PRETTY YOUNG THING

TOP: PRIMARK //  JEANS: NEW LOOK // BELT: PRIMARK // BAG: ACCESSORIZE // SHOES: MATALAN // BRACELET: DAISY LONDON* 

How cute is this outfit? I've been seriously loving this polka dot top! I got it in Primark as I really loved the polka dots but wasn't sure as it's a crepe material and I felt it was a little formal/ workweary

I'm so glad I got it as I feel it looks fab with a pair of jeans and these mustard shoes from Matalan. I think the red lip and mustard accessories add a little vintage touch to this outfit and I love it! I wore this outfit yesterday and just spent the day visiting family and we had a little mooch around the shops so a pretty standard Saturday! How cute is this little Daisy London bracelet from Browns Family

Jewellers, I love a little bit of Rose Gold and I think it's so pretty and dainty.  

I'm hoping to get back on top of outfit posts as the weather is getting better and I'm feeling a little more confident in myself.

I know!! Another outfit post! Whats going on? Honestly I was feel so rubbish about how I look and don't feel very confident about my body right now. I know i'm having baby and i'm going to get bigger and really need to get over that but I feel like i'm putting weight on everywhere, not just my tummy. I haven't been eating great but i'm planning on eating more healthier for the rest of the pregnancy. 

We had a bit of a scare on Thursday, I hadn't felt the baby move since the Wednesday morning so was worried and didn't really know what to do. I have an anterior placenta which can mean I can have reduced movements as my placenta is basically in the way. I had been feeling the baby quite alot, especially at night time but I hadn't felt her. I phoned my midwife but she's on annual leave so I phoned the hospital (which was a right palarva) and they told me to go in to get checked over. 

We arrived at the hospital and was told to go to delivery suite, when we arrived on delivery suite we were shown to a bed and the midwife went off to get the things she needed. She came back with a Doppler and used this to find her heartbeat. She didn't find it straight away and said she was picking up my placenta, and then we heard it. Her little heartbeat was strong and beating away perfectly. She said her heartbeat was normal. She wanted to check me over so they checked my blood pressure, urine and temperature to make sure i'm all okay which I was and a few hours later we were aloud to leave. 

I really want to start documenting more things like this on my blog for me to read back over in a few years when shes growing up. 

We took these photos yesterday we went to town to have a look around the shops, we were also invited to review the food the the Broadway Casino, it was really good and a full review will be up next week. 

  

I haven't done any outfit posts for such a long time and I really love featuring my outfits. When I found out I was pregnant I stopped doing outfit posts because I thought people might notice my bump, I started to show pretty much straight away from about 7 weeks. Now i'm further along and everyone knows i'm hoping to feature some more outfits on my blog. I am struggling as I don't feel very confident about how I look right now but I want to embrace being pregnant and document my bump getting bigger. 

I thought i'd write a pregnancy update today as I've been meaning to write one for a few weeks. 

I found the first trimester really difficult, I struggled with tiredness really bad, I was exhausted all of the time. My sickness wasn't too bad, I found that I felt sick more than I was actually sick. I suffered with bad headaches and had sciatica for a few weeks. The sciatica started around 15 weeks and I suffered on and off for a couple of weeks. I was advised to get a pregnancy ball which I found really helped. I have started to feel more human, I'm still having the occasional headache and I am still really tired but feeling abit more normal and have a bit more energy. 

We went for our 20 weeks scan a couple of weeks ago and everything is all good, bubba is measuring all normal and we found out it's a girl! We are both super excited to be having a little girl. 

Over the last week or so i've started feeling her a lot, I noticed it a few times when I was going to sleep but i've felt it more and over the last day or so I've felt it during the day which is amazing. It's such a lovely feeling! My placenta is anterior which can stop me from feeling movement, I haven't really felt 'flutters' which is how people usually describe it, i've felt prods, like she's moving or jumping around in there. 

We both so excited and now i'm feeling more human I want to try and write some more updates and feature more outfits on my blog. I am going to start buying baby bits and pieces over the next few weeks. I've been researching baby brands and what I need to buy. If you can recommend any brands or must have products then let me know.

Another outfit post!! I've been trying to get back into outfit posts for a little while now. The weathers been lovely recently so there's really no excuse apart from I just haven't had the time. 

Today i'm wearing this skater dress from Simply Be, I thought i'd team it with a tan plaited belt and some little tan sandals and think it looks so good. The dress is a light chiffon material and has a black underskirt layer. Simply Be have lots of other plus size skater dresses on their website as well as this one. I have been a huge fan of skater dresses for a long time as they always look flattering on my body shape. I've got big boobs and big legs/bum so think the skater style suits me. I wear a lot more body-con and fitted styles now that i've lost weight but I still feel a skater style suits my shaping. I love the cold shoulder style of this dress and think it's so flattering, I really want to add a few more cold shoulder style tops/ dresses to my wardrobe (late to the bandwagon) I wasn't sure about the colouring of this dress when I un-packaged it however I think it looks so much better on and I think with a decent tan it would look incredible. The colours are actually perfect transition shades and will be perfect for Autumn. You could easily pop a pair of tights and a chunky knit cardigan over the top of this dress and pair it with some suede effect chelsea boots!! 

I've popped on another new choker from Johnny Loves Rosie which I love, I think chokers just add a little something to an outfit. I feel it makes the dress more boho style and would be a perfect festival outfit. I'd team the dress with some suede effect cowboy style boots and a tassel bag for that ultimate festival vibe!
