Hold on to your hats, folks, because today is a big one.  Gifts4Kidz – www.gifts4kidz.com.au – are having the kind of sale that even my wildest dreams don’t dare imagine.

For one week only, take 70% off *all* clothing.  No, it’s not a misprint (SEVENTY PERCENT OFF, PEOPLE!) and yes, it even includes sale items, some of which are already discounted by up to 30%.  And just to make things even more exciting, they’re giving us 25% off all toys too!  The code to use for the clothing discount is SPRING70, and for toys it’s TOY25. Make sure you use them before midnight Wednesday 14 September 2011 when they expire. Note: Both codes can’t be used in the same order.

I know you’ve already got your credit card out of your wallet and you’re itching to get into the action – and understandably, because at prices like this you know the gear is going to fly out the door – but just hang on for ten more seconds while I tell you exactly what amazing goodies you can snap up while you’re there.  G4K has fashion from Bebe, Minihaha, Tahlia, WOOF!, Tommy Rocket & Two Belles, Willow & Finn, Sugar Possum, Flo Dancewear and more, and toy brands include firm favourites such as Pintoy, Janod, Runna Bike, Fiesta Crafts, Micki, Djeco, Wheely Bug and lots, lots more.  Oh, the fun we can have here – why not get all your Christmas shopping out of the way early and relax for the next four months?

I also have to point out the amazing Micki Black Mini Kitchen which may just be the most stylish toy kitchen I’ve ever laid eyes on.  I also love the Willow & Finn Peacock Skirt and the Sugar Possum Knitted Hooded Cardigan for girls, both gorgeous pieces and what a sweet combo when put together.  For my boys I’m coveting the ZACMAC Sam Chunky Knit Toggle Jacket - and at 70% off why wouldn’t I grab it!  Plus the Tommy Rocket 10 Sloppy Joe just oozes relaxed cool.

Okay, okay, I promise I’m done… Go for it!

If you have been asked “Where did you get that?” more than just a few times, chances are you’re a fan of the gorgeous online boutique of the same name Where Did You Get That? – www.wheredidyougetthat.com.au. With the introduction of this new season’s fashion it’s easy to see why this online boutique has so many fans. With the arrival of the new season  Tommy Rocket (I am loving the Neil and Buzz Tee) and Two Belles (my must have is the Mad Hatter Tee) - trying to stick to just a few favourite items is hard work!

What about the new seasonal underwear by Claesen’s? Seriously cute! I can so imagine my little man thinking he is just like daddy in a pair of the Sports Page Print Boxers or the equally ‘manly’ Bike Print Boxers. For clothing to match the stylish undies, my pick would have to be the bright yellow Daily Tea El Capitan Graphic Tee paired back with a summer essential, the Daily Tea Cargo Shorts.

For the little Miss, Daily Tea brings us some gorgeous floaty dresses in various styles at great price points, including the Dragonfly Wrap Neck Dress, Campanilla’s Banded Dress, Flora Geo Ruffle Twirling Dress and the Citron Flora Play Dress. But my favourite dress for this summer is the Tea Collection – Jardin Arzul  Maxi Dress, the perfect trans-seasonal wardrobe staple when layered with a tee and  jacket.

Where Did You Get That? is offering free shipping on all orders containing 3 or more fashion items from the new summer range. Just select ***SUMMER 2011 FASHION FREE POST OFFER*** in the checkout before August 31, 2011.

The change of seasons are often a time of upheaval in my house. My gorgeous little Master R, doesn’t like change one little bit and the change from short sleeves to long sleeves; shorts to pants, really plays havoc with his carefully thought out wardrobe. This week however, week we passed a milestone. After refusing to wear hooded tops for much of his life, he has decided that he actually quite likes them. They keep his ears warm – who would have thought?!  As such, I’m now scouting for extra stylish hooded tops to add to his wardrobe.
