As autumn leaves begin to fall, so too does all the new season fashion…and some of the hippest new collections are landing in store now at Little Pinwheel – www.littlepinwheel.com.au. With her signature style and flair for all things fashionable, you simply must pay a visit to this stylish locale and check out proprietor Hayley’s designer selections for winter this year.

There are lots of delicious new threads in the New Arrivals section at Little Pinwheel: Chalk N Cheese,  Sudo, and Cried Wolf are all in store now – and there is a lot to love from these designers. You can see Hayley’s daughter Keely modeling my favourite frill cuff floral dress from Chalk N Cheese here, and shown below at number 11. It’s mixed print of black, green and a splash of red makes for a fantastic, bold statement this winter. Stay tuned also for new season Tiny Mammoth which will soon be mixing it up among all these new arrivals.

There is sooo much more fashion on the way including Polka, Rittenhouse and Heavenly Creatures and Three Little Trees. Beat the rush and pre-order it now!

I’m loving all that Hayley has selected from the brand Rittenhouse in particular. My favourite item for boys is the Spencers Rib Henley - it was true love at first sight of those buttons! My favourite Rittenhouse outfit for girls is being beautifully displayed at Little Pinwheel, (it’s all about those gorgeous bloomers for me!) and you can see it below at number four and five. Oh she is too cute!

Another stunning dress for girls this winter is from Polka, and it’s a gorgeous and aptly named the Time Traveller Dress. Pair it with the Liquid Leggings for a retro styled outfit.

I’m pretty sure after viewing all the gorgeous pictures below, you will be in a hurry to visit Little Pinwheel – so a couple of important last mentions for today: the first is that  all summer stock is now marked down to 60% off, and secondly, until 31 March 2010, Hayley is offering KidStyleFile readers FREE postage Australia-wide. Nice one! Enter ‘KSFpost‘ at checkout to redeem, and sit back and watch for the postman who will deliver your goodies straight to your door and FREE of charge.

Today, in all it’s glory, I bring to you the incredible ‘The Future Is Now’ Autumn/Winter 2010 from Polka – www.polkakids.com.au. Never an outfit to disappoint, design duo Marika and Jo, exceed expectations once more with their latest collection pieces for babies from size 000 through to size 7.

Comprised of bold and colourful geometric knits that pay homage to the 1960’s space-age aesthetic for girls – think mini dresses and knee high boots – and ‘cool-geek’ for little boys, Polka once more breaks the mould to deliver a highly unique and individualistic collection.

Responding to the demand from tween mums for fashion that suits 8-12 year olds, Polka are also launching their spin-off collection, Geogami, this season. Available in sizes 8,10,12 and14, independent minded tweens to teens and their parents are bound to be impressed by this collection, which is indefatigably cool in it’s reference to Japan’s Toyko, and Scandinavian street culture.

With nary a muffin top or surfie motif to be found, Geogami offers tweens and teens a sophisticated alternative to the usual street fashion available to them.

Polka Kids A/W10 Collection and Geogami A/W10 will be available in stores from 12 March. Check here for Polka stockists, and contact Polka for Geogami stockists.

I live in one of the most spectacularly beautiful places on earth: Tasmania; which also happens to have some of the coolest weather here in the land of Oz.  So for this summertime babe, the truth hurts! The reality is that fun in the sun will shortly come to an end for me and my little family. All too soon we will be reaching for much warmer clothing to see out the day.

However I’m not glum, no! Instead, I am so very excited to report that Hayley from Little Pinwheel – www.littlepinwheel.com.au already has some seriously gorgeous new winter gear ready and waiting to pre-order now,  AND -  for all you savvy shoppers (and all you lucky ducks who enjoy all-year sun), further reductions have been made in the summer sale: all summer stock is now marked down to 60% off. This sale continues until sold out.

Polka this winter looks bold, bold, BOLD! Plus there are some great pieces in black,  making a fabulous choice regardless of what gender you’re out shopping for.  I love the serious cool of this stylish brand.  Polka sure do know how to make their knitwear stand out from the crowd and this year is certainly no exception! Check out Hayley’s little boy Taj pictured below in the Monoscope Baby Knit – what a handsome little man!  If you have a little lady to shop for, check out the ‘My Plastic Heart’ Knit.

Chalk N Cheese has an absolutely charming selection this winter. My favourites on offer at Little Pinwheel are the Ploughman’s Blouse for girls and the long sleeved Pablo Polo for boys.

