Don’t you just love the great feeling you get from a new haircut, a new shade of lipstick or a new dress?  Often a makeover is a wonderful thing, giving us a fresh start and making what was already good even better.

Today I apply that principle to the store formerly known as Just Ripe.  Already a KidStyleFile favourite, Just Ripe have just had a makeover and have emerged from the chrysalis as the beautiful new Three Little Owls – www.threelittleowls.com.au!

All the best bits of Just Ripe have stayed: stylish and easy-to-navigate site design, flat rate shipping of $7.50 Australia-wide (and FREE for orders over $150), and the huge range of top labels on offer.  But the new Three Little Owls is set to head towards 2010 with even more style than ever!

To start with, there’s been a huge new shipment of Alimrose.  I think Alimrose is just gorgeous: vintage-inspired clothing, accessories and toys, and Three Little Owls stocks a massive range of it.  I absolutely adore the baby booties pictured at no. 8 below – could anything be sweeter?

New season Eternal Creation is also out in force, with loads of bright, cheerful and happy-looking clothes and accessories for babies and kids.  The great thing about Eternal Creation is that the clothes don’t just look happy – they create happiness by being manufactured completely ethically, way up in the Himalayas.  There’s a win/win if ever I heard one!

Perhaps the most exciting new brand in store is Mama Mio, the ‘it’ brand for maternity and postnatal skincare.  There are three products, variously targeting stretchmarks and saggy boobs – let’s face it, we all have to deal with them at some point! – and given that celebrities including Christy Turlington, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Lopez (she a mum of twins no less!) rave about its virtues, it’s a pretty safe bet for getting rid of those battle scars.  Given that my body is still recovering from having a baby two months ago, I can’t wait to give it a go.

To celebrate the new makeover, Three Little Owls are offering KidStyleFile readers 15% off store-wide until 17 November 2009. To score your discount, just enter ‘KSF15′ when prompted at checkout, and yes you can use this on sale items too!  Get your Christmas shopping done early and avoid the December rush.

I’m also loving the delightfully named brand ‘And The Little Dog Laughed’, new to Just Ripe – their crocheted blankets would make a beautiful addition to any nursery, and for mums on the move, the Fridge to Go Lunch Coolers are such a clever idea.

With winter now well underway, nothing brightens my day like finding new ranges at discounted prices to present to you all.  Today is a wonderful day, because I have discovered that Dimity at Just Ripe – www.justripe.com.au – has a whole heap of new gear in store just for our browsing and buying pleasure!

And to make things even better, Dimity is giving KidStyleFile readers 15% off store-wide until the end of June! Yes, that’s 15% off everything including sale items, and orders over $150 ship for free!!  YAY!!!  Just enter ‘KSF’ at checkout to get the discount – it ends 30 June 2009.

Now in terms of new ranges, there’s lots to choose from but here are some of my favourites:

There are lots of adorable new rompers from Albetta. I think the Bear one (below at no. 10) is too cute for words, and there are some gorgeous florals for girls in both traditional and funky styles. Albetta seem to use a really high threadcount of cotton for their rompers – the ones I’ve had in the past have washed up beautifully and they feel lusciously thick and soft.  I’m eyeing off these new designs big time, believe me!

Speaking of rompers, there are also some divine choices from Britt (see their Bear Face romper at no. 2 below), and I adore the Nurtured By Nature range too; their Cocoon Cotton knit fabric is absolutely delicious to touch and the colours are gorgeous.

But I think the most tactile product range here has to be from Infancy: their cashmere rompers are… oh, words fail me! Try to imagine the softest, snuggliest blanket you’ve ever felt, and then double its softness, and then you’re approaching something like the Infancy Cashmere All-In-One Suit.  And Infancy are also doing a line in sustainable bamboo fabric now, which feels quite a lot like a cashmere blend to touch.

Also new at Just Ripe are ranges from mill&mia, lots of funky and practical Walnut shoes, Bluebird & Honey and Books To Wear pyjamas.  There’s also been a huge new delivery of Alimrose, with loads to choose from – and all of the above is at 15% off! Sweeeeet!! Now go get shopping!

The prices below reflect the 15% KidStyleFile discount using the code ‘KSF’, and expire on 30 June 2009.

