Blue Skull Scarf, Stripes, Blazer and Maxi Skirt | Maternity Skinny Jeans and Boots, MbMJ Ukita Bag

Now that baby T has arrived, I'm blogging less regularly as life revolves around a newborn and I spend most of my days at home in pyjamas! Below are two of the chances I've had recently to get dressed and get out of the house, and had time to take an outfit picture.


Here's what I wore to take baby T for a checkup and visit Centrelink:

Jacket: Zara black blazer
Scarf: Alexander McQueen skull scarf in light blue (currently on sale!)
Tank: Glassons striped tank in black and white
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs pretty nylon Eliz-A-Baby bag (not in pic)


Tried to dress a little more like myself on this outing - I felt really dressed up with the blazer actually! Just carried all of my paperwork and things in the baby bag. So pleased we bought a large bag as I can throw my things in with everything needed for baby. And all of the paperwork Centrelink need...

Wasn't sure how my scarf would fare, but decided to wear it anyway and managed to keep this outfit stain-free. Although baby T did sneeze milk right in my face after a feed, it missed my clothes. Life with baby isn't very glamorous, but it is hilarious!


Last worn: Zara blazer, blue skull scarf, Glassons stripe tank, jersey maxi skirt, Converse.

Here's what I wore to spend the afternoon with DH:

Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Top: thrifted Zara cream shirt (recent purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster


Really liked this outfit! Got to carry my own handbag as baby T was babysat by family for an afternoon, which gave DH and I the chance to have a little lunch date together. We are lucky to have such helpful and supportive family. While it was nice getting some time out without baby, it was the longest we've been apart since he was born (he was just over 2 weeks old when I took this photo) and I did miss him a bit! Was nice to change out my handbag from the Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag I had my things in when I went into labour.

This Zara top is another one of my thrift finds from my op-shopping day as I filled my time waiting for baby's arrival. This is the first time I've been able to wear it as it didn't cover the baby belly before, hehe. The Endeavour Foundation store had a bunch of Zara items, so I ended up with a few things. Cheaper than flying to Sydney for a Zara fix ;)


Last worn: maternity skinny jeans, Asos brown leather boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs little Ukita. First time I've worn the top.

Marc By Marc Jacobs Ukita Bag, Third Trimester Pregnancy Work Wear

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Top: Asos textured knit jumper in cobalt blue
Skirt: Asos maternity tartan check pencil skirt - on sale! (non-maternity version here)
Shoes: Nine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster


After wearing a lot of black, white and grey, I felt like some colour so I paired this cosy knit with the tartan pencil skirt and a bright bag. I really liked this bag with blue last time I wore it, so wanted to try it again.

This is quite a thick jumper so I don't wear it often, but I adore the colour every time I do. Almost a year since I last wore it, wow! Should make more of an effort to wear it over the upcoming cooler months.


Last worn: cobalt blue knit, Asos maternity pencil skirt, glitter flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Ukita bag.

Here's what I wore for casual Friday today:

Tee: 'Ninja baby' maternity skeleton tee
Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded neon and gold and black and gold bracelet set and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster


Emotional day today! My last day at work for a while, I have now officially commenced my maternity leave. Just had to wear the ninja baby tee as I knew everyone would get a giggle out of it. There was a morning tea in baby's honour and I got so many lovely gifts from my colleagues. It's sad to be leaving a large project right in the middle of everything, but I'm really looking forward to getting to spend time at home with baby. The last few days at work have been really tough and it will be good to have some rest before the due date.


With the cooler weather we've been having lately, just had to share that Jeanswest have an extra 30% off sale items - including some winter knits! Ends Sunday night.

Last worn: ninja baby tee, Jeanswest maternity skinny jeans, studded mouse flats, MbMJ Ukita bag (see above).

40 Weeks Pregnant! Stripe Tee, Maternity Skinny Jeans | Ombre Knit, Maxi Skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran

Here's what I wore on Wednesday:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen skull scarf in light blue (new purchase)
Tee: Atmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Yep, you read the title right. I'm 40 weeks pregnant. :) Baby T is definitely overdue! Still trying to keep as active as possible and making sure that I get out and about every day, as I know walking is beneficial.

