If you’re one of the states who recently commenced the final school term of the year you’re probably feeling a mix of emotions: part of you is saddened that the holidays have come to an end, while the other part rejoices as you are able to reclaim your daily routine that you suspended to spend time with your kidlets. Perhaps online shopping is included in that routine? Need to get back into the swing of things? Well, here’s something to get you back into the groove in a flash!

Fabulous new arrivals from Penny Scallan, Purebaby Kids and Oobi have just arrived at ShopHouse – www.shophouse.com.au. Woot! There are a few happy changes to these brands; read below.

Penny Scallan have changed the covering of all of their products to a new wipe-able poly fabric. The plastic cover has disappeared with a more environmentally friendly fabric which, in my opinion, gives the product a much more stylish and sophisticated finish. Of course a whole range of new designs have been revealed too, including: Car, Navy Spot, Chocolate Spot, Pink Spot and Blue Spot Designs. They have bags for just about everything too: kindy backpacks, shopping, toiletries, wine cooler, lunchbox and so much more!

This season, Purebaby have introduced an exciting new range: Purebaby KIDS, with sizing from 3-7. Just as beautiful as the Purebaby range, but with organic cotton material and clean, classic lines. I’m absolutely taken with the Purebaby Kids Girls Pyjamas with their gathered rounded yoke and sublime colour palette. Which piece will you fall in love with? Perhaps the Purebaby Kids Woven Top with its cute spots or the classic Purebaby Kids Jersey Polo for your little man?

And then there is Oobi! I can never go past this label. Every single year, I pop over to Shophouse for a brand new Oobi pettiskirt, and this year is no exception with the Oobi Baby Darcy Ballerina Pettiskirt now in Hot Pink with Pop Dots. They always make the recipient feel like a princess. Of course the boys don’t miss out either, with 50s retro styled Oobi Teddy Kids Shorts and the perfect light weight top for our hot Aussie summer – the Oobi Kurta.

The Shophouse gals can hardly contain their excitement about these arrivals and are sharing their glee with a bunch of gift with purchase offers. Woot WOOT! Makes going back to school cool, huh?
