Outfit: the Shirt

I'm slowly getting back into my cheery self although it's been hard. Trying to stay positive. And of course it always helps with a little bit of retail therapy.

Outfit: Welcome Mr. Wang

I've been wanting to get hold of this skirt for ages, but I've been a bit hesitant because of the price.  Every now and then I get a reminder in my mailbox from Shopbop that it's been in my cart forever: Buy it already! So I did and it arrived a couple of weeks ago.

It's already a staple in my wardrobe and I love love love it. Worth the investment.

Outfit: Date Night

Hubby and I had our first date night since the little one was born. I was really looking forward to a night out, but also a bit apprehensive leaving the little one with the babysitters. Acting brave I got ready for our night out. The act didn't last for long as I admitted defeat and shed a tear or two in the car on our way to the restaurant. However, I did manage to have a really good time. Enjoyed the company of hubby, his brother and wife. It was like being back in the good old days, but much better. I'm lucky enough to have a beautiful son to come home to.

Boots from La Redoute, skirt from Monki, Blouse from H&M Maternity.

Outfit: By the coast

I'm trying to save up money for London which means no major shopping spree before departure date. I did manage to pick up two things before the decision was made though: ankle boots from La Redoute and orange scarf from Lindex. Full stop from now on!

Outfit: The tee

Being a mother may give you leave from work, but it definetely does not give you more free time. Those few minutes or if I'm lucky, hours, I get by myself is spent cleaning and tidying the apartment. As a result I don't give that much thought to my daily outfits, hence the lack of imagination. At least I've got my money's worth on the YSL tee.

Champagne and strawberries..

And non alcoholic beverages for the preggies at one of my closest friend's 30th birthday bash. There were quite a few of us actually. Must be the agething. But the lovely hostess had thought about that and had bought in non-alcoholic wine and champagne. The weather was perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, even managed to stay up until midnight. I hope the birthday girl had a blast. Browsing through the pics, it seemed like she did.

Watermelon and strawberries with the bubbly.

Some of the guest. VIPs; lovely ladies.

Tapas

Sweets for dessert.

What I wore to the party.

Had a minor outfit crisis as the dress that I was suppose to wear was seethrough. So I was frantically looking for something else to wear in my closet which really isn't easy nowadays. Luckily I had this maxi skirt that I just wore as a dress with a belt. Worked out ok I suppose. Crisis averted.

Confessions of a pregnant woman - week 34: Waiting for YOU

6 weeks to go (well give or take a couple of weeks). I've finally managed to hold my food for more than one day, which is an amazing feeling. I did throw up today, but it's been a couple of days since the last time so it's really a luxury. The dizziness is still lingering around and I basically need a rest in bed every second hour,  but I think I'm starting to feel it...the joy of pregnancy. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that I'm really excited to meet the little one.

We spent the last couple of days buying baby equipments and clothes, which has been pretty exhausting. And guess what, we are still not done. I haven't been sleeping very well so you could say it's been an extra toll on me. Nevertheless it's all taking shape and I guess everything is well worth it in the end.

Some days I feel like this:

Sweater from Gina Tricot, Jeans from Topshop

Other days like this:

But mostly I'm just looking ahead:

Someone else is looking forward to meeting the little guy too: 

Hubby signed the guestbook at Lindesnes, including the baby's name.

Confessions of a pregnant woman - week 30: Wardrobe dillemma

10 weeks to go. Some periods it felt like time stood still, but luckily it hasn't :-) However the further I get, the heavier I become. I've never carried so much weight before and I can feel it in my legs, back and etc. And the more weight I gain, the more difficult it is to find something to wear. It's weird how they only sell tunikas and such in the maternity department. It's like there is this hidden agenda where retailers suddenly want you to become "sugary hippie sweet" because you have a bump. Well, I've never been a tunika person so you could say that I'm having a bit of fit at the moment.  So my maternity wardrobe mostly consist of oversized clothing: plain said, normal clothes just in bigger size.

Here is a pic of me on one of my very few outings where hubby manage to kodak the moment:

Ballerina flats from DIn Sko, chinos from Topshop, top from Zara, blazer from DKNY, scarf from H&M and bag from Mulberry.
