OOTD | Bump Edition 31 Weeks

It's been a while since I banged out a band t-shirt! Back in April, I went to Leeds with my good friend to watch my favourite band play my favourite album in full. Funeral for a Friend played Hours and my god it was fantastic! I couldn't resist buying this Roses for the Dead t-shirt while I was there - yes I was one of THOSE people who bought merch at a gig.

I absolutely love how simple the front detail is with the rose and lyrics with Funeral for a Friend splashed across the back. 

It's so easy to fall into the t-shirt and skinny jeans trap, so instead, I paired this with my maternity pencil skirt from ASOS. 

Pete and I spent the day shopping and this outfit was perfect for dashing in and out of shops in the rain. First stop was Almost Famous for lunch. Their chilli cheese fries are out of this world. The staff in there are amazing as well, the girl who serves us told me to make sure I ordered my burger well cooked as they come pink (due to bump) which just seemed really thoughtful.  Pete and I both ordered the Triple Nom which is a double cheeseburger, topped with pulled pork, BBQ sauce and slaw with chilli cheese fries to share.  I must admit, this almost defeated me and I was full to the brim afterwards but it was worth it.  I definitely recommend it if you're in Liverpool/ Manchester.

Here's Pete and I posing in the mirror before we headed out! Perfect date day. Pete treated me to lunch, bought me some pretty new dresses, pyjamas for my hospital visit (eek) and the most important, some brand new Mac lipstick. 

How did you spend your Saturday?

Personal | Girl Behind the Blog

I recently came across Jess at Dungarees and Donuts and saw she'd done a lovely little post with 20 facts about herself, which inspired me to do my own. 

1. The name Jegz came from the word jeggings. Calling myself  "Jeggins" started as a joke..
2. Today, I am exactly 30 weeks pregnant - 10 weeks to go and counting. 
3. If I could live off one food for the rest of my life, it would be Mini Cheddars.
4. I hate clowns - my family fully take advantage of this and post photos on my Facebook wall.
5. Shoes are my downfall, especially Jeffrey Campbells. I own a massive 14 pairs of JCs.
6. I love musicals.
7. I will never leave the house without my eyebrows drawn on or without mascara.
8. My favourite colour is green.
9. I swear a lot. 
10. I own over 100 nail varnishes.
11. Winter is my favourite season.
12. I live in my pyjamas. 
13. I'm supposed to wear glasses, but I don't. 
14. Darren Shan is my favourite author - yes, he writes kids books. 
15. Tom Fletcher is the love of my life (sorry Pete).
16. I have a really bad sweet tooth.
17. I'm extremely clumsy. My friend says I'm "jaggerdy."
18. I love mugs - the bigger the better.
19. Christmas is my favourite holiday. 
20. I hate it when things don't go my way as planned.

Life Lately | June

So I've been pretty rubbish at blogging lately. Life has been so busy, Peter and I have just bought our first house together, it's all very exciting! We took on a huge challenge with the house, ripping out bathrooms, kitchens, double doors, plastering, you name it, we did it. 

Today was the big day! We finally moved and my god it's been exhausting. Being 7 months pregnant and packing up your life is tiring business. I wouldn't suggest it. We haven't finished unpacking but I wanted to share a few snaps of our lovely new house because I'm so excited to be here! 

Before

After

We've still got a lot of decorating to do, and the dining room to sort out (we have a through room eep). Our curtains aren't up yet, and neither is our mirror, but compared to what it looked like two weeks ago, it's pretty much heaven! 

What do you think of our little transformation?

OOTD | Bump Edition 28 Weeks

Dress: ASOS // Kimono: Boohoo // Earrings & Necklace: New Look // Bag: Primark // Shoes: eBay

Life lately has meant putting blogging on hold for a while. I vowed at the start of the year to be more blog active, however, with being pregnant, starting a new job and moving house, you can probably imagine how hectic things have been for me! 

I'm back this week with a little outfit post. During my pregnancy, I have moped about the lack of pretty pastel clothes until ASOS came to my rescue with this adorable little number. After seeing it on their Instagram account, I knew it had to be mine! 

I'm not normally a lover of pastels but this Spring/ Summer I've been swooning over them, so when I saw this kimono on Boohoo, I NEEDED it. 

I am most definitely going to be rocking this outfit many a time during the rest of my pregnancy (not long to go now!) given the sun stays out, but who can predict with the lovely British weather we're so accustomed to?

Are you loving pastels just like me?