As the mother of a little boy with what can only be described as a passion for hats; I must make mention of the fabulous Gatsby Cap by Sudo. Oh, my little man will be falling over himself waiting to wear this one. In grey it will be so versatile, ready to keep his little head warm all winter. Wouldn’t surprise me if it even gets worn to bed!

I love checking in at Little Pinwheel to see Hayley’s photos of new stock being modeled by her two very beautiful children Keely and Taj. It is a great way to see how it looks in ‘real life’. (Mind you, their smiling faces make everything look beautiful!) So keep your eyes peeled for more fabulous picks soon.

One of my embarrassing quirks is my love for celebrity gossip and fashion. I try very hard to hide this little obsession interest, but with all the activity with this weeks Golden Globes I have been swept away – not by the dresses, not by the celebs, but by the Boom Boom Room.  This is the place that all celebrity parents go to to discover the very best in new kids fashion. It’s like a trade show, but they get to take it all home!!

One of the selections that celebrities were snapping up this year was New Zealand’s very own Nature Baby which is stocked at Little Pinwheel – www.littlepinwheel.com.au.  The Nature Baby range includes organic cotton and organic merino wool, which is becoming a keen favourite amongst celebrity parents who are using their influence to support companies that care for our environment.  Little Pinwheel’s Nature Baby range includes sleepwear, active wear, wraps, hats and select fashion pieces which will compliment any wardrobe.  My eye is on the Nature Baby gift pack which includes a long sleeve suit, drawstring pants, booties and a knotted beanie – all perfect for a new edition to any family.

When Katie Holmes arrived in Melbourne to shoot her latest film she was accompanied by daughter, Suri Cruise. To many, it was rather the other way around! Suri was popular amongst the tabloids, and all the celebrity fashion stalkers (like…ahem…myself) had our eyes on her latest attire. The Polka Mini-Maxi dress that Suri wore on a park visit with her parents quickly became the favourite of many mini fashionistas – so much so that it was sold out for months! A new drop has just landed at Little Pinwheel, and they are selling quickly, so move fast if you want to snare one.  A special note for tween parents:  Polka sizing caters for infants right up to size 10, and you can take your fill of the range at Little Pinwheel.

On a final note, the much lauded Taiwanese Nellystella is not far off now. Little Pinwheel will be featuring the range with its arrival at the end of January. Boom Boom!

Little Pinwheel have reduced all summer fashion from designer luminaries including Polka, mill&mia, Sudo, Three Little Trees, Tiny Mammoth, Itch Design, Heavenly Creatures, Chalk n Cheese, Cocoon Couture, Rittenhouse Kids and L’il Ludy by 50%, and you can receive an *additional 10% off store-wide*, including Nature Baby, Lark Designs, monte&tex, Sevi Toys and more, using coupon code ‘KSF10‘ until 31 January 2010, while stocks last.

My favourite childhood memories revisit me every summertime. Hot sand, windows down, cool dips, icy poles and spending all day in my swimsuit. Conversations with friends confirm these as the universal memories of Australian childhood, which our own children are now experiencing anew.

Hanging out and the beach or pool or just running under the sprinkler on the lawn, sunny days are here and there is fun to be had. Our mood board for summer embodies this: think shorts, swimmers, and light floral frocks – perfect attire all summer long.

I have never been been one to hit the streets for the frantic rush into shops in the first days after Christmas.  It is a phenomenon part of me would love to join in on, but I just can’t seem to tear myself away from all the fun happening around home…yummy Christmas leftovers, kids laughing and playing with new toys and it would be a crime to miss out on backyard cricket – would it not?!

So, if like me you’d like the best of both worlds -  the bargains AND at home summer fun – you can!  KidStyleFile is at hand to point you in the right direction of all the best Summer sales so you can shop from home.   My hot tip (or very hot tip I should say) for today goes to the delightful boutique Little Pinwheel – www.littlepinwheel.com.au.

Hayley from Little Pinwheel has gorgeous taste and so literally everything from her summer stock could be listed as a personal favourite!  You will find premium kids fashion for babies boys and girls in this sale – there is a little bit of summer heaven for your little one no matter what their size!

For babies my favourites are the Rittenhouse Nancy Onesie, the Itch Design Pinwheel Onesie and just perfect for teaming with a simple singlet for this time of year are the Rittenhouse Spot Pilchers – little tushies just look so cute in them!

For boys I love tops like the Polka Lucky Shirt, Sudo Otis Tee and the Chalk n Cheese Charlie Polo. All of these three would go perfectly with a pair of Polka Skinny Denim Shorts – three sharp summer outfits just like that – how easy!
