The Sneaky Magpie

You have no idea  how many times I tried to write this post.  Every time Freddie falls asleep on me and I put him down he wakes up within minutes. And that’s what most of my days are like.

I try to amuse myself from the sofa and online shopping (and sales!) is becoming dangerous. After buying lots of stuff for the sprout from Petit Bateau, Polarn O Pyret, baby Gap and Jojo Maman Bebe, since he is growing fast and some of the baby grows are too small already, I decided to buy myself something. What could make me feel good in this winter weather? What item of clothing is the least likely to get baby sick on it? A coat! A Farhi coat in navy blue I have been coveting for a while, to be precise, was on sale at 50% so there was no stopping me. I clicked and bought it in a rare moment of freedom when the baby was happy enough to just be. They have not shipped it yet and I am getting impatient.

A pair of shoes would be a nice addition and I am rather taken by these Office options. Not sure which colour though… I already have black brogues so perhaps the beige would make a nice difference.

All of this paired with a stripy top and carrot style jeans could be my standard winter attire. And of course the bugaboo!

Perhaps a good breastfeeding option?

And spring brogues?

Ok, this is what happens if I get stuck with a baby in my arms. I should do something more intellectual like watch a movie or read a book. To be fair I am enjoying Steinbeck’s stories, some I read before, some I am reading for the first time.

And shorter stories too…

I am off for a stroll now, did I say how happy I am to have Richmond Park on my doorstep? It is stunning especially when the sun is shining. I will take some pictures to share.

I couldn’t resist a little play time this morning.

The coat on the model is from A.P.C.; the coat in the middle is Fahri, I love the military look of it.

Shoes are black Church’s brogues and brown shoe boots from Pedro Garcia.

Bag by Chloe.

Scarf is from Maje and hat from the fabulous La Cerise Sur Le Chapeau.

EDIT: After a  (half)day of deliberating I have decided on the Church’s shoe. Monday lunch break will be shopping time!
