Christmas just isn’t Christmas without a little shoe shopping! I mean what an excuse: there’s a bunch of Christmas parties to go to, Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas lunch….all these opportunities for a new outfit which will, of course, be calling for a pair of matching shoes. Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – is just the place for a shoe stop, (or an out and out kids fashion blitz!).

I am excited to see Czarque in the shoe rack at Bubba Funk. Proudly Australian made and handcrafted, these stylish little 100% leather shoes in faux snake skin, cow print, suede – take your pick – would surely give Carrie Bradshaw moment for pause. Before you decide which pair to purchase, have a quick look at the Samvara ballet slippers, Walnut, SKEANIE and other great kids fashion footwear at Bubba Funk – you’re really spoilt for choice!

Boys are no way pushed aside at Bubba Funk, with an enormous range of boys fashion up for the taking and ready for your summer holidays. I always have my eye out for some cheeky tops for Master R, and Bubba Funk doesn’t disappoint with some great examples from Moppit and Tiny Mammoth for starters. I’m rather taken by the Zephire Generation Blue Skies Denim Shorts: the funky pockets at the front are so cool!

Bubba Funk is also a mums Mecca, with an extensive range of Lucie Trinco’s iI Tutto bags always in store. Lucie was head designer at Oroton before launching iI Tutto, and she knows her stuff – a fact well known amongst yummy mummies and celebrities alike (name check Cate Blanchett). My hint: be quick – these beauties sell out so quickly at Bubba Funk with everyone rushing there to snatch them up each time they’re mentioned here on KSF. Maybe now’s the time to take advantage of Christmas and provide your partner with a few helpful hints about the perfect gift??

Mariana from Bubba Funk is a KSF Christmas Angel this holiday season, slashing a whopping 20% off store wide (including sale stock reduced by up to 70% off: yup, you can snatch up some goodies for up to 90% off with your KSF code!!) and offering free gift wrapping right up to 25 December 2009.

Hi, my name’s Miki and I’m a self-confessed kids’ shoe addict.

I’m not alone: KSF readers Jodi and Melanie recently requested a post on shoes and boots for little feet, and I am more than happy to oblige! (In fact, I have been wanting an excuse to sit down and hunt out some awesome little shoes as my son (nearly two) has just grown out of his last pair of Pedipeds and his Walnuts are still too big for him – and that’s not as rude as it sounds!)

So, where to begin?  Well, with winter approaching it seems sensible to look for boots – after all, we mums love to wear our boots in winter so who’s to say that the kids don’t too?  Luckily there are boots galore in all sorts of sizes to suit all sorts of ages, and both girls and boys.  Have a look at the image collage below for some of my faves.

Sneakers are always a goer regardless of your child’s age or gender.  Take them anywhere, do anything in them; they can be teamed with the girliest of tutus or the most macho jeans and shirts you can imagine.  I think every child should have at least one or two pairs of sneakers!

Don’t forget that babies and young toddlers should be in soft-soled shoes until several months after walking has been established. Plenty of research shows that babies’ feet develop best when they learn to walk barefoot, and soft soled shoes are a good alternative where bare feet just aren’t practical.  The soft little leather shoes from brands such as Robeez, Star Child, Beautiful Soles and Skeanie are also great for protecting crawlers’ feet.

Well without further ado, here are my picks for the cutest kids’ shoes and boots this season! Enjoy!

1. Baby Chick Pink Boots, $95.00 from Kounia-Bella
2. Luxurious Cream Loafers, $49.95 from Skeanie
3. Morgan & Milo LTT Oxford – Red/Orange, $44.95 $39.95 from Where Did You Get That?
4. Walnut Desert Boots – Navy, $59.95 from Urban Child
5. LelliKelly Iris Laces Sequinned Boots, $114.00 $109.95 from Where Did You Get That?
6. Beautiful Soles Silver Rock Star Baby Shoe, $39.90 $29.95 from Bubba Funk
7. Star Child Cherry Baby, $39.95 from Chic Kids
8. Scandeez Baby Leather Brown Moks, $35.00 $21.00 from Soda Pop Kids
9. Walnut Mary Janes – French Navy Spot, $29.95 from Urban Child
10. Samvara Navaho Cowboy Boot – Chocolate, $114.00 from Bubba Funk
11. Fire Engine Red Boots, $39.95 from Skeanie
12. Robeez Guitar Soft-Soled Baby Shoes, $57.00 from Kounia-Bella
13. Jack & Lily Love Birds – Chocolate, $54.95 from Little Styles

PS Polka also make a gorgeous girl’s boot, the Mika-Lu, which Ange’s girls have for this winter, for just $88.00. Hit up Raspberry Rascals to behold the goodness. Check sizing with them before your purchase.

As always, please check individual sites for postage details, and have a look at the KidStyleFile All Current Deals page to make sure you’re getting the best deal on your purchase.

WOW! When Mariana at Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – goes on the hunt for hot new products she always turns up some crackers!

Have a look at some of the new brands she has arriving in store as we speak: Samvara Kids is a fantastical blend of princess and cowboy chic, with uber trendy boots and oh-so-girly tutus combining to create a look that any girl would cheerfully sacrifice her My Little Ponies to achieve.

Chalk n Cheese is another lovely one. Proudly manufactured in Melbourne, thus supporting local industry, these products are designed to go into a washing machine and coming out looking brand new every time – and if that isn’t a mother’s dream then I don’t know what is! I’m really loving the Girls Coat in Chocolate; I can’t think of a snugglier, more stylish way of keeping a little girl warm this winter.

There’s also new stock from Tiny Mammoth, Marquise and Heavenly Creatures, and Mariana tells me that she’s had a waiting list as long as her arm for the Moppit Bluey Jeans to arrive: well you can all hurry in and snap them up as they have finally arrived!
