Though you may not think it possible (as every parent is completely biased and thinks their child is the world’s cutest), dress any child in Oobi Baby, and I swear there is an immediate increase in the adorable factor!

Oobi Baby is an absolute stand out Australian brand making it an easy favourite for KidStyleFile readers (and writers alike!) Oh yes, we just can’t get enough Oobi!! If you’re thinking Oobi, all you need to do is head to ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au – where the entire new Oobi Baby & Kids A/W10 range has just landed.

In celebration of new Oobi, until 19 March 2010, when you order 2 or more pieces from the Oobi winter range at ShopHouse, you will receive a FREE Cocoon Couture Library Bag (RRP $15).  Made from 100% calico cotton and screen printed with unique Cocoon Couture stories, these delightful multi-purpose bags are perfect for books, shopping, kinder or for outings to the park.

I am unsure how she does it, but designer Alex Riggs and her fabulous Oobi team keep serving up iconic pieces each season, delivering an adorable range of fashion from babies up to 7 years. And Winter 2010 is no exception: gorgeous dresses, shirts, yummy knits and chic swing coats  – this season’s collection is simply divine.  There is something really nostalgic about this collection for me: which has a lot to do with the beautiful tweed fabric used in many of the pieces. It is just so warm and gorgeous looking, I just can’t get enough!

For girls my favourite piece to start is the Tweed Bubble Dresses – I love it in ‘Silver Lilac’…though I love it so much, I could be tempted to have it in ‘Raspberry’ as well!  I also love the Puffball Skirt and my top pick is to have it in the ‘Starry’ print.

I think vests on boys are just so very charming.  My two little charmers always have a couple in their wardrobes for winter, so I am loving seeing the Fine Knit Vests from Oobi this season. In a choice of colours, ‘Charcoal Stripe’ or ‘Grassy Green’ they are an absolute winner: go with everything and perfect for a quick cover up of the tomato sauce he spilled earlier in the day. (Shh! I won’t tell if you don’t!)  But for boys, my most favourite piece are the Military Overcoats. They are just SO fine.  I love them so much, I’ll go all out and declare them my most favourite piece of the entire Oobi Winter ‘10 collection!

ShopHouse also have a fantastic range of Oobi Baby accessories to add the finishing touches to a great little outfit. You will find tights, socks, hairclips, headscarfs, bibs, booties and leggings all at your fingers ready to style up your new Oobi purchases. Shop on!

Gather in close, people, because I have a secret to share.  ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au – is having a huge sale, and we at KSF are among the very first to know about it as it isn’t being advertised to the public for another week.

We have the chance to sneak in early and snap up the best of the bargains, and there are some great ones to be had!  Unlike many other sales, there are great levels of stock too, so as long as you’re quick then you’ll probably even find the exact size you’re after.

Christmas time at our place is all about the boys. We have 3 gorgeous sons aged 8, 6 and nearly 3, so I am always on the look out for stimulating and fun toys that they will love and I will enjoy looking at.

In an effort to get organised I have been cruising the net looking for cool things to cross off the list.

My ‘nearly 3′ seems to be getting more and more active every day so first thing on my list for him is the truly unique Bilibo. Requiring no batteries and no instructions this is an open-ended toy designed to stimulate the imagination and improve motor skills (read Angela’s review of the Bilibo here).

Also on the list is the Oobi Hopper, perfect for bouncing out all the excess energy after lunch, some Pirates for the bath tub, and because he is currently in love with Spot the Dog, a few new Spot books for bedtime.

Mister 6 seems to be easiest to buy for this time, he loves indoor games and is a natural at making his own imaginary games with toys and Lego. This year I have a theme going on and it is all about Knights, Castles, Legends and Chivalry. Hopefully he will enjoy playing in these worlds and maybe one day he will grow up to be a knight in shining armour himself! My favourite finds are this castle these dragon stencils and knights stickers, and these Schleich knight figurines.

My 8 year old is definitely an outdoor kid – he loves sports – and is very into science: he is currently planning to be an ‘insect scientist’ and have his own ‘insect room’ in his future imaginary mansion.

I was recently chatting to a friend who is a Steiner teacher and she was telling me that at around age 8 they start to teach children construction and building things, which helps them gain confidence in their ability to become more independent. With this in mind I am heading off to the hardware store to pick up a tool box with some real tools and everything he needs to build a billy-cart or a box.

Also for my eldest son is this cute Dumpling Dynasty Explorer Kit, and “Blast Lab” Why Don’t Insects Get Fat?‘ – sure to be a winner based on the title alone -  a fact-book-with-insects written by Richard ‘Hamster’ Hammond from Top Gear Fame.

For my gratification our tree will this year be adorned with some new handmade and fair trade Christmas decorations from Lark, and under it will sit some cool vintage inspired Santa Sack from Cocoon Couture to hold all the loot. And because I’m a kid at heart, I’ve selected Eloise: the Ultimate Edition book just for me. Can’t wait to tear it open on the big day…

1. Oobi Hopper, Paperartzi Boutique – $29.95 $28.95
2. Alex Toys’ Pirates in the Tub, Ten Little Indians – $28.95
3. Spot Bakes a Cake, Fishpond Books – $14.99 $13.95
4. Active People Bilibo, Metro Mum – $39.00

6. Le Toy Van, My First Castle, Growing Brains Educational Toys – POA
7. Djeco Dragon Stencils, Where Did You Get That? – $12.95 $10.95

ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au – holds a special place in my heart, as it was from this trendy online shop that I bought my dearest Miss N her very first Oobi dress 15 months ago.  From there her collection has increased, with lots of help from Bronwyn and her crew who are always friendly when I ring and query the colours and material of their latest stock (thanks, girls!).

