Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!

Hope you all had an amazing New Years Eve and are all set for 2013. 

Today also marks the SECOND BIRTHDAY for Michelle's Style File!!

THANK YOU all so much for support, comments and encouragement over the last couple of years it means so much and you inspire me every day.

2012 has been pretty fabulous- a fair bit of travel this year- I guess knowing we were planning for a family we made the most of it being just the two of us.  Some of the highlights have been a road trip to the stunning Victorian high country, an amazing house sitting opportunity for friends on the Gold Coast, two incredible weeks in Japan, followed by a week in Bali for our friends wedding, plus weekend visits friends in country NSW and family in Canberra, a getaway to a bush cabin in the Grampians (still to be blogged!), representing Pilgrim for the Spring Racing Carnival- topped off by a pregnancy announcement.

I'm so excited for 2013, in February we are off to Hamilton Island for our 'babymoon' (can't wait!!), February is also my birthday, March my husband's birthday and APRIL our 10th wedding anniversary and the birth of our first child!!! I'm pretty sure the adventures will really begin then : )

Stripes again!

Dress- Pea in a Pod
Top- thanks to Junk Clothing

Shoes- Witchery
Necklace- Dotti 

Watch- Swatch
Sunglasses- Sportsgirl

Yep, you've seen this dress before HERE and HERE, and now I have a third look for you.  Nothing in my wardrobe fits anymore : (  and without wanting to splash out on too much maternity fashion it's been time to get creative with the few pieces I did buy- this lovely comfy and versatile dress being one of them.  Layered here with a pretty floral shirt and and my new flats from Witchery- LOVE these! I'm afraid to say you'll be seeing my in flats a bit more often this Summer : )

I've just realised I wear glasses in nearly every post, hope you don't mind- it is Summer after all ; )

Hope you all enjoy the last day of 2012 and your New Years celebrations!!

Sunset with my bump

Dress- Sportsgirl (similar here)

Shirt- De Fry (similar here and here)

Necklace- Diva (similar here)

Witchery heels- thanks to Westfield (now on sale!)

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!  I had a pretty quiet day as my husband had to work : ( but we did travel up to Canberra the weekend before where we had our family Christmas's and lots of quality time with our families.  

Guess what.... we got a pram, hip hooray!  Thank you to all those who gave me your recommendations, it was very much appreciated.  We ended up going with the Bugaboo Bee, which is probably the only pram I found that actually fit in the boot of our compact car.  It was 20% off at David Jones so on Boxing Day I went on a mission- somehow I walked straight past the 50% off Oroton and  30% off shoes to order the pram and went straight home.  Very restrained I know ; )  Mind you the crowds in the city were pretty nuts I don't think I couldn't tolerated it much longer.

These pics are actually in the middle of November (21 weeks pregnant), when my husband and I visited our friends in country New South Wales, on the way there we simply had to stop to watch the sun slip over the horizon- and of course make the most of the photo opportunity (as bloggers do).  Apologies for the overdose of bump pics here!! I'll try not to do that too much over the coming months  ; )

Love of Eos

August St shirt- thanks to Love of Eos

Jeans- thanks to Me I Am by Mela Purdie

Heels- thanks to Steve Madden
Necklace- My Name Necklace

Watch- Swatch (similar)

A quick trip to the city for a Sunday afternoon massage for my husband and I, a relaxed decaf cappuccino, a look at the Christmas festivities around the city and perhaps, okay yes I did, buy some baby clothes.  Seriously who can resist those cute little outfits!!  And they are far less confusing than prams and baby seats ; )  I didn't get too carried away- just a couple of basics...for now : )

I loved the fresh print of this shirt from Love of Eos so bravely kept my look light with white jeans (last seen here) which made it through the day unstained- always a small miracle.  These aren't maternity jeans so I'm using one of those handy little button extender gadgets.


And finally, thank you all for all your wonderful comments and support throughout the year, it means the world to me!

Merry Christmas!!!
