check. For boys I am loving the funky cow print and soft suede sole of the Czarque Urban Loafer – Cow Print.

Bubba Funk is currently offering 30% off storewide. That’s right, *30% OFF STOREWIDE* until 24 October, 2011. This includes a further 30% off sale items that are already reduced by up to 70%, while stocks last. Take advantage of this amazing offer by typing in the discount code KSF330 at the checkout.

Everything about the season of spring seems to put a smile on my face: the gorgeous baby lambs, the blossoms and budding new leaves on my fruit trees, the patches of sunshine that warm my back as I enjoy a cup of tea. I smile and enjoy all these little moments as a symbol of nature’s little victories over a long winter.

This brand new season is heralded not only by nature, but in the gorgeous developments taking place in my favourite online boutiques. You will find a most delightful display unfolding at Whimsy Child – www.whimsychild.com.au as all of the new season stock shouts ‘hooray’ for spring and summer!

As a born and bred Australian, choosing my favourite Australian children’s designers somehow feels a bit taboo, like trying to pick a favourite child from my brood. However, I don’t need to play favourites when I am shopping from Lille – www.lille.com.au because literally anything I choose from this gorgeous boutique is my *most* favourite!

Proprietor Julia is a mum herself, and as her two gorgeous girls have grown so too has the range  at Lille. Julia has intuitive style and she stocks from a brilliant range of designers with lots of talented Australian baby and kids labels taking their place in the list. The line up currently includes Acorn, Alex & Ant, An Angel At My Table, Anamalz, Aunty Ollie, Beep Beep Slings, Bergstein, Chillikids, Coco & Ginger, Emu, Fertile Mind, Giimo, Jimmi-Lacka Books, Littlehorn, Love Me Baby, Manduca, Merino Kids, Micro, Milk Baby, Milkbar, Minti, Nutcase Helmets, Pikapu, Polka Kids, Saltwaters Sandals, Snugglebum, Sooki Baby, Storksak, Vulli and Zuny.

Right now at Lille there are a host of great winter fashion items on sale and reduced in glorious style: up to 50% their RRP! Julia and her team are also outdoing themselves on the savings front because all orders are gift wrapped  FREE of charge, and all orders $150+ will also receive FREE shipping Australia wide. This sale only continues while stocks last though, so you’ll need to make it snappy.

Lille ship Australia wide for the flat fee of $12.00. International orders 7kg or less are shipped for $25.00. For full shipping terms and condition please see the Shipping & Returns page.

Time to get your skates on (ice skates if it’s as cold at your place as it is at mine) and zoom on over to Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au.  With new spring stock arriving, Terri has to make room on her shelves and you know what that means…

Yes, it’s SALE TIME at Little Styles!  Until midnight Friday 29th July, you can take an *extra* 20% off all sale items - already discounted by up to 40% -  using the code further20.  This is your last chance to snap up the heavily discounted winter stock, so take full advantage and grab things both for the remainder of this winter – there are still several cold months ahead of us – and buy in larger sizes to put away for next winter. You won’t get better prices than these!

I guarantee you’ll find more than one thing you absolutely can’t live without in the massive Little Styles sale section.  Take the rarely discounted Crew Contrast M Jumper by Minti for example; it was $49.95, now $30.36 after the extra discount. The  Baobab Baby Fish Print Dress is nearly half price at $22.36, and the über trendy Polka Eurotrax Track Pants were $69.95 and are now $47.96 with the extra discount.

Before you check out with all your winter bargains, take a squiz at the cool new arrivals. I love the Talking Tables baking accessories, such pretty fresh colours and just perfect for a spring birthday party.  The new season Minti is arriving too, and this always sells out quickly in the most popular sizes so it’s worth snapping up as soon as you see them. Go have fun!

The prices below are valid using the code further20 before midnight Friday 29 July 2011, while stocks last.

Baby Boys & Girls: Munster Baby Spook Hoodie, $54.95 $38.95 less 20% = $31.16; Bluebird & Honey Applique Penguin Tee, $21.95 $15.95 less 20% = $12.76; Sooki Baby Alice Wanders Padded Reversible Jacket, $49.95 $37.95 less 20% = $30.36; Baobab Baby Fish Print Dress, $39.95 $27.95 less 20% = $22.36

Big Girls:  Oobi Evie Tee, $24.95 $21.95 less 20% = $17.56; Baobab Denim A-Line Skirt, $45.95 $32.95 less 20% = $26.36

Guess what people – it’s that time of year again and I’m excited! What time of year? The Minti Summer Pre-Release of course!

Minti is one of the hottest kids’ brands in the southern hemisphere, native to New Zealand but creating waves everywhere it goes.  I’m certainly not the only one excited about the pre-release of the Spring/Summer 11/12 collection: Katie at About A Boy – www.aboutaboy.com.au- gets just as buzzed about it as I do, and today we are both buzzing because a HUGE range of the new season stock is available for pre-order from her e-boutique!  Have a glance below for some key pieces and see the full range here (please note that stock will be added throughout the day today, so check back soon if you don’t see the new season gear there just yet). The latest collection includes lots of fresh aquatic tones combined with Minti’s signature grey marl, with quirky little features and cheeky prints. I’m seriously coveting the Pocket Shirt pictured at #4 below, and how cute are the Happy Face Comfy Shorts at #7?

Until 31 July 2011, About A Boy are offering KSF readers FREE postage on all orders over $50 that include a Minti SS’11 Pre-Order item using the code KSFMinti50. Remember though: it always sells out fast, so mamas of boys don’t delay.
