On Friday my sister and I went into the city for lunch, shopping, and to check out the Reebonz handbag sale at the Hilton. Although I fell in love with a Balenciaga tote bag (out of my budget now with baby on the way) and a Marc by Marc Jacobs wallet (vetoed by my sister as she didn't like the colour) we left the sale empty handed.
Was still a great day though. We had fun shopping after lunch, and had dinner and watched a movie in the evening. Not entirely sure why Queen Street Mall had these decorated horses, but lined up with the tourists to have my photo taken anyway. Something a little different!
This was a nice simple outfit, good for walking around all day, and the dress accommodated both the baby bump and all of the delicious food we ate! Had been wanting to try pair this tunic dress with leggings since I worried it was getting a little short in the second trimester with the bump in the way. Pleased I got a chance to give it a try in the third trimester, was much more comfortable with the leggings underneath.
Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarer, printed Zara dress, gold glitter belt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff yellow Swing bag.
Here's what I wore today:
Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Dress: French Connection star dancing jersey dress in red rust/almond
Leggings: Cotton On
Shoes: Cotton On thin strap thongs in black
Bracelets: the usual plus two metal and fabric Roie Designs bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Swing bag in canary yellow
Enjoyed the dress and leggings combo yesterday, so wore it again today for a relaxing day. Didn't need a belt though as this dress has it's own built-in belt attached :) Spent some time with the in-laws, they've picked their "grandparent names" for baby to call them. Baby will be extremely lucky and spoiled by both sets of grandparents.

Linking up with Passion for Fashion today.
Your red dress is gorgeous on! Matchy matchy with Woofie's lead. Talking of names, have you decided on one for the baby? I imagine you are getting more and more excited for its arrival!
ReplyDeleteStill haven't got a single name in mind, we will be going in to hospital with a little short-list I think haha!
DeleteI'm still wearing loads of non-maternity clothes at 35 weeks, makes it a bit more interesting each day doesn't it than repeating the same maternity bits over & over again! You look lovely in both, have a good long weekend :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it's much easier being able to wear old favourites and expand the maternity wardrobe that way! :)
DeleteSounds like such a fun day! Sister time is the best. I'm so glad you lined up to take your picture next to the horse. It's cute! Love both outfits.

It is very cute and colourful! Just wish I knew what it was for, haha! :)
DeleteSometimes window shopping can be just as fun, and I love those horses! It seems like all the major cities like to do those kinds of art installations, they are just pretty and tourists love them ;)
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
Yep, always nice to have some unexpected art work! :)
DeleteSuch cute looks, leggings and dresses are always a good idea :)
ReplyDeleteAnd ahh memorial day sales, haha. I was bad and got Phillip Lim boots at Barneys Warehouse XD

Oooh I wanna see your boots! I didn't buy anything, but that Marc by Marc Jacobs bag is calling me...such a good price, and I love purple! :)
Deleteooo i love the colored horse! so cute. both dresses look fantastic, i especially love the red one!

Sometimes window shopping beats actual buying! I do the former way more often than the later ;) Plus it is better for the wallet anyway haha. I am glad you spent some quality time with sis! I always love going downtown for some strolling and having lunch and ice cream!
ReplyDeleteYes definitely better for the wallet! :) And time with my sister is always fun :)
DeleteLove both of those dresses, especially the top one! The gold belt is perfect with it. And too bad that bag was a too pricey, the color and shape are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt would have been a perfect tote bag, but yep sadly Balenciaga bags aren't in the budget any more with baby, haha! :)
DeleteLove your leggings and dress combo, so chic even if your wearing leggings! You really are blooming, Mica: :)

I love the dress paired it with leggings. Such a great combo! Sounds like you had a lovely time with your sis. You look so good Mica! :)

Even though you left empty handed, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed yourself. My best friend and I went window shopping the other week, I just could not find anything that I had to have, so a fancy lunch was better for us! :) You look adorable and I love the jewellery. :-) Thanks for your lovely comment.

Yep, lunch with a good friend is always worthwhile :)
DeleteBoth the dresses are lovely! I really like the red and mustard bag paired together.
ReplyDeleteI'll be posting Florida roundups over the new couple weeks! I have tonnes of photos so will probably do a post per day in between other reviews etc

Looking forward to reading more of your Florida posts :)
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the day shopping with your sister. You're looking stylish as ever!

You are glowing more than ever! I love the dress and legging combo on you and the first look with a pop of yellow from the RM works a treat. Oh and good on you for being so in control at the Reebonz pop-up. That deserves a clap or five for the restraint!

ReplyDeleteAnimated Confessions
always love your bags, and you make such a cute pregnant lady! :) i definitely overdid it at the nordstrom sale this year, oops!
ReplyDeleteSales are always a good time to indulge though :)
DeleteReally like the dresses over leggings. And I am so impressed that you can still wear non-maternity clothes are you are so close to your due date.

Thanks Alice! I think it's because I have so many stretchy or loose fitting items in my wardrobe - they've come in very helpful! :)
DeleteSounds like you had a wonderful time! You look so pretty! I really love your new bag as well :)

Absolutely love the dress and legging look. Looks so good on you! Cute picture of you up top!

The red French Connection star print dress is to die for. I do hope I can find that here in London! You are looking fab as always!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great dress, but a couple years old unfortunately.
DeleteThank you all for your kind comments! :)
