What is your daughter/son wearing at the moment?

Ophelia's wishlist

I have some vouchers and paypal money to spend, plus Ophelia is nearly outgrowing her clothes so I figure now is as good a time as any to have a think about what Ophelia might like me to spend my money on:

Bra from Topshop, £18

Nursing bra Topshop, £20

Nightie, Topshop

For a few weeks now I have been walking around with my breasts basically not sitting in bra space! Thanks to my little girl, I seem to have outgrown the bras that were before too big! I don't really know how I tolerated it so long, possible because pay day was a long way off! Until now! I purchased the above two in sizes much above my usual sizing, in the vague (wishful) hope that they will last me through the rest of this baby growing process! HAH. One of them even has special nursing aspects to it...see...wishful! I'm fully aware I shall probably need to invest in yet more bras in probably a few months/weeks but lets cross this ever recurring theme as we cross it (again).  I have also found my usually very comfortable (in that they are my usual clothing of choice!) pjamas have become too much for my poor growing tum.  Upon touring the shops of dear Brighton, I was quite shocked at how awful that nightie selection was! So disgusting! I'm looking mainly at you Primark! Now, whilst I don't mind disgusting for the labour itself, for obvious reasons! I have to feel comfortable/like my day to day nightwear, seeing as I spend the majority of my time in it!

 I'll let you know how I get on!

Maternity buys

A few weeks ago I went on a shopping trip with Mother and got HEAPS of clothes! Below are photos of some of the things I picked up:  

Swallow print dress, New Look

H and M long shirt with detail. 

                                   

I also picked up a really comfy long black jumper and red silky blouse both from H and M.  As well as these beauties from New Look:

What impressed me overall is how reasonably priced everything I got was.  Everywhere else the maternity wear has been, in my opinion, a lot more expensive than it should be.  I also liked the fact these are things I would not usually wear, this baby is opening up my clothing variety!

Favourite baby related websites and blogs

Here are some recent finds/recommendations for mum blogs and websites that i'm currently loving!


ABSOLUTE favourite at the moment is  Jenloveskev.com

 Jen has THE perfect maternity style, not only that, but her daughter does 
outfit posts, which is quite frankly delightful! I want to be both of them!

I especially love how she wears skirts whilst pregnant.  This is something that i've been skeptical about but she has given me the confidence to try it out.  I've actually scoped out a skirt near identical to this, so can't wait to try it out! Watch this space! Oh and go check out her blog!

Next up, a website which I stumbled across and now that I have, it adds to my list of envy for children's fashion! The website Poco Nido and it is a feast for the eyes! Apart from the fact they both have my favourite animals on, I love the style of their items and plan on buying some of the shoes for sure.  

Another website I stumbled across recently was Nippaz with attitude which is filled with baby grows, wall art and music.  One item in particular has made it to my "BABY NECESSITY" list:

And finally, another blog.  I found this via a shout out on livejournal for mum blogs.  This blog, www.mamauk.net is set up in an online magazine style.  The editor also owns a shop (which sells amazing onsies-ALSO on the "BABY NECESSITY" list!

That green one has DINOSAURS on it! My child is getting that whether it's a boy or girl!!!!


So there we have it, my current loves, go check them out and let me know what you think!
