Stripey Lady

cardi- target
leggings- big w
oversize (pfft) tank- kmart

OK so I am doing two ootd's here coz I am lazy. L.A.Z.Y.
The one above is what I wore sunday. Sunday was a lovely day. I woke, pottered, tidied, geoff slept in. I made breakfast cleaned, watched TV. I then decided we should go to Gloria Jean so I dressed rather casual in this striped stretch singlet, old leggings and cardi contraption. This top really showed off my preggy goodness. I bought this tank ages ago, its from the "normal" section at Kmart, size 16. Its umm meant to be oversized LOL. Its quite tight on me lol but I figured it would be ok being prego and all. 31 weeks!! I also donned my glasses for a day of contact free luxury.

black 3/4 sleeve blousey top- thrifted savers (LOVE this!!)
Leggings with zippers up back of ankles- big w
striped cardi- best and less
sandals- kmart

This is mondays outfit. bought this cardi friday night from best and less. I saw it about 2 weeks ago and ummed and ahhed and finally bought it. I mean, it was only $26. I really like it but I kinda wish it was long sleeved. It was kinda coolish/cold today! YAY! Not that that will last- the week gets warmer from tomorrow leading up to 29 i beleive by friday.
I just made my husband a devils food cake for his birthday tomorrow. We may eat it for breakfast lol. Tomorrow night we are seeing bob on his 4d scan again and then I will take my husband to a late romantic birthday dinner at KFC lol.

third times a charm


tie dye maxi- big w
cardi- kmart
havs- city beach
This is out backyard, It is still as gross and jungle-y as the front but i thought this bush thing looked like a nice backdrop lol

Another day, another maxi.
I was off to get a pedicure today and it included a "mud mask to the knee" so I figured a maxi would be appt. And it was warm. It was nice warm but. And now that the sun has gone down its nice, still warm but not hot. I am liking it like this.

I woke this morning at about 9am and had a berocca and a croissant for breakfast while watching foxtel. Mmm. I then cleaned up the house a little.. nesty old me.
I spent lots of money this afternoon but not a lot really on me lol. I finally bought a baby bag so I am happy about that! I bought my secret baby shower pressie for the IVF forum too.. a little late I think LOL.
My pedicure was great and well needed. I then went and bought some cocoa butter and am going to moisterise my feet daily. If I can reach them, if not, then Geoff can lol.
We had pizza for dinner and now I am just resting. I am really liking my hair at the moment, the colour and tone Kelly got this time are PERFECT. Unfortunately I don't think its the colour that made it I think with my hormones at the moment its- mah, let's see!
Ohh.. I have had no more Braxton Hicks, if thats what they were. That was SHIT yesterday afternoon. It felt like gall bladder pain all over again and it travelled from up gallbladder area to the side to the bottom to the other side to the galley again! But that made no sense to me and when I told Geoff that it was odd that my gallbladder area hurt (I no longer actually have a gall bladder lol) he said, derr... your uturus is up there now hence why the pain is there too... and then I thought Hmm.. true, makes sense. And when I used to have gall bladder pain it was because my gallbladder was contracting and what is a BH? a contraction! So I am guessing what I was feeling was a contraction! LOL. It sucked!! It made it hard to talk, breathless etc. It's going to be so much worse in the end hahaha.
So, something new I have found out? YES even though i do not have diabetes and LOVE chocolate I HAVE to slow down lol because I demolished a BLOCK of cadbury mint last night and I had the WORST heartburn I thought I was DYING... YUCK!! There is a lesson here kids...

Braxton Hicks

maxi- target
havs- city beach
cardi- target


So I had leggings on this morning. Then changed into this maxi because I was HOT. I am loving my maxis. I am feeling rather HUGELY pregnant. I also feel swollen. I am incredibly over summer. Right now I can't imagine my body temperature being ready for winter. AT ALL. Here's hoping.
I also had a fun filled afternoon of not getting any work done that I needed to because I had crazy back pain and braxton hicks. Grr. Hullo weekend.

the flash maxi

floral halter maxi- city chic
cardi- target
havs- city beach

OK so how preggo do I look now? I think in this max you can truly see the full extent of my 30 week 4 day bump. me and my wide load lol.
I love this maxi, why have I not blogged about it before? I got it at the City Chic boxing day sales for like $30 and for once, they did not let me down. Really long, halter neck (and I found a halter bra in my drawer this morning! No more teaming this with a bikini lol) I think the fit of this is great, its a large fit and the material is great. I love it and today reminded me of how much I love it.

7:30am- wake geoff. get dressed. Feel revolting, Hop back into bed. Cry. Cry that I want my mummy. Cry. Bitch about the fact that I have no sick leave. Think long and hard about going to work.. I feel like shit and mum and dad can't pick me up if too sick to be at work.


7:50am- call in sick.


8am onwards- try to vomit. eat. vomit. drink. vomit. etc. All day.