This summer, I have decided to incorporate a little Oobi into Master R’s get-up. I think I’ve settled on the Oobi Baby Yee-Ha! Check Cowboy Shirt. Fantastic dressed up or donned with shorts for the casual look.  The  Moppit Clown Face Tee is unique and funky too. I think that’s a sure shoo-in for a trip to Nan and Pop’s house this Christmas. Teamed with the OshKosh Vintage Hickory Short I think someone’s cheeks will get a work out with all the older relatives squishing them as they rave about “what a cute little boy” he is!

I simply adore the  Oobi Baby Carmen dress and have dressed Miss N in it for our yearly Christmas card photos. The eye popping polka dots on a scarlet backdrop with a stripy tie belt are divine.  The Baby Bloch Baby Ballerina Slipper look like the perfect shoe to go with it too!

Little fashionistas should also take note: ShopHouse is stocking Polka’s limited edition Mini Maxi Dress, the same style that none other than Miss Suri Cruise has been spotted wearing all over Boston, USA, recently. I recommend that you get in quick if you want a piece of this celebrity style, now available for pre-order with delivery in the first week of December.

If you looking for a stunning bracelet for your little Princess’ Christmas present, or perhaps a special gift for someone, then look no further than the Silverado child’s bracelet. They come in a variety of sizes to fit your little one, and have a large selection of silver and glass beads.

What’s more, in the spirit of Christmas giving, Shophouse are giving all KSF readers a silver charm and silver letter charm FREE with any order of the Silverado child’s bracelet. All you need to do is type in the charm you want and the letter in the comment section whilst completing your order. Also, until 30 November 2009, all KSF readers will receive FREE postage on all orders with promo code ‘KSFPOST’. Yay! What are you waiting for?

By now you would be well aware of Polka – www.polkakids.com.au – the sparky, spunky and superb label with it’s heart in sunny Queensland, and it’s soul in Scandinavia, mixing a sophisticated and psychedelic colour palette paired with laid back cool.

The dynamic duo behind the label Marika and Jo ooze individual style and beauty that you just can’t miss, and their clothes are imbued with the energy of this fabulous pair, resulting in an exuberant shout and giggle into the world of kids fashion.

A sign that Polka is now being recognised as a star brand is the fact that no less than Suri Cruise, the progeny of A-list couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, has recently been spotted (on more than one occassion: see below, and also here for a sweet pic of her in the the window of a cupcake bakery) wearing their Mini Maxi Dress, which of course caused the dress to instantly sell out.

In a tribute to Suri, and with respect to the individuality of all the other gorgeous little girls in the world, Polka have now released a special edition run of four gorgeous new colourways of the sensational Mini Maxi Dress. Due instore by December, you can place pre-order now at selected stockists.

Mums of boys looking for stylish gear don’t miss out either: Polka offers a great range of pieces to keep your little man looking and feeling cool this summer.

Have you stopped by at ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au – lately?  You really should – Bronwyn has really outdone herself with gearing up for the Christmas silly season, and has lots of gorgeous new products in store, and a fabulous offer too!

“A fabulous offer?”, I hear you ask. Well, yes indeedy, and it relates to our all-time favourite beanbag brand – bBuy any Cocoon Couture beanbag before the end of November 2009, and receive a FREE Early Bird or Sleepy Owl Library Bag. Nice one!

While you’re browsing through the all the Cocoon Couture bean bags trying to choose which colour and design you want – there’s so many to decide between! – make sure you check out the creepily cute new Monster Couture gear (a new offshoot of Cocoon Couture).  And I should also point out the Cocoon Couture Santa Sacks, which are sure to sell out quickly as we approach December, so get in quickly!

Freshly arrived at ShopHouse is hot brand Moppit, with some seriously funky tees and shorts ready for summer.  And have you seen the gorgeous Silverado children’s jewellery?  Silver charm bracelets in a variety of sizes to fit just about any kid you know, and a huuuuuge range of charms to collect for them.  What a great Christmas idea for a little girl – it’ll become a very special keepsake for her, and she’ll love choosing new charms for it.

I was also thrilled to see that ShopHouse now stocks Sophie the Giraffe – or Sophie la Girafe, as she’s known in her native France.  The ultimate teething toy and around since 1961, Sophie is made from 100% natural rubber, making her completely safe for babies to gnaw on all day long, and beautifully tactile as well.  She has a very happy squeak when squeezed, and looks so sweet and appealing that she’s bound to become your baby’s best friend in no time.  Sophie is a huge favourite in our house, I can’t recommend her enough!

I’d be remiss not to tell you that the famous ShopHouse sale section currently has up to 50% off top brands!  We’re talking OshKosh, mill&mia, and the little dog laughed, Baobab, Cuddlefish and Oobi, plus you’ll also find some Cocoon Couture beanbags in there marked down by 15%!  There’s a LOT to choose from in this section, and I’m willing to bet you’ll find more than one bargain you can’t live without…
