Today, Miki brings us part two of her special feature on clothing for little girls. See last week’s post for Part 1: Newborn to Three Years

Next week: OobiWatch roundup - Woo!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Well, the weekend has rolled around once more, so it’s time to relax, put your feet up and get your credit card out. That’s right: today I bring you girlswear part two, gorgeous, groovalicious gear for girls aged four to seven.

Buckets & Spades

To get the ball rolling, let’s take a look at the MASSIVE sale section, with up to 50% off, at Buckets & Spades www.bucketsandspades.com.au.

I had great trouble singling out items to showcase here, because there’s just too much cool stuff to want to whittle it down at all!

That sale section is HUGE, it’s MASSIVE I tell you! There’s every designer you can possibly think of in there - Fred Bare, Diesel, Guess, Gumboots, Two Belles, Tommy Rocket, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh, BIG by Fiona Scanlan and so on.

You’ll have to dig through the 53 pages of winter specials (that’s not including the summer specials section) yourself to find out who else is in there. Now there’s a challenge for you

So what I’ve done here, just because I was so overwhelmed by all the choice, is just to pick out my favourites of the winter coats. It’s that time of year when everyone wants to be rugging up, and there’s no more stylish way to do it than with one of these pieces of gorgeousness below:

No links because Buckets & Spades is a frames-based site, but the search function works well so use that to hunt down your bargains!

From top left:

Fred Bare cardy with fur collar, style no. 1845 - $88.00 $59.00

Just have a look at the brands they carry: Abe Jones, Edenstar, Mill & Mia, Finnegan Finn, Zephire Generation, Parisian Ballet, Willow and Finn… I’m not going to tell you all of them so that you have to go over there and see for yourself what else there is. Mean aren’t I!

Frock You

The Frock rocks, just no two ways about it!

I am a huge fan of Frock You - www.frockyou.com.au - and I think everyone else should be too. What do I love so much? Well, it could be the funky-yet-practical-and-cool clothes, the super-cheap-and-super-fast delivery ($5 for Express Post!), the great service from Kat (do you read her blog? Subscribe now, it cracks me up every time it hits my inbox) and so on and so forth.

And that’s not even mentioning the great discounts that Kat gives KidStyleFile readers: 20% off storewide with the My Child discount code!

Leave a comment on this post or email Angela if you don’t have a copy of My Child, she’ll give you the code just ‘cos she’s nice!

Are you sold yet? If not, have a look at some of my girlswear picks below:

Prices quoted include the 20% off My Child discount:

American Apparel Kids Zip Fleece Hoody, $44.00 $35.20 I love this range (you can get it for adults as well), the fabric is so soft and stretchy and it holds its shape really well. Great casual basics.

I also love the Kate Quinn organics range; lovely practical dresses for day-to-day wear, and who doesn’t love the feel of organic cotton?

Uh-huh, yep, I hear you!

Have you been drooling over the fab range of International clothing designers Itty Bitty Yuppy stocks, including Abe Jones, Baby Bean Vintage, Dirty Laundry, Eight3One, Finger In The Nose, KLT Works, Knuckleheads, Pink Chicken, Rock & Rattle, Tin Tank and Wonderboy?

Ooh yes: me too!! (I already couldn’t resist the Baby Bean Vintage dresses, and Fleurville bags, as I’ve mentioned previously, and have since pounced on the Abe Jones City park dresses — the quality is just stunning; they’re fully lined, and the fabric is some of the finest I have seen in a long time — all in larger sizes for next year: hey, I can justify that!!)

Well, ding ding! It’s time for me to go another round at IBY, and for everyone to get in on the act because Kim at IBY has just pulled out all the stops and is now offering 35% off all the above listed OS designers AS WELL AS Aussie designers!!

Yowza! How good is that?? (I just put two Pink Chicken dresses in my shopping basket: KSF reader Lena, you made me do it!!)

This is a general sale, so no code needed. Ends 22 June 2008, so motor on over there.

Abe Jones City Park Keyhole Dress $74.95 $48.72 after 35% discount

You can read all my previous posts on Itty Bitty Yuppy here.

