A Few Things
As promised, here's a few pics of the things I've picked up in the sales so far.
Colette have 50% off all jewellery:
Diva have a sale on but I bought this full price after wanting it for ages:
Target have a pretty good stocktake sale on, with 50% off all women's jewellery, I saw these exact earrings in Sportsgirl and almost bought them for $12.95:
Forever New have a further 30% off sale stock:
Temt didn't seem to have a sale but I spotted these gorgeous jeans at full price:
I had a credit note for Bardot that needed to be used up and I wanted something I could wear after bub is born:
I don't ever really go into Jeanswest, it's just not my kind of store. But they were having 40% off storewide including sale stock so I grabbed this:
The last thing I bought was a pair of shoes for the little mister. It's very hard to find shoes for an 18 month old, they need to have grippy soles as my son loves to run. Size 4 seems to be the hardest to find always!
Please keep me posted on your own bargain buys!

36 Weeks
Feeling very uninspired to post outfit shots lately. Every day is pretty much the same thing so I might take a little break until after bub has arrived and I can fit into some normal clothes again!
My obstetrician appointment yesterday went well but she is a little worried about bub being a bit small so I have to have a scan next week to double check all is ok. I'm not worried as the same thing happened with bub #1 and he was born a healthy 6 pounds 15 ounces. Small chance I could be induced early but won't know until after the scan.
Not much else happening around here! Just getting a few bits and pieces ready for the new arrival. A few bargain buys here and there that I'll post about when I remember to take some photos! Also planning on dyeing my hair over the next few days so will blog about the process and the success/failure lol
Loving all the stocktake/mid-year sales starting! Even if I can't buy much I still love browsing! If you see any great sales that I should know about, leave me a comment!

Brrrrr!
Things have been a bit miserable here the last few days. All three of us have had a cold, hence the lack of blog posts! Was supposed to attend a lovely high tea yesterday but I missed out because I was just too sick. Actually starting to feel a bit better now thank goodness! The weather has been crazy, hot and 26 degrees then cold and windy the next day. I don't ever remember the weather being as weird as this before?!
I wore my coral ASOS maternity jeans for the first time a few days ago. About 20 minutes after putting them on I noticed a loose thread under the zipper. Upon closer inspection I discovered a hole about an inch long! Off they came and back to ASOS! I didn't want to risk the same thing with the other pairs so I've also sent back the cornflower blue and the leopard ones. I'm really disappointed because I thought I was set for winter but I'll just stick with my Jeanswest maternity jeans instead. And I'll keep the red ASOS jeans because I've already worn them but I'll need to check over them every time I wear them just in case!
So back to the drawing board for an outfit to wear to my sister in law's engagement party! I'm now officially a bridesmaid (yay!) so I'd like to look as nice as I can, but at 38 and a half weeks pregnant it will be hard! The dress code is smart casual and it will be pretty cold so I'm thinking layering is the way to go. This is quite a mean feat when pregnant as you can easily start to look a lot bigger than you actually are.
I've bought this shirt to wear from Forever New:
It sits really nicely over the bump, I just hope there is room enough for me to grow a little bit more!
I really wanted this gilet to wear over the top:
But my local store doesn't have it in stock (apparently never got it at all). I've emailed head office to see if it can be transferred from another store but I'm not holding my breath. And I'm having trouble finding something similar elsewhere so I may have to change my outfit plan again!
Well that was quite a rambly post haha, should be back to normal posting any day now :)

Snow Leopard
I paid extra for ASOS express shipping but I didn't hold much hope in my parcel arriving very fast because of some other feedback I've read. I placed my order last Thursday night and it came this morning! Is that even possible from the UK??
After wearing my red ones all day yesterday they had stretched so much that they were almost unwearable :( we don't have a dryer so I can't shrink them that way. I think the size smaller would be too small. These ones however are cut slightly differently. They were much tighter to do up and they're a bit more fitted through the leg. They're also a bit shorter which is good for me. Overall I'm happy with the leopard ones!

Headed out for brekkie this morning for my mother in laws birthday, now back home taking it easy for the rest of the day :)
Close up of my hair cut:
Not really happy with it, I feel like she hacked at it. I think I need it thinned out at the bottom a bit. Might give it a few weeks and see if it grows on me.

Phew!
My ASOS order came yesterday, consisting of the 3 pairs of maternity jeans I posted about earlier. Being pregnant has made it hard to know exactly what size I am as most maternity sizing allows for growth but I have also put a lot of weight on so it was a pure gamble if they would fit or not. Thankfully they are perfect!
The blue ones are a great colour, pretty much the same as the website. The other 2 pairs have me a little distressed. The red is a lot lighter and the coral a lot darker than on the website - which makes them almost identical! The above photo shows a fair amount of difference but in daylight they are almost the same :( Trying to decide whether to send one pair back and if so, which ones!
Because the fit is so good I bit the bullet and bought these:
I know they'll be pretty unflattering but I love me some leopard!
I had to take some things back to Cotton On so I exchanged them for these:
They were 2 pairs for $50.00. I like the grey but I'm not sure about the tan. On my way out I spotted these:
Now I'm having second thoughts about my purchase. I'll mainly wear them with my new coloured jeans and the leopard ones, so I thought grey would be best but now I don't know which ones I like better! What should I do??

Today marks a sad day. My wedding rings officially don't fit anymore! Will have to look for a nice chain to wear them on for the next few months :(
I saw these on ASOS today, while not everyone's cup of tea I love them! Wouldn't be game to wear them pregnant though. Might have to check out the Kmart bargain $19 ones for post pregnancy!
