Bronte and I dropped Elka to daycare today and then hit the shops. Its been awhile since I have got to shop for myself properly. I hit the Witchery sale and tried on a million things but left with this top, which I showed in my last post in a lovely shade of violet.

I also grabbed a cute striped singlet. I then had a mission to find a black drape cardigan to wear over the violet top for Elka's party - Bardot came up with the perfect one and over $50 off it too!
Then I hit a shoe sale and bought two new pairs of boots. To be totally honest I probably didnt need them - I have more knee high boots then I can fit on my shoe rack but I LOVE them. I have been wearing boots over jeans since I went to Europe in 2006 and fell in love with the stylish Italian women all rocking that look. I wanted a new pair for Elka's bday and I couldnt decide between chocolate and black, they both have buckles, I just love buckles on shoes for some reason - fortunately they were having a 50% off second pair deal, so how could I say no. I still havent decided which ones I will be wearing!


By this stage Bronte had been kicked out of the pram thanks to all the shopping bags hehe. Can't say how good and strange it felt to be wandering the same shops I was in less than two weeks ago in early labour, feeling much slimmer and able to buy normal sized clothes again! Pregnancy is a wonderful thing but how I love having my body back and a beautiful baby in my arms instead :)

About Me
- Amy
- I am 30 years old, am a microbiologist with a PhD and love looking after my little farm. I compete in dressage and showjumping with my horses. I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte. I am a mother who works and has a career - just don't call me a "working mother". I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)

I love that violet top - what a great style. I can't believe you're back into size 9 jeans already. I can't even manage that now.
Love the Witchery top you bought!
Do you mind if I ask where you got the boots? Both pairs are divine and exactly the kind of boot I love!
I am also having major boot jealousy issues they are gorgeous!!!
Thnaks guys!
Lyds - i think they are a big cut 9 ;)
The shoes are from Novo - they had heaps of great lower heeled boots. Happy shopping xox
Definitely the brown boots - they rock! Loving your purchases - thanks for sharing..
Living the boots. It's so nice to get out ad about with a new baby xx
