<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">I know, I know, it's been months since my last post. Unintentionally, I deserted you, like a bad boyfriend or a dodgy friend; like a fart in the fog! In September, I gave birth to my beautiful daughter Bea and have little time to prance in front of the camera and indulge in myself. Life with two kids is very busy, I'm chasing my tail in a bid to keep my head afloat. For now, a break is in order as I concentrate on just being mum and maybe I will come back to you soon, never say never...</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">In the meantime, I promised a dear friend of mine (Kymmmmy, organiser extraordinaire) that I would come out of my sartorial hole to bring you news of a very special event happening this very weekend at <a href="http://www.ripponleaps.vic.edu.au/" target="_blank">Ripponlea Primary School</a>. The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ripperfete" target="_blank">Ripper Fete</a> is sure to please with a bevy of attractions for everyone, one little attraction raised my eyebrows...</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Ever wanted to peak through a stylists wardrobe? Well at the Ripper Fete Vintage Boutique you can. Local stylist Bec Cole has raided hers and you can buy it all. Think labels like Marc Jacobs, DVF, Anna Sui, Scanlon & Theodore, Sass & Bide, Cacharel, Gorman, Karen Walker, Kate Sylvester, Ted Baker and much much more. Doors open at 10.30am, don't miss out. Now that is worth getting out of a sartorial hole surely? </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These days I rarely go into an actually shop and buy a new item of clothing, unless it's an op shop (I really need to do a post on my recent op shop purchases, many bargains had) 1. I now have no time more than ever to shop (shopping with a new born is both challenging and non productive!) 2. The lure of online shopping is both convenient and cost effective. However, the other day I went on a wee shopping spree armed with a voucher that had been burning a hole in my pocket. I bought this pretty top from <a href="http://www.seedheritage.com/" target="_blank">Seed</a>, it was $110! I know, normally I could get a whole outfit for that with money to spare but it is very pretty and will go with just about anything. Sometimes it also nice to shop the old school way even if I may break the bank! </span></div>

Last Thursday was Oakes Day at Flemington Racecourse. My family and I put on our glad rags for a day of champagne, fun and frolics. Each year we attend our main mission is to some how make it into <a href="http://www.races.com.au/melbourne-cup/fashion/birdcage/" target="_blank">The Birdcage</a> without a ticket. This <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sleekit" target="_blank">Sleekit</a> (every wondered how I got my name?) task requires, determination, balls, no shame and endurance! Once the bubbles start to flow, the Glasgow banter kicks in and before you know it, boom, we are in, mixing with the privileged, stars of TV and the fashion glitterati. Oh the hilarity!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a few snaps from the day and who knows maybe next year we will finally get the ticket but I'm sure it wouldn't be as much fun!</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I am very lucky to be surrounded by many great op shops, one of the perks of living in the burbs of Melbourne. Not wanting to rush out and spurge on a new wardrobe just yet I stumbled upon a few great finds at Family Life op shop in <a href="http://opshop.org/details/2594" target="_blank">Chelsea</a>. The trousers, top and shoes all brand new (apparently one of the assistants sources samples from various fashion houses). I picked up the whole outfit for $44, the vintage necklace was $2 from a garage sale. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Have a great weekend folks and why not support your local op shop, great bargains to be had!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's Tuesday and today I've actually managed to run a brush through my hair and put on an outfit. It's a beautiful Spring day here is Melbourne, no better time to embrace colour. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm still very much nursing a wound and a new born and with that comes a change in wardrobe. My plethora of dresses are no longer practical as I breast feed my little one and yes I still have a bump (sorry to break it to you but like the celebrity culture who endorse it, your bump does not magically disappear and your rocking about in evening gown at the first sniff of an engagement). In the real world, it will be several months before my figure snaps back into shape and I'm absolutely ok with that. I came across these silk trousers from my local op shop, brand new for the bargain price of $15 and the top I've had for forever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I do not have a personal trainer but I will get back to fitness in my own time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The house of Sleekit has turned very pink, let me introduce you to my little bundle of goodness Bea Lilly, born on 11 Sept. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Quickly approaching 3 weeks in and we are so much in love with this gorgeous girl. She mostly sleeps and feeds with the occasional smile that melts your heart, it's such a precious time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bea was born by C-section therefore I'm still in recovery, hopefully should be back fighting fit in another 3 weeks. Very hard to slow down when you want to get back out there and share your new addition with the world! Until then I'll share her with you x</span><br />

Big thanks again to Lady Sleekit for handing over the password whilst she is on maternity leave. Just two more sleeps until her little bundle arrives! I had the pleasure of the Lady's company over the weekend and even about to pop the woman is as <a href="http://www.sleekitone.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/last-preggie-post.html" target="_blank">stylish and polished as ever</a> - amazing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

As we get to know each other over the next little while I thought I'd share with you my morning routine which is the same every single day. </div>

