The Cat....And The Nursery - a Neverending Love Affair

The cat has had this obsession with getting in everything meant for baby. This includes - the portable basinette, the prams (both of them) the change table, the cot, the bouncing basinette, the rocking basinette, the nappy bag et al...............also killing soft plush toys...namely a lamb, a giraffe and a bear.

I keep being told by various people that this is the cat's way of asserting dominance over the new (yet to be born) baby...I'm like how can that be?? she hasn't even seen a baby before....she knows somethings up with me, and she's been kicked off my belly a few times by the bubba but other than that she has no knowledge of what is about to assault her senses :)

I think it's part of the old adage: 'my cat likes to hide in boxes'.....she just likes to get in things - and she likes soft toys.....

So whenever she's awfully quiet and I realise I haven't seen her for a while I have this sense of dread wash over me........

BABY SHOWER 30th Oct

So Slack - So Sorry. No Baby Yet, but have a new MIMCO baby!

I can't believe how long its been since my last post!.....2 months. That's horrendous. Even for me.

So the much awaited for MIMCO Castaway bag came into stores - it's a quirky take on the signature classic button bag. Having a much publicised obsession with buttons - especialy BIG ones this bag was an obvious must for me. The first ever button bag I bought was in the honey leather and I still ave it and use it to this day. I bought that in 2004 and after 6 years it doesn't even look used!

I have to admit to being somewhat slightly disappointed when I headed into the Chadstone MIMCO boutique to see the bag - I knew it was going to be a quilted denim but in all the campaign photos it looked like it was a lilac/mauve colour.

I cracked the shits and told the MIMCO girl I hated it! LOL.

In the end I ended up using my gift voucher and buying it (as my Nappy bag) and also the Geranium button bag (pictured below) which is actually more pink than red and is just gorgeous!

So I suspect the Castaway bag will NOT become a nappy bag but that's okay....I've just sold 5 bags on ebay ;)

MIMCO Walk The Plank Bag Bigger Pics

Here are some better pics. The Armadillo is a really dark grey colour that I don't like so much but the boudoir (pink) is a really nice neutral colour...though wish it was a little less pink..........

When Is It Going To Warm Up Down South?!!

OMG....I have had good intentions of blogging more often than 3 weekly but have had so much go on in the last 4 weeks. Including getting the diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes which as 50% upset me because of the extra risks to the baby and 50% upset me because I can't eat bananas...and most things I love :(

Anyway I can't believe that Sydney has been having 20 degree minimums for over 2 weeks now ands we're lucky to crack 16 degrees and hae very few of those days with any Sun so it may as well be 12 degrees!

I have all these gorgeous sundresses that I'm dying to wear - that are bump friendly but I refuse to wear them with a chunky cardi and leggings!!



Sorry about the size of the pic above. This gorgeous bag (what little you can see of it) is the MIMCO 'Walk The Plank Bag' shown in Armadillo. I believe it also comes in 'Boudoir' which is a soft dusty baby pink. RRP $450. I am dying to get to a MIMCO and have a look as it's not available online. I'm still waiting for the denim quilted button bag to be released and at the moment it doesn't look like it's going to be any sooner than November like they told me.


I have always been partial to WITCHERY'S shoes as I have always found them really well made, comfy and good quality as well as having some unique classic and also quirky designs. It's only this year that I've lost the Shoe 'Toffee Nose' and have bought about 10 pairs of flats from K-Mart and Target @ around $10 - 15 each. Trendy without a price tag and who cares if you wreck them they were only $10...better yet buy 2 pairs for when you're 1st pair falls apart! :)

These cute cut out pairs below I bought with the Boarding Pass Voucher Promotion WITCHERY is doing that ends on September 30. I was lucky enough to use them during the 'double the promotion' period that has since finished. Instead of the $20 minimum discount I got $40 off (each!!!) on all 3 pairs!!

I LOVE the pair below but they look a bit BLERRGGHH on - maybe it's just my feet :(

These ones are gorgeous and are so comfortable. LOVE the neutral colour they are just so versatile!

I first came across JUNK CLOTHING in a small boutique in Highpoint Shopping Centre which stocked mostly cheap boutique Asian brands like Sunny Girl, XOXOXO, Hot Chilli, Alive Girl etc. I always found their styles unique and well made. Their current Spring/Summer 2010 collection is no exception.

The only retail stockists I've seen thus far is MIRAGE @ The Glen Shopping Centre - who stock JUNK, WISH and Stage 2. Otherwise you can buy JUNK online @ FREEZ CLOTHING.

Sorry about the pic but the gorgeous dress below is on trend with the military inspired theme that is in everything this Spring/Summer. Its from MYER and it's by the MYER exclusive label 'PIPER'. It came in a navy and a Khaki and I bought it as they currently have a special of 25% off when you purchase PIPER items of $100 or more.