Wore this simple jeans and tee outfit to go to the doctors on Wednesday. Added the scarf to keep me warm as it was a little chilly. Not the best photo of it, but it's a lovely blue skull scarf. I couldn't resist buying another skull scarf to add to my collection when Matches Fashion sent me a discount code! I really like the way they styled it on their site with the white tee and pale denim. Unfortunately I don't have any plain white tops that fit the baby bump, so went with this striped one instead. I liked the result, although I look forward to trying it with a white tee later!


Last worn: stripe tee, maternity skinny jeans, Havaianas, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag. First time I've worn the scarf as it's a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore today:

Necklace: Dogeared silver wishbone necklace
Jumper: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Today was spent on the phone mostly! Lots of people calling and texting to see how things were going and if there are any signs of baby's arrival. I'm really feeling loved, with everyone checking in hoping all is still well, asking how I am and giving us encouragement.

Comfy knit and maxi skirt outfit today as I had another acupuncture appointment this afternoon. Loose layers are good to wear when getting poked with needles. And I'm pleased this stretchy knit still fits the bump. Looks very different from the last time I wore it! Thought that the ombre effect looked nice with the stripes, what do you think?

Jeanswest Maternity Skinny Jeans, Dressing Up A Stay At Home Outfit As A New Mother

I'm blogging less often as life revolves around newborn baby T and I spend a lot of time in pyjamas. No one wants to see my daggy PJs, so I only blog when I've got dressed and had time to take a picture.


Here's what I wore to have visitors drop by:

Scarf: red and black skull print scarf
Top: Chicabooti red fine knit jumper (with Cotton On red singlet underneath)
Jeans: Jeanswest maternity skinny jeans in black
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual


One of our friends let us know that they were passing by and wanted to drop by and spend some time with baby T. Thought that I'd add a scarf to the plain knit and jeans outfit to dress it up a little for visitors. We even had time to clean the house a little before everyone came by. Quite a productive day!

I have a lot of accessories I can use to dress up outfits - but I haven't been wearing jewellery a lot. Usually before baby I'd wake up, know what I was going to wear and pick the accessories from my jewellery stand next to the bed. Now, I'm woken up by baby T and getting dressed can happen quite a few hours after I've gotten up and made him happy! Scarves are great for that, they are nice "afterthoughts" to an outfit I've hurriedly pulled on but they help make it look a little more put together. I keep mine right by the door too, so it's easy to grab one on the way out. Haven't worn this one in a long time (over two years!), but thought that it went perfectly with this outfit.


Last worn: skull print scarf, red knit, red singlet, maternity skinny jeans, Converse.

Here's what I wore to go to a doctor's appointment:

Jacket: Juicy Couture Zip Hoodie in Lilac
Top: Best and Less blue stripe breastfeeding singlet
Jeans:  Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


My family came over to spend some time with baby T. We had lunch, and they were able to baby sit while I popped out to a doctor's appointment. It was sunny and warm, so I just wore my Havaianas.

This is just another "stay at home mum outfit". I tend not to put too much effort into what I wear if I'm just going to the doctors! It would have looked really nice with a necklace, but baby T can be a bit grabby sometimes and I don't want him getting tangled up in any of my necklaces.

The hoodie was a lovely gift from my bestie, she's so generous! We both have a love of Juicy Couture trackie dacks for lounging at home or dog walking. I've been wearing mine a lot more often now, spending so much time at home. The hoodies have been popping up on the blog too as some days a blazer or leather jacket seems too dressed up and a cardigan is just too thin for the winter weather. They are a nice casual cover up.


Last worn: striped singlet, maternity skinny jeans, Havaianas, Balenciaga tempete day bag. First time I've worn the jacket as it is a recent gift.

Balenciaga Coquelicot Velo, Fashion Item Friday Linkup

I'm co-Hosting the Fashion Item Friday link-up today, so scroll down and link up your latest fashion-related post :)

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Necklace: Cotton On Jewel drop necklace in black and silver
Top: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee (new purchase)
Skirt: Soon Maternity Flora fold pencil skirt
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga Coquelicot Velo


Thursday was supposed to be a nice quiet day at work without any meetings, so I dressed comfortably. Of course the day didn't turn out anything like I planned and I ended up with a few meetings and some very urgent tasks to work on, haha. Always the way!

This tee is another new purchase. I've bought more non-maternity clothes than maternity clothes this pregnancy I think! I know these oversize tees will fit me post-pregnancy as I am ordering my usual size, and they are not as overwhelmingly long on my petite frame as most maternity tops are.

The Iconic keeps having sales and extra coupon codes that just tempt me too much ;) They currently have a 50% off sale at the moment, and I've again got a cart full of wishlist items....


