Tops for before and after baby - Nursing

At NCT this week we had the breastfeeding session and it threw up lots of questions about bras and nursing tops, and bizarrely I had actually bought my first nursing top last week so I thought I would do a bit of research to find some more that are stylish but inexpensive! 

 A quick one on the bra front, a very good friend recommended the Bravado, which you can get at John Lewis or Mothercare and are approx £34 each. 

 I went for the John Lewis own brand version about 4 weeks ago but can tell I am going to need to buy more before baby arrives or shortly after, they don't have them online but are available in store for £16 each. 

 H&M also has some great nursing bras at reasonable prices.



Seraphine have a good blog on how to choose the right nursing bra - Seraphine 

 Back to nursing tops, I was conscious that I wouldn't be able to nurse in a lot of my maternity clothes, especially the dresses, and many of the tops are quite tight across the bump, and so I thought I had better invest. 

 I bought these two:

 £7.99 New Look 


£12.99 New Look 


I have the one above in navy but it's not on the New Look site any more (is still available on ASOS), of the two the blue drape one is my favourite as it is more comfortable and more discreet. 

 I have also spotted these on my travels:

 H&M £19.99




Mamalicious at John Lewis £28



Love this skin to skin one from Vertbaudet £17.00


Asda - 2 pack for £18


Jojo Maman Bebe - £20.80


The JMB one is my preference as it is so like my pre-pregnancy style, but need to investigate the delivery costs for each of these before investing and check if there are any offers online, don't forget that Vertbaudet offers fantastic deals if you're a first time buyer!! 

 Any good nursing tops you've found let me know and don't forget old faithful eBay! 

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

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
