Today marks a turning point in the year for me.  Yesterday my children had their joint birthday party (Master A turned three and Master J is very nearly one) and from today I start looking forward to the next year of their lives – and right now, forwards means summer.

Although I love living in a cold climate where my kids are rugged up to the eyeballs every time we go outdoors, come August I start to think longingly of long, warm days and letting my kids run around naked. Nudity doesn’t work for every occasion though, so I’m having a wonderful time checking out all the gorgeous spring/summer collections arriving instore now at Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au.

Little ladies are lucky this Summer because none other than Zimmerman is branching into girlswear.  Check out the seriously adorable playsuit at #1 below: *squeeeee!*  Also check out swimwear from Seafolly and dresses and skirts from Peace Street for summer clothing with a serious funk-factor.  And of course she’ll need to accessorise, so browse through the Mon Tresor collection of extremely cute hair accessories.

Boys are in luck too because there’s a whole lot of new Munster – oooh, and I love Munster with its edgy stylings.  Then there’s Sooki Baby, one of my all-time favourite brands, also making its presence felt with repeating retro prints. Last but definitely not least is Bonds which in the last few years has exploded into a design powerhouse, and this new collection is the funkiest yet.

Finally, a special mention must go to Heico for the most beautiful lamps I’ve seen in ages.  Each one is hand finished and they depict charming, quirky toadstools (#3 below), elephants, rabbits, puppies and seals.

Now just before you start clickety clicking, read this important information:

1. Buy any Bonds item from Baby’s Got Style between today and 9 August 2010, and you’ll automatically go into the draw to win a $250 Bonds prize pack!
2. If you haven’t already, sign up for the Baby’s Got Style newsletter. You’ll be automatically entered to win a $200 gift voucher *every week*, plus the BGS team have just launched Sweet Treats where they’ll give away goodies such as movie tickets, toys and more throughout the year to their loyal subscribers.
3. For serious bargains, browse through the Sale Warehouse for up to 70% off!

Have you had a look around ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au – lately?

It’s well worth it – they’re having a big clear-out of winter 08 stock and there are some BARGAINS there.

Yes that’s right: BARGAINS! Big enough to warrant capital letters!

First of all, 45% off the entire range of Mill & Mia! That’s the best price I’ve seen on this extremely popular range, so snap ‘em up folks – they won’t be around at these prices for long!

Cocoon Couture is where it’s at for stunning nursery and kids bedroom decor. ShopHouse stock the whole range, and they have 15% off the lot at the moment! That’s 15% off the massive range of beanbags (which I LOVE), the book-ends and shelf stands, library bags, cushions, growth charts, the lot. You just can’t go past Cocoon Couture for decor; it’s gentle and whimsical with a slight Scandinavian feel to it.

20% off the Winter 08 Baobab range is fantastic as well – the Baobab line is beautiful in its simple, fresh lines and quality fabrics. I’m in love with the Baobab dresses, and their boys gear is just as lovely!

The last one I’ll mention for the moment is Mondays Child Pyjamas. Normally a pair of these top-quality PJs is $49.95, the entire range is now below $35.00! You won’t believe how soft these 100% cotton PJs are – I guarantee the kids won’t want to change out of them all day.

ShopHouse stock some of the hottest kidswear labels around: Annabel Trends, Baobab, IDTee, Kee-Ka, Lil’ Lana, mill & mia, Mondays Child Pyjamas, Oobi Baby – skin and hair care products (Bod and Eco.Kid), a lovely range of toys and decor pieces from Alimrose Designs, Cocoon Couture, Krooom, Little Chipipi, Look at the Wall, Mon Tresor, Little Kitchen, and The Little Experience, must-have accessories from Penny Scallan, PouchMISS and Rileah Design. They even have nappies (Moltex brand) and baby food (from Organic Bubs)!

1. ShopHouse now offer Express Post Australia-wide for an unbeatable $4.95 per order! And orders over $99.00 ship for free!
2.
