I bought this skirt on Asos over a couple of years ago now, just before I fell pregnant actually, so this is the first time I've worn it!  I'm seeing a lot of lace skirts with a shorter underskirt around at the moment, so I like that this is a different version of this.  Paired today with this light cashmere knit and  nude heels.

This lovely smart bag by Lily Jade is in fact a nappy bag!!  Designed, very cleverly I might add, to last through motherhood and beyond.  This bag comes with a removable and washable 'baby bag' organiser and a washable changing pad.  The organiser has over 14 pockets so there really is a spot for everything!  When the baby bag is removed, this beautiful bag contains everything you would expect from a regular handbag.

Pencil skirts are one of my favourite pieces of clothing; always feminine, sophisticated and flattering.  I love the mesh panel on this skirt, which you don't notice at first glance.  But once the light is behind there is that cheeky extra glimpse of leg!

I absolutely LOVE that is now acceptable to wear jeans with sneakers! Perfect mum attire- easy, soooo comfy and very practical for chasing after a speedy young toddler :)   Now I should add, jeans with your gym shoes is still pretty daggy, so to keep your look chic choose your sneakers should be something iconic and classic like Nike Air Max, Converse or these fabulous navy/blue New Balance 574 that I'm wearing.

I should add all womens New Balance 574 are all on sale at the moment at JD Sports in a whole range of colour combos (I love the burgundy/grey),  delivery is super quick and FREE to Australia for orders over £75, with easy returns.

No need for a coat when wearing this knit, made in Ireland from 100% merino wool; it is of the highest quality and amazingly warm! As my husband said, "you're wearing a sheep" ;)  I love the Aran Cable design and flattering v-shaped centre panel. 

This jumper has been knitted using the original designs of the Aran Islands of Ireland, which can be traced back to around 800 AD!!  Each stitch has a different meaning which related to the everyday lives of the Islanders.  Aran knitwear has become well known for the expertise and craftsmanship of its makers.  No doubt about it this knit will keep me warm for many, many Winters to come!

I should add that Aran Sweater Market offers FREE express shipping to Australia with your order arriving in an amazing 3-4 days.
