The postman delivers twice.. well once..

I was allll set to do this big 90210, 90's fashion blog and then my dogs started barking and I realised there was a delivery man at the door!
I didn't mention this but when Torrid had their 50% off sale last week I placed an order. I didnt get a lot and I should have as shipping to australia pretty much cost me what I bought but there were only really these three items I realllly wanted. I got some floral shorts, a floral romper and a dress. I eagerly signed the delivery mans scanner and tried on my goods! I took these photos myself; they are kind of gay ok..


black tee- autograph
floral shorts- torrid

OK- the shorts are like 2 sizes too big but I LOVE them. I will get someone to take them in. Am actually wearing them over leggings above- I think they look super cute.

Black tee- autograph
Flip skirt- Lily and Lou
OK so this skirt is not from Torrid lol but I figured I would try it on while I was in the mood. Cute hey?

Floral romper- torrid
Its once again a touch too big but I LOVE it, looks soo cute over leggings!!!


Dress- Torrid
Perfect fit!

That was my first time buying online if you forget about ebay which I buy off daily- for me and for Billy lol. I think I have a bit of a pokies-like addiction now! Its soo easy and simple! Now to get thee to a good alterationist to fix these awesome shorts...

Peachy Keen

Good day.
Yesterday we went out shopping with Billy, Catherine and Bec. All were very well behaved. B had his new seat for the emmajlunga- no more basinette for my little guy! I took him for a stroll while Geoff took the girls for lunch because a) he was going to be due for a bottle in an hour and I wanted to utilise my un-feeding time and b) i didnt want to eat lunch lol. I was looking for something for geoff to buy me for my birthday. He is getting me a laptop but that wont be ready in time for said day. Soo i went to the usual shops, city chic, myer, best and less, target and kmart. Mah, Nothing. I tried the whole "make it work for you" on a size 18 dress from the standard size shit and it fit but was a little snug. The size 24 dress from the fatty ranges was only a teeny bit bigger. FARKKK that shits me. I mean, some continuity please! I finally found two new puff sleeve tops not unlike my heart print one in city chic, one black and one black and white striped. Got those. Also got a new floral purse from sportsgirl and some Jovan Black Musk from target- It is seriously so cheap and yum!! I then made a few purchases of my own- pics below.
I love the shade of the peach polish but not sure if it works on me. I did found out that PALE floral looks HORRENDOUS on me. I need black floral. I am so obsessed with black floral and 90's fashion- once AGAIN. expect a post dedicated to it soon. Also one to my dear old childhood dog Gypsy who died yesterday- not quite ready to talk about that one yet.
In other new, life is good.
someone enjoyed their first mashed pumpkin!
my loot! Kmart girl express floral sunnies, australis peachy nail varnish + i love mum and I love dad baby socks from Target.

excuse the lack of makeup and dodgy shot. Husband was busy so this was step daughter 1's shot
black cropped cardi- city chic
black motocycles leggings- Monroe (worst quality EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
black floral tank- big w. $17. Take THAT overpriced city chic.


and this was stepdaughter 2's shot



peachy keen. dont worry the clear express drying stuff on my nail beds dried and disapeared. meh.

like sands thru the hourglass

Time is going so fast at the moment. The weeks just fly by. I can't believe that this time last year I was on this horrible IVF journey and now I have a hilarious baby boy.. who is soon to be 4 months old, omg.

I am loving him at this age, I do miss him being a newbie but this is such a fun, interactive time! I just adore him, I feel like a mama lioness.
I can't beleive he is now 7 kilos. He was 2.2 kilos at birth! He has thrived so well! He is currently in the 50% for his age but a LOT of babies I am seeing lately are TINY. I saw a lady shopping today who had an 11 month old who was SIX KILOS holy crap! I don't get it. do they not eat? Billy NEVER knocks back a bottle. well.. he knocks them back, down his throat! He is quite an active baby too so I don't think he will get fat though. I dunno, I am wrapped he is doing so well I just thought when he was born I was going to resign myself that Billy would for a little while be small for his age but he really isn't!

I am quite proud that I did most of what I wanted to do on my last post..
I sold on ebay, I still am actually. AM making a mint with all my unused unwanted plus size clothes which is great! And it is really making me think twice before I buy myself clothes now- like what I had in surplus was embarrassing. I had (have? lol) so much clothes, its craziness.
I have been on my treadmill heaps. I have lost 13 kilos since Billy was born which I am proud as of- mind u, my evil mum bought her cheesecake over today and I have had two leeetle pieces. But you have to give in sometimes!
Driving Lessons? Have had THREE! and I am AWESOME! ok well maybe not but I have not killed anyone, run over animals or bins or done anything else remotely crazy. WOOHOO!! license I will see u soon! I am going to have the best summer cruising around DRIVING!