To finish, a great example of Itty Bitty Yuppy products in action. See the beautiful little girl in the Pink Chicken Sasha Duck Dress – $82.45 $53.59 after 35% discount – (pictured here on the cover, and also inside of, LMNOP - www.lmnop.com.au - magazine)? That’s Kim’s very own daughter Ella!

I had previously thought that maybe the duck dress was more suited to itty bitty girls, but seeing Ella (heading towards 5 years) in the dress has convinced me that my 3.5+ year olds will look just a treat in it. (It’s the Queen’s birthday, so*someone* deserves a present right? )

Also, if you haven’t seen LMNOP mag before, here’s the deal: it’s an Australian online magazine celebrating the most beautiful children’s design products you ever did see. The content is the absolute height of everything cool, and the production values are superlative. There’s no aloofness here though; the whole package just radiates so much genuine warmth: LMNOP really has heart!

LMNOP is released quarterly and is free to download (it’s in Adobe Acrobat PDF format). What I like to do is open it, let it download (takes 5-10 mins depending on your connection), and then save it to my PC for easy repeat viewing. I recommend this, as I guarantee that you’ll find yourself wanting to browse it again and again!

Have a wonderful day, friends, and see you again tomorrow!

In addition to the previously mentioned clothing brands, Itty Bitty Yuppy exclusively stocks US and Canadian boutique labels Chic Papoose, Fleurville Kids, and My Little Seat, and the cream of overseas brands, including Baby Bonkie, Claesens, Il Tutto, Little Twig, Parisian Ballets, Sooki Baby, Tiny Tribe, and Zoobie Pets.

Welcome to the weekend! Today we have for you Part 2 of Miki’s ‘Boys Only Adventure’ (you can read Part 1 here). Today’s piece looks at what’s out there and hot for little men 3-7 years, and boy- oh-boy does Mik have a bounty of gorgeous finds for you to enjoy! Without further ado, let’s jump on in!

.…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

I have had so much fun this week prowling through gear for boys aged three to seven. There’s so much cool stuff! Have a look at the goodies I found:

Buckets & Spades
I just have to kick off with Buckets and Spades www.bucketsandspades.com.au.

Do you know, at the time of writing they have twenty-six pages of summer specials? And that doesn’t even include specials on their winter gear or shoes!

A lot of it is for girls, but there are some real gems in there for the guys, mostly at 40% off or more so you’ll be rewarded for sifting through. I’m talking about brands like Gant, Diesel, Guess, Fred Bare… the list goes on and I don’t have room to do them all justice, so you’ll just have to go and look for yourself. I’ve pulled out a couple of items to show you, but I’m barely scratching the surface!

And don’t forget that you can take a further 10% off the already amazing marked prices by using the discount code featured in this month’s My Child magazine!

No links here as Buckets & Spades is a frames-based website, so use the search function at the top right of the screen. Guess Sunset Beach Tee, style no. 9114, $49.95 $25.00; Tommy Rocket Insane Cowboy Tee, style no. TR 212, $34.95 $25.00; Fred Bare Summer 07 Shortall, style no. 4408, $71.50 $39.00.

Don’t forget to take another 10% off these prices using the My Child discount code!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

La Toriana
I adore the Eternal Creation range at La Toriana www.latoriana.com.au. Not only are the clothes stunning, but the business is family owned, ethically produced, based in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas and committed to improving the lives of local Tibetan and Indian communities - so not only do you get to buy gorgeous clothes at great prices for your son, you get to feel good about it too!

If I was forced to pick just one other item to showcase from La T (which is pretty darn difficult, let me tell you, as it’s all so beautiful), it would have to be the exquisite vintage-inspired Lazybones Sleepwear - just check out the picture of the Bobby Blue PJs below: says it all, really!

You can take another 15% off La T’s fab prices AND get a free gift using the discount code in My Child magazine! Amazing!!

Eternal Creation three piece set - long-sleeve tee, cord bootlegs and vest, $115.95 (save a packet when buying as a set, pieces also available individually); Eternal Creation Patch Pants, $49.95 $34.05; Lazybones Sleepwear Bobby Blue PJs, $39.95 $29.98.

