Considering that my pregnant belly is rapidly expanding so much so that I waddle rather than walk now and my level of exhaustion is like nothing I've known before, life lately has been pretty busy. Here's a little round up of what I've been doing recently (along with lots of sleeping!)

| Debenhams' 'Style Army' At Their Press Day |
I've been a bit naughty this season and not attended many press days, mainly due to other work commitments but largely due to feeling vile all the time. I did however devote a couple of days to doing the press day circuit recently. Above is what Debenhams will be offering come winter, think 70s, faux fur and fringing.

| After I took this picture the mummy and daddy geese turned around and started attacking my car! |

| Well done Mr Norris, finishing strong and wearing a questionable hairband! |
The boyfriend ran 100km from London to Brighton last weekend. Running is arguably his greatest passion but he was also doing the event to raise money for a charity close to our hearts, the Alzheimer's Society, because my poor Dad has the terrible disease. I was the support crew, meaning I drove along country roads getting lost and attacked by geese as I searched for various checkpoints so I could fill up his water bottles, give him words of encouragement, change his socks and feed him pasta and jelly babies. He finished it in an incredible 16th position. If you have a spare 5 minutes you can read his account of the day here. Well done Norris!
Bank holiday weekends don't exist if you are self employed, but it isn't really work when you get to dress beautiful actresses in stunning couture gowns and diamonds in 5* hotels. Here's a little behind the scenes shot of the day and I can't wait to share the full shoot when it's published.

| Denim shirt dress £39.99 Zara BUY HERE |
I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with the whole maternity dressing thing and the fact that the weather is still rubbish, so I took myself off to the West End in search of clothes that will suit my changing form. This chambray shirt dress was a winner, but until the weather warms up and I am guaranteed more than 2 wears of it I'm going to refrain from spending. I'll be doing a little blog post soon of what actually made me part with my cash.

| Grey Lamp £65 Lapin & Me BUY HERE |
And sorry to bore on about the imminent arrival but here is the first thing I've bought for it. Super cute right? And in gender neutral grey so it'll match the rest of my home. But 10 weeks until D day and this is it...a lamp. I have pages of lists of essential items (how much stuff do babies need by the way, oh jeez!!!), plus I still need to decorate the nursery and learn how to change a nappy and decide on a birth plan and research hypno-birthing and read Gina Ford and the Baby Whisperer and ARGH!!! But at least the baby will have a cute lamp if nothing else.
Have a great week!
