If you know me, you know I LOVE a denim jacket (or six...) and when someone tells me they don’t own even one I’m quite literally shocked! They go with almost everything, transition half your wardrobe to the next season AND look super cute. ⠀ ⠀ So I’ve done a round up of my favourite jackets that are currently out, all with a nice amount of stretch so they’re super comfy, and popped them into a blog for you. Happy reading! Xx

Oh happy Long Weekend Eve!! How good is a Thursday that’s dressed up as a Friday! ⠀ ⠀ Almost as good as a striped blazer. Almost. ⠀ ⠀ Marisa @come_style_with_me and I have another #1Piece2Stylists post for you today, featuring 3 fabulous @birdsnestonline pieces: Handpicked by Birds Printed Blazer, Bird Keepers Essential Chino, and Boho Bird Softly Swinging Bamboo Tee (I’m in a 12 in all pieces). I’ve cuffed the chinos, done a #knottietuck with the tee and added ankle booties to dress up the outfit while Marisa has gone a more sports luxe styling (see stories). ⠀ ⠀ I’m actually a little obsessed with this jacket and have worn it with distressed denim jeans too, it’s much more versatile than you’d think! How would you wear it? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #champagnesilvousplait #birdsnestgirl #wardrobewingbirds #mybirdsnestoutfit

These two want breakfast every single morning. How inconvenient 😉⠀ ⠀ I make eggs in some form nearly every morning, but as Bébé gets older he wants more independence with cutting up his food himself which can be scary! Luckily we found the @kiddikutter which is super safe from any accidental slips (swipe to see it in action).⠀ ⠀ Now we just have to keep Bambino away, he loves knives 😳 #scarychild

Getting my shoulders out while I still can (trying to reverse psychology Brisbane into some ACTUAL Autumnal weather... cross your fingers it works for me). ⠀ ⠀ Is anyone else grossly unprepared for Easter? I haven’t bought anyone anything yet. Eek. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Wearing @stfrock Hummingbird Dress In Navy With Apricot Floral (available in sizes 8 to 22 🙌🏼)⠀ ⠀

Today’s #wishlistwednesdaycsvp is on the blog! Featuring khaki & berry tones, it’s the best of the season rolled into one outfit. What do you think?

Oh hey! Hi! Hello! It’s been a while between introductions and there’s a few new faces around (welcome! So happy to have you here!) so I thought I’d do a little FYI tonight. ⠀ ⠀ My name is Rachael, I am the proud Mama to two beautiful Boys: Bébé and Bambino. No that’s not their actual names, just the nicknames I use on social media for them. And at home sometimes too #becausetoocute ⠀ ⠀ I met my husband on my 19th birthday, and he’s the best present I’ve ever received 😉 We married seven (ahem long) years later and two years after that welcomed our darling Bébé into our lives. He was a unicorn baby, perfect in every way (not joking... totally tricked us into thinking babies were easy!) so we quickly started trying for baby no. 2. ⠀ ⠀ We fell pregnant with a baby who was due just before Bébé’s 2nd birthday but heartbreakingly lost just after 13 weeks. And then endured secondary infertility and early loss until we fell pregnant with Bambino in early 2017. ⠀ ⠀ I started #champagnesilvousplait as a space just for me and my love for fashion, something that didn’t have anything to do with being a wife, a mother, infertile, or a business woman (I no longer have my own business as I gave it up to focus on our Rainbow baby) and ironically we found out mere weeks later we were expecting Bambino! ⠀ ⠀ This space has evolved over time and quickly became my passion, hobby and more... I devote what little spare time I have to here and my blogs and LOVE this community! So thank you for choosing to be a part of it!⠀ ⠀ Now I share anything and everything, whatever tickles my fancy! Mostly fashion, I try to pep up the #mumuniform and show you how dressing curves is FUN! But I also share life with the boys, recipes, places I go etc because that’s my life! Stories is total behind the scenes and you’ll often see my boys and every day life on there. ⠀ ⠀ If you’ve gotten this far, THANK YOU! I would love to find out more about YOU! Or how you found me, or ask any question you may be wondering about me! ⠀ ⠀ Much love, Rachael xx

This is the happy face of a boy who just made cupcakes all by himself and now gets to eat one!⠀ ⠀ Thanks to @bakebelieveau’s easy to follow kit that includes everything you need (besides eggs, butter & milk) to make Easter themed cupcakes (or cake, birthday themed or even custom kits) including easy to follow instructions with pictures (Bébé read them easily) and ingredient listings. ⠀ ⠀ I’ve popped some stories up of Bébé making the cupcakes today while Bambino has his nap (he woke up in time to help decorate... How fortuitous 🤔). He was so proud of himself!

Another day another red dress 💃🏻⠀ ⠀ Today @thehairdressermama and I headed to @osbournehotel for the first of the For The Love Of Riesling events. A long lunch of gorgeous @kilikanoonwines Riesling paired with East meets West fusion menu (I had the Karaage fried chicken & Dianne has the Mushroom & Pineapple San Choy Bau... both absolutely delicious) once again perfectly put together but the amazing #osbournehotel staff. ⠀ ⠀ There are three more events this Autumn in the Riesling series, a 5-course degustation menu accompanied with a tasting flight on 1st May, a night of luscious dessert wines accompanied by delicious sweet treats by Chef Ben King on 2nd May, and finally the For the Love of Riesling’ Autumn Harvest later in May... I know which ones I’ll be going to!! Will I see you there?⠀ ⠀ #fortheloveofriesling #champagnesilvousplait

Mummy & Bébé Date 😍⠀ ⠀ Today we had the pleasure of attending the @stamfordplazabrisbane Mad Hatter High Tea. To say it was amazing would be an understatement. Every little detail was well thought out and for 2 whole hours we ate delicious foods and were entertained with face painting, a cartoonist and balloonologist (Who never broke character and was fabulous with the kids!). ⠀ ⠀ Swipe for more photos including a better pic of my outfit and see stories for all the amazing details from today. ⠀ ⠀ #StamfordPlazaBrisbane is running two sittings per day both Saturday & Sunday next weekend and tomorrow - with or without kids, I would highly recommend going along and enjoying the experience!!

You know how I was all smug in my stories about using chocolate to bribe Bambino to be good in photos?⠀ ⠀ Yeah. Well. In all the photos he’s either eating chocolate or has his hand out begging for chocolate 😂😂 #failedstagemum⠀ ⠀ Luckily his beautiful @piperandme pieces steal the show! Swipe to see him beat me at the chocolate game 🙊🙊

Good friends bring coffee. ⠀ ⠀ Best friends bring wine. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Tag your bestie who’s house you’d bring a delicious @6ft6wine to #truelove #ourloveispure #winebeforebros

Those fresh hair feels 💁🏻‍♀️⠀ ⠀ It’s been a year this week since I cut my fringe, I do miss it but there was no way I could do a Brisbane Summer with a fringe (sweaty, humid, nope). ⠀ ⠀ I’ve been growing it out for about 4-5 months and it’s finally at a length where I can style it into a middle part again. The current hair clip trend helps too!⠀ ⠀ Thank you to the @stefanhair @stefan_carindale girls for always looking after me so well 💖💖