Last worn: Soon Maternity pencil skirt, Wittner black flats, Balenciaga coquelicot Velo. First time I've worn the tee as it's a new purchase.

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

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Necklace: Roie Designs faux pearl and black satin ribbon necklace
Dress: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
Skirt: French Connection 'Abby' twisted skirt (new purchase)
Shoes: Wittner '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
Bag: Balenciaga 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

Shoes: Marc 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
Bag: Balenciaga 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 :)

Pink Blush Maternity Dress, Marc Jacobs Fran | Casual Friday Oscar's Law Tee, Striped Maxi Skirt, Bal Velo

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Dogeared 3 Wishes stardust bead necklace layered with Chanel necklace
Dress: burgundy button sash maternity dress C/O Pink Blush Maternity
Shoes: New Look brown cut-out detail shoe
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded black and gold bracelet set
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


The lovely Olivia from Pink Blush Maternity contacted me a while ago to congratulate me on the baby news, and offer me the chance to try out one of their maternity pieces. I picked this lovely burgundy dress, as it's a maternity and nursing dress so I'm sure to get a lot of wear out of it. It arrived in just a week, really fast shipping from the US to Australia!

It's super soft and stretchy but not clingy so I know I'll be able to wear it lots as the baby bump grows. It certainly has enough room to allow for the growing bump. I like the adjustable tie, and it's really comfortable. With it being a nursing dress as well, I wasn't too sure if it was too low cut for the office so I wore a singlet underneath just to be on the safe side.

Asked my darling friend K for her honest opinion on the dress and she thinks it's beautiful, so definitely a winner! Looking forward to wearing it more over the next few months - my first maternity dress :) Getting a little maternity wardrobe going - 1 dress, 1 top, 2 pencil skirts, 3 pairs of jeans. Been getting some tips from friends about how to make use of my existing wardrobe too which is very helpful.


Last worn: Ray Bans, brown flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag. First time I've worn the dress as it's a new arrival.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Tee: Oscar's Law 'Break the puppy trade' tee (new purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes twilly Kelly en Calèche tied as bracelet
Bag: Balenciaga Coquelicot Velo


If you've followed me for a while (or if you've looked in my sidebar) you'll know I strongly support Oscar's Law. They recently released a new fundraising tee so I had so snap it up right away! It reads: 'help break the puppy trade and don't buy the lie'. Oscar's Law is about ending the cruel puppy farm cycle by educating people, trying to get changes in the law to better protect puppy farm animals and stop stores from selling puppies.

We adopted Cooper, we support our local shelter and every chance I get I let people know how great rescue dogs are. Even resorting to using my baby belly as a mini billboard by wearing tees like this, haha! Added my Balenciaga velo for a bit of red today for Chinese New Year. Gong xi fa cai!


Last worn: Jeanswest maternity jeans, Hermes twilly, studded flats, Balenciaga Velo. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Mulberry Foggy Grey Alexa Bag. Oversize Tee, Asos Tartan Pencil Skirt. Casual Friday Maternity Tank, Skinny Jeans

Here's what I wore to work on Thursday:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette

Top: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversize tee in black (new purchase)

Skirt: Asos panelled pencil skirt in tartan check on sale! (materntity version here)

Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black mouse flats patent leather

Bracelets: the usual plus pastel friendship bracelet C/O Seri Marea Jewellery

Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey

This oversized tee is the other one from my order last week. So pleased with how comfy these tees are, and how well they fit the bump. Don't even care that it makes it the third version of this top that I own, as they are all different colours. ;)

I felt great all day in this outfit. Lucky to work in an office where I can pair tees and pencil skirts and still meet the dress codes. Added a bit of colour with my Mulberry Alexa bag to avoid wearing too much black.

Last worn: Ray-ban Wayfarers, Asos tartan maternity skirt, patent mouse flats, Mulberry Alexa bag. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore today:

Jeans: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue

Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs two tone flats in blush and black

Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac

Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey

A few degrees cooler today so I brought out my maternity jeans again for casual Friday. :) Picked up this Asos top a while ago for a bargain in one of their sales. The only downside is that, like most maternity tops, it's a bit long on my short frame. I've only worn it once before, in my little pregnancy announcement video, when I could tuck it into the maxi skirt. Although it was really cheap, I should probably try to get more than one wear out of it, so decided to wear it again today. I find that there are some maternity tops I can only really wear with skinny jeans, as they are too long with skirts and I'm past the stage where I can comfortably tuck things in that the waist, haha. It's why I'm trying to wear my normal tops as much as possible.

