‘Tis the season to be merry! Nope, I’m not talking about Christmas, I’m talking about the post-Christmas sales!  There’s a lot going on at the moment, but one of the best is at Design Child – www.designchild.com.au – where top branded clothing is up to 35% off!

Yes, that’s right folks, up to 35% off (and in some cases more) brands such as Baobab, mill&mia, Aravore, Neige and Albetta!  You don’t need a code, prices are on sale as marked, so get in before everything goes because that’s bound to be soon.  (Note that the sale excludes Peggy brand clothing, and footwear.)

There are also some new products to check out: canvas prints from Sydney company Urban Nest Designs which are absolutely beautiful; peaceful, nature inspired, slightly Scandinavian looking and very, very stylish. There’s a stunning pair of alphabet prints included in the range (one for a girl’s room, one for a boy’s) which are my favourites.

Also new are Pediped shoes which I can personally recommend, my older son having had several pairs. They’re soft soled shoes, as recommended for babies and new walkers by pretty much every health professional out there.  The soles are lightly padded though, which makes it more comfy for little feet especially on uneven surfaces.  The uppers are incredibly soft leather with easy close fastenings, making it easy to get them onto wriggly feet.

So head over to head over to Design Child and make the most of the fantastic sale and the heavenly new products pronto!

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.

Move quickly: the goods are only available half-price while stocks last.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas at my place. The wreath is on the front door, the tinsel is on the stair rail, the twinkly green and red fairy lights are strung up in the living room, the hunt for the perfect tree (I’m a purist, no fake trees for me!) commences this weekend, and my search for the last few stocking fillers and Christmas day fashion ends here at Little Pinwheel – www.littlepinwheel.com.au.

There’s just something about kids in summery clothes. Maybe it’s the innate casualness of kids fashion in the summertime that suits kids’ playful natures, or maybe it’s that Aussie kidswear designers these days are absolutely rocking the summer style. Quite probably it’s a bit of both!

Aussie kids summer style is demonstrated to a T at Appleseed Child – www.appleseedchild.com.au – where there’s a spectacular collection of some of the absolute best of Australiasian kidswear labels.  We’re talking Itch Design, Paperwings, mill&mia, Monstar Kids and Little Leona, to name but a few of them!

Now this in itself is enough to get me excited; I love each and everyone one of these brands and their summer ’09/’10 collections absolutely ooze style and fun.  But there’s a whole lot more at ASC to get us frothing at the mouth, so just keep on reading…

First of all, Trish of ASC is giving KidStyleFile readers a truly enormous 30% off ALL summer fashion! All the clothing from those fantastic designers mentioned above, and more, is slashed by 30% (exludes footwear and already discounted stock). Enter code ‘KIDSAPPLES’ at checkout to redeem. You’re going to have to be VERY quick though because this sale lasts for just over 24 hours – it finishes at midnight on Tuesday 24 November 2009.  You have been warned!

But wait!  Just before you go mad filling up your shopping cart with goodies for Christmas, pause for a second and hear the rest of it because oh yes, there’s more to come: all orders at Appleseed Child receive FREE SHIPPING, with no minimum spend! And as well as that, all orders will receive a FREE GIFT!

Goodness gracious me, it almost seems like you’ll come out at a profit when you shop with Appleseed Child at the moment; and in fact, when you factor in the happiness that your beautiful parcel will bring you, I’d say that’s actually the case!

My… My… My Mini Moda! I’m getting right into the summer swing this weekend, a whole month early. So too is My Mini Moda – www.myminimoda.com - with a Spring/Summer collection that is embracing the blue skies!

My eye was instantly drawn to the Millie Melisse tutu dresses. Oh my! What a gorgeous collection of fanciful fairy, dance and dress-up tutus for your little girl. The Poppi dress really made me ooh and ahh! – it’s just divine!

Millie Melisse dresses are already reduced by 25%, but in the spirit of Christmas Erin at My Mini Moda has reduced them by a further 15% which is a 40% discount overall. Please use the check out code “MILLIE” at checkout to redeem. This discount cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

This month Lyssy May “Little Miss” handbags have been added to Mini Moda’s selection. They are all handmade and so very very cute. My little Miss N has just discovered the wonders of a good handbag, collecting lots of weird and bizarre objects inside mine which I usually find when Im rummaging through it for a pen during a meeting.  I think the Lyssy May Sweet Suzy Girls Handbag, made from dark blue denim and trimmed on the front with a panel of lilac spot fabric and a pink and green grosgrain ribbon will delight her, and prevent her from further mummy handbag trouble.

Poor Master R’s wardrobe is a much neglected mess as I’ve lately swooned over the gorgeous girl ranges for Miss N (check out the Willow and Finn and Elodie & Elvis dresses!), so to balance things out I am making a pointed exercise of checking out all the boys attire and finding items that will make me increase his wardrobe size to match. Mini Moda is just the place to get this started. I am a huge fan of  WOOF! And think the Woof! Check Shirt and Classic Chocolate Check shorts are an adorable set for a New Years BBQ. I’m also much taken with the Walnut Cruise shoes, in particular, their ease of wear – Master R will easily be able to put these on himself.

To make shopping for summer a breeze My Mini Moda has reduced all Spring/Summer clothing by 20%. To top it off all KSF readers will also receive FREE SHIPPING by entering promo code ‘KSF-FS’ at checkout (not available on Millie Melisse outfits). All offers expire at midnight on 30 November 2009, so get in quick!
