Ah, just how I love the day to kick off: some retail therapy which leaves me with heaps of change to spare, and plenty of  time to hang out with my kids instead of schlepping around the shops. The source of happiness today is the inimitable Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – and the event on offer is a massive sale with up to 50% off all clothing (most of the markdowns meet that waterline), plus a few extra goodies thrown in for luck, while stocks last.

Minihaha, anyone, or Woof!?  How about Tiny Mammoth, Moppit or… wait for it… il Tutto?  Yes, I thought that would get you excited!  There is a truly enormous range of sale items from all of these brands and a lot more.

One of the items on sale at 25% off is the fabulous il Tutto Olivia Clutch.  A dear friend gave me one of these in red (they’re also in cream and black) for my birthday a couple of years ago and it has been my constant companion ever since.  For a sleek Italian nappa leather clutch it fits an awful lot, such as the current contents: several credit/eftpos cards, cash (notes & coins), a pen, a box of sultanas, a matchbox car, a nappy, a travel sized pack of wipes, several crumpled receipts with notes scribbled on them, my mobile phone and my keys.  And it still zips up and looks fantastic!  I can’t recommend the Olivia enough to any mum who needs something small but stylish and containing all the essentials to just grab and leave the house with.  The il Tutto Bella Mini Bag is also on sale and I hear from friends who own it that it is equally fantastic.

Of all the designers in the massive sale, the one I just can’t get enough of at the moment is Tiny Mammoth.  Bubba Funk has a big selection in store, and it’s all utterly gorgeous: soft, practical kidswear with really quirky design twists.  Not to mention that every single piece of Tiny Mammoth is half price at the moment!

Mariana at Bubba Funk loves KSF, and is offering all readers FREE postage Australia-wide on all orders over $100.00  until 1 March 2010.  The code to redeem this fine offer with at checkout is ‘KSF100‘.  Nothing more to say: shake your booty and get with the funk!

If you want kids gear from top Australian and international designers at truly tiny prices (of course you do!) pay very close attention to what I am about to tell you.

Pass ‘Go’ and head straight to Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au.  Go there now -  * now*!  And when you get there, load your shopping cart full of anything and everything summer by ABCD Industrie, 3 Pommes, Catimini, Chalk n Cheese, Kandy Crew, Minihaha, Zephire Generation, Moppit, Tiny Mammoth and Woof! by Minihaha, and enter the code ‘KSF50‘ at checkout to slash a  massive *50% off* all full priced items by these brands!

FIFTY PERCENT! *Faints*

This deal runs only until 31 January 2010, and excludes sale items.  It pretty much goes without saying that you’re going to have to be extreeeeemely quick as these pieces will vanish before your very eyes at these prices!

I’ve already added my absolute favourite piece to my cart, this 3 Pommes shirt.  I also have my eye on the Big Scary Monster tee by Moppit, and these Zephire Generation denim shorts are the epitomy of vintage summer cool.  And who could ever go past Woof! when talking about boyswear? As a mum of boys it has to be said that often when searching through stores the boyswear departments are lacking.  Not here at Bubba Funk though, as there’s loads for stylish little men – thank you, thank you Mariana!

For little girls I love the hippie-chic Catimini range, full of bright colours and beaded accents, and 3 Pommes has a lovely vintage inspired collection.  Chalk n Cheese also does some beautiful girly dresses, tops and skirts, and Kandy Krew is exclusively gorgeous girlswear.

So much choice! Such tiny prices! What are you waiting for?!

The prices below are valid until 31 January 2010 using the code ‘KSF50‘.

1. Moppit Big Scary Monster Tee, $39.95 $19.97

Christmas just isn’t Christmas without a little shoe shopping! I mean what an excuse: there’s a bunch of Christmas parties to go to, Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas lunch….all these opportunities for a new outfit which will, of course, be calling for a pair of matching shoes. Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – is just the place for a shoe stop, (or an out and out kids fashion blitz!).

I am excited to see Czarque in the shoe rack at Bubba Funk. Proudly Australian made and handcrafted, these stylish little 100% leather shoes in faux snake skin, cow print, suede – take your pick – would surely give Carrie Bradshaw moment for pause. Before you decide which pair to purchase, have a quick look at the Samvara ballet slippers, Walnut, SKEANIE and other great kids fashion footwear at Bubba Funk – you’re really spoilt for choice!

Boys are no way pushed aside at Bubba Funk, with an enormous range of boys fashion up for the taking and ready for your summer holidays. I always have my eye out for some cheeky tops for Master R, and Bubba Funk doesn’t disappoint with some great examples from Moppit and Tiny Mammoth for starters. I’m rather taken by the Zephire Generation Blue Skies Denim Shorts: the funky pockets at the front are so cool!