I have two little pugs who need walking and a caffeine craving that needs seeing to before my brain can get in gear for the rest of the day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More often than not I'll throw on some trackies and a hoodie and head out to the park sans shower and with a takeaway cuppa but if I'm up early I'll get proper dressed and take the hounds out for a coffee and a stroll. </div>

My black pug is Rudie the Rude Boy who came to us as a puppy last year and is a divine little devil with personality plus. Our newest family member is fawn coloured Sushi who we adopted from Pugs SOS a couple of months ago. Being a rescue we aren't sure of her age or what horrors the poor gal has been through - too many babies and a lost eye along the way - but she's settling in just fine and her little piggy tail is forever wagging which makes me think she is finally happy. </div>

Pugs shed hair all year round so my most important accessory is a lint
brush! They also have energy to burn so flat shoes for walking them are a
must as we sometimes go for miles...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, I would like to thank my dear friend lady Anthea for her gorgeous wedding post. You will be seeing a lot more of this gorgeous girl on Sleekit while I concentrate on my little bundle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anthea and I both share a love for fashion and with that cemented a truly great friendship, not to mention she's one of the coolest most generous hearted chicks I know! Look forward to many fabulous posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this it it folks, my last post before I descend into a world of nappies and night feeds. On the back of a fairly harrowing first birth experience I will be having a C-section this Wednesday. Mental to think I will be checking myself in to have a baby. I'm excited but shitting myself at the same time, its been 5 years since I nursed and burped a new born, I'm sure it will all come back to me, eek!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In celebration of my impending arrival, my closest friends threw me a baby shower and this is what I wore. Forever hanging onto my sartorial style even at 38 weeks, I purchased this gorgeous mac, had my hair, nails and feet done, added a few accessories and arrived a vision of blue. We enjoyed a fabulous afternoon of food, cake and what turned out to be a cacophony of laughter and good times. Thank you ladies, you know who you are and love my gifts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope to see you back on here very soon when I overload you with baby pics and tales of cuteness, till then...</div>

Some of you may recognise me as Sleekit's occasional partner in fashion crime and for those who don't my name is Anthea - I do hope you enjoy my guest posts over the next little while. (I'm a little bit rusty with the blogging so please bear with me.)</div>

I'd describe my style as vintage with a touch of rock'n'roll and little bit of cowgirl thrown in for good measure. </div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I bought this dress many moons ago on a trip back to Glasgow. It was 5 quid from George in Asda, 5 quid! It's been in a box since our move and I came across it the other day. I rescued it from the bargain bin around the time the <a href="http://world.dvf.com/dresses/wrap-dresses/?gclid=COaqwbaqnbkCFUNipQodwRwAeA&mkwid=sWz8kRaZO&pcrid=27049551641&cid=gcpcAUNZ">DVF wrap dress</a> was having its revival. At 36 weeks not much is getting passed my navel, even my maternity jeans are starting to feel uncomfortable, room for 2 and a bit more! I always liked the colour maybe I need more green in my wardrobe...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've also been busy getting the nursery together. Here's a few details, surprised how much I am gravitating towards pink but I've mixed in a few more complementary colours too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;">Hello there, I've been a terrible blogger but I do have a big excuse! Only 4 and a bit weeks to go until the birth, eek. I'm at the stage where I'm ready to meet this little bundle and comfort is taking over my wardrobe. Today, I'm wearing a Bonds dress which I have been technically wearing as a night dress (shhh don't tell) but I'm scrambling for ideas and comfort is key. </span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As always, accessories have been my savour, here wearing an Aztec scarf which I stole from my beloved, oversize ring and these ASOS ankle boots have also been on high rotation. Reckon I'm the only pregnant woman who is more comfortable in a heel than flats. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They say your home should reflect your personality and your wardrobe. Well, my home is bright, colourful and full of pattern, I love bold colour. We only moved into this house 5 months ago and I've been putting my stamp on it slowly but surely; there are still many rooms to tackle but our home is starting to take shape. With baby only 6 and a bit weeks away I'm keen to get as much done as possible, I've even got the sewing machine out! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With a tight budget and practically a whole house to furnish, I've looked to ebay and op shops to pick up some bargains.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The wicker furniture is from the op shop (sofa and table for $70 and pretzel chair $50) but the fabric was dated and in dire need of some love. Ikea has a great <a href="http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/categories/departments/Textiles/10655/?cid=au|ps|branded|textiles_brand|google|ikea_fabrics">range of fabrics</a>, but you have to be quick, they turn around quickly. I covered the chair for $15 and the sofa for about $20. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just starting on the nursery, to be continued...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's been a while, I know, after my last post about being inspired and all!...All talk and nae action. To be honest, I'm finding it hard to get motivated to post. Trying to come up with new content given my wardrobe has been culled and how many posts can you do in the skinny jeans er, here's another. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My advice to any mum-to-be struggling out there to keep herself stylish, accessorise. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here, I've gone for head to toe accessories to lift what is a fairly standard preggy uniform; jeans and slouchy/comfy top. The Marcs trench that I picked up from the op shop has been a god send, I can throw it over the top of anything and it makes me feel polished.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My wardrobe is limited and I'm slowly getting bored of wearing the same outfits day in day out, time for a new addition...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bought these black skinny jeans on sale from ASOS Maternity, where else? The belly band is much bigger than my last pair so no need for the constant pull up, bonus! Black skinny jeans will go with pretty much anything, it's time for me to get creative, I feel inspired again, phew.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My beloved bought me this gorgeous necklace which I have been meaning to post on for a while, it's such a great statement piece and works well with the black silhouette.</span></div>

