I’m currently rugged up against a very chilly December in the UK, and hearing about my friends and family at home in Australia spending their days at the beach or the park is making me just a touch homesick.  While my kids are wearing umpteen layers just to leave the house, I dream of the days when they can run around in light and casual summer clothes.

To ward off the homesickness, I took myself over to Buckets & Spades – www.bucketsandspades.com.au – to spend some blissful moments surveying their Summer fashion.

Buckets & Spades always has the biggest range of upscale kids fashion around, and when that range consists of brands such as Fred Bare, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh, BIG by Fiona Scanlan, Trelise Cooper Kids, Tommy Rocket & Two Bells, Diesel, Guess and Little Horn it becomes downright irresistable.  Even just looking at everything on offer has made me feel a bit summery, and I wouldn’t be human if a couple of especially irresistable pieces hadn’t found their way into my shopping cart.

What’s even better than all those fantastic brands in one place, is all those fantastic brands in one place marked down by up to 50% off!  Yes my friends, that is precisely what is happening at Buckets & Spades right now; in fact there are over 300 current season items in the sale section all with hefty discounts! Prices are as marked, while stocks last. Buckets & Spades is now on Facebook too, and if you become a Fan before 1 January 2010, you’ll go into the running to WIN a AUD$150 Buckets & Spades gift voucher.

For girls, there’s a lovely range of dresses by Little Leona which are traditional in cut and feature some really beautiful fabrics.  There’s also a great range of funky, modern long-sleeve tees from mill&mia, Itch Design, Trelise Cooper Kids and Two Belles. And Appleseed Child is definitely where it’s at for jeans, skirts and leggings – what a great range of distinctive pieces!

I love it when Zlata at Buckets & Spades – www.bucketsandspades.com.au – throws a sale!

She always goes to town, and today proves the rule: *30%* off selected items from Fred Bare, Eeni Meeni, Guess, Big By Fiona, Fiona, Diesel, Trelise Cooper Kids, Two Belles and Tommy Rocket! HOT! HOT! HOT! This offer lasts only while stocks do, so don’t wait long to pounce!

These brands at those prices mean there’s absolutely no excuse for your kids to run around naked (besides the fact that it’s fun!) Zlata’s enormous range of winter fashion, and this fabulous 30% off sale, means that it’s super-easy to throw stylish outfits together on a budget, as I spent a happy while doing just now.

So what’s missing from your kids’ wardrobes for this winter?  Are they growing out of their jeans?  If so, I love Guess jeans this season: the girls ‘Walking Across London Jeans’ (no. 2 below) are ultra hip, and for boys I can’t go past the ‘Weapon of Sound’ Corduroy Pants (no. 5 below).

Fred Bare is always fantastic for hoodies and  stylish winter coats – I can’t get enough of this season’s swing coats for girls – and I really love the snuggly Eeni Meeni Miini Moh knits.  Eeni Meeni do great jeans too, by the way!

Trelise Cooper Kids is brilliant for adding a bit of glitz and glamour to a little girl’s wardrobe, and BIG by Fiona Scanlan just epitomises the kind of sophistication every little girl wants to have, while still remaining appropriate for a child to wear. Gotta love Trelise and Fiona, they’re both such talented designers!

Buckets & Spades stock the following super-brands: BIG By Fiona Scanlan, Guess for Kids, Diesel, Trelise Cooper Kids, Tommy Rocket, Two Belles, Hula Girl, and Alex and Charli, and footwear from Diesel, Garvalin, Agatha Ruiz De La Prada, Lelli Kelly, Bimbi. Buckets & Spades is also now stocking Oobi Baby and Kids, and the Autumn/Winter 09 range is now in-store.

No links today as B&S is a frames-based site – but the site is really easy to navigate and there is a search function so if you see something you like here, use it!

1. FRED BARE Fred All Over Print Hoodie $79.20 $55.00; FRED BARE Howard Jean $75.90 $55.00; DIESEL Para Troop Parabarny Shoe $135.00
