Now all of us have our own special ‘happy places’, and mine is not only calming and joyful but also open to all of you: it’s none other than Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au.

Little Styles is a happy refuge for me because it’s loaded with over 2,000 beautiful and well designed children’s products from 100+ brands, it’s so easy to navigate, and the site is gorgeous to look at.  Plus right now it has a cache of new winter fashion from some of my most smile-inducing brands: Gaia Organic Cotton, Sooki Baby, Marquise, BIG by Fiona, Minti, Woof!, Bebe, Bonds, Munster, Books To Wear and Purebaby – and this is just the start of the winter stock due to arrive over the next few weeks at Little Styles.

The newest Bebe by Minihaha collections look too good to be true – the adorable Leila for girls (the bubble pinnie at #1 below is going to be one of the biggest hits this season) and Charlie for boys with it’s hip, understated monochrome and beige styling.  Gaia Organic Cotton also deserve a big shout out for their new season gorgeousness – I adore the 100% organic cotton velour footed onesies, and their separates are indispensable in my baby’s wardrobe so I can’t wait to stock up.

New toys and decor items are in from Alimrose starting from only $8.95, see a few of my faves below at #5; and pre-orders are now being taken for the hugely popular Vulli Treehouse.  So many of us either owned and loved, or desperately wanted (me!) one of these during their own childhoods that they’re simply flying off the shelves in Australia and supply can’t keep up with demand.  So pre-order your’s – ahem, your child’s – one now to make sure you don’t both miss out!  Email Terri to place your order.

The biggest, hugest, most exciting arrival of the season is of course going to be Oobi, and I can now announce that Little Styles will be stocking the *entire* Oobi A/W10 range!  It’ll launch on Friday 12 March, and Little Styles newsletter subscribers will get the first chance to snap up their favourite pieces. You have been warned so sign up now if you haven’t already; put your email addy in the subscribe box on the Little Styles hompeage. You can see a KSF exclusive preview of the to-die-for Oobi AW10 range here.

Grab some of the new goodies in-store at Little Styles, or scoop bargains up to 60% off in the sale section, with 10% off all orders over $65 for KidStyleFile for three days only until midnight on 10 March 2010. Enter discount code ‘ksfautumn‘ at checkout to redeem. Enjoy!

If you’re looking for a party, I can tell you that it’s happening right now over at Little Styles – www.littlestyles.com.au.  Every time I visit the store – which is often, it’s a favourite! – something exciting is going on, and there’s always something new for me to fall in love with.

Take right now for example: Winter stock is beginning to arrive, and that always gets me excited – I love winter fashion.  I’m really impressed by Bonds this season; what used to be a good-but-basic brand has really come into its own in recent seasons’ collections and the current Bonds range is hip and happenin’.  Funky prints, great colourways and incredibly comfy fabrics make it a winner in every way, but when buying just remember to go up a size as Bonds gear is traditionally on the small side.

Also new at Little Styles is the iconic Sophie the Giraffe, or Sophie la Girafe as she’s known in her native France.  We have a Sophie in our household and she’s just gorgeous – lovely soft 100% natural rubber, her sweet smile and her happy squeak make her incredibly popular with me and my five month old.  If I’m going out and need something to entertain him, Sophie is the first thing I throw in the nappy bag. Little Styles also stock Sophie’s friends, the Chan Pie Gnon chew toys.  Too cute!

Yet more new arrivals include Skip Hop’s Zoo Packs, the fabulous and colourful Lifefactory WeeGo glass bottles, new Tiger Tribe (see below for TT soft toys, adorable), new Sparkle T, new Alex bath toys, new Hess-Spielzeug baby toys, and loads of top ups of styles that sold out over Christmas.  Terri and her team sure have been busy!

The Little Styles huge summer fashion sale is in full swing, with up to 60% off on top brands, including Oobi, Sooki Baby, Bonds, Big By Fiona, Gaia and Purebaby.  And speaking of discounts, you’ll want to take note of this:  Terri is giving KidStyleFile readers 10% off store-wide, including sale stock, *on all orders $65 (before postage is added).  This offer ends aat midnight 12 February 2010.  Enter the discount code ‘febfun‘ at checkout to redeem. Enjoy!

You can take 10% off the prices below when you spend over $65 in one transaction (before postage), using the code ‘febfun’.  This offer expires midnight 12 February 2010.

The stylish team over at Pastel Pink – www.pastelpink.com.au are adding to their already outstanding line up of items this week with some great new products, and they are out to make all things retro new again!

First up for introduction is The Magic Klorofil Tree. If you are a child of the 70′s, chances are you had first hand experience with the orginal verison of this toy. The Magic Klorofil Tree has been bought up to date for our tech savvy children and once again set to become a favourite for a whole new generation. Now electronic, when the tree is opened up you hear the sound of birds singing and a running river…But what hasn’t changed are the endless possibilities for children to use their imaginations, role playing and creating from the simple things of day to day living.  Pastel Pink will have limited stock arriving December 1 – so if you want this magical toy under your Christmas Tree this year, make sure you pre-order now to avoid disappointment.

If you are a regular KidStyleFile reader, I’m sure you’re up to date with the very famous ‘Sophie’ the Giraffe. This delightful teething toy has taken the world by storm and become a must have item for yummy mummy’s right across the globe (celebrity or not!). What you may not know is that Sophie has friends!! Oh yes!  Like Sophie, ‘Chan’, ‘Pie’ and ‘Gnon’ (‘champignon – get it?) are made in France from 100 % natural rubber and non toxic paint.

