It’s one of the better kept secrets of the world of designer kids online shopping.  It has a huge range of threads by top kids brands at astonishingly small prices, and just about every single thing on the site is half price or below.  And yes, it has a big range of sizes available in nearly everything, and these pieces are the genuine, oh-so-hip, article.

I’m talking, my friends, about Tiny Threads – www.tinythreads.com.au.  If you haven’t been there yet, GO!  GO NOW!  You’ll find previous season collections from brands such as Bardot Junior, Monstar Kids, Albetta, Cocoon Couture, Polka, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh and Itch Designs, and that’s just a start on their full range of labels!  As I said above, nearly everything online from all of these labels is half price or below which makes for the most amazing shopping experience.

For anyone with a baby – or if you know someone expecting one – take a look at the Dimples range.  A luxe NZ brand, it has really gained fame over the last few years due to its beautiful embroidered details and the richness of its quality.  I confess to being a bit biased since both my babies came home from hospital in outfits by Dimples, but I really do think it’s exquisite.  While we’re over that side of the Tasman, make sure you look at the range from another NZ brand, Minti.  Super edgy, fun designs on great quality fabrics make Minti stand out from the crowd.

Tiny Threads stock so many of the brands we know and love including Cocoon Couture, Itch, Polka, Munster, Minti, Tiny Mammoth, Early Birds, Anna & Sally, Ouch, Huckleberry Lane, Dimples, Fiona Kate, Yunginz, By Rachael, Mamapapa, Love Mae, Tommy Rocket, Rileah Design, Knufflekid, Heavenly Creatures, Little Red Duck, Cot Couture, Mondays Child, Grasshoppers, Square Peg, and Tkxi Surf, all at between 25%-80% off, every day of the week.  What’s left to say?  You’re going to have a field day!

The prices below are valid only while stocks last, so get in quickly!

Woah! I’ve successfully come out the other side of Christmas with my sanity intact and my wallet, although noticeably lighter, is now ready for some much anticipated bargain time spending.

Modern Little Munchkins – www.modernlittlemunchkins.com.au is up to the challenge with up to 50% off all seasonal fashion pieces. Prices are as marked, while stocks last only.

Coco and Ginger, named after Aussie designer Saffron’s two little girls, features hand embroidery, vibrant colours and unique and limited fabrics. This summer, nothing is as cool as a Chloe sun suit which only require a set of chubby, dimpled legs to make them perfect. They are available in three colours (blue floral, pink floral and mixed floral). However, if your little munchkin has passed the toddler stage, perhaps you could indulge in a Ginger dress in either Yellow Batik, Orange Batik or Blue Floral. Heck – at the current sale price I’m inclined to take one of each AND the matching bloomers! LOL

Another Aussie label at MLM is Itch Design. The designs are unique and all conjured from the amazing brain of Jodi Walker. Currently, you will find some fabulous onesies which will need your close attention to see the unique patterns – breakdance and poodle doodle!

Breathe out! (I’ve found myself holding my breathe as I look through all the gorgeous items included in the sale – as if it will vanish if I fill my lungs!)

When I think of summer, I think of the water. Growing up, that meant swimming in our dam. As an adult, it finally means the beach! But what’s a dip in the water without some cool togs? Enter Tkxisurf , bathers with SPF50 protection that look great too! With my kidlets fair skin, the rash vests are a must this summer (remember, summer isnt even 1/3 through yet!). The Doves in Love set looks perfect for protecting Miss N’s little shoulders.

So what are your picks this summer? I’m sure you will find something in Modern Little Munchkins half yearly clearance – with gorgeous items from Coco & Ginger, Heavenly Creatures, Itch Design, Moppit, Tkxi Surf and much more, you have no excuse!

1. Coco and Ginger – Chloe Sunsuit (Blue Floral) Was $42.00 NOW $31.50
2. Moppit – Asymetrical Tribeca Dress Was $59.95 NOW $35.95
3. Coco and Ginger – Ginger Dress (Yellow Batik) Was $35.00 NOW $26.00 & Coco and Ginger – Pipi Bloomers (Yellow Batik) Was $22.00 NOW $16.50

Baby Bonkie, Babyjo, Bambo Nature enviro and baby friendly Bambo Nature disposable nappies in all sizes, Bella Tunno, blabla, Coco and Ginger, Earthlings, Eco Peko, Green to Grow, Heavenly Creatures, Huggalugs, Itch Design, Kideko, Lotus Linens, Moppit, Pram Rock, Tkxi Surf and WOTNOT and Little Innoscents skincare products.