Lurking in the back of my wardrobe was this rainbow dress from French Connection, turns out it fits over the bump and may just work for the duration of my pregnancy. Reckon I bought it about 6 years ago, thank god I'm a bit of a hoarder! I like to dress like a colour wheel and have been know to wear 10 colours in one sitting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Found this on you tube, love the song (always makes me smile) and how cute are these illustrations...enjoy!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My shoe collection is vast, however, you would be surprised how many I pick up from Op shops. Last week, I spied these beige leather shoes from <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=12556&catalogId=33057&geoip=home#slide1">Topshop</a> in my local op shop for $8. Sure, my midwife would be telling me to buy a nice pair of flats but these are very sturdy and comfortable and give me just a wee bit of height. Practically brand new with the stickers still on the sole, what a bargain!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm a huge fan of tights and so far have managed to get away without buying maternity which normally come in black and more black, yawn. I'm finding the <a href="https://shop.sportsgirl.com.au/index.html?area=shop&dept=accessories">Sportsgirl</a> range reach over my bump without the need to pull up and they come in fabulous colours. These khaki coloured tights make my new op shop shoes pop.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Have a great weekend, till next week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There is nothing more comforting than a cosy scarf round one's neck on a cold and wintry day. Let me introduce you to <a href="http://fulltiltnanna.bigcartel.com/">Full Tilt Nana</a>, not only a fabulous name but a wonderful concept; who doesn't love a handmade bespoke scarf? The brain child behind this store is my dear friend lady Anthea, she crochets each and every one of them and lovingly supplies them by post in the most gorgeous packaging. You choose your own wool or colour or simply purchase online from <a href="http://fulltiltnanna.bigcartel.com/">here</a>. Beanies have also just been added to the range. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anthea gifted me this beautiful red infinity scarf which is becoming a permanent fixture around my neck, I like to wear it lopped twice or thrice or with a brooch long.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The invitation read, dress code: Gatsby - the occasion, an evening of opulence to celebrate the opening of <a href="http://www.vivianashworth.com.au/">Vivian Ashworth Hair and Make-up Salon</a>. Sold!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a cold Tuesday Melbourne night, my date for the evening, lady Anthea and I perused and schmoozed with the glitterati (wish I had brought my camera, these are some phone shots) the eye candy! The products and accessories on show were impressive and fitting for the theme; the Salon is styled with a 20s vibe in mind. Models paraded in <a href="http://gwendolynne.com.au/">Gwendolynne</a> gowns whilst attending to the ample crowd with Champagne and canapés. It was a lavish affair and so much fun, even if I was on the OJ! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For all you brides out there looking for a one-stop-shop for your special day or simply a lady in need of some pampering I would definitely recommend checking this place out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to Kyra at <a href="http://pybuspr.com/">Pybus PR</a> for inviting us to share in this grand affair.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are some trusty combo's that work every time, in this case black and red. I don't wear a lot of black but when I do I like to pop a bright colour against it. The dress, I purchased from <a href="http://www.asos.com/au/Women/Maternity/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=5813">ASOS Maternity</a> is becoming a trusty friend, cosy, practical and stylish. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My bump is growing, I'm almost passed the "Is she pregnant or just been eating too many pies?" The latter may be true, have the appetite of a Rhino but it's nice when people start to notice that you are indeed growing a baby. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My other trusty friend is the sunglasses that <a href="http://www.visiondirect.com.au/">Vision Direct</a> sent me for Mother's Day, they are becoming my perfect companion, yeah to trusty wardrobe friends, do you have one? Do tell....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You will rarely find me in a pair of jeans, simple reason, much prefer the comfort of skirts and dresses and jeans give me bumps that I would rather not entertain. However, I thought I'd give maternity jeans a try; elasticated waist for comfort and room to accomodate my growing belly. These Khaki jeans were on sale from <a href="http://www.asos.com/au/Women/Maternity/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=5813">ASOS Maternity</a> as you will see from my <a href="http://sleekitone.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/a-few-more-additions-to-my-maternity.html">previous post</a>. They are very comfortable to wear but my only gripe would be the need to yank them up every now and then (another reason I don't wear jeans), the belly band could be higher. Saying that, since wearing these jeans many folks have commented how slim they make me look, er that's kinda nice so I can live with the odd yank every now and then.</span></div>
