Necklace- thanks to Sistaco

I know I keep banging on about pregnant lady wardrobe staples, but when you are a peculiar shape for a only a short amount of time you don't want to be splashing your cash on pieces that you will only wear once.  So here I go again with another wardrobe staple for you- black pants and a black knit!  Both pieces I know I will continue to wear post pregnancy.

These pants are actually the capri style but because I'm a shorty they finish perfectly at my ankle which I love (you can see the straight leg version on me HERE).  This boxy knit is such a beautiful fine knit and is also available in red- I changed my mind about which colour 17 times before deciding on the black.

And of course I couldn't go without a mention to this beautiful statement necklace! Sistaco have an amazing range of unique, glamourous, yet affordable jewellery and this necklace is one such piece.  I love the mix of colours.  Love this? Be sure to stay tuned because I have a giveaway just around the corner!!

38 weeks and still here- hoping bub arrives a bit early...maybe this week (fingers crossed!!)
Not because I want bub out but because I just can't wait to meet him/her :)

Calla tube maternity skirt- thanks to Soon Maternity

Extra thin crystal bangle- thanks to PeepToe

Ring- Swarovski

Tee- Country Road (similar)  

Sneakers- Nike (similar) 

Swarovski's Tropical Paradise collection has just hit stores and features this beautiful three dimensional crystal beetle- so beautifully sparkling and colourful!!  I was actually hoping to do a bit of a tropical paradise theme for this blog post, but being in Melbourne, in Autumn, and with my limited wardrobe at the moment it didn't come together- however I'd thought I let the beetle be the standout with this simple grey and black outfit.

This skirt is from Soon Maternity, fitted to the knee in a lovely textured fabric this skirt is a really great basic piece that can take you beyond pregnancy.  The sneakers are another new addition, I thought I needed some pretty kicks to see me through my days pushing a pram around AND they match my beetle's wings perfectly : )

Celina 3/4

Celina 3/4 sleeve dress- thanks to Soon Maternity

Heels- Tony Bianco (similar here and here)

Sunnies- Sportsgirl

Last week I was lucky enough to view Soon Maternity's Autumn/Winter range which has just landed on their website, and even luckier to get a few pieces for myself to show you guys.  The Celina tank seen HERE, has been THE wardrobe staple of my wardrobe at the moment. I wear it constantly and find it so easy to change its look so I was excited to see that this very same dress came in a sleeved version.

At 8.5 months preggers, I'm feeling, and looking, positively huge  : /
Hopefully I'll get to show you all the looks before bub arrives!!

Hamilton Island 'baby moon'

Pics taken at the resort, Catseye Beach, Whitehaven Beach, Whitsundays, Hamilton Island marina and Hamilton Island look out.

I thought I would share a few of my pics from our trip to Hamilton Island a couple of weeks ago for our babymoon.  Such a beautiful place and immaculatently kept.  The water (pool and ocean) were so wonderfully warm and we hardly left the water the whole time we were there.  Golf buggies are the main mode of transport around the island- there are soooooo many and the couple of rides we got in them were quite fabulous!  Breakfast was most certainly the best meal of the day, and with a view to match (only just realised my belly was poking into the photo above- bah ha ha).

We stayed at the Beach Club (no kids allowed) and were just a hop, skip and a jump from the beach and the pool which was so perfect.  One day we took a day trip out on a big catamaran, sailing through the beautiful Whitsundays to Whitehaven Beach which is just sooooo stunning! (The pics don't do it justice).  And for a spot of snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef.  The waves on the way out were pretty full on and I was decidedly sea sick : / But the crew looked after me and sat me down up the back of the boat, eyes on the horizon and brought me cup after cup of ice to suck on- seemed to help : )  Thankfully sea sickness does pass as soon as one is on solid ground and the trip back was smooth sailing- phew.

  Whenever I was in the ocean I had to wear a head to toe stinger suit, not terribly sexy, nor good for ones tan but it wasn't worth the risk to bub to get stung!  Quite hilarious with me in the extra big suit to fit over the baby bump and long sleeves and legs to drag around- heh heh.  We did see quite a few so it was worth wearing!  I did have an adventure on a stand up paddle board (SUP) one day too- a fellow I passed on the beach mentioned there were turtles playing out near a buoy so naturally 7 month pregnant me grabbed a board and off I went.  Except the ocean did have other plans and as much as I paddled in the direction I wanted to go, I was being whisked rather quickly out to sea via a rocky outcrop and starting to get a tad panicky! Thankfully a lifesaver spotted me and drove out on the jet boat to save me.  Never did get to see those turtles ; )

The countdown continues!
