I am totally into flowy tops that skim my bump right now, especially these sheer blouses. I have taken so long to come around to this trend but I am LOVING them now and this one was only £8!!!
Ok, Ok I know I'm living in leggings right now but they're just so darn comfortable!
The top is my newest Primark acquisition, an absolute bargain at just £8!!!
It's a really gorgeous grey/grey/blue colour it's really "me" so I am loving that right now and will be scouring the highstreet for similar shades.
The Blue vest underneath is from H&M and my faithful leggings are, as always, Forever21.
The rings I'm wearing (seen below)... the stackers on the left are a mixture of H&M and Pandora and my engagement ring is the other, of course.
Bag (seen below) is Ted Baker.
My pendant is also from my new favourite shop, Forever21. You just cannot beat them for accessories right now. I love necklaces like this that you can just throw on, no fiddly fixings etc, it's an easy statement piece.
As I'm planning a trip to Birmingham Bullring this coming week I decided to check out what new stuf Forever 21 has to offer. We still have only one store in the UK so to visit the bullring flagship store is a big deal! Here are some of my top picks... and so affordable too!
Necklace I think was from Primark but don't quote me.

I would have preferred the jumper to be a little longer with me wearing leggings but overall this is the comfiest outfit I've worn in ages! Watch this space for some maternity stuff soon though 'cause my choice of work wear is getting more and more limited all the time. Off to watch Gossip Girl now and envy the beautiful hair and wardrobe of Serena Vanderwoodsen *sigh*
A dress from Primark maybe 2 years ago... has had MUCH wear!
Leggings from Forever21
Primark pumps
House of Harlow style necklace (thanks eBay)
I'm still struggling with what fits me right now and leggings are most certainly my friend but there's a balance between comfort and smart enough for work and right now I think I'm kind of on the line.. we'll see where that goes from here...
This jumper is so nice on, Another thing I picked up in the sale recently, the only problem is by the end of the day it looked like I'd had a dog sat on my lap.. it has mohair in it and it gets EVERYWHERE!
I've discovered the morning light in my living room is much better than outside so my outfit posts should be a little better from now on!
I'm playing with some new ways of doing my OOTD posts, this is one, let me know what you think!
Top - Forever 21
Trousers - Primark
Shoes - Next

With my new found tan I had to blend my darkest foundation, MAC NW20 with Benefits tinted moisturiser "You Rebel" to get the right shade. I am wearing MAC MSF is medium dark all over, Hoola bronzer, MAC sumptuous olive eyeshadow, UD Bourbon Eyeliner and UD new curling mascara. I'm wearing MAC lipglass in Revealing on my lips.
Here are the close-ups and swatches as promised...

I have had THE longest day!
Up early for a morning at Ellas school, she was given a "Brilliant Bee" award, very proud Mummy here!
Then a docs appt with Lee and an afternoon of birthday shopping.
It's not my birthday until next week but I want a day to prep and preen (I rarely go out) so I thought I'd do the exhausting shopping a week early. I went a little crazy but it's a treat :) Very excited to get to try out my new Nars. I've wanted the Orgasm multiple and the sheer glow FOR-EVER but I think the sales lady wanted to hug me when I bought a blush as well.. very little sales involved lol. I tried Bella Bamba by Benefit today too and I like it! I think I will purchase next week.. very cute on!
Anywho..
I'm working all weekend so I'll wish you all a great one now, and for those going to IMATS I am sooo jealous but I know I would have bankrupted myself if I'd gone!