These sale prices don’t include the My Child discount, so take off another 15%!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Baby Goes Retro
If your boy wants to stand out from the crowd, then make a beeline for Baby Goes Retro www.babygoesretro.com.au.

Baby Goes Retro exclusively stock a big range of Scandinavian designers including Plastisock, Danefae, nanoou and Katvig.

Check out the Danefae viking range (how friendly does that viking look? I just want to hug him!)

The Plastisock range is characterised by its veritable tidal wave of colour, and the Katvig scarf and beanie is just perfect for keeping a groovy guy warm over winter. Have a look at Baby Goes Retro’s full range, there’s loads to choose from!

Baby Goes Retro are really getting into the spirit of the KSF ‘Boys Only’ special features, and they are offering us a big range of boyswear with 10% off for this weekend only (10-11 May)! - Thanks, BGR!

Viking tee by Danefae, $46.00 $41.40; Striped green/turquoise beanie by Katvig, $17.00 $15.30; Striped green/turquoise scarf by Katvig, $17.00 $15.30; ‘Green Fairytale’ hoodie by Plastisock, $55.00 $49.50

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

5 Little Monkeys
5 Little Monkeys www.5littlemonkeys.com.au was a new one on me until just recently. They’ve just revamped their website and it’s lovely, so bright and cheerful and packed with great products and even better deals. They stock a great range of boyswear from Ouch and Wilkie at some spectacular discounts (up to 67% off!). Make sure you browse through both the Boyswear section AND the Clearance Stock section, as there are loads of gems to be found in both.

5 Little Monkeys are also participating in the My Child discount code frenzy - use the code to take another 15% off their fantastic prices!!

Ouch Boys Belted Knee Tuck Pants in Chino, $37.90 $33.95; Ouch Boys Puffer Vest in Khaki, $37.95; Ouch Boys Stripe Jumper in Grape & Charcoal, $29.95 $10.00.

And these prices don’t include the My Child discount - with that in hand, you can take off another 15%!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Itty Bitty Yuppy
I couldn’t finish this Boys Only special without paying homage to Itty Bitty Yuppy www.ittybittyuppy.com.au!

If you’ve already seen their site then you’ll understand why I love it, and if you haven’t then what are you waiting for? Get over there already!!

Not only do they carry some of the coolest gear for boys around, there are some pretty awesome discounts on a lot of it - who could possibly go past 35% off Australian designers’ new season stock?!

Brands with cool boys gear include Enfant Terrible, Mill and Mia, Moppit, Munster, Wonderboy and many, many more. I’ve shown a very small selection of my favourites below, but they have a huge range so do yourself a favour and have a look at the site.

The 35% off Aussie designers sale ends on May 17, so you have a deadline to work to for snapping up these fantastic deals!

Creepy Things round-neck tee by Mill & Mia, $45.95 $29.87; Transformer Classic Nigel tee by Moppit, $35.50 $23.08; Che Hat by Munster, $19.95 $12.97

Well, my infatuation with modern-retro haven Itty Bitty Yuppy - www.ittybittyyuppy.com.au has gone from crush to full-blown love!

I placed an order (an occupational hazard of this job, but I’m not complaining!), and I am well pleased with the results.

Taking full advantage of the 15% discount — enter discount code IBY628 at checkout to receive 15% off your purchases - ends TODAY! — I dived on in, and picked up a few thing.

They arrived the next day encased in cool-as Itty Bitty Yuppy calico bags. A very nice touch!

So what did I get?

Behold the beauty!

I purchased a couple of the Fleurville Kid’s Messenger with bonus lunch bag Green/Pink Ogo $59.95 (or Pink ‘Ogoditsbeautiful’, as I call it!) for when my girls hit pre-kinder later this year, and also Fleurville Kid’s Messenger with bonus lunch bag Chocolate/ Tropical Leaf $59.95, for a lucky little man I know.

These bags are so well designed and constructed. I love that they can be worn as a backpack (straps are concealed in the back pocket when not in use, and fasten with the most easy to use clips I have ever come across; spring loaded wire, not the usual plastic, makes clipping and unclipping effortless!), as a messenger via removable side-straps, or by the top handle.