If you haven't already seen, the Rebecca Minkoff Friends and Family sale is on now! 25% off everything, including sale items, with code 'RMFAM'.

If we didn't have more baby things to buy, I'd definitely be picking up something in the sale! There are so many cute bags :)

Last worn: Ray ban (see above), Asos maternity tank, maternity skinny jeans, two tone flats, Mulberry Alexa (see above).

Here's what I wore on Saturday:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: House of Harlow 5 station necklace in black and silver
Dress: JayJays feather print maxi dress
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Balenciaga flat clutch GSH in 2010 Sang


We had a busy Saturday! After our Australia Day BBQ was a wash out last week, we moved it to Saturday instead. Spent the morning setting up and rushing out for last minute things, had a wonderful time at the BBQ, and then we went to the in-laws for a family feast for Chinese New Year. Lots of good company and good food, but I was exhausted and ready for bed by 9pm, haha!

Had a new red top in mind to change into for dinner, but after everyone left from the BBQ I didn't have a lot of time or energy to change, so I wore the same maxi dress I'd worn during the day. Certainly was comfortable for both occasions.


Last worn: Rayban wayfarers, feather print maxi dress, Havaianas, Balenciaga sang flat clutch.

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


Had a much quieter Sunday! Just a nice casual jeans and a tank outfit. It actually ended up being a little warmer than I expected, starting to wonder if I should consider getting a pair of maternity shorts. I know if I do, the weather will just cool off again though ;)

Had Church Online in the evening as always, we've started a new series called '30 second theology' where we watch some ads and think about the messages behind them. It's really good, feel free to click by and check it out :)

Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Hillier Hobo in blush pink with silver hardware


Lots more rain and cooler weather on Friday, so I got to bring out one of my scarves that has been packed away for a while. I thought the pink skull print looked really nice with the purple top and peachy bag.

Last time I wore this top, I paired it with a pencil skirt and it really didn't look great. Just too shapeless and long. I much prefer it with the skinny jeans, doesn't seem to overwhelm me as much. What do you think?

After the cooler weather the past few days, the heat was back in time for the weekend! Still looking longingly at my scarves each day...haha! After moving them out of baby's room they are hanging up in the wardrobe in the bedroom and I see them every day as I wait for autumn weather to kick in. Had been planning to wear another one of my many scarves and even my boots today, but was nicely surprised with some sunshine and warmth.

Went with a simple maxi dress outfit due to the heat, with only a few accessories due to the humidity. Spent the afternoon in the city, did some shopping and watched my friend take part in a Salsa dance flash mob. Something a little different from the usual! Was a fun afternoon.

Casual Friday Shirt, Skinny Jeans, Balenciaga Day | Asos Beaded Little Black Dress, Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Hobo Bag

Here's what I wore for casual Friday:

Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Shirt: Target mint stripe shirt
Pants: Jeanswest maternity super skinny jeans in antique blue
Shoes: Nine West fascinate ballet flats in silver glitter
Bracelets: the usual plus Balenciaga coated stud wrap bracelet in icy blue
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


A very blue outfit! :) On Friday we had a team meeting to celebrate a few work achievements and milestones, and I wasn't sure what to wear. My sister had given me a fun ninja baby tee at Christmas, but I also thought I should be a little professional as one of the things we were there for was a work achievement of mine. Ended up wearing my striped shirt to be on the safe side. Although when my manager mentioned my baby news as another reason to celebrate I did wish I'd worn the fun tee, haha!

When I first got this shirt for Christmas I commented that it had plenty of room for a growing baby bump, but I probably won't be able to wear it much longer! So pleased to see baby is on track.


Last worn: striped shirt, maternity skinny jeans, glitter flats, Balenciaga day bag.

Here's what I wore today:

Dress: Asos tribal necklace dipped hem black dress
Shoes: Novo 'Tahnee' black studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff hobo - Nikki in Silverstreak


Simple outfit for a Saturday. Went with this dress which requires no extra accessorising as I was feeling a little uninspired for what to wear today with the heat. I suspect that I will be wearing a lot more dresses over the next few months!

Funny that last time I wore this dress I was wearing it because the oversized shape hid my then little baby bump quite well - definitely no hiding it now!


Last worn: beaded neckline dress, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Nikki hobo.
