THE embroidered velvet Zara dress

-
Im so glad summer is over.

I have several reasons why and Im contemplating writing about it all but for now its too raw.

Instead I said to myself to forget the summer, forget the fact I haven't been able to blog for a few months and instead look forward to the future..with the future being autumn my favourite season and the fact I'm pregnant.

For me this means a new wardrobe, blacks, Burgundy, velvet... you name it I want it. yes I'm obsessive like that.

So much so in August I purchased my first autumn dress.. AND its still available.

It could only be from one place..ZARA!!


I am absolutely loving smock dresses, embroidery is still going strong and throw on some tassels and you have a winning formula.

Its navy in colour with the most gorgeous floral embroidery in oranges and pinks - it definately has that 70s vibe.

The first time I wore it (so far only time) I paired it with my tanned cowboy boots.. this dress definitely works well with boots as it is on the shorter side.

 Of course its not maternity but I have chosen this dress to be part of my maternity look.

You can still wear it exactly how I'm wearing it..minus the hidden bump!

I love that the sleeves are more in the balloon style giving it some character along with the embroidery detail.

Its so soft and comfy to wear and can be worn with tights when the wether gets colder.. well thats what I intend to do anyway!



To complete my look I wore oversized tassel earrings as I wanted to be abit out there.. where "there" is I'm not sure BUT I felt it was the right choice.

I love dresses and big statement over the top earrings ..so expect more on the blog coming your way!


What do you think - is this a good maternity look?

Would you wear it if you were pregnant?

Are you not pregnant but inspired to wear it anyway because its THE autumn dress?

I would love to know :) xx

Are you a Mamia Mum?

Have you tried the Mamia range from Aldi? I have to admit I love an Aldi shop and have previously bought quite a few items from their Special Buys... who doesn't love the middle aisles of magical items?! Once Aria arrived they were my first choice for nappies for her as they are voted one of the best brands for newborns and not to mention great value! So when they got in touch and asked me to review their Mamia range I was more than excited! Yes a trip to Aldi without making excuses to my husband. I was given £30 and I was shocked with how much I could buy! (pictured above was just half of it) Being a new mum brings all kinds of stresses and you start realising quite quickly that you want the best for your baby but you also need to shop a lot smarter. The Mamia range offers the core essentials you need for your baby, so I was keen to put it to the test. Nappies and Nappy sacks   Whilst I had previously used these, I had recently swapped to another supermarket br...

Every so often I love to share what I have found useful. Why? Because being a mum its hard to know what you need, what you don't need and how much money it all is! So heres a little insight to what I am loving and I feel has been money well spent: Matchstick Monkey: Have you heard of Matchstick monkey? All I can say is move over Sophie the giraffe there is a new animal in town and I love it.. and as you can see so does Aria! I purchased this when Aria was 4 months old and I haven't looked back. It comes in all kinds of colours, its easy for baby to hold and chew/ suck on AND has a bumpy texture behind the monkeys head to help babies with the texture of brushing their teeth. She takes it most places and its easier to sterilise. For me this teething toy is a game changer and I recommend it to everyone with babies!     The IKEA highchair: Highchairs can be bulky/ expensive and hard to choose. I was so put off by the whole process until my...

Mom Life - The Style Bubble baby products i am loving!

I have had a few of my followers suggest I blog more about Mum life and so I've decided to do a round up of my products I am absolutely loving so far! Being a mum to be or a new mum its sooo easy to fall in the trap of buying every single product on the market because you are led into believing you need it all, truth is you don't. So I have decided to help you cut out the crap and purchase the things you do need and not what you are being told to buy! The Snuzpod:  Originally I wanted to be classic and purchase a Moses basket. Its traditional, pretty and my sister had one and my mum had them when we were babies so I wanted to follow their footsteps. My husband suggested otherwise and to be honest I am thankful he did. The Snuzpod is pricey but pricey with perks. It has a mesh side panel, so when you are in bed you can watch baby, quite comforting in the early days as all you want to do is stare at them. If you want you can also remove the side so you connect ...