There are also loads of pockets and compartments, which remove the need to fruitlessly scrabble around in the bag.

They are also made of a new, eco-friendly and kid-friendly toxin-free fabric called GreenLam (TM), which feels quite different to traditional fabrics commonly used for bag manufacture; light and very soft, but strong. Not to mention the fact that they are great to look at too (it just don’t mean a thing if it hasn’t got that zing!)

I also could not resist the Baby Bean Vintage Daywear One-Off Claire Tank Dresses $69.95 on SALE for $45.47.

Here are the two I got (’scuse the dodgy photog). I bought a size up so that they’ll work in multi-layered configurations over winter, and still fit when summer returns to our shores.

Note that each and every Baby Bean Vintage dress is a one-off: Baby Bean only make one dress in each print, so you won’t be able to get these exact prints, but there are lots of lovely other one-offs to choose from.

These dresses are made of a heavier gauge cotton, which adds to their vintage appeal. Love the pocket detailing: great for storing toy lizards, jewels, and lucky pebbles

Jump on in, the water’s warm

Here are a few of my personal picks to whet your whistle.

Abe Jones City Park Keyhole Dress $74.95 SALE $48.72
Baby Bean Vintage Daywear One-Off Claire Tank Dress $69.95 SALE $45.47

I am madly in love with these dresses! The Asian styling and colours of the Abe Jones dress are perfect to liven up the winter months, and each and every Baby Bean Vintage dress is a one-off; you won’t find another one the same in the world anywhere, because Baby Bean only make one dress in each print!

Wear these as dresses to start with, and progress them to tops over jeans, as your little one grows. Wear them in winter with long-sleeved tees underneath, for extra warmth and urban style. I just love double duty clothing, and when it looks this good, well, I’m *in*!!

Baby Bonkies Infant Swaddle Blanket in Butterfly Pink print $52.80
Baby Bonkies Infant Swaddle Blanket in Turquoise and Brown Geometric $52.80

Baby Bonkies; the name alone has me!! What a great idea these are, with their form fitting designs, 100% cotton prints and snuggly minkee lining. I wish these came in adult sizes! The perfect stylish pressie for mothers of newborns.

Eight3One 100% cotton T-Rex Onesie $32.95
Eight3One 100% cotton Birdy Tee $32.95

These are just too darn cute!! I love dinosaurs and birds, and so do my kids. These are perfect for little tackers and toddlers, and are sweatshop free, so you can feel doubly good about buying them!

How cool is this Spidee Tee $50.55, and Snake Eyes Shirt $72.55 from Wonderboy?
Look at the little man in the above pic: happy, comfy and cool! Wonderboy is a winner all round!

If you love multi-tasking products just as much as I do, you’ll be buzzed by Zoobie Pets $65.95.

Zoobie Pets are a plush animal, a soft pillow and a warm blanket - all in one! Zoobie Pets come in Cheetah (as picture), Hippo, Zebra, Elephant, Monkey and Crocodile designs, and are the perfect home and travelling companions.

Fleurville Kid’s Messenger with bonus lunch bag Green/Pink Ogo $59.95
Fleurville Kid’s Messenger with bonus lunch bag Chocolate/ Tropical Leaf $59.95

I thought we had enough bags, but I am clearly wrong! I love the design of these bags. The fact that they can be worn as a messenger or a backpack, is a massive plus, and the eco-friendly PVC-free fabric really appeals to me.

Rock & Rattle Mohawk Hoodzie $65.95
Knuckleheads Rockabilly Blue Check Shirt $54.95

This Rock & Rattle Hoodzie amps the fun-factor: it comes complete with a removable red mohawk - perfect for your little punker! If Rockabilly is more your scene, then this Knuckleheads vintage-style blue check shirt will be right up your alley.

Il Tutto Mia Tote $449.00

Dads, Mother’s Day is fast approaching. Gift your baby-mama with a present she will love you for! Destined to go on way past the baby stage, Mia is a full nappa leather zip top tote featuring multiple external pockets to keep things within easy reach. This fully-featured bag comes complete with an Il Tutto leather monster teddy.
