Outfit Month #27

I had another H&M delivery yesterday... Yes it's a problem!

I had ordered this orange cardigan/shrug for the bargain price of £3.99 as well as this satchel. I'd been eyeing up the bag since I saw it a month or so ago and in that time it's been in and out of my basket too many times to count but what settled my purchase was seeing it on MakupSavvy's blog. Online I just couldn't tell how good the quality would be, Faux leather has the potential to be really terrible and although it was just £15 I didn't want to risk it. Once I saw it "in person" on her blog post however it had to be mine. You can buy it in brown too but I would say the red looks less like it's trying to be leather.. does that make sense? Another mention, last night I put on a top coat of glitter to my Models Own Beth's Blue nails. I used Coronation by OPI which I got in my Glossybox a couple of months ago. I must say OPI is expensive but I really love that glitter.. I have the trial size but I'm sorely tempted to buy the big one when I run out. It gives a really cool finish to my favourite blue polish.

Outfit Month #5

I think I'm doing pretty well keeping up with this whole "outfit month" so far. It's so much easier uploading from my phone if it's everyday commitment.

Today what I am wearing is my new chunky sweater from Primark, Topshop maternity leggings and Faith boots (as you can see from my awesome pose)

Today was my first walk TO work (I usually only have to walk home) so I needed the RedBull.. Don't judge me!

Very neutral makeup today, ABC gum from Urban Decay and Wedge from Mac on my eyes, Peaches blush from Mac and bare lips. I straightened my hair this morning for the first time in ages and I'm gonna have to review what I used on it 'cause it still feels fantastic.

It was also Ella's first day back at school, for those wondering she was itching to get back and had what she called "the best day ever" which is always nice to hear. We're on our way home from Meadowhall (again) now having stocked up on some new schoolwear and taken back some not so flattering maternity jeans to H&M. I did receive a parcel from H&M today as it happens so I'll probably be wearing what I bought tomorrow!

What's your favourite store for basics?

Outfit Month #3

Next Maternity Jeans, primark new long-line vest (love!) and Zara cardigan, BCBGeneration heels and the headband is also primark. Let's not forget the crazy eyes pic showcasing my leopard print nail art (oh how I wish I could crop a photo on my ipod)

Off to my Dads birthday party now..

What's Black and White and Pregnant All Over?

*what I'm wearing*

Maternity shirt  and leggings both from Tophshop. They are so ridiculously comfortable you wouldn't believe it! It feels like I'm wearing pyjamas to work.. AWESOME!

The shirt's pretty sheer so I wear a nude vest from H&M underneath which has quickly become a staple for me. I don't know why I never realised that nude under white was invisible.. all this time I've been wearing white vests underneath sheer tops and I've clearly been doing it all wrong!

Jewellery - Hamsa hand necklace is one I made from bits and bobs I bought from eBay last year and the long key is from F21. My nails are OPI's "Your Cabana Or Mine?" which I am totally in love with and has definitely earned its own post so I'll not get into that now.

I wore plain black Primark pumps which are now my everyday footwear of choice and there you have my current favourite outfit. The shirt is uber fine cotton and so creases like you wouldn't believe but otherwise it's just perfect. Makeup-wise I've rediscovered my love of liquid liner in a big way.. Lauren Conrad has a lot to answer for!

Khaki Safari

*what I'm wearing*

I love this top. It's from Forever21 last year and I haven't worn it much but it will live in my closet forever. It's a keeper, for sure.

Trousers and Next Maternity

My white vest underneath is from Primark.

Sunglasses are Primark too

Necklaces are H&M and the little one was made by me.

Nail Polish is W7 - unsure of the shades with that brand but it's a khaki colour.. love!

Black and Blue

*what I'm wearing*

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.

*what I'm wearing*

I absolutely love it!

I was searching for this necklace everywhere but the black enamel version is last season now and difficult to get hold of so I was really pleased when I found this.

It was realy quick delivery too!

I'm going to have to start doing my outfit posts later in the day because my eyes are so puffy in the mornings :( All the photos look like I've been crying! Argh!

Jeans - Next Maternity

Cardigan - Next (last season)

Necklace - H&M

Stacker rings - Pandora

Love love LOVE this cardigan! It met mixed feelings at Sunday lunch with my Mum telling me it was a 70s reject and my Dad telling me he made a rug similar to it at school (hmm) but I just can't get enough!

It is so comfortable, the colour is me and it would be a fab cover up to a slinky dress on a cold night out. Can't wait to try it our with different outfits. 

I have a night out this week and am yet to find something to wear.. with my growing bulge it's a tough in-between stage in my pregnancy for clothes but I'm trying to have fun with it.