So.. had the clinic appointment today.

the day i went to city chic

black drapey cardi- kmart
blush blouse- kmart
jeggings- best and less
silver cut out flats- target
sunglasses- rubi
bag- big w

Bit of a boring fashion post but in my defense it was 8am and i was off to the hospy for some blood test baby related bullshit. I now look like a junkie.

thats my husbands shadow. HI!!

So.. then after the stinking hospy i went to city chic as I was kinda excited by their web site yesterday with the news that they now had a blog and some new clothes. The chick "doing" the blog is Hayley Hughes. I have never realllly followed her blog but I have checked it out a few times. I think what city chic really need is better quality and lower prices. I barely buy anything from there anymore.. I have a love hate relationship with them. I want so badly to love them but they let me down. Constantly.

I love this dress but its like $129 and I betcha the quality will not be fantastic. I didn't see it instore today. The leggings are awesome but in the blog it says MODELS OWN but Hayley talks about them like CC will bring them in? Confused? Anyone??


I saw these leggings, rang the store and had a pair held. When I got there I saw a sparkly pair (OMFG) and took those and these into the change room. The sparkly ones rocked. Not toooo thin (like my fucking acid wash leggings that my finger nailes RIPPED thru) and a great comfy fit- let's not forget that I am 30 weeks pregnant (tomorrow) (and yes, not city chic fault lol but all the same, I need comfort) The painty ones were stiff, not as stretchy and felt cheap cheap CHEAP. I do NOT recommend these and they make anyone over a size 20's legs look MASSIVE
I will show u the sparkly leggings later xx

The Day My Tummy Grew

floral paisley baby doll top- rosanna
beige singlet under- savers
denim leggings- lily + lou, best and less
sandals- target
cropped hoody- city chic


As I was typing the title in.. the day my tummy grew, it autopopulated with the day I spewed LOL- I remember that.

OK so yesterday I wore the black tunic thiny I bought from Target Chadstone last week. Mmm not a fan. It looks too big. I think it will be better like at 38 weeks pregnancy lol. Otherwise- I will seel it on ebay. I have been selling so much stuff lately!!! Great for clearing out things and making some extra moola!! So anyway last night was the final birthclass good. LOL. BUT she bathed a newborn. Holy shit. I know I say this a lot haha, but I think it JUST hit me that I am going to have a BABY!! LOL a cute little teeny cute baby!! He was soo cute in the bath. I almost cried. How un me!!!

Last night I swear I thought I was in labour. I woke up about 4am with lower back ache and period style cramps. I still have a back ache but also last night i felt movement in the side of my tummy not down the bottom so maybe he is now sideways and not breach? Maybe??!

Anyway, I love what I am wearing today. I reckon it looks MINT lol.. My tummy grew as the day wore on and is now really rounded, which added fuel to my comment above. hey see my doggie in the window? LOL

cheap and chic maxi


black beaded maxi- kmart
knit cardi- thrifted, savers
Hi Hi
We popped into cranbourne centro (noice) after we dropped roger off for his doggy haircut yesterday morning. One McDonalds mcmuffin, hashbrown and small coke later, Kmart beckoned so I popped in. I bought some cute polka dot slippers for hospy and founf two maxi's in the plus dept by themselves. I wondered to myself, Hmm, would these still be full price? It is March? I wandered over with them to the price checker and one was still $55 hmmph. But the one I really liked was- $16!! reduced from the aforementioned $55! Woot Woot. I bought it. And wore it to the pub to see my cousin, auntie etc and have a (really bad) meal.

stuff i kinda want

ezibuy boots

this blush autograph tee- ebay



this witchery bag, ebay


satin bomber- city chic


skinny jeans, autograph





boyfriend blazer- autugraph



















Hullo Savers!

blue long top/short dress- savers (brand says forever love)
leggings and sandals and cardi- kmart

far out, i look like a barrel

Monday night was the savers 50% off sale. And I try to not have high expectations because by the time i get there about 6pmish all the good shit is generally gone.

On my list was anything empire line ish (check) a blazer (uncheck) and a drawstring handbag (uncheck) 1/3 ain't bad I guess. I also got some more maternity jeans- am not sold on these yet, may resell on ebay- a red maternity long sleeve tee- not bad- and some goodies for the kids- tee-shirts and such.

Tomorrow I am back at Monash with the midwives and I am scared. I am so scared of delivering early. I am just not ready and i just want him inside me for a bit longer. He has been kicking up a storm past few days which is awesome! I have been feeling better which is good but high BP doesn't hugely effect how u feel? After having shitful gums and teeth they now seem ok (knock on wood) and my headaches have stopped too- thanks glasses, new contacts and massage on saturday.



so u like me in my glasses? not 100% but I think they kinda work better with the blonde hair than the black


Say hello to Bellatrix, our kitty poo. On our bed ALL weekend captured with her tongue between her teeth all dumb like. Ha.
