Right now I'm loving......002

This edition of RNIL is a mostly selfish one! In my post pregnancy state I'm looking for lots of things to make myself feel better. Not many of my clothes fit very well, I've purchased a few items but I'd like to fit into my old clothes sooner rather than later. So generally I'm using other make up and accessories to perk me up a bit.

Firstly is YSL's Touche Eclat. Despite having loads more energy than when I was pregnant, I am still super tired. Judah isn't a lot of trouble at night but he does wake up 3 or 4 times so my black bags are something special. I'm hoping this lives up to it's reputation as it's quite lot to pay!  

Next up is something I have been wanting for quite sometime, a leather jacket. I've finally decided on this faux one from H&M, it's only £29.99 and I have a 25% discount voucher. The only light jacket I have is a denim jacket, but the only trouser I have that fit are jeans. I am very anti double denim so I need something new for spring. 


This bag is from one of my favourite brands JuJuBe. I already own two of their nappy bags, they have such attention to detail and come in great prints. Their new 'Legacy' collection is my favourite so far. This bag is the SuperBe which is a large tote bag, would be great for swimming, the beach or picnic. I think the black and white stripes are fun and classy all at the same time!    


One entry not for me! Easter is on it's way and obviously Judah is way too young for chocolate. These bunny ear soothers from Archie's Boutique are so cute and would make much better gift for him.


As I said, I have been using make up to make me feel better about myself. I've just got into wearing lipstick but I don't like the maintenance that comes with it. I'd like to give this lip primer a go, I already have some Urban Decay make up and I love it! Reviews I've read say it helps lipstick last a lot longer. I also hope it will stop my lips drying out so much.


So that concludes this edition of RNIL, of course maternity pay is going to fund very few of these.

Right now I'm loving.......001

I am an excellent online window shopper. I fill my baskets with things I have no money to buy but would love. I have wish lists on websites that are pages long!

I am also really good at pinterest. I can pin things all day long. I am pretty good at picking out pins that are actually doable (some things are look amazing but realistically you need some special talents to achieve). Actually doing them is something else though!

So I have decided to share with you the things I'm loving right now. I will try to  make this a regular post. Then maybe you can benefit from my 'special talents'!

These boys tees from Vertbudet. It's so hard to find boys tees that don't have really cheesy logos and sayings on them, and these are 3 for £9! Bargain!!

This shirt from Modcloth. Am starting to think about post pregnancy clothes, actually that's a lie, I am obsessed with what I will be able to wear! I am so so very sick of the three tops that still fit me. Then there is the consideration of being able to get my boobs out for feeding this kid! So I am all about button up tops right now!  


This camera strap cover from Etsy. As I have just enrolled in a photography course my camera will be out with me lots more. The current strap that came with the camera is so uncomfortable and this looks amazing and will make it much more comfortable! I am also all about chevrons!


These swaddle blankets from Aiden and Anais. I love the look of a baby all snuggled up in a blanket. It is supposed to be great for helping babies feel secure and safe. I can't say I have tried and tested this method with Noah as the week after he was born it was scorching hot so he was just in a nappy the whole time we didn't wrap him up at all! Obviously this time it's much colder so I want to get involved in swaddling. These look amazing and I have it on good authority that they are really useful way after they need to be swaddled. I would actually have ordered these but I like the pink ones so am waiting to find out what we have!


This sweatshirt by Beau Loves from Archies Boutique. Would dress Noah in this entire collection but can't actually afford one piece!`



This gold striped wall. I have been wanting to do this in our bedroom for ages but the prospect of painting it is quite daunting! Right now though I really have the decorating bug. I don't know if it's nesting or just from watching The Great Interior Design Challenge on BBC 2 but I have ideas for so many of our rooms! 



So that's what I'm into this week. I have a child free day on Tuesday so maybe I'll head out and grab some frog tape and gold paint!
