Love Me Do

Has anyone checked out the Collette Dinnigan For The Australian Ballet range at Target for girls? I popped by on the weekend to have a look at the quality but the only things that I liked were the ‘Bounce Skirt’ tutus but they were sold out in most smaller sizes.

I just ordered one in a size 5 purely to be used as decoration as I am sure it wont be in good condition by the time she is 5 years old and I have a feeling she will be a tom boy anyway. 

People are still scaring me with their tales of how someone they knew was expecting a girl but a boy popped out, so time will tell!! 

 I ordered mine online as the store only had a 5 in the blue and I prefer the Antique Rose colour.

You can see the range by clicking here.

We had a busy weekend, including going to Geelong and also seeing my rather cute nephews in all their blonde glory.

How can you not love these faces?

I had been umming and ahhing about ordering this Marc byMarc Jacobs nappy bag for awhile now.

Merowyn ordered it and proclaimed her love for it and did the right thing and peer pressured me into ordering it but I kept going back and forth because it is rather expensive.

Then, I came across the shopbop Big Event sale and snapped it up with a discount of 20%. Hurrah. 

I am not a huge handbag girl but wanted something that didn't look like a standard nappy bag as I have not seen one that I liked up until now. 

I figure if I am going to carry it every day for a long time and fill it with dirty kids stuff, I at least want it to be cute.  I will take the luggage tag off though.

The tiered sale is still on but ends today so get clicking kids.

  

I recently found a stack of tops and blouses, folded neatly and pushed to the back of my drawers which I just assumed had gone missing for good.  Why didn't I think to check in the most normal and obvious place in the start?

This outfit is a comfortable and hopefully on the slimming side.

People think it is okay to comment on a pregnant woman’s weight, but let me tell you – this is the fastest way to get in their bad books.  

Saying things like “I have a new nickname for you, Tubby!” or “You are a teapot – short and stout” will not end well for that person.

I have put on a lot of weight according the scales (and my reflection in the mirror) but if my obstetrician isn't concerned then that is good enough for me.

I am still occasionally wearing heels, but only in the office when walking around, otherwise I am barefoot or in thongs.

Barefoot and pregnant indeed. Especially now that my rings are no longer comfortable to wear.

  

 In other news, I am currently green with envy over the fact that my brother Lucas (who is currently on a short break from his deployment in Afghanistan) is in Ireland visiting my sister Cat.

Cat and Mike flew my mum over to Ireland in order to surprise my brother. 

I wish, wish, wish that I was there too. It's not often we are all in the same country at the same time.

Check out that beard. I may not have recognised him if I was there ha.