1. Nurtured By Nature Cocoon Cotton Multi Stripe Dress – Shell Pink, $54.95 $46.70
2. Britt Romper Teddy Face – Grey/Blue, $40.00 $34.00
3. Walnut Mary Jane – Ballet Pink, $29.95 $25.45

I have to admit something: I am not a fan of theme-dressing. Sparkly christmas earrings give me hives; licenced kidswear causes nausea.

So, thinking about ‘Easter Fashion’ I nearly choked on my Creme egg (theme-chocolates I can handle).

Thankfully, I’ve realised you can be cheerfully festive and dressed to impress, without the need for fluffy bunny ears…(though if you can’t resist, try the hip version: Rock Your Baby’s Rabbit knit hat, available at Baby’s Got Style for $29.95. Adorable!)

Nanny Pickle’s Bad Bunny Collection is so cute and cheeky it wins my vote for rabbit-themed clobber. Clobber, though, is a bit harsh, because this collection is made from supersoft bamboo and organic fabrics that are just luscious to touch, and come complete with important life lessons such as “Eat your Crusts” and “Don’t Run With Scissors”. Hehe! You can find the Bad Bunny at La Toriana from $19.95.

Cradlerock have a handy Easter section which includes these funky rabbit tees and hoody by Tiny Mammoth (designed by Beci Orphin of Princess Tina fame). How cool is this unique take on a gorgeous vintage print?!

Quinn Macool’s take on bunny prints is, erm, cool! From the cute retro “I Believe” (aaw!) to the “How To Draw A Bunny” tee, perfect for little artistes, you can personalise everything to your taste and nab a nifty new tee for only $22!

But if the only bunnies you want to see this Easter are of the chocolate variety, you could instead have fun putting together a gorgeous new outfit to celebrate:

Baby: Keep little ones warm and snug with a funky romper from Onesies – you’d be hard pressed to go past the simple and chic prints from Danish label Nanoou ($42, 0-12 months), teamed with this versatile, soft velour hat by Gertie & Me ($9.95) and gorgeous matching booties ($9.95; both available at The Hip Infant) for maximum aw-factor. You could also add a sweet little cardi like this one from Purebaby ($32.47 on sale from Just Ripe) for extra warmth and cuteness!

Little Boys: If Nanna’s going to be at Easter lunch, it might be wise to leave your rock’n'roll tees at home, and go for a timeless piece like this Wonderboy Stripe tee ($39.95, 6m-7Y, from Itty Bitty Yuppy). Work it with some classic denim (Munster Stovey 2 Jeans, $80, sizes 2-10; from Tiny People) and retro cool trainers – Adidas Country Stripe, $59.95, sizes US4-10; from Kido Store). If it’s cool, skip the hoody and go for a smart jacket like the Steve Mac coat from Freshbaked (on sale for $29.95 at BabysGotStyle). Watch out, ladies!

Little Girls: We all know how spoilt for choice little girls are now days when it comes to fashion – it’s hard to narrow down a party frock but this week my pick is Polka’s Black Birdy Frou Dress ($99, sizes 3-7; from BabysGotStyle). Accessorise with a slouchy knitted hat (Toshi, $18.95) and ribbed tights for a nice play on texture (Marquise knit tights, $9.95, both also from BabysGotStyle) - or try printed legwarmers scrunched at the ankle if you’re really cool (Huggalugs, $14.50 on sale from My Baby Rocks). Shoes? Yunginz Classeez ($59.95) are pretty enough for every occassion!

Please check individual stores for postage and delivery details. Always check the KSF All Current Deals page to see if you are eligible for any discount.

Easter is a joyous time of year. Its significance changes from family to family, but whether it be your annual reason to attend church or mass, to go on the hunt for your area’s best hot cross buns, or painstakingly bake your own – my neighbour does this which impresses me more than I can say! – to have a family gathering, to go on holiday, or to eat your body weight in chocolate, Easter is a special time.

Children at Easter time are often the recipients of gifts, and although these have often consisted of chocolate in the past, trends are changing.  More and more parents want to make Easter special for their kids without having to put up with the little ones’ huge sugar-fueled tantrums or clean up chocolate vomit!  And so the hunt for clever, stylish, non-edible Easter gifts begins.

Below is a small selection of my favourites for little people. A couple of stores that deserve special mentions are Happy Little Hippos, who have a wonderful Easter Gift section to make your life easy, and ShopHouse who have a generous 25% off a selection of Cocoon Couture beanbags – the designs which feature bunnies, naturally

Stay tuned for more great Easter ideas, coming every day this week – from fashion to gifts, to craft, we’ve got Easter covered!
