Bright Maxi Dresses, Rebecca Minkoff Cross Body Bags

I've been wearing my Rebecca Minkoff bags a lot! They are perfect for wearing cross body, allowing me to be hands-free which is essential for chasing after a toddler.

What I wore: 

Necklace: Eye Candy LA gold and turquoise cuff necklace
Dress: MEV Havana maxi dress C/O Zibibo
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in blue!)

Why I wore it:

After a busy morning rushing around trying to get everything cleaned and organised, we had a wonderfully relaxed afternoon. We had a few friends around for a BBQ, so I knew I wanted to wear this maxi dress. It makes such a simple outfit. Comfortable and just as perfect during pregnancy as it is post-baby, plus I love the colour.

I've worn the magenta dress and purple bag together before, it's a colour combination I really like.


Last worn: maternity maxi dress, gold glitter belt, gold Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wear: maternity maxi dress and a sequin scarf, gold glitter belt and maxi dress without a baby bump, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote and skinny jeans.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey (on sale here!)
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chantelle' crochet detail blue printed maxi dress
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale, also on sale in yellow!)

Why I wore it:

In contrast to the outfit above, when I wore this dress I hadn't been planning the outfit in advance. I threw this on because it was hot and humid and despite feeling terrible, I had to take toddler T and myself to the doctors as we were both unwell. The maxi dress seemed like the easiest option to be as unrestricted as possible. The wonderful air conditioning at the doctors was a welcome reprieve from the heat too.

Kept the accessories simple - my metallic mini MAC bag and House of Harlow necklace which always look good together.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, blue printed maxi dress, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: blue printed maxi dress for a first birthday party, print mixing outfit and Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

Printed Kimonos, Denim Shorts and Rebecca Minkoff Plum Mini MAB Tote Bag

If you've been reading my blog recently you'll notice I have been falling back on a simple outfit formula to help cope with the heat while being pregnant over summer. Maternity tanks, denim shorts, printed kimonos. The two outfits below are variations on that theme, keeping the accessories the same because I've been loving using my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag.

What I wore: 

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers (on sale!)

Jacket: Somedays Lovin' Yakuza print kimono (on sale!)
Necklace: Australian coin and crest necklace layered with Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (C/O)
Tank: Jeanswest maternity tank in white
Shorts: Jeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale!)

Why I wore it:

I've worn this kimono and white tank together before, with a maxi skirt and I liked the combination so it made sense to wear it again. Wore this to take toddler T to his gymboree session.

The kimono has little purple flowers on it so the purple mini MAB bag was a nice choice to add some more colour.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, Somedays Lovin' kimono, white maternity tank, rolled denim maternity shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wear: printed kimono and a maxi skirt, white maternity tank with pink and blue, rolled denim maternity shorts and a striped tank, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote and a maxi dress.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers (on sale!)

Jacket: New Look Petite print kimono (on sale, 70% off!) 

Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (C/O)
Singlet: Jeanswest maternity tank in black
Shorts: Jeanswest Georgie maternity boyfriend shorts (available in non-maternity also)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale!)

Why I wore it:

I really liked everything about the outfit above, so I repeated it again the next week when Toddler T and I went to a playdate. Purple and blue is a colour combination I really like to wear, and I love the purple mini MAC bag with the blue denim and printed kimono.

While the two outfits are incredibly similar, I think changing the colours involved makes them look quite different. Or I hope so, otherwise you're going to get really bored when I stick to this outfit formula for the rest of the third trimester ;)


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers (above), blue printed kimono, black maternity tank, boyfriend denim maternity shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote (above).

Other ways to wear: blue printed kimono with pink accessories, black maternity tank and a printed scarf, boyfriend denim maternity shorts and a printed tank, blue boho dress and purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote.
