One of my favourite local designers, Natalie Creed, has relaunched her eponymous label with some amazing summer designs. I managed to get an interview with her and will be uploading the story shortly, but for now take a look at the designs that got me excitement in the first place: (pics by Amy Scheepers)

Excuse the strained look on my face, this is what I wore last Saturday (see Im keeping true to my promise of doing maternity outfit updates)
I’m wearing:
-short dress in fabric with metallic shimmer (a gift)
-gold mellisa’s (my favs)
-owl necklace (mr price)
Happy Valentines day to my Valentine, even though he kinda knocked me up and then left town (hehehe-okay, so not tech that bad since he just on a training camp, but this sounds more dramatic)
We never seem to be in the same place for anniversaries and Valentines day’s and things like that, it just always works out that way, weird but true…
Anyways hope you have a great day and here are some alternative valentines day gifts:

| Me&baby at 23 weeks |
It’s week 24 and I still haven’t managed to find my “happy place” it’s been tough going without the husband here and feeling a bit like a burden on my family and friends. It really sucks! I hope I feel better soon though, this whole emo thing is soooo 2 years ago.
But on the baby front everything seems to be going very well (nausea and pain are apparently good things) so yes ALL GOOD, hehe.
This is apparently what I should expect this coming week (according to babyzone.com)

Pregnancy Week 24: All About Baby
In your 24th week of pregnancy, your baby is filling out. Part of your weight gain goes straight to helping him gain weight, too. Since he’s still on the scrawny side, his skin wrinkles on his body, but he looks like a miniature version of what you’ll see on delivery day. His face has formed, ears are in place, and eyes are complete (although his lids are still closed). He has eyelashes, fingernails, and may be growing hair. Rapid eye movements (REM) are beginning, too.

Today’s blog post was supposed to be about my new fascination with cameo jewellery but in light of other happenings that seems rather inconsequential.
A close friend lost her partner and father of her children last night and the very thought breaks my heart, this particular friend (don’t want to mention names in case she is not comfortable with it) is the type you can always run to in time of need and to see her or even think of her (she is out of town) this distraught, is really sad. I didn’t know him well but know from stories that he was a good man and great father. It breaks my heart that she is currently pregnant and has a baby daughter too-it just doesn’t seem fair.
He was very young only 30 and I think what makes it worse is that it was so sudden, no warning no nothing.
If you are reading this my friend I wish you all the best, nothing I can say can make it better, but know I’m here for you no matter what.
LOVE YOU ALWAYS: ELLE