I have never been been one to hit the streets for the frantic rush into shops in the first days after Christmas.  It is a phenomenon part of me would love to join in on, but I just can’t seem to tear myself away from all the fun happening around home…yummy Christmas leftovers, kids laughing and playing with new toys and it would be a crime to miss out on backyard cricket – would it not?!

So, if like me you’d like the best of both worlds -  the bargains AND at home summer fun – you can!  KidStyleFile is at hand to point you in the right direction of all the best Summer sales so you can shop from home.   My hot tip (or very hot tip I should say) for today goes to the delightful boutique Little Pinwheel – www.littlepinwheel.com.au.

All summer styles* are on sale now in spectacular fashion at Little Pinwheel – reduced by an incredible 50% off! *Please note sale does not include international label Nelly Stella, books, toys or accessories, and last only while stock lasts.

Hayley from Little Pinwheel has gorgeous taste and so literally everything from her summer stock could be listed as a personal favourite!  You will find premium kids fashion for babies boys and girls in this sale – there is a little bit of summer heaven for your little one no matter what their size!

For babies my favourites are the Rittenhouse Nancy Onesie, the Itch Design Pinwheel Onesie and just perfect for teaming with a simple singlet for this time of year are the Rittenhouse Spot Pilchers – little tushies just look so cute in them!

For boys I love tops like the Polka Lucky Shirt, Sudo Otis Tee and the Chalk n Cheese Charlie Polo. All of these three would go perfectly with a pair of Polka Skinny Denim Shorts – three sharp summer outfits just like that – how easy!

And finally today, for little girls my favourites are the mill&mia Ruffle Tee which I think looks great with the Heavenly Creatures Ruffle Skirt and dresses from Tiny Mammoth and Rittenhouse.

Stop the press: Cheeky Little Monsters – www.cheekylittlemonsters.com.au – is turning one year old, and to celebrate Sally at CLM is gifting us with the ultimate party bag: a 30% off store-wide code! This party lasts until 14 of December 2009 and applies to everything at Cheeky Little Monsters, even sale items already reduced by up to 60%. The magic code to secure your bargains of up to 90% is ‘KSFHB’. Use it now, and use it well, my friends!

Cheeky Little Monsters urban-cool kids fashion and accessory labels from Australia and the US, including Appaman, Beautiful Soles, Cocoon Clothing, Casatto, Eternal Creation, ForWalls, Giimmo, Itch Design, Líl Fraser Collection, Monster Baby, Mutsy, Noo Design, Pirouette Petti Couture, Sooki Baby, Sweet Peanut, Trunk LTD, Zephire Generation and Zoobie Pets – you are going to be blown away by how much you can save on these premium brands!

I think the gorgeously glowy night lights from Giimmo make really lovely Christmas presents, and they’re a steal at $44.95 $31.46. There are six critters in various colours to choose from, including a schnauzer dog, a stegosaurus, a panda and a lovely, goofy duck, so there’s something for every kid.  The lights are portable (great for those late night loo runs!) and rechargeable, plus they change colour every few seconds, and their limbs are fully posable – how cute!  They’re also magnetic, which means the kids will find a myriad of uses for them beyond a simple nightlight.

For fashion, there’s a real A to Z of hot brands at Cheeky Little Monsters, quite literally!  I love the looks from Appaman this season, especially the boys Lightening Bolt Polo pictured at no. 1 below, and the girls Wild Horses tee. And check out the girls Denim Snap Front Skirt, which was already marked down and becomes the bargain of the season at $65.00 $22.75! There’s even a good range of sizes still available.

Zephire Generation‘s current season collection is also very hot property, with some seriously edgy denim shorts and check shirts for boys, and a delightfully decadent shabby chic thing going on for girlswear. The whole range is marked down by at least 10% too, so when you add in the additional 30% discount, well,  you’re talking some amazingly cheap designerwear here!

You’d better scoot on over now – I don’t want you to miss out on the festivities!
