Happy New Year!

Happy New Year and welcome 2013!

Hope all of your years have been good, and here's to another fab 365 days!

Roundup: My Year

What an amazing and emotional year this has been.

I started off in January as a fresher at Uni studying for a Business degree and having the time of my life as a student, lots of drunken nights out and not a whole lot of studying!  My life couldn't be more different now - I have an absolutely gorgeous 2 month old little boy called Noah, I finished my first year of Uni with a 1st (not bad considering I had 16 hours of exams that I studied for and sat with horrible morning sickness!) and am genuinely also having the time of my life now, just in a very different way.

In 2013 I hope to go back to studying, I LOVED my course, loved living in Bristol where I was at Uni and think it'd be a shame to waste the first year I've already got.

Keep smiling everyone, I have a feeling 2013's gonna be pretty great =)

Clothes Haul: 8th December 2012

So I decided I was fed up of being in leggings and jeggings and stretchy dresses after having my son nearly 6 weeks ago, so it was time to take the plunge and go and buy some jeans and a couple of flattering tops that actually fitted me.

This was my first time shopping with Noah, and oh my goodness it's almost impossible!  If I hadn't had my sister there with me I'd have given up I think - prams and changing rooms don't normally mix very well!  So rather than my usual tactic which is to go to a million different shops and then usually uy the first thing I tried on (sound familiar haha?!) I decided New Look would be my best bet for some affordable style.

Pre-pregnancy I was a size 10, so it was gutting to be trying on size 14 jeans =( but then I found these, which look great, fit well AND are a size 12.  I know in the grand scheme of things a 14 isn't even that big but it's all relative isn't it with what you're used to?

The lighting in my pictures isn't very good so the jeans look really dark, but they are navy!  Here we are, moment of truth (ahhhhhh no judging the baby belly please!!!) ...........

My waist has also disappeared and yet to make a re-appearance as well as having a tummy to cover, so a lot of my normal tops just don't fit right any more ~ bring on the peplum!  So flattering, pretty and girly, there's nothing I don't like about a peplum, and this one's only £8.99 from New Look - what a bargain.  It comes in 7 different colours, I got the purple and really wanted the cream, but they didn't have it in a 12 =(

I also got this gorgeous textured peplum top for £14.99.
