From wee little babes up to 7 years, there is so much fashion on offer in this sale from ShopHouse – it is really is like chasing down your own little leprechaun! There are lots of lush items for babies from top selling brand Purebaby. A simple long sleeve tee is a must for this time of year. I like the  Floral Woven L/S Tee for girls and the equally cute Grey Marle with Dog L/S Tee for little boys.  For older boys I love the Moppit Carlo Jeans. And how about some Polka Liquid Leggings for making your little ladies legs very snazzy indeed?

With Oobi on sale, my favourite finds of today simple wouldn’t be complete without a number of Oobi pieces! I love the Tunic Top ‘Starry’ on sale for only $24.95. If the gorgeous print doesn’t win your over immediately (like it did me!), just wait till you lay eyes on the super sweet back, which is pictured below. I also love the Military Overcoat in Navy Cotton Drill which is listed at ShopHouse for the bargain price of $49.95. As a  current season Oobi favourite, the saving on this item alone is worthy a big toothy grin!

Brrrr…. the cold front that blew in over the weekend is chilling my bones which can only mean one thing! Winter? Well yes, but I was thinking NEW WARDROBE! I know, I know, I picked up a few things here and there for the kidlets in previous weeks, but the colder weather has made me think that a few warm extras are needed.

Who better to convince me than the ladies at  ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au who have opened the hatches and declared it Mid Season Sale time. With 50% off Mill + Mia and OshKosh;  40% off Moppit, Polka, and Chalk n Cheese;  20% off Baby Bloch, Bonds, Pure Baby, Three Little Trees, Snugglebum PJs and  David Fusseneger Blankets; and 15% off Oobi, now is the perfect time to embrace the colder weather and stock up on some of those winter staples (and luxuries).

I know many of our readers have been watching, breath held, to see Oobi mentioned on our posts with a nice little discount attached. If you are one of those mentioned, breathe easy, here is a cure for Mondayitis especially for you – ShopHouse have discounted their entire Oobi collection!! With a birthday party held outside just around the corner I’m tossing up between the Oobi Baby Smock Dress – Silver Grey and the Oobi Baby Darcy Ballerina Pettiskirt – Starry Night Navy for Miss N. I’m already sold on the funky Oobi Baby British Tweed Trousers for my little man, with the Oobi Baby Fine Knit Vest – Charcoal Stripe added to provide a preppie look. Oobi-licious regardless!!

Moppit is selling out fast at a crazy 40% off. Today is the day to pick up some of the latest long sleeve winter tees for under $24.00 a piece.  I’ve found Moppit to be hard wearing as well as stylish. My fussy Master R is always happy to don one of the super cool prints and the jeans always last more than one season! What’s more, just like Oobi they are designed right here in Australia!

The “sale” category is yet to be populated  with these bargains, so you are in for an ‘insider’ hint – head over to ShopHouse and search your favourite brands for your picks. Sale ends midnight 1 June 2010, so quick quick, stop reading and head over before it’s gone!

Mother’s Day is fast approaching.  My children are still too young to organise anything themselves, and my husband – how do I put this nicely? – well he needs a bit of ‘nudging’ in the presents department.  If I want to wake up on the day with a present I can genuinely enthuse and rave about, then I had better leave a list of things I really want lying around somewhere obvious.

In case your situation is anything like mine, I’ve compiled a list that you might like to leave on the kitchen bench or the drivers seat of your husband’s car. Or go one better and just buy something yourself!  I don’t think anyone would disagree that you deserve it

5. Milk Band Nursing Bracelet, $8.95 at Bubba Funk – Because who can remember which side they last fed on when they were up all night? This takes the guessing out of it, and thereby helps to keep up your milk supply.

What could be more delicious than a store fully stocked with winter goodies just when the clouds are starting to blow in across the sky? Perhaps one that is stocked with the *entire* Oobi collection? One that includes Chalk N Cheese and Moppit? Geez, I almost  feel like doing a little Polka! today as I welcome ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au – into a new season.

Oobi should have a disclaimer: “WARNING: Once viewed, you WILL want the entire collection”. Each season I anxiously wait for the release of the latest range so I can pounce, and each time I seem to end up at Shophouse. The site is so easy to navigate, and of course with the entire Oobi range at my perusal, I find myself negotiating with myself over which pieces are “must haves” (such as the Oobi Baby Raincoat Jacket -whale, for those drizzly days) and the “special occasion” pieces (such as Oobi Baby Darcy Ballerina Pettiskirt – Starry Night Navy). I actually find myself returning every so often to add to Miss N’s collection, there are so many pieces beckoning to be included in her winter wardrobe. So heed the warning – you *will* want it all!!

Chalk n Cheese proudly manufacture their range in Melbourne and boast an array of delightful dresses that promise to take you back to the ‘wonder years’ when you played cricket in your driveway, put cards in your bikes wheel spokes to create an engine noise, and spent your time outdoors. The label is colourful and playful – perfect for cheering up dreary grey days!! For a splash of colour, and a little Audrey Hepburn inspiration, try the Chalk n Cheese Tiffany Dress  in Apple with sizing from 2-8.

But wait, there is more! The Shophouse shelves are bursting with new arrivals! Polka is hot on my list as well. All eyes are on the Polka Mod Pod Knitted Dress which, teamed with boots, makes me “feel like dancing”! Don’t you think? Don’t forget to check out the new items from Moppit, Pure Baby and Bobble Art, and don’t miss the super bargains up to 75% off in the sale section (Osh Kosh items reduced down to as little as $7.98 a piece, anyone?).

From now until midnight on Sunday 18 April, all KSF readers will receive FREE shipping on all orders at ShopHouse. All you have to do is type in  Promo Code ‘KSFPOST1‘  (all in uppercase) at checkout to feel the love. Lap it up!

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!
