Had a busy Sunday! After Saturday's trip to Australia Zoo, I had another luxurious pregnancy massage booked in the morning to get rid of all of the anticipated aches and pains from all of the walking around. Then it was a spot of shopping with my sister, the baby shower at my parents, and a BBQ dinner at the in-laws.

The baby shower was really fun. Baby got so many gifts! We had put together a little registry advising people that gifts weren't necessary, and suggesting a few little things if people wanted to buy something. So many people got us things, it was really unexpected and I got a little teary opening presents.

I'd initially been against the idea of a baby shower, but warmed up to it more during the pregnancy. They aren't very common in Australia. It was such a lovely way to spend Mother's Day though, and I'm very thankful to my mum and sister who put so much effort into the party. Spending time with friends, family and with my mother and mother in law celebrating the impending arrival of their grandchild was really special. Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day too. :)


Last worn: purple maternity maxi dress, gold glitter belt, Havaianas, Miu Miu studded cammeo bag.



Here's what I wore to work today:

Dress: Soon Maternity 'Madeline' grey print wrap dress
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus enamel coated Marc By Marc Jacobs Katie bracelet
BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with GSH


After a busy weekend, simplicity was needed, so went with this Soon Maternity wrap dress for work again. Made getting ready easy, and was perfect for the many meetings I had.

Shocked to search the blog and find that I haven't carried this bag for 5 months - I need to get better at rotating through my handbags. It's a little tricky now that they are all stored in boxes under the bed though, bending down to get things is not the easiest manoeuvre when pregnant, haha!


Last worn: maternity wrap dress, studded mouse flats, Balenciaga Part Time bag.

ShoesNine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter

Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster


Jeans and a stripy tee for casual Friday! Not sure how much longer these non-maternity oversized tees will work for the pregnancy - felt myself tugging at the hem a little worrying it was getting a bit short. Baby is growing well! Got lots of comments from people at work wondering how I was still waddling around the office and why I haven't gone on maternity leave yet, hehe!

Tried a little bit of pattern mixing with the scarf. I was given this at Christmas, it's so pretty. Starting to get cool enough to wear it now. Had the chance to wear my new bag too - love the colour! It's called "rock lobster" and is the perfect blend of pink and red.


Last worn: oversized stripe tee, maternity skinny jeans, glitter flats. First time I've worn the bag as it's a new purchase, first time I've worn the scarf.



Here's what I wore to go to Australia Zoo today:

Had such a fun day today! We had a girl's day out at Australia Zoo for my sister's birthday. I picked a nice comfortable outfit as I knew I'd be doing a lot of walking. I don't know what pregnant ladies in colder climates do, but I'm so grateful I can fit my swollen feet into thongs (flip flops) most days.

Despite having gold hardware on my bag, I went with silver accessories as I wanted to wear my little giraffe necklace. Although not as perfect as my sister's giraffe print dress, it was fitting as we went to hand feed the giraffes which was awesome!
