Dressing For Summer Parties As A Mum-To-Be

Pregnancy is a really exciting time; there are lots of things to learn, buy and think about when it comes to your unborn baby, but until your due date you’ll have other things to think about too! There is everyday life to get on with, whether this is working, studying or whatever else you do in the day. Then there are social events such as weddings, birthdays and other celebrations too - you won’t want to sit inside for nine months whilst everyone else you know is having a brilliant time. Sometimes it might feel like a struggle, but if you embrace your pregnancy and realise that you can have just as much fun as your friends and family, it can become a whole lot easier.

One thing I noticed was how self-conscious I initially felt at parties as I felt like my outfits were frumpier than those of my friends; it turns out this is because they were! I wasn’t dressing for my shape, tending to cover up instead. So I thought it would be helpful for you, the mum-to-be, if I put together a few tips on how I changed my style to dress for summer parties when I was pregnant. Here they are...

Don’t head for menswear

The first mistake I made was going to the menswear section of my local department store in the hope that I’d find some loose fitting outfits for the latter months of my pregnancy. I admit, I bought some clothes there, and I also wore them. But I felt so unlike myself! Where was my shape and personality? In the end I chose to put the clothes in the charity bin and headed to the maternity section instead; it was a wise choice! It’s hard to dress for summer parties when you feel so unglamorous in men’s trousers.

Maxi dresses are essential

Day 5: Blogging España Style!

The weather's hotting up here in Almerimar and even the morning walks require hats and cream. Just near the marina to the east, there is a nature reserve that is home to flamingos and many species of birds ranging from stilts and avocets to roller birds and bee-eaters.

Our walk this morning was curtailed by some flooding and the threat of mosquitoes, so we did the civilised thing and retired a cafe, leaving a more adventurous trek for when we are better equipped.

Here are some pics:

Day 4: Blogging España Style!

This photograph is evidence that you can ski in the morning and chill out on the beach in the afternoon here in Andalucía.  The snow capped peaks in the background are part of the Sierra Nevada range.  One of the southernmost in Europe, the ski resort is near the beautiful city of Granada and offers some great conditions, often in the sunshine.

In winter and spring, the windsurfers here in Almerimar sail in the bay whilst looking up at the snow covered mountains above.  It is a great setting, and mostly undiscovered by travellers who dismiss it as a wind-blown desert.

So,that's enough talk, where's my board and sail?

Crowds Boo At ViratKohliAt The Wankhede Stadium

Crowds Boo At Virat Kohli At The Wankhede Stadium

One can reflect upon the times people live in, with the encounter Virat Kohli had with crowds at the Wankhede Stadium. This happened during a run out incident which turned into a controversy during the match on Saturday night against the Mumbai Indians. Virat Kohli, captain of the Bangalore Royal Challengers team was targeted by the supporters of the Mumbai Indians team packed into the Wankhede Stadium. He was attacked with unfair jibes by the supporters.

Virat Kohli became very emotional and reminded the supporters that he also plays for India to. The crowd booed him and termed him a cheater when he later appealed bizarrely to dismiss Ambati Rayadu, batsman of the Mumbai Indians team. Virat is known to be a person who always wears his heart on his sleeve. He tried reminding the crowds that he did not come to play to be hated, but to play for his country. Questions are being raised on whether the standard of people watching the cricket matches is deteriorating within the country or not. Questions are also being raised on whether there should be any reaction from cricket players. 

As far as team sport is concerned, the crowd is considered to be the ‘extra man’. The chants in the crowds are deafening and roars vociferous which could either give inspiration to the home team or lead to demoralization of visitors. The crowds also cheer passionately when they resemble a mob that is of the unforgiving kind and bays for the blood of a gladiator. Cricket has always been considered as a gentleman’s game but at times, it is the emotions that could sway people, making their behavior towards the opponents very ruthless.

In the past it has been seen that the crowds at the Wankhede Stadium can be very hostile at times. In a game between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab, Yuvraj Singh was targeted in 2008. The game was an affair that could thrill anyone in which King XI Punjab had clinched a run out dramatically off the last ball. Yuvraj became very animated and started running around the park in the midst of stunning silence.

Strife Between Anurag Kashyap And Mega Star Amitabh Bachchan Ends!

Strife Between Anurag Kashyap And Mega Star Amitabh Bachchan Ends!

Strife Between Anurag Kashyap And Mega Star Amitabh Bachchan Ends!

Anurag Kashyap, Bollywood director and megastar Amitabh Bachchan had a strife between them around two years ago which came out in the open. Now both of them have buried the hatchet. In his Facebook page, Anurag had hurled many accusations against the Bachchans. It seems the film release of ‘Chittagung’ a film made by Bedabrata Pain, Anurag’s friend was sabotaged deliberately by the Bachchans. It was during that same time that Abhishek Bachchan’s ‘Kheley Hum JiJaan Se’ in which was scheduled for release and to promote this film, the Bachchans had sabotaged, the film made by Kashyap’s friend. There was an obvious rift between the Bachchans and Kashyap since then.

As of now there is good news that the differences have been buried by them and they are expected to again work together. In a film collection called ‘Bombay Talkies’ directed by Kashyap, Amitabh Bachchan is expected to appear in a short film. The four short films are directed in a collection by AnuragKashya, Dibakar Bannerjee, Zoya Akhtar and Karan Johar. In fact the impact Amitabh Bachchan has had on his fans has been dealt with in Anurag’s film. It seems that Amitabh Bachchan has taken the first step to mend the rift between both of them when on twitter, he praised Anurag’s film, the ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ openly.

When Kashyap was asked what had happened he said that there was certainly something that caused the rift between them both, though he has forgotten what it exactly was. He says that a smaller man does have a big ego, but it was Amitabh Bachchan’s personality that went out to praise the ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ film. Anurag says that though everyone had told him to reply Amitabh then, he hadn’t done so and didn’t feel any reason to do this as well.

Then one day he felt that it was high time that the issues got resolved and Amitabh himself had given him the chance. So, Anurag took two pegs and replied the megastar asking if they could meet. Amitabh said that he could come whenever he pleased and this time the Amitabh Bachchan fan came out from within him. Anurag has admitted that he is a big fan of Amitabh Bachchan and both are going to make a film together, the coming year.
