More black tie inspiration

I had the opportunity to shop around for more black tie outfits last week as we were heading to a charity ball on Friday, I ended up wearing the jumpsuit I referred to in the previous post (see below, can't believe  I forgot to take a new photo!) but came across some beaut's and some bargains so thought I would share.


The more expensive end of the spectrum has some classic pieces on offer if you need an outfit you can wear again and again to formal functions or occasions whilst you're pregnant:

 Tiffany Rose - £99






Seraphine - £295




Isabella Oliver - £151




At the other end of the scale we have the bargains, and the best place to find these, in my opinion, is ASOS:

 Isabella Oliver - £45


ASOS - £20


ASOS - £60


Club L - £35


Little Mistress - £65


ASOS - £25


I love the last one but not sure on the bra situation! All of the above are available from ASOS and if you have a premier account you can benefit from free next day delivery if ordered before 8pm. 

 If you choose to purchase at this end of the price spectrum it also means you don't feel guilty if you want a new one for the next event, I already know I might not fit in the one below for an event I have in May even though it is maternity and my size. 


(This one is still on sale from ASOS for £13.50)

These are just a sample and I highly recommend you browse, order a few, try them on in the comfort of your own home with every shoe you have available and then use the free returns to send back the ones that don't suit.

 We all want to look our best when we're pregnant and I've found some evening dresses make me feel like I'm wearing a tent! Make sure you shop around and try several on, until you find one that makes you feel both glamorous and comfortable!

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

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

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
