I think he's a-coming

This could be the last time you see me for a while. I haven't had a chance to respond to your many kind comments and questions of late, nor to comment on your blogs. If I have a nice drawn-out labour (hah), I will most certainly endeavor to distract myself by catching up with life in the blogosphere.This is me Friday night about to go out for dins with a group of friends. True to my maternity style ethic these days, I tarted up black leggings and...

Bionic woman & Danskin memories

Last week: 38 weeksThanks for all your comments last post re: The Reader Changeover - I think I've managed to change everything that needs to be changed. You can find me on Google + and Bloglovin.

My "posh" thrifting outfit

Last week's thrifting outfit(37 weeks)I had to chuckle at hubby's comment last Saturday when I was about to depart for a wee thrift dig at my local thrift shop. Like most thrift stores I know, this particular shop isn't in the trendiest of areas. Rather, it's located on a slightly ramshackle street in a suburb of Annecy, with lots of warehouses and a railway track to boot. I think it's the heartbreaking story I once relayed to hubs about having a...

Vintage accessory-obsessed

38 weeksMaybe it's because I'm living in the same pair of black maternity leggings and a small selection of tops that cover my expanding butt and thighs, but I'm particularly obsessed with the details of outfits these days. And I've found some real vintage gems of late to help me jazz up my maternity uniform.This 1980s? tapestry handbag, found on Etsy, is a fave. Normally I wear it cross-body as the strap is long and not adjustable. It's large enough...

I am like the lilacs

My take on Spring: thrifted over-dyed '90s grunge dress accessorized with deep lilac and plummy tonesEntirely thrifted outfit (except for tights)(End of 37 weeks).A 20-minute power shop in the local thrift shop before our OB appointment Friday yielded this amazing 1990s dress that I practically lunged at when I saw its deep purply hues.Not only does it remind me of the over-dyed dresses I used to buy in the 1990s, but it is also the perfect complement...

Boho brown & last bad hair pic

Last week: 36 weeks, behind the Clinic where I'll be giving birth.I'm becoming a master in the art of jazzing up mass-bought leggings with second-hand and thrifted goodies.Last Friday, when we went out to dins with pals, I decided to go slightly upscale. Over my H&M leggings and stretchy C'est Moi tank bought new in Toronto years ago (best tanks EVER), I wore a French-label statement piece blazer I picked up last summer in the consignment shop...
