It's Sale Time!

July. About the only time of year one can get almost excited about filing and visits to the accountant; when the full force of chilly winter days really set in and you really get wear out of that coat you've been dying to wear since you bought it in February; and, of course, when stores go mental with reductions on winter stock in order to make way for fresh new Spring goodies. I went to the Miss Shop last weekend and they had 40% off tops and dresses. 40%! We've only done that once, and can I just say NEVER again - it was full-on, to say the least.

Our final markdowns are done and dusted, and there are some absolute bargains to be had. We're clearing out stock at a rate of knots (do you actually know how to measure knots? I don't. I don't even like boats very much. And fish creep me out. Hugely.) Anyway, those among us who are into things like sorting and organising are having a total ham of a time restructuring the storeroom, which is almost ready for the influx of Spring stock. (You can check out a sneaky peeky shortly on our Facebook profile - just waiting on a few more discs of images to come through!).

So where are the good markdowns? Chip Chop tees are just $39, for one. And speaking of, wait til you see the new season collection, it's a little different but it's AMAZING...it's titled "So you think you're from France" for one.

All of our ediT stock is also marked down, in preparation for the new season - stock is pretty limited but it's also pretty awesome, especially when it's priced from just $59!

And some of the best bargains are on the GRAB page - all previouslty reduced stock has even further reductions, while winter stock is freshly marked down and ripe for the pickin'! I nabbed a Star Spangled Tank - just $49 down from $129.95 - which will be perfect for nights out with some dark skinny jeans and a blazer. Undertstated, but glam. And sparkly.

You might be sick of looking at knitwear in shops (really it's quite refreshing to wander into a store and see splashes of light, bright springtime colour on a grey wintery day, depsite there being no possibility you're going to buy and/or wear them anytime soon), but now's really the time to nab them - it's still gonna be cold for a few months yet! The Mimosa Channel Chain Knit is absolutely gorgeous - and if you live in a milder part of the country (ie, not here) it would double nicely as a jacket, not just a cardi. And for $99.95 (down frm $159.95) that's not bad at all, is it?

Little Frockers can go absolutely nuts - most kid's labels only do 2 collections a year so it's always massively exciting at end of season time because 1) the markdowns to clearout the leftover stock are always massive, and 2) after waiting many months, everyone is champing at the bit for new pieces to look at!

So, what to buy? Our latest newsletter contained some fabbo chrissy gift ideas to help you get organised in plenty of time; as well as outfit ideas for Little Frockers and party frocks for you lasses.

For bubs, cute gift ideas include the hugely popular Cuski Comforters ($39.95), which are a great alternarive to dummies or blankies. Essentially a little star shaped toy that feels like a soft face washer, Cuski sleeps one night with Mummy and/or Daddy, and absorbs the comforting smell. Then, whenever your little one needs settling, Cuski is there with the scent of Mum (or Dad), helping bub to calm down. Plus you won't have a massive orthodontic bill in 15 years time! We'd also reccommend the Baby Teresa range of onesies and rompers - in cute unisex stripes, when you buy one (and they come in a nice little gift box), another is donated to a baby in need. thus, you're really giving twice! Prices start at $29.95.

Little Frockers can look seriously cool this party season in pieces like these:

Itch Pacman shorts ($44.95) Um HELLO retro cool!

Knuffle Kid Prom Skirt ($49.95) part pirate, part party, these wicked skirts are reversible, unique, and seriously everytime we sell one, the next day we get an email raving about them! Especially cool for the girl who doesn't do pink!

Walnut Tennis Shoes ($29.95) These are so chic they came in mummy sizes too. Whether they're worn with jeans, a twirly skirt, skate shorts or a mini, they have that breezy summer effortlessness that's just so...well, cool!

Gabrial Saynte Tees (from $23.99) It actually doesn't get cooler than these. The prints are all original and they all rock! We've got a massive restock on order and fingers crossed they arrive before Christmas 'cos they are guaranteed to please parents and kids alike!

And party frocks? Look no further! Whether it's classic black or a bold hue, these little numbers will have you dancing til dawn, and leave some spare change in your evening clutch:

Blue Juice Spring Reflections Binding Dress ($89.95) the front is simple and flattering, and the back has a sexy deep-v with strappy trims. Plus, it's pink!

Mimosa Jewel Trapeze Dress ($169.95) for the fashionista, this is a really chic little piecew ith gorgeous beading on the shoulders. It's draped but not in an oversized, sack kinda way. Which is always a plus!

Sunny Girl Jewelled Dress ($69.95) I'm not sure which designer this is, ahem, imitating, but it's been emulated by heaps of fast-fashion labels this season, and it's easy to see why - the jewel detailing is gorgeous but not OTT. The Sunny Girl version is classic and easy to wear black, plus it has detachable straps in case you need extra supoprt!

Motel Olga Dress ($110) Motel is one of our most popular labels, and their dresses are so simple but so eye-catching. The Olga has miliarty-style brass button detailing, flattering cap sleeves, and a sexy figure hugging cut. Tick!