Did I mention Geoff Billy and I are going on a holiday in a little over 8 weeks? I would love to have that 13 kilo loss up to about 22 kilos by then! I am really excited to be going away to some warm weather-we are going to surfers paradise. I really really need a break!


Anyway, below are some of my current pics; peace out.

i love hooters

Says it all really.

So today I exchanged my black leggings at Myer and got a new pair. I also replaced Billys new 2 pack bodysuits from target as two preststuds fell off the first time he wore them! JEEZ what is it with all this SHIT quality clothing.
I then ate some steamed dimsims for lunch which I figured was ok and ONE mrs fields cookie which I figured was NOT but I wanted it. I made up for it by not having crepes for dessert at my aunties tonight but I did have a teeny freddo instead. YES I am going to go and work out on the treadmill in a sec.
I realllly need to get motivated this week.
This is what I REALLY need to do;
book driving lessons. It is KILLING me that geoff takes the train to work and I have a CAR HERE I COULD DRIVE!
Make sure I treadmill it EVERY day. I missed one or two last week.
clean out the wardrobe. Like major. SELL SELL SELL on ebay.

white tee- lily and lou, best and less
leggings with studs- kmart
black cardi- savers

This teeshirt was looser today than it was like a month ago. Tis good.




Why is my face SO unsymetrical? Its like I have had a stroke lol not really but kinda? one brow is higher and that eye is bigger? wft

why I'm annoyed and why I'm tired

This little face is the reason why I am tired.
look at his little belly button aweee.. nah he has been feeling a little off i think, snotty nose and coughs. last nigth he had a big sleep early on and then woke at 1am for his night bottle. After that he fell asleep as did I but then awake on and off until 7am when I decided to stay up. Tired.
blush top- kmart
leggings- big w
cardi- savers
this is why I am annoyed lol. I was going to wear my new Monroe pants but they have holes all near the knee pad things!!! FAR OUT! what crap quality. So now I have to return to Myer tomorrow. yeah I LOVE shopping three days in row with a baby. No really, I don't :)
I thought the above outfit would look better but it was a real mah. I love the blush top but I reckon its too big. Looks better with jeans too. This is my new susan grae savers cardi.
Mah. now to try and finish cleaning my kitchen and maybe jump on the treadmill before having a bath oh and in between all of that bathe feed and put my little boy to bed pfft like this is all guna happen!

another plait, incomplete OFTD and never ending shopping

heart print puff sleeve top- city chic
jeggings- evans
flats (unseen) kmart

This is my mums take on "take a pic of what I'm wearing mum" I guess she wasn't too interested in my jeggings and shoes. mah.

I bought this top last week at Chadstone City Chic. Unusual for me yes as I pretty much loath and detest City Shit but I love this top and it looks awesome on ididosaysomyself. I think it also looks good because I have lost a few kgs which I am really happy about. Treadmilling it daily and starving is working! haha, JK.. on the starving business, as if. Love food waay too much. Just trying to make better choices.


Ignore my naff expression and the baby bottle in the background LOL just wanted to show this tops neckline off again- I really like it and give me abother 5-10 kilos off I will wear this top with a high waisted black skirt.
So I went shopping today. Jeez I am a shopping monster. Maternity leave and no money means nothing lol. First off, City Shit. I think the girl in there didnt like me coz I picked one an extremely unflattering night dress- is it just me or are their "evening" dresses extreme unflatterworthy for fatties? Like the pale pink mini dress that is new, I mean, yes its LOVELY but I reckon it would make me look like a marshmallow.. notice I said ME and not FATTYS in general LOL. I do LOVE all the blush/pink tones but not in a full on dress!
Then I went to Myer and had a look for a dress for hubbys high school hideous reunion next month. mah. I reallllly shouldn't have been looking anyway considering I own about 12 dressed to choose from for a night event. I did however find the below Monroe "biker" (patchey things on the knees?) leggings. I went down about 2 sizes from usual, a because like mentioned I have lost a little weight and b because they worked like gurdle pants and sucked me in! I liked them! And $22.50 from $69.95- hullo!


Then we went to Savers. I bought Billy lotsa cutey things including $4 Pumpkin Patch denin overalls and a cotton on baby I love hooters bodysuit. I also found this sparkley marvels for $9.95! I also bought a $12 long black cardigan but its in the wash so no pics LOL


Finally, best and less. I love you Lilly and Lou. What a great little Fatty label. I bought the below cute thing for $20. I love it. I wish it was culottes but I still love it. I wanna wear it with leggings and a blush tee in spring/summer.


I then went home and collapsed LOL. shopping with the little 3 month old chuckle monster can be draining :)