Bubba Funk is also a mums Mecca, with an extensive range of Lucie Trinco’s iI Tutto bags always in store. Lucie was head designer at Oroton before launching iI Tutto, and she knows her stuff – a fact well known amongst yummy mummies and celebrities alike (name check Cate Blanchett). My hint: be quick – these beauties sell out so quickly at Bubba Funk with everyone rushing there to snatch them up each time they’re mentioned here on KSF. Maybe now’s the time to take advantage of Christmas and provide your partner with a few helpful hints about the perfect gift??

Mariana from Bubba Funk is a KSF Christmas Angel this holiday season, slashing a whopping 20% off store wide (including sale stock reduced by up to 70% off: yup, you can snatch up some goodies for up to 90% off with your KSF code!!) and offering free gift wrapping right up to 25 December 2009. Just use the code ‘kids20′ at checkout and do a happy dance: you’re super smart and you’ve saved a bundle!

1.  Moppit Skull T-Shirt $39.95 less 20% = $31.95

What are your kids going to wear on Christmas Day?  I don’t know about you, but I love picking out lovely new outfits for mine each year. (Granted they’re probably too young to care what they’re wearing, but it certainly makes me happy to see them so beautifully dressed!)

This year, I didn’t have anything in particular in mind… until I heard about the massive pre-Christmas fashion sale at Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au.

I’ll bet you can find something perfect for the Christmas Day outfits amongst this wonderful selection. For my boys, I’ve fallen madly in love with this 3 Pommes shirt and this 3 Pommes tee – now seriously, how adorable are they?  And for little girls I think the Chalk N Cheese Yellow Linen Tulip Knot Dress is just exquisite. Behold the beauty below!

Whether you’re preparing for a new baby or changing your baby’s nursery into a ‘big kid’s room’, it can be really difficult to find furniture that you – and they – like.

After all, furniture is a big investment at any time, and with children it’s important to find pieces that will grow with them.  To this end I’ve rounded up some of my favourite brands and lines available in Australia, all items which look fantastic and are designed to last for the long haul.

If you want something to jazz up the kids’ rooms but can’t afford to splash out too much, bean bags are jut the thing.  They’re relatively inexpensive, plus you can get them in a huge range of stunning designs – see Cocoon Couture and Missi Missi for some ideas – and kids absolutely adore them.

It’s also worth mentioning that Metro Mum currently have 10% off their large and extremely stylish furniture range, and that the furniture prices shown on their site includes shipping.  Enter ‘FUR609′ at checkout to get the 10% discount.

If you’re after something with a real ‘wow’ factor, head to Miss Tati & Friends as you’re bound to find it there!  Whether you’re shopping for a budding pirate, surfer or princess, there’s something there which is bound to make you ooh and aah.

Here are some of my favourites – see the links below for where to buy them.

Hi, my name’s Miki and I’m a self-confessed kids’ shoe addict.

I’m not alone: KSF readers Jodi and Melanie recently requested a post on shoes and boots for little feet, and I am more than happy to oblige! (In fact, I have been wanting an excuse to sit down and hunt out some awesome little shoes as my son (nearly two) has just grown out of his last pair of Pedipeds and his Walnuts are still too big for him – and that’s not as rude as it sounds!)

So, where to begin?  Well, with winter approaching it seems sensible to look for boots – after all, we mums love to wear our boots in winter so who’s to say that the kids don’t too?  Luckily there are boots galore in all sorts of sizes to suit all sorts of ages, and both girls and boys.  Have a look at the image collage below for some of my faves.

Sneakers are always a goer regardless of your child’s age or gender.  Take them anywhere, do anything in them; they can be teamed with the girliest of tutus or the most macho jeans and shirts you can imagine.  I think every child should have at least one or two pairs of sneakers!

Don’t forget that babies and young toddlers should be in soft-soled shoes until several months after walking has been established. Plenty of research shows that babies’ feet develop best when they learn to walk barefoot, and soft soled shoes are a good alternative where bare feet just aren’t practical.  The soft little leather shoes from brands such as Robeez, Star Child, Beautiful Soles and Skeanie are also great for protecting crawlers’ feet.

Well without further ado, here are my picks for the cutest kids’ shoes and boots this season! Enjoy!

WOW! When Mariana at Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – goes on the hunt for hot new products she always turns up some crackers!

Have a look at some of the new brands she has arriving in store as we speak: Samvara Kids is a fantastical blend of princess and cowboy chic, with uber trendy boots and oh-so-girly tutus combining to create a look that any girl would cheerfully sacrifice her My Little Ponies to achieve.

Chalk n Cheese is another lovely one. Proudly manufactured in Melbourne, thus supporting local industry, these products are designed to go into a washing machine and coming out looking brand new every time – and if that isn’t a mother’s dream then I don’t know what is! I’m really loving the Girls Coat in Chocolate; I can’t think of a snugglier, more stylish way of keeping a little girl warm this winter.

There’s also new stock from Tiny Mammoth, Marquise and Heavenly Creatures, and Mariana tells me that she’s had a waiting list as long as her arm for the Moppit Bluey Jeans to arrive: well you can all hurry in and snap them up as they have finally arrived!
