In which our Editor In Chief, Jamila Rizvi, tries to justify buying stuff as ‘work’…
This week I broke. Seven months into my pregnancy and roughly the size of an overpriced apartment in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, I bought my first ‘when I’m back to my regular self’ dress.
It was stupid, I know. Now, every time I reach for the Ice Magic and salt and vinegar chips, I am not thinking of the sugary, salty wellbeing of my unborn child but about stretch marks and enormously thick thighs that might not fit into The Dress.
The dress is at number 2 below, if you’re interested, along with a whole host of other pretty and affordable things I fell in love with online this week. Take a look and see for yourself. The dress is gorgeous and a bargain, so I ask you: how could I NOT buy it?
1. Asiana Bowl by Salt and Pepper.
RRP $29.95 for a set of four.
Not each. Not each. For a whole set you only pay $29.95 and when you pour takeaway Chinese or Malaysian into these dishes it looks so good, it’s almost like you actually cooked at home yourself. Almost.
2. Embroidered Silk dress from Harpery.
RRP $85.00
The dress. You feel me?
3. Baby zip Wondersuit by Bonds.
RRP $22.95 or currently on sale, two for $30.00
I am starting to get baby buying and these have been recommended to me as being (a) cute (b) a bargain and (c) doing up with a handy zip instead of those fiddly little press studs.

When the hell did bonds get so expensive? Kmart sell the same jumpsuits for under $10
Seriously? I want to know if you're feeding me advertorial. Funny how you're not publishing my question. It's a fair one we deserve an answer to. I'm just going to have to take this up with Twitter...
Hi Janey.
No this is not an advertorial - we declare all sponsored content on Mamamia.
