Dear Lovely Readers,
As you will have seen Uptown Twirl has been a little quiet lately…
As many of you may have suspected, on Monday the 14th of January, my husband and I welcomed our beautiful little baby boy into the world.
Maximilian Paul Gray {affectionately known as Maxie} was born at 16:16 and weighed just over 7pounds. We have spent the past week in complete awe of him and have loved every second of our new little family life.
As we settle into our new routine, Uptown Twirl posts will return to normal over the coming days.
Lots and Lots of Love

Vintage Style Diary
Looking back through older posts as I continue to bring you Uptown Twirl Vintage, I couldn’t help but notice the dramatic changes my body has gone through during my pregnancy.
I have loved every moment of being pregnant and while I am certainly ready for him to arrive {my due date is this Thursday!}, it is an experience that has dramatically changed my appreciation of my body and what I am capable of.
Pregnancy also made my style and appreciation of fashion evolve; having to completely change my approach to dressing. While I did pick up an occasional ‘maternity’ piece or two, I did mostly continue to shop in the same stores, just adjusting my thought process in what would fit my changing shape and enhance my new silhouette. Little empire line dresses, classic black and beautiful detailing become my pregnancy keywords.
But here are some of my favourite Style Posts from 2012 {pre-baby bump}…

Dear Lovely Readers,
I hope you all had a truly wonderful Christmas and very Happy New Year!
This Christmas I have been so fortunate to have been surrounded by beautiful family and friends; delightful weather; delicious food; and gorgeous fashion. I know I am the luckiest girl in the world to have received my dream, ‘to die for’ handbag – the Chanel 2.55 – as a surprise Christmas gift from my husband {more on this to come in a future post!}. And not to mention my little baby boy will hopefully arrive any day now…
And on that note, as I am now 39weeks pregnant and have been ordered to rest and take it easy, over the next week or so I will be posting links to a selection of my favourite past Uptown Twirl Articles.
Starting Uptown Twirl in July 2010, there are so many articles buried deep within my website that I would love for you to rediscover and enjoy.
I hope you enjoy my Vintage Uptown Twirl Articles as much as I have done finding them!
