ITWBN meet up and 1st Birthday and I have some NEWS......

1:49 PM

Hello lovelies,

Here's a #ealthrowbackthursday post... Myself and Aggie recently went to another fun ITWBN meet up which was also the ITWBN first birthday organised by the two powerhouses of the group Sinead HERE and Saibh HERE who always do such a fantastic job!

The meet up took place in the amazing G hotel here in Galway-and was jam packed with bloggers, speakers, pop up shops and inspiration...

Our first speaker on the day was the lovely Sinead Burke from Minnie Melange who I have to say was my fave!! She told us all about how she started up blogging and gave us a peep into her vast fashion knowledge-if you haven't already looked her up she's Minnie melange on all her social media and her blog is HERE

Then we had Dee from castle print who gave us insight into branding-castle print do all the printing for ITWBN and the events and everything always looks perfect-visit them HERE also lots of lovely bloggers have gotten their business cards from Castle Print and they are very nice.

Next up was our break where we were treated to yummy treats thanks to the staff at the G-including hot food and tasty bakes!

The break also gave us a chance to peep around the pop up shops and some of our faves from before were there debenhams, body shop, cotton face....

These Versace perfumes were part of the Debenhams display and also we have samples to test!

After our break we had Wayne Denner-the digital ninja, who I also really enjoyed both as an avid internet user and as a parent. He told us all about our digital footprint and how important it is to be careful what you put out on the net-check out his webiste HERE

Karen from Karora rounded up the speakers on the day and what I loved most about her talk was all about her start up as a young mom-very inspiring and incredibly hard working lady! We got some Karora samples in our goody bag-I have never tried it so keep an eye out for a little review soon.... check out the products HERE. I also loved her tan....

Here's myself and Aggie with the man himself-the Galway Player-check his blog out HERE. During the break the Player and also Tierney talks HERE provided us with some great entertainment!

AND finally I have some news to share.... I am pregnant with baby #3 and here I am with my little bump on show at the event with the yummy mummy and previous guest blogger here on #eal Melissa from lipstick and louboutins HERE

Thanks for visiting and expect some pregnancy type blog posts soon....

Pregnancy Style | Back To Basics

Pregnancy style and dressing for pregnancy was a total learning curve for me. I never gave it any thought until my time arrived. To be honest I used to get a little embarrassed if I wandered into the maternity section, a bit like a man wandering into a women's underwear section and I have no idea why!!

This is my first guest blog post for the lovely Aideen and Emily and my aim is to stick to the basics. I will be discussing items of clothing you will 100% need and that I spend most of my days in. The first thing that stopped fitting me was my jeans! It was a sad day when I put them in the bottom drawer! If you like you can purchase a waist band extender but I found them a little uncomfortable so just kissed goodbye to my skinnys for the next few months anyway. Leggings are now your best friend but please please remember the golden rule...if you wear legging make sure the top you are wearing covers your bum. We all know the girls that walk around town wearing them as pants. Being able to see the print and/or size of someone's knickers is a little TMI for me. Don't get me wrong I love nothing more than leggings and my other halves T-shirt when I'm cleaning the house but I wouldn't go out the door without a long vest top, cardigan or loose blouse covering my bum!

Speaking of knickers print, new underwear is something else you will need more of. You are naturally going to put on a little extra weight so make sure your underwear is super comfy. I love the ones from Penneys with the lace waistband. They aren't tiny but the aren't huge and the lace makes them feel girly and pretty. Don't resign yourself to Bridget Jones panties just yet!! When it comes to bras you are more than likely going to need to be measured for a new size. This is one of the better sides to pregnancy. I went to Marks And Spencer's in Cork city to be measured and the girls were super helpful. I got the fright of my life when she told me I have gone from a 32B to a 34D!! Sure I was only loving life! I felt like a new woman in my new boob jail. I honestly don't know how I was even breathing in the other one.

I could go on and on but I want to leave it at that, the basics!! ;) I really hope you guys enjoyed this blog post. Feel free to comment your feelings and experiences below!

Love Melissa
