Stylish Kids: Alfie Apparel - huge sale 50-80% off

When it comes to great design that kids can wear every day, one of my very favourite Australian clothing brands is Alfie Apparel; my eldest daughter is so obsessed with her Alfie Apparel pretzel shirt that when it had a laundry incident, we purchased another straight away, and just bought a third in the next size up! We've found this brand to be exceptional quality and as every piece is 100% soft jersey cotton, your kids will never want to take them off.

My girls are almost-seven and nine years old, and these are the pieces that they have chosen from the current 50-80% off sale to go under the Christmas tree. These prices are incredible for the quality and cool design:

Tutu du Monde spider web onesie and cape

Do you remember the gorgeous Halloween-inspired tutus from Tutu du Monde that I wrote about here? Well a special package arrived for Miss 8 today and she was beyond thrilled. Sooo lucky!

In my shopping cart: girl's nautical summer outfit for Miss 8 from e3-M

My 8-year-old daughter has always been independent, and I've learnt that the best way to make sure that she wears her special clothes, is to give her the opportunity to choose them. When we're selecting from Bondville sponsor eeni meeni miini moh/3-M she loves to go through the lookbook and check out their instagram feed to see real kids wearing the clothes. Smart cookie, I think! Here are her choices from the SS15 collection for girls:
