Own clothes Vs Maternity clothes

Today I thought I would blog about wearing my own clothes vs maternity clothes, as quite a few of you mentioned on Facebook that you would wear your own clothes for as long as you could and have a few key maternity pieces - thanks for the recommendations!

 I've found that some of my tops have been great, below I am wearing 2 tops I already had, particularly the denim shirt from Primark as it is a baggy fit and I wear it all the time, I don't think I will get a lot more wear out of the Ralph Lauren t-shirt I am wearing over the top, as it is a bit short for my preference over the Mothercare maternity jeans.


I have added the image below as this shows me wearing a maternity top from H&M's current season, I have it in spots and stripes and have worn them loads! (£7.99 each)


I've worn them casually at the weekend or with a blazer and heels for work and I like that they come much lower over the jeans.

 I'm wearing them with a JoJo Maman Bebe jumper I got from the eBay £10 bundle and my trusty Vertbaudet jeans (£27).

 As I say I think I will have quite a bit of wear out of my regular tops for a while and am just layering with lots of vests underneath to cover over the top of my jeans, but my jeans were pretty uncomfortable from early on so my faves are still the blue Vertabudet's and the Black H&M's that I mentioned in my other blog (£24.99).

 Happy shopping!

Spring Summer Shoe Edit

Image
"Sh, sh, sh shoe people" Does anyone else remember this theme tune or am I showing my age? I LOVED that show!  That's besides the point as this post is about spring / summer shoes. I know it’s early, and the weather isn't great, but I’m off on holiday soon so have been getting my ducks in a row and I have also found that if I see a good shoe at a good price and don't get them quick they often sell out, so here’s my edit of the sandals I think should be on your wish list if you need something simple, comfortable and stylish this season.   Leather weave sandals - ASOS £20 I lived in a pair of these when I was pregnant and because they were leather they quickly stretched and became unwearable the summer after so I was pleased to find these which are a little tight but still comfortable, so I feel they can take a bit of wear and tear and will still fit. I wasn't sure about the metallic at first as you can’t tell there are three different c

Holidays with a toddler and how IKOS resorts saved the day!

Image
We've now been back from Greece for just over a week and I am still pining for IKOS Oceania ! This post is going to have a little about holidaying with a toddler, a little about IKOS resorts and a little about my holiday outfits, hopefully some or all of that will be of interest! Be warned - my photos don't do it justice!  We booked our holiday to Halkidiki back in September/October as I was desperate to have a holiday in the diary, and I was super keen on this resort last year but didn't fancy the 5.55am Gatwick flight with a 9 month old, but this year was feeling much braver!  We booked with Kuoni , this is now the 4th holiday we have booked with them and we have never looked back. We know they are going to make the process of choosing and booking a holiday really easy and fun and we also know that when we get there the resort is going to be amazing. Kuoni also take care of everything, private transfers, car seats, travel cots, excursion bookings - EVERYTHING! They are

Last picks of the January Sales

Image
Having spent much of the last week awake, whilst our darling 17 month old is going through a sleep regression of mammoth proportions, I decided to make myself useful and see if there are any last minute bargains in the sales that we should all keep an eye on.  I've looked both for workwear and for summer wear, as if you have a holiday booked I would recommend that you pick up a few things now whilst they are cheap rather than paying full price the week of your holiday.  You all know that I am quite tight and don't like paying full price for anything and so sales time is my happy time, I have to say that I haven't had a huge amount of success this time around but that is probably a good thing as it is saying me some cash!  These are all high street and all available online in a variety of sizes as of today (9/1/18) ASOS  Red culottes - £10  I bought these and I love them! Thinking I will pair them with a blue breton or my new white and black Winging it top f
