Zibibo Bubble Tank, Striped Skirt, Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag | Casual Friday Florals, Maternity Skinny Jeans

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

NecklaceRoie Designs faux pearl and black satin ribbon necklace
Dress: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
SkirtFrench Connection 'Abby' twisted skirt (new purchase)
ShoesWittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual plus two old blue beaded bracelets, Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
BagBalenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Michelle from Zibibo contacted me recently to congratulate me on my pregnancy and to offer me the chance to try out some of their maternity clothes. I ended up picking this bubble tank for work and a maxi dress for weekend wear. I honestly don't think I will be packing this top away even after baby arrives! As well as being a nursing tank, it's extremely comfortable, and I like the navy shade. It's definitely something I will be keeping and wearing long after baby grows. It's made from bamboo and cotton, so it's really soft.

When I placed the order at Zibibo, it arrived really quickly as they sent it express - a great shipping option for those feeling like they are running out of bump friendly things to wear! The packaging was beautiful also. Everything was wrapped in tissue paper, with a cute little sachet of popurri so the parcel smelt lovely. Even with my sensitive pregnancy sense of smell I liked it. And I've been so picky over smells I've given up on using all the previously wonderful scented candles I own!

The top is beautiful, the dress is gorgeous (look out for an upcoming post!), and the absolute best thing is that they included a little package of gourmet marshmallows with my order. I spent a lot of my first trimester craving after and stuffing my face with marshmallows, so they certainly know the way to a pregnant lady's heart! They were delicious. I always enjoy getting extra little surprises in parcels, don't you? Especially edible surprises!


Last worn: Wittner black flats, Balenciaga tempete Day bag. First time I've worn the skirt and top.



Here's what I wore for casual Friday today:

Necklace: Lovisa silver love knitted heart pendant necklace
Tank: floral and lace top
PantsJeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs two tone flats in blush and black
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac, friendship bracelet C/O Seri Marea Jewellery
BagBalenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Carrying my Balenciaga day bag again! 3 days in a row now. It's just such an easy and comfortable option, I haven't felt like changing it out for another bag. It's been a tough week so I've been gravitating towards blue accessories to cheer myself up a bit.

Perfect timing for this cute little pastel friendship bracelet from Seri Marea Jewellery to show up, it includes such a lovely shade of blue! Isobel has an etsy store where she sells her designs, and will also custom make something for you. The bracelets would make a great gift or addition to your bracelet stack :)
