well, with all the trauma my mummy is facing due to the continued expansion of her posterior (she assures me it's not another baby)...she felt she was due a bit of good news. she told me very cloud has a silver lining. I therefore expected her to  be grinning from ear to ear as she spotted a silver hair amongst her full black afro. Instead she screamed "nooooo!!! I'm only in my early 30's". I figured this wasn't the time to point out she is actually more mid than early. Oh well, there was only one thing for it.....only she can't shop in zara at the moment.

she decided to enter the daybreak competition to win an Audi sports car full of gadgets & handbags. maybe that'll be her silver lining - after all the car is silver :)!

I, on the other hand have been excited by the new zesty colours in store for spring. mummy bought me this cardi from ZARA a few weeks ago and ever since we can't get enough of the colour!

cardi - zara

hair band - monsoon

here are some of my favourite pieces in zesty lime & yellow :

From GAP

this pretty dress will look awesome with little sandals whilst we picnic in henley!

mummy loves little rompers - not so practical with potty training but cute none-the-less

from RALPH LAUREN:

this dress would be perfect for a little bridesmaid...i'm waiting patiently for my call ...

how cute are these skinny jeans? and that polka dot belt makes me want to go on holiday...

from ZARA

i know this top isn't lime but it will look amazing with the shorts and pinafore dress below it...

i've got work to do. right - where did i hide daddy's card again? see ya!

p.s at the time of going to press mummy had not heard from daybreak about the competition. i guess she didn't win. she better just embrace that silver hair!

we might have a problem on our hands. especially if what i suspect is found to be true. i have been observing the growth of mummy's bump closely to ensure this person does not arrive a minute sooner than promised. now, being one who was once on the inside i have an idea of what this bump should look like at each stage. a week ago i suddenly realised that something was wrong. i watched as mummy excitedly opened her package from asos - a new pair of maternity jeans. i then watched as she tried to squeeze herself into them. by 'herself' i mean her behind. it has grown at practically the same rate as the bump. the two zipper sides struggled to meet in the middle as mummy declared "there's something wrong with these jeans!"

errr...look behind you mother...

it was then it hit me. there's another baby growing in her behind! i don't think she realizes but i worry there is trouble ahead. she actually declared yesterday that she's scared to stand still these days lest a bird should think her behind is a landing perch. why hasn't she cottoned on? that is the only logical explanation - it's just not normal for her to be protruding both front and back to that extent. sigh. daddy doesn't call me inspector clouseau for nothing. well, i now need to start planning how to now deal with potentially 2 new people. hmm..the one in the behind will be my minion for sure!

on another note mummy definitely wont be needing these booty enhancers that one of my aunts spotted in Primark yesterday:

i wore:

coat - baby gap

tights - baby gap

shoes - clarks

mummy wore:

top - cos (old)

jeans - asos

shoes - kurt geiger (old)

jacket - zara (old)

so...the wedding was in goathurst, somerset. sounds posh right? thats why mummy went into a mini outfit panic! anyway, we set off for hunstile organic farm - the venue for the wedding- early on monday morning, mummy hoping there was definitely a wedding on the cards! as sods law would have it, her camera lens decided to jam the night before, meaning we had no way of taking decent pictures. mummy was in some distress as we headed down & watched some youtube videos in search of help. she stopped trying to fix it when the guy got to the part where you now needed a screwdriver. there's diy - then there's DIY.

iphone in hand, mummy got some pictures taken by a shivering daddy upon arrival at the venue. it was freezing !

here i am with daddy as we walked up to the bus that would ferry all the guests to the church. once in church it was time for mummy & daddy to keep me entertained as much as they could! i had fun sorting the collection envelopes. then i spotted a pen and decided i would like to write on the envelopes. mummy immediately whipped out my colouring book & crayons from aunty adenike. that kept me occupied for a while then i decided i wanted some biscuits. i just said "mummy, wheres-a mo-mo's biscuit?". Mummy heard "MUMMY!!!! WHERE IS MO-MO'S BISCUIT!!!" she quickly whipped out the rusks which i dealt with swiftly.

when there was singing, i sang along. when they stopped, i hummed a nursery rhyme, then decided to carry on singing my own made up song as mummy & daddy tried desperately to shhhhhh me!  after that the bride & groom signed the register and i got increasingly bored and restless. i then saw the bride and groom re-emerge and mummy whipped out her phone to take a picture. i said "mummy, mo-mo phone". Mummy heard "MUMMY MO-MO PHONE!!" and handed over the phone quickly whist hushing me. I lay back in daddy's arms as the place fell silent and said "hello? Tina?" . To mummy I may as well have been screaming from a hilltop, she was so embarrassed as those seated in front turned around. whilst i knew they were all admiring my cuteness, mummy felt they were looking down on her lack of parenting skills. well, i proceeded to fill aunty Tina in on the events of the morning so far and as the music filled the air for the bride & groom to exit, my voice ascended in protest to ensure Tina heard every last detail of the morning thus far. mummy laughed so hard but desperately tried to hide it! she said i looked like like a businesswoman making a deal on a sun lounger in Hawaii.

the rest of the day was a blur of eating lots of  yummy food, me dancing with my new friend Jo, and mummy plotting how to get the most comfy sofa she ever sat on out of the farmhouse and into our flat!

 i wore:

dress & cropped cardi - zara baby - last year

coat - baby gap (gift from my godfather - yes, he's got great taste & yes, he's single)

shoes - clarks

mummy wore:

dress - french connection

jacket - zara (last year)

shoes - ralph lauren

brooch - vintage

about 4 weeks ago mummy received an invitation in the post from one of her best friends from high school who told her she was getting married....on April Fools Day! mummy wasn't sure whether this might have been a joke or not, but never one to miss out on an opportunity to buy a new dress she started planning her outfit with military precision. first stop: zara ofcourse. she is currently obsessed with all the yellow in there and, style-wise, wanted something that would look like Victoria Beckham's outfit to Prince William's wedding:

she went into the fitting rooms laden with garments, confident she'd leave with her card slightly lighter and arms a little heavier. her body proved her undoing as she struggled to squeeze herself into one loose fit dress after the other. it soon became clear to mummy that zara + competing bump & backside do not mix. she decided to try on a maxi dress to make herself feel better then left. arms empty, bank card full. back to the drawing board.

mummy decided to shop in her closet & came up with the below outfit, much to daddy's delight.  she initially found the dress only & then realised the clutch bag & shoes she bought for her birthday matched it. she decided to forgive zara and go back to look for a jacket to wear over the top - especially as it was still snowing the week before the wedding! once she realised their new favourite price point was £89.99 for almost every jacket, she left. back to the closet where she found a cream zara summer jacket! perfect!

the moral of this little story is: shop in your closet - you never know what gems are in there!

the wedding was fab! pics of us at the wedding and outfit details are coming up in the next post - plus an insight into how to make a scene during a wedding ceremony!
