Babies on the Brain

So having to deal with the freak out over how much money having a baby will be. Not to mention the Obstetrician price but then everything else on top >_<

I've been researching prices and where to get items, researching new vs second hand on most things. It's the big items I need to hunt down for a reasonable price. 

But being nearly 18 weeks has been good. My bump is showing more and I have had family and friends lend/give me maternity wear, which is so generous. 

Here's what I wore to work the other day

Cardi - SES; Dress - Temt; Belt - Thrifted; Flats - Rubi's

Don't let my outfit fool you, as soon as those pics were taken I threw on my scarf and jacket and ran to the car. It's getting colder and colder here!!

Ciao :)

Mother's Day and Baby Update

Had a fantastic but busy weekend just gone, but thoroughly enjoyed Mother's Day here in Australia. Started off with lunch with my hubby's family at a yummy beachside restaurant in Brighton.

There I got spoilt with gifts, which I wasn't expecting as technically I'm not a mum yet :)

Cute ducky and picture frame from my Mum in law

Gorgeous rugs from Nan

Afterwards dinner with my family where we relaxed and chatted.

Here is a progress photo and what I wore to work today. It's at night so I'm a little bigger haha

I've been getting into the spare room to convert it into a nursery, which involved packing away a bunch of clothes and getting rid of some big cabinets.

Next we need to paint the room and paint the furniture white.

Am so excited to start decorating this room ^_^

Wedding Outfit - What to Wear

So I have my brothers wedding in just over a week and am trying to figure out my wedding outfit. Unfortunately the dresses I planned to wear are now a little *ahem* tight, so my sis has graciously lent me this gorgeous Sheike dress.

Now how to accessories and what shoes to wear when it is going to be freezing??

I was planning on rocking my nude sandals, but am not sure. Here's my options for heels:

Will black heels work with the blue? (mine don't have a red sole either)

For accessories I'm thinking of some nice chunky earrings with my hair in soft waves.

Might paint my nails nude, or white - yes no?

Then I need to think, clutch? Cardigan? Argh! So many choices.

At the moment I have to wear my big black coat as it will be cold, but a nice white or cream cardi underneath I think will help to break it up, or maybe a wrap..?

Any ideas?

A Day Out in Berry

Hi lovelies, been a while ^_^ but I have been up to usual family & friends catch ups.

Recently the hubby and I went for a drive to Berry as a birthday treat for me. It was a gorgeous day and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Might as well have lazy days now as once the bub arrives that will come to an end hehe.

Here's some pics from the day

What I wore

bump is getting bigger :)

Here's hoping the gorgeous weather lasts!

Maternity Styling

So feeling waaay better now I'm past my dreaded 12 week stage, and starting to show a little

It may be more of a food baby, but this one is stopping me from doing up my pants !!

I've been pinning some cute Maternity fashion, so hopefully I don't look like a complete dag ^_^

Based on this I will need to invest in a cute blazer, boyfriend jeans and maxi dresses, already started with some print leggings and loose style top

Also purchased my first Maternity dress also, so pretty

Any other key styles I should be investing in?
