STYLE STEALING...

Gwen Stefani…

Rock star. Fasionista. Mommy. Glamorous.

My kinda woman…

I love everything about her style. Leather pants, jeans, heels, gorgeous bags, statement lips and perfectly groomed…but best of all she is a mommy!

I'm basically her…minus the rockstar status! Just trying to be the perfect version of me…I love leather, jeans, heels, gorgeous bags, statement lips and being perfectly groomed, but best of all…I'm a mommy!

I love being a mommy and I love being a stylish and fashionable mommy...with Gwen as my style inspiration I can try being a rockstar mommy, but I'm definitely a glamorous mommy!!!

CREATURE OF HABIT...

I have a few favourite beauty products that I stick to and that I consider must have's...I try and venture into new trends but always come back to the original...not clothes but my beauty and personal routine.

My hair colour is always the same, my make up routine stays the same, my nail polish is always the same colour and I hardly ever change my perfume...and I'm talking for a looong time now! I love changing up my clothes, but if I think about it I always lean towards the same styles...

Is it a case of  "if it's not broken", or do I just know what I like and what works for me???

Whatever it may be I like the familiar and like that it works for me and with me...not against me and not fighting for the love of fashion....but enhancing what I've got! Metallic eyeshadow and cat eyes were never a good look for me...I could however try the fuchsia lip...but then again pink is not my thing...bring on the vamp nails and oxblood lips, like I say "stick to what you know", so here are some of my favourites that I would like to share with you…

PARTY TIME!!!

My son turned 3 this week…




Planning his birthday party has taken about 8 weeks! It started with me asking him what party he wanted...it was between motorbikes and Disney's Planes.  Every week I would ask him and slowly it became clear that Disney's Planes was the favourite, so the planning began...

Gosh what a production it was and quite stressful I might add! How many kids? Where are we having it? What colours? What about the food? What are we giving as "thank you" gifts???

If this is what a 3 year old party was like what will it be when he turns 16, 18 or 21???























One of  the mommies said that apparently you have to invite the amount of friends as his age, e.g. 3 yrs 3 friends and so on...however who do you invite and how do you choose? As a result my son had 3 celebrations...one at school for 16 classmates, one on the weekend for 14 of his friends and a birthday dinner with mommy, daddy and family on his actual birthday, did I mention he's 3???

It made me wonder...do the mommies set the bar when it comes to their kids? Is it actually the mommies that want the best party for their kiddies? In the end the kids just want to run and play and gave a great cake and red fizzy juice...maybe a few chippies or some sweeties..simple!

Yet the look on his little face when he saw all his Planes decorations and all the yummy food...that mommy end up eating most of this week, cause we had so much left over! Cupcakes and jelly worms and magic beans...

But hey, what we wouldn't do for our kiddies right???

Next up...my daughters 1st...in August and I've already started planning! Angelina Ballerina here we come!

The best part of giving our little monkey moo this Planes party was that it was really the 1st birthday he knew what was going on, he was excited and he loved every minute of it! Pure joy and happiness!




Is his 4th birthday going to be bigger and better??? We will have to ask him now what theme he wants so mommy can start planning...
