My ASOS maternity goodies arrived

 

There is nothing more delightful than I parcel arriving in the post, especially if it contains goodness for your closet! As you will see from my previous post, I bought this top and dress online from the ASOS Maternity store. As my bump starts to grow (I'm now 4 months into my pregnancy), thought I'd treat myself to a couple of garments that will see me through the pregnancy and beyond.

Love the spotty top, it will go with so many outfits and the knit dress is super warm and cosy, love the big white anchor detail.

I have no idea where my tripod is, hence the camera shots but to be honest, it's so much fun dressing up in my closet!

outfit 1:

top: ASOS Maternity

First additions to my maternity wardrobe

 Love the boldness of this knit dress $60.59

spots and colour, a winning combination $28.70

When I was pregnant with my first child nearly five years ago, I struggled to find any maternity wear that was 1. affordable and 2. not boring. Since then, the market has improved and now I can indulge without breaking the bank. My first port of call was ASOS, they have a fabulous selection of dresses, tops and even underwear. This is what I bought, can't wait till they arrive!

Have a great weekend x

Sleekit has a new baby

a few details from my bedroom

 
we built a new wall to house the walk-in

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter and the bunny was good to you. Easter, a time for new beginnings so they say, well for lady Sleekit, my world is about to change dramatically.
Yes, Sleekit has a new baby, currently nesting in my tummy and due end of September. This will be my second child and we are all very excited with the news and the prospect of a little one running around again.
My blog has been a little neglected of late, moving house, pregnant and nausea have all taken their toll, but now I feel ready to embrace it all.
My other new baby, walk-in-wardrobe, here's a first glimpse, still organising all my treasures, I have a fair few! (my husband has two racks at the end) what can I say, the lady has a lotta dresses. With a little help from my handy man brother-in-law, we reconfigured our bedroom with a new wall and created the biggest wardrobe, I absolutely love it, such a joy to get dressed every morning.  
An ever expanding belly will bring many sartorial changes for me. I'm determined not to resort to baggy shapeless, dull maternity clothes and hope to embrace my belly and the best thing in the world, being a mum.

Can't wait to see a post with Cecilya Cecylia.com in her black sheer dress 

my purple shoes

Release the fanfare, yes, it's time people, I finally have internet. Moving to an older house creates all kinds of technical problems but to be honest it has been good to have a wee break. 

I finally got back on the blogging circuit at the weekend, completely by-passed the whole fashion week spectacle of LMFF and headed out on an op shop crawl with 13 other bloggers and a couple of ladies Berlin & Valissa from Nuffnang; who kindly threw in some lunch at the end of our little adventure.

We kicked off in Windsor at the top end of Chapel St, not quite the Paris end but treasure did await us as we hopped from one to the next like a little army of thrift seekers on a mission.

It wasn't long before I spied my treasure, a pair of brand new purple T bar shoes, $15. Thank you.

Laura from A little Boutique Near Home has a fabulous montage of all the ladies and their finds, you might even find me on there.

A huge thank you to Erica Recycled Fashion for organising such a great event, look forward to the next one.

Wanna find my inner earth mother with Camilla

image source Camilla

Going through a quiet spell at work so thought I would bring you a very quick post via work today. Still no internet, yawn.

It's fashion week here in Melbourne (LMFF) and normally I would be embracing with a few shows and social engagements but find I have little or no free time at the moment with the building of the new nest and all. However, I have been keeping in touch with all the goss through social media and one Melbourne designer has caught my eye.

Camilla Franks, somehow I haven't came across you till now, where have I been? Camilla launched onto the fashion scene seven years ago with her whimsical, goddess like collections. Celebrities far and wide have embraced her and now it's my turn.

I want to run through a meadow, baring a headdress and find my inner earth mother! Love.

In transit

Hellooooo, I have moved but have yet no internet so posting has become a wee bit problematic! The move was mental and we are only starting to get our feet back on the ground, still wading through the boxes but so far, so good, loving the new hood and most of all, living across from the most beautiful beach. 

Here is a pic I took in our new bedroom which is currently getting re-painted and a walk in wardrobe is being installed as I type, very excited about that...

Stay tuned, I will be back to normal shortly, promise!
