My sister came over for lunch on Saturday as she just got back from her holiday and wanted to catch up. I got to see all the photos and hear all the stories, and I'm very jealous! She had an incredible time. She brought me back a beautiful sarong from her trip too.

We had to go out in the morning and actually buy some groceries so we had enough food in the house to make a decent lunch, so I dressed as simply as possible to try and beat the heat. A little bit of print mixing with the striped skirt and geometric tank too.


Last worn: Sass and Bide tank, striped maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.



Here's what I wore to go shopping and have lunch with my parents today:
black and white print maxi dress for second trimester baby bump

miu miu cammeo studded bag
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: gifted gold heart shaped necklace
DressPearl black and white jersey maxi dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus pink and gold bracelet stack
BagMiu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag


Just wore a simple maxi dress as it was so hot today. I've mentioned before that we are turning the spare room (currently being used as my wardrobe room) into baby's nursery. I'm trying to reduce what I own, as well as finding better ways to store what I'm keeping. My wall of handbags is going to be retired and everything moved from display into storage boxes.

Went to Ikea today to get a few more boxes and some other organisational things. As my parents live nearby, we decided to have lunch with them there too. Lunch was delicious, but we ended up spending almost 4 hours shopping there, oops! Got everything I needed though to help with the next stage of the wardrobe organisation/clear out project, and a few little extras.


Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarers, printed maxi dress, Wittner studded sandals, Miu Miu studded bag.

BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


Had a day of training on Thursday, which was a lovely break from my currently hectic work. The course was held off-site, and had a really relaxed atmosphere. I learned a lot, and I'm looking forward to putting into practice some new techniques to make my job easier.

There was no dress code provided, so I wore what I would normally wear to the office and went with a simple outfit, passing off my maternity jeans as plain pants again ;) This top has been hanging around in the back of my wardrobe a while, so brought it out as it's going to be really valuable as the bump grows. I alternate between thinking I have plenty of clothes to see me through the rest of the pregnancy, and days where I can't seem to find anything to wear that looks decent and start to panic that I'll run out of clothes. I blame pregnancy hormones!

Had to wear a little bit of pink today for Valentine's Day! Not as bold as the bright red dress I wore last year, but a nod to the day just the same. And of course, jeans for casual Friday. So grateful for Jeanswest maternity jeans!

DH and I finished work a little early today to go and check out my photo in the 'My Human Family: Rescue Dogs Find a Home' exhibition. It's been in Sydney and Canberra, and now it's in Brisbane. Out of 400 entries, the photo I took of DH and Cooper relaxing in the hammock was one of the 40 chosen to be displayed. It was so nice getting to see my photo, I've never had anything in an exhibition before so I was really excited. Worth checking out if you're in Brisbane! It's here for another week and there are so many great photos and stories.


Hope that you have a great Valentine's Day, however you are celebrating. :)