Sophie is in residence at one of my girlfriends houses, and my little girl just loves to get her hands on her if she can! These toys are easy to grasp and grip and make a very happy squeak when squeezed.  If you have a baby in your world to buy for this year, I would seriously consider one of these delightful toys from Vulli.

And the last introduction of today is from top brand Envirosax. Because they have so many fans (of which, I am one) it would be hard not to have heard of Envirosax before.  But you may not have seen the brand new collection designed with stylish mums in mind.  Check out the new pouch featuring designs La Boheme (pictured below at #3).  This pouch would make a stylish and practical Christmas gift this year.

On a mission to help educate our kids about the benefits of re-use (especially at Christmas-time when we all tend to get a little gift wrap happy), Pastel Pink have a great offer on Envirosax: purchase any 3 x Kids Series bags and Pastel Pink will give FREE Kids Pouch. Because they are used over and over, Envirosax make a great little gift that just keeps on giving!  And because they are so stylish, you could even consider putting presents inside and using them as wrapping paper!  To get your free pouch, simply select your three kids Envirosax and then add the FREE Pouch to your shopping cart.

And if these new items aren’t enough to feast your eyes on, slap your eyes on this mpiece of news: until Wednesday 25 November 2009, KidStyleFile readers receive 20% off store-wide* (*excluding The Magic Klorofil Tree). Enter code ‘KSF-XMAS’ to have your discount applied at checkout.

Happy Monday indeed: I have just discovered the delightful Button Baby – www.buttonbaby.com.au - online shop and have fallen hard for this beautiful store.

I am thrilled to discover that Button baby stock the Vulli Chan Teether! Now most regular KSF readers would be very familiar with Vulli’s Sophie the Giraffe. Chan Pie Gnon, which comes from the French word ‘champignon’ which means mushroom, is an adorably mushroom shaped soft chew toy.  Like Sophie, all three in the series (Chan, Pie and Gnon) are made from 100% natural rubber derived from the sap of the Heyea Tree. Chan has a nub on the top of his had which is great for teething babies to chew and nibble on. Isn’t he just unique?? A great stocking filler if you ask me! Yep, added to my list!

I also fell in love with the Ada Cot Quilt. I know, I know…Christmas means hot weather. But as I am currently decorating Miss N’s room for her transfer to a ‘big bed’ I find the idea of this 100% cotton patchwork quilt just perfect for the end of her bed.  I’m thinking it’s also a great ‘new arrival’ gift!.

I grew up in Spa Country, Victoria. So I am elated to see Lark products on Button Baby’s site. The gorgeous Lark knit cookies take me back to my own childhood and I am positive they will be received well by a trio of nieces I have who are right into role-playing.  Both soft and washable, these will last beyond one or two tea parties.

Until midnight Monday 16 November 2009 you can take 15% off storewide (*not including specials and postage). Enter code ‘KSF11′ at checkout to redeem. PS If you’re looking for great summer PJs, check out Huckleberry Lane at Button Baby – they’re 25% off!

1 little, 2 little, 3, little Indians! For the past 2 ½ years since it opened, I have routinely visited the Ten Little Indians – www.tenlittleindians.com.au – site for my regular weekly browse through their mammoth fusion of girls and boys fashion, accessories, play items, party things and room décor, and each time I have found myself unwittingly humming along to this nursery rhyme.

This week I am drooling over the great range new spring/summer stock from brands which include Big by Fiona (the one thing that makes me want the next year to fly by so DD can finally wear this dress range that start at size 2 -yes!) Oobi, Munster, Littlehorn, minti, Cried Wolf, Purebaby, Coco & Ginger, Bebe by Minihaha, Itch, Chook Leaf Shoes, Cocoon Clothing, Little Leona, Bobbleart, Tiger Tribe, Alimrose and soooooo many more.

I admit it, I often find myself stalking the social pages for images of Suri Cruise in her latest outfit: the girl has style and flair. Recently in Melbourne, Katie Holmes purchased 2 dresses and pants from the up and coming Tiddles and Chich label (which answers my current issue of what to dress DD in at an upcoming christening…)

You will also find the gorgeous Sophie the Giraffe from Vulli, who has surged in popularity amongst celebrities. Born in France back in 1961, Sophie is the only teething toy in the world made out of 100% natural rubber and is the perfect companion as she can’t be swallowed.

So with your shopping cart all loaded up, Ten Little Indians are rewarding you with 10% off storewide, including sale stock up to 50% off from luminous brands including Munster, Moppit and Big by Fiona: this means up to 60% off for you!!! Pop in ‘KIDSTYLE’ at the discount code section at checkout to redeem this offer until 31 October 2009.

10 Little Indians are also treating one lucky newsletter subscriber to a $1,000 shopping spree with them, with a $200 spree for the lucky runner up. For a chance to win simply spend $50 at 10 Little Indians before 31 October 2009 to automatically go into the draw. Easy peasy!

Discounted prices quoted below are applicable with code (see above) until 25 October 2009.

1. Tiddles & Chich Red Bow Jersey Dress (as worn by Suri Cruise) – $49.95 Less 10% = $44.95
