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.

Also, while you’re happily filling your shopping cart full of new season Minti, you should have a thorough dig through About A Boy’s famous sale section.  Brimming with gorgeous boyswear for gorgeous boys, everything in there is discounted by up to 50%!

Now quick, go grab your Minti before I beat you to it!

Ooh I love it when Mariana at Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – throws a sale.  There’s always so much good stuff included, and it’s always marked down so dramatically!  The current sale is no exception but don’t take my word for it, check it out yourself!

You see, Mariana has discounted a vast array of current season winter gear by 30% or more, including Bebe by Minihaha, Confetti, Freshbaked, Woof!, Fox & Finch, Bonds and more.  You’ll also find Walnut boots for boys and girls at 30% off, along with the coveted ISOKI nappy bags which are also discounted by 30%.  In addition, the sale section still has a fab array of Summer 10/11 which has all been marked down to half price – I’m planning to grab some bits and bobs to store away for this coming summer and for Christmas presents.

This is the really amazing part though: right now you can take an extra 30% off storewide *including sale prices*  – this means that you can grab *up to 80% off* right now!! All you have to do is enter the the code KSF-30 at checkout!  This code is valid while stocks last until 31 July 2011, so use it well!

This code brings prices down so low it is almost unbelievable.  For example, Bebe by Minihaha hats and booties are now down to $7.35 (nope, not a typo), and Walnut boots are below half price!  For girls I love everything about the Confetti Country Cardigan, and how utterly adorable is the Bebe Polly Swing Coat in lavender?!  Boys are just as well catered for with the classic Bebe Nathan Canvas Pea Coat, and I love that it coordinates with the rest of the Nathan range without being too ‘matchy’.  I’ve also been eyeing off the Polka My Power Knit, and given that it was $79.95 and is now $27.97 after the extra discount, it would be beyond silly not to snap it up!  Into my cart it goes…

The prices below are valid using the code KSF-30 until 31 July 2011.

1. Polka My Power Knit, $79.95 $39.96 less 30% = $27.97
2. Polka Waistcoat – Grey, $79.95 $47.97 less 30% = $33.57
3. Walnut Boys Short Leather Boots – Chocolate, $64.95 $45.47 less 30% = $31.82
4. Bebe Nathan Striped Beanie – Even Stripe, $27.00 $18.90 less 30% = $13.23
5. Bebe Nathan Canvas Pea Coat – Dune, $59.90 $41.93 less 30% = $29.35
6. Bebe Nathan 5 Pocket Denim Pant – Blue/Black, $53.00 $31.10 less 30% = $21.77
7. ISOKI Reversible Saddle Tote Bag – Bohemian, $199.95 $139.97 less 30% = $97.97

If you go down to the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise….

The Polka / Geogami -www.polkakids.com.au –  Autumn/Winter 2011 collection catering for babies, boys and girls sizes 0-6 under the Polka Kids label, and sizes 7-12 under the Geogami Tween banner, is about to hit stores and there are just so many delights (keep a watch on About A Boy, ShopHouse and Whimsy Child who are expecting Polka / Geogami any day now).

The gorgeous, colourful knits are back, but there is a new feeling to the range as well, a certain air of sophistication. There is a wiff of French and a pinch of Scandinavian influence perhaps; its a little bit preppy, but also a little bohemian…..my gosh, there is magic in the air because it all works! The fusion of fashion influences sits just right in Polka’s  latest release and I want it all!

……………..Ev’ry Teddy Bear who’s been good, Is sure of a treat today.
