I love how cosy this babygrow is. It’s made of a lovely terry-toweling material, that gives it a smart-casual feel. Perfect for our outing to the estate agents this afternoon. The exact same details go into the Ralph Lauren baby clothes as you’d expect for the adult clothing. Ralph Lauren signature Pony embroided logo to the left chest and embossed pearlised button placket to the front. This baby grow also has a hood to the back, as well as popper fastening on the legs.

A little while ago I wrote this post >> Wonderful package from The Essential One. I’d received a lovely package from the lovely people at The Essential One; I was touched by the lovely thoughtful note and blown away by the incredible packaging. They really do go the extra mile with making sure their customers feel loved! And that scent…ahhh, the amazing packaging is even filled with their signature ‘just washed baby’ scent. SO GOOD. But more to the point, I was really impressed with the look and feel of the clothing.
After a quick first-time wash I added the bag of three babygro’s to my hospital bag ready for Baby Eli’s arrival. I always wash any new clothes before Eli wears them – it was great to see that the Essential One pieces washed so nicely. They came out of the wash so soft and snuggly! Unfortunately however, Eli was a little on the small side (much to EVERYONE’s surprise!) so he didn’t fit into the babygro’s as a newborn 🙁
This week however, Eli now weighs 9lb 11oz and fits perfectly into them and I just had to share!

I’m a huge fan of independent businesses and would definitely encourage you to support The Essential One! Their clothing is just so scrummy and perfect for your baby or for gifts for your loved ones! Take a look TheEssentialOne.com
For my day job career I set up and manage all digital communities for a high-end British Fashion retailer. My life literally revolves around Facebook and Twitter (as well as Insta.gram, Pinterest, Foursquare, Youtube, Vimeo, hell, even Google+!). My friends will cite me as a “Social Media guru”, I’m modest… but I’d prefer to refer to myself as a “Social Assassin”.
Alas, I digress.
My best friends went away to Paris recently (and came back ENGAGED! YES!) but more importantly they also brought back this amazing baby grow for us! I had wondered how long it would be before the Social Media slogan/graphic tee’s and vest’s would be handed over… 😉
We haven’t yet decided whether we’ll be signing up Baby Boy bump to the Social sites… what are your thoughts? Yes or no?
Table at Babylon restaurant, Kensington Roof Gardens.
On Saturday of last week (9th June), I was whisked off to Kensington for lunch with my best friends at Babylon, Kensington Roof Gardens. The restaurant and garden’s were absolutely amazing… there were real-life flamingo’s in the gardens! On the ROOF, in Kensington! Crazy!
When I arrived at the restaurant I called my friends and they came and met me at the reception and lead me to our table. They’d decked the table out with ‘Baby Shower’ banners and presents! What a lovely surprise!
I thought I’d share the lovely gifts that they got us 😀
Scrummy cupcakes from Whole Foods.
We're massive fans of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar", so this amazing box has taken pride of place in the nursery!
Lots of presents! Lots of essentials 🙂
Beautiful gifts from The Little White Company.
Absolutely adore this super-soft bunny rabbit and elephant rattle from The Little White Company!
Considering that our little babbit is due on the day the London Olympics 2012 being (that’s 27th July 2012 for anyone who has been living under a rock), we’d been searching for a little ‘momento’ to mark the, well, momentous occasion!
We’d been looking at the John Lewis ‘Olympic Shop’ in both Westfield Stratford City and in Bluewater, Kent. We wanted something for our Baby boy that we could keep forever… but something that would also be useful! All of the toys are for 3 years+ (?!!!) so that went straight out of the window, as did pens and keyrings… we wanted something for HIM.
Then we went shopping at Bluewater in Kent for the first time this weekend and had another rummage around the ‘Olympic Shop’. Then we came across a display unit with lots and lots of Baby Grow’s! PERFECT! We saw the Baby Team GB Baby Grow, above, and could not resist. It’s the absolute perfect keepsake! It’s a definite contender for the ‘coming out of hospital’ outfit. Especially if he is born on his due date of 27th July!
You can purchase this brilliant Baby Grow by clicking here, and heading to JohnLewis.com!
Has anyone else joined in the Olympic fun with their soon-to-arrive Olympic Baby(s)?
This week we received a wonderfully packaged parcel from the lovely people over at The Essential One. We’ve been looking in depth at what we need to include in our Hospital Bag (of which I should have had sorted this week, whoops!). One of the essentials that top’s the list to include is of course New Born sleepsuits/baby grows, so we were over the moon when this set of 3 arrived! I cried when I open the outer packaging, how nice is the little note that came with it?! I was touched!
I firstly just want to point out the detail that The Essential One go to with their packaging… everything is beautifully wrapped in their signature tissue and stamped firmly closed with logo stickers. The one other thing you cannot mistake when opening their parcels is the incredible ‘just washed baby’ scent! Absolutely amazing! Our living room filled with this intoxicating just-out-of-the-bath scent, which has made us even more inpatient for our little babbit to arrive! We can’t wait to recreate the smell for real.
So what was in the package then? A set of 3 incredibly soft and cute Baby Grows, that come in a self fabric drawstring bag! The extra bag is going to be so useful. I intend on using it with my changing bag, for additional clothing that we might need on a daily basis! Can’t get over how luxuriously soft the cotton is on these sleepsuits – absolutely perfect for our new born son’s skin. There’s also poppers down each leg for ease of nappy changing.
We're mad on stripes - so this Baby Grow is perfect! The pretty Essential One branding is appliquéd to the back of all three sleepsuits. A nice touch.Love this cute printed sleepsuit!Really sweet baby grow with the signature bunny logo to chest and leg.
You can purchase every Essential you’ll need for your New Born (and upwards) from TheEssentialOne.com Once you’ve had a look, you’ll be hooked! Of course, all of the essentials will also make really nice gifts for expecting parents too!
Actually cannot wait to use these sleepsuits – they’re the first things we’ve got for our Hospital Bag (must must must sort this week!) so we’re really excited:D Not long now!
