@31 WeeksΞ This summer has been outstanding so far. Sometimes you just have to wear bright colours to honour the sun! This great little dress has been a recent summer staple–great for slipping on post yoga or styling up for work. Its a super simple jersey tank dress with an elasticated waist and pockets–and can be yours for €6 at H&M. I’m impressed that well into the 3rd trimester, this dress from the normal section of H&M fit! So naturally, I also bought it in light grey and aqua.

I’ve worn it several different ways, but have neglected photographing it until now. You wouldn’t think such a bright colour would be versatile, but it’s summer so I think of it as my Little Orange Dress. On this occasion I paired it with my great vintage 1970s beads found at last month’s Dublin Flea for €4. I just love these avacado green, huge beads. Now, you may not be able to tell…but I am completely blissed out after getting a great maternity massage and mini pedi from The Buff Day Spa. If you’re looking for a fantastic spa in the heart of City Centre, Buff Day Spa on Stephen’s Green is the place for you. Everyone is super friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Lynn does a great job using the yummy Mama Mio products to help take all the stain and aches and pains from the 3rd trimester away.

It also helps if your hubby meets you post massage with a Malteesers and chocolate syrup milkshake from Dublin’s first milkshake bar, Shakes. I’m in awe of this place and would like to try a million combinations! Mine was delish, but his was outstanding–who knew Bourbon Creams made terrific milkshake fodder. At some point I might just be bold enough to try Wheatabix (and some sort of chocolate of course!) Shakes is open on Dame Street and is awesome.
