Bernice thanks for thinking of me! I can't believe your DS is that age already, the last few months have just flown by. I am still at work, mainly for the aircon. I think my last day will be mid next week, it's getting tough doing 5 full days in a row as I am waking up 5-10 times a night. Found out yesterday baby has turned back to back, so no slouching on the sofa for me anymore 
I (obviously) have no Vogue related news to report :( but very excited for everyone planning holiday wardrobes!
Does anyone have any suggestions for me for clothes for immediately post partum, assuming the weather doesn't cool down in the next 3 weeks? It will be too hot for leggings/harem pants and I am hoping to BF. What would you wear?

Dry your capsule sounds fab, as does the long weekend in S of France, I am well jel. 
shop love the sound of your holiday prep, you'll be so glam! I have booked hair cut and pedicure for next week and cancelled my 4-weekly brazilian wax, I just cannot face it
Viva sorry to hear things aren't great, hope you have a good holiday whatever happens. 
Marsha fingers crossed for more success with future orders! Will be at home tonight for the football. Pizza for dinner as it's zero effort. 
Really pretty dress Everyone, perfect for holidays.

Blair I had my waxing done today - I never usually wax and always underestimate the pain! Toes painted, eyebrow wax done. Nails and lashes tomorrow. I feel for you in this heat. I have no recollection what I wore post partum but I do remember the style stakes were LOW. But miniShop was Jan born. Something loose and flowy. And a cushion to sit on 
Lots of random style challenges keep popping up - one of the girls has just announced there 'may' be a white party going on at the place we are going for dinner on Friday - thank God I had that dress for Grand Cayman as everyone else is panicking.
At home for football this eve with curry and rosé - classy miniShop is allowed to stay up for the first half.

honestly blair after birth, anything elasticated on the waist was a winner for me. I most bought fairly cheap stuff though as i didn't anticipate needing them/being so big for too long. I would, if it were me, go for soft midi skirts, not pencil but soft and flowy with elastic waists for comfort, stretchy vest/other tops (especially if planning to breastfeed) and some nicer cover ups, soft shirt dresses would be a good shout too, basically anything that doesn't cling to your stomach and make you uncomfortable. I know you'll be wanting to retain your sense of self, which is of course important but comfort is really important too, especially in the first few weeks

I’m ready and packed in an impressively teeny suitcase. Nails are bright red. I’m in France for the WC final....how fantastic!
Set off tomorrow early.
WC with DH and gin. Perfect.
COME ON
