What I Wore…
this week now that I have a slight baby bump (captured on Instagram)…
Being nearly 16weeks pregnant I have had to start tweaking my wardrobe and daily outfit choices to work with my new figure. After a couple of full day shopping trips I now have quite a mini collection of pieces, to take me from the office to the evening (well for the time-being anyway).
While building my new capsule pregnancy wardrobe, I have embraced dresses and tops in bright colours and loose silhouettes. I have also been stocking up on statement accessories to add that extra pizzazz to my looks. Colourful berets; large vintage-inspired necklaces; and statement earrings have all been on my purchase list.
What are some of your pregnancy wardrobe tips? xx

July Inspiration
“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
- Coco Chanel
My July Inspiration…
Welcome to July! An extraordinary month! While I am spending my time rugged up under blankets in Australia; I hope all of you in the Northern Hemisphere are soaking up the sun in far off destinations and enjoying your Summer vacations.
Just a few of the things inspiring me this month…
The exquisitely beautiful Giambattista Valli Fall 2012 Couture Collection; youthful insolence; cosy knee-high socks; succulent strawberries; soft pink nail polish shades; fresh flowers; lazy days spent reading & decedent bubble baths; sweet make-up tones; Kate Moss for Burberry Campaign images; behind the scenes at Valli’s Couture show…
