I always like to get a special outfit for the boys on Christmas day. Knowing that it’s destined for major staining is a given, but as long as the all important family snap is taken I tend to turn a blind eye. With all the costs involved in making Christmas ‘happen’, it’s nice to know some retailers are giving us a helping hand with some of those important Christmas purchases.

Case in point is one of my very favourite online stores, Little Pinwheel – www.littlepinwheel.com.au. I don’t think there is anything I wouldn’t choose for my boys – Hayley’s taste and style is second to none and our whole wardrobe would be filled with her goodies if I got half the chance!

I can pinpoint exactly when I fell in love with kids fashion and developed a serious passion for sourcing the most stylish clothes for little ones. It started a little over 5 years ago when I laid my eyes on an Oobi 50s style party dress whilst on the search for a gift. Shortly after I discovered Master R was on his way, and clicked my way back to the very same site where I was introduced to Purebaby, Little Horn, Rock Your Baby, Cried Wolf, Munster and Itch, to name but a few. Whenever I need wardrobe inspiration for my two, I return to my original fashion stomping ground, and today I am so excited to wish them a very happy 7th birthday.

Cradle Rock – www.cradlerock.com.au – is one of the original Australian online boutiques catering for babies and children.

Julie’s experienced eye also sees Cradle Rock with the most impressive fine fashion, toy and accessory brand lineup – it’s all wheat, and no chaff, here!

Whether you live in Queensland or not, it seems that everyone knows someone who has been directly affected by the dreadful floods recently.  Katie from About A Boy – www.aboutaboy.com.au – is one of those affected – her entire bricks-and-mortar store was ruined by the floodwaters.

Of course, she’s luckier than some; her home is okay and she and her family are safe, plus she had enough warning to be able to remove almost all of her stock… but that has led to a new problem.  You see, Katie’s house is now completely inundated by her About A Boy stock – she has around 80 cartons of stock stored all throughout her home, playroom, carport, neighbour’s garages etc. – and she genuinely needs to clear some space and get it down to a manageable level.

As a consequence everything at the About A Boy online store is now discounted by 30%-80%, including Three Little Trees, Sooki Baby, Minti, Sudo, Littlehorn and more! Because she REALLY needs to move stock Katie is giving all KidStyleFile readers an EXTRA 10% store-wide discount (sorry, excludes  Oishi-M) Use the code KSF at checkout to redeem until 31 January 2011.
