Holiday Shopping Spree

Shopping at LittleLoungers.com

Peri Zisholz, our resident fashion consultant, takes you on a voyage of discovery into the intoxicating world of kids’ fashion.

Pack your trunk. We’re going on a trip.
Each and every month, we’ll be going on a journey through riots of colour, fabulous fabrics and breathtaking prints. We’re going to take one key piece and style it in so many ways that your child will have it locked in their memory as their favourite outfit forever more. We’ll delve into key trends, pull together outfits for every occasion and have a hoot while we play with the finest wardrobe known to Moms and Baby.

It’s the wardrobe created by Petit Bateau. Since these intrepid explorers burst on to the kids’ fashion scene, they’ve trekked around the world on their quest to bring us the most coveted brands imaginable. They’ve scooped up the highly-prized classics and sought out fresh, new talent.
Their mission? To hunt down luxury quality and exquisite design for their divine one-stop-online-shop. Their approach? To build a brand that’s rather like them; international, discerning and passionate about what works for kids.

So, I’ll be your guide. Hop on board while we unearth those must-have pieces. I’ve had years of fun pulling together collections as a kids’ fashion buyer, writing about the pint-sized gorgeousness each season and testing pieces on the harshest of all critics – my own kids.

And even they have been giggling with delight. Because whatever your style – you’ll find it here. You might yearn for kids dressing like kids. Or relish styling your very own hip mini-me. It might have to be cool or quirky, classic or contemporary, understated or in-your-face to ring your bell. There’s only one rule: it has to be the ‘best in class’ to make the grade on to this website. Now, buckle up, because there are styles aplenty to try on for size.

And who wouldn’t want to play sophisticated dress-up? Your kids can try cutting-edge, contemporary outfits, a Victorian vintage vibe or dial it down with geek chic styling; and all before lunchtime. Face it, we want them to be fearless and confident and willing to try new things. And while they swap between being pioneers of the park and theatre-going sophisticates – they are learning to do just that.

We’ll navigate through this exceptional dressing-up box. From the comfort of your own home too. No tiresome travel, no fruitless searching and absolutely, positively no tantrums. Exploring cherry-picked collections, served up in a place where we can browse and shop while our kids play or sleep. What’s not to like?

As luck would have it, it’s a scene-stealer of a season. This Autumn, it’s all about channelling yesteryear with some stunning retro trends. Boys and Girls can pick between looking Formal, Classic, Traditional in v-neck cardigans and wool pin stripe pants/skirts or working the uniform look perfect for school.
