And the little dog laughed - loungewear for babies, from Shophouse

I just received my lush little package, full of goodies by baby fashion label and the little dog laughed for tots from 0-2. I'm like a kid in a candy shop! Available locally from Shophouse, the entire shopping experience was just delightful, from the super-easy menus to the no-fuss checkout.

The clothing for my 'smallest' son (he's actually huge) arrived in next to no time after ordering, and I eagerly opened the package, and discovered each item contained in a reusable zippered bag. These bags invite all kinds of uses - I'll be carrying various creams for my little one in them. As you can imagine, I'm thrilled before I've even gotten to the clothing!

He wore the whole outfit today - it's described by Shophouse owner, Bronwyn O'Loan as 'loungewear for babies' and the concept is to buy several pieces to make up a basic ‘lounge’ wardrobe. We got the vanilla cream World romper, with cornflower blue pants and matching King hoodie. He's just so mobile these days and I have to say how perfect this kind of fashion is for babies and active toddlers. Soft and stretchy, the outfit moved with him, never restraining or limiting - he even had a go at pulling himself up to stand for the first time, a milestone I'll always remember - the beginnings of trying to walk.

Sentimentality aside, the colours are swoonworthy. The blue is clean and paired with a stunning grey trim or in the case of the pants, contrast stitching. Best of all, the outfit made my boy look well put together - co-ordinated, chic, comfortable. He's a kid who has gotten around in a lot of hand-me-downs from his brother, so it is wonderful to see him in something a little different.

My favourite for the girls is the tea rose tutu romper - this garment will be invaluable when the hot weather hits but you need baby to look well dressed. Pink pants with grey ruffled side stripes add a rare dimension - grey is one of my favourite colours in decor and apparel, but it's often hard to find.

I could go on and on, but I'm sure you're waiting on the nitty gritty - the prices. It'll come as great news then, that the rompers are just $26 (yes, even including the tutu design!), pants are $21, and hoodies $33. Shorts, tees, bloomers, blankets and the most adorable soft toys complete the range. You simply must jot over to Shophouse to see them!
