Showstopper

Maternity Jeans- Mavi (similar here and here)
Heels- Tony Bianco (similar here and here)
Bangle- Sussan (similar)


Tomorrow is MY BIRTHDAY : ) Whoot whoot!!

I've never actually shared my age on my blog as I'm positively ancient in terms of the blogging world and hopefully you have all assumed I'm younger than I am.... but anyway here goes: 34 years old tomorrow (and 33 weeks pregnant)! Mid-thirties it is, and a great place to be :)

Now to my outfit! Who doesn't love a little bit of sequin action, especially in the day time! This voluminous tee from Aussie label Fillyboo is just so comfy and the fabric so soft too.  Fillyboo have such a gorgeous range of maternity wear known and loved for its laid back, bohemian look.

Paired today with my Mavi maternity jeans which I purchased pretty early on in my pregnancy.   I was a bit skeptical about buying jeans when I would be pregnant over Summer, but with Melbourne weather being what it is I have worn them so much! They sit under your belly and the fabric is such a light, stretchy denim there is no doubt I'll keep wearing these post pregnancy : )

Hair out and no sunnies for a bit of a change today!

Corporate

Top- Country Road (similar)
Reims bag- thanks to Ooh La La
Lili earrings & Cuff- thanks to Ooh La La
Heels- Nine West (similar with low heel)

I do have a full time office job where I need to look professional and corporate five days a week so one of the things I went on the hunt for as soon as I began growing out of my regular clothes was black work skirt and black work pants.  Between a black maternity pencil skirt and black maternity pants I essentially have my work wardrobe covered! Mix and match with any top and blazer and you can really make do for work with just these two items, and get really great value for money out of them (think cost per wear).  These black pants from Soon are perfect, a lovely comfy (stretchy) fabric and a waist band that folds up or down they will no doubt stay in rotation once bub is born- really affordable too!

These are my work shoes, which normally live under my desk at work but bought home to take some pics with.  Note the low heel people!! Very practical indeed ; )

Ruched

Tank- Witchery
Heels- Country Road (similar)
Necklace- Diva (similar)
Vest- Zara (similar)

LOVE, love, love this skirt.  The charcoal grey is perfect and it is so comfortable! Again the ruch-ing and length makes it extra fabulous 

As you read this I am in sunny Hamilton Island for one last holiday with just my husband and I before bub arrives.  You can follow my adventures via Instagram!

Celina tank


Oneoneseven top- thanks to Glue Store
Watch- thanks to Daniel Wellington
Heels- Tony Bianco (similar here or here)
Hat- Seed (similar)
Bracelets- Asos (here)
Sunnies- Rayban (here)

I've raved on quite a bit about how much I have been loving tank dresses as part of my maternity wardrobe and here is another- black, ruched sides, wide straps and the perfect length.  Certainly fabulous worn on their own for the most effortless outfit ever, or fun to layer for a completely different look.  This dress by Soon Maternity (currently on sale) is also available in red and blue, as well some different prints.

In other news the conversion of our study to a nursery is coming together beautifully! I painted the room last week- turned out to be quite an effort as we had painted the walls dark grey when we moved in and I now wanted them white- took FOUR coats to cover it up, plus I did the ceiling.  That bath at the end of the day sure felt good!!  Looks so fresh and lovely now though!  My handy husband changed the light fitting and we hung new curtains- the cot is set up and an armchair has been relocated from our lounge room. A chest of draws to be added, some wall art and a few other finishing touches to go.  I'll be sure to share the final result with you : )
