Rainy day: Pregnancy outfit

Hello lovely

Here is the outfit I wore last sunday on Mother’s Day. The sun started shining late in the afternoon and before it was all rainy and grey.

My husband invited me for a nice lunch and later we took a break from working in the appartement and took a Sunday afternoon nap.

Polka Dot pregnancy outfit

Hello together

Today, we had nice weather again after many days of clouds and rain and I took some pictures in the sun. I’m back in Switzerland for almost two weeks and the time passed quick. I have a lot to do with preparing the nursery and our new appartement. I don’t have a problem with the bad, cold weather as I’m anyways hot all the time because of my pregnancy. The people always look at me funny because I’m wearing my summer clothes :-) . At the moment I love wearing Flip Flops. Usually, I’m not the Flip Flop type, but with my pregnant feet, they are the best.

It’s nice to be back, but I didn’t have a lot time to celebrate it. I didn’t even have time to open all my clothing boxes, yet. I just found my shoes and handbag box.

I wish you a wonderful start in the new week!

April reloaded

Hello together

Here my slightly late review for April. It was a busy month and I didn’t have a lot time to read.

Many greetings,
xxo Melanie Rubenesque

Interesting Article:

My highlights in April and what made me happy:

  • A meeting in San Francisco at Pier 39 with the dancer Dud from Danmark and Elizabeth from Israel. Together, we had delicious lunch and a nice time in the sun.
  • Eating delicious sorbet in the Californian sun
  • Together with my husband, I went to the basketball game Oakland Golden State Warriors against Oklahoma City Thunders live in the stadium. My husband is a huge basketball fan and it was fun to watch the game live and to experience the amazing atmosphäre in the stadium.
  • The ferry ride with my husband to San Francisco
  • The goodbye party friends arranged for us.
  • My new earrings from Barefoot Dancer Designs
  • Barbecue with friends
  • Many cute little baby presents and cards
  • Being greeted by many lovely people in Zürich at the airport
  • Seeing my family, my nice, my nephews and my friends
  • Eating Swiss bread and cheese and finally eating some of the stuff I’m craving for since I’m pregnant :-)
  • Setting up the baby furniture!

Plus Size Outfit Day April

Hello together

Yeah, my first POD living in the same time zone with most of the other participants. The pictures were still made in California.

The theme of today’s Plus Size Outfit Day is: All about shoes and accessories

pod-logo

in the following pictures, you can see how my outfit looks without accessories and only wearing Flip Flops, and later with some accessories and nice shoes. I only add earrings, a belt and a bag, but I think you can see what a difference it makes. I like to round the outfit off with accessories, but not go overboard and look like a christmas tree.

I can’t decide between the 2 earrings, so I show you both. Shoes – since my ankle fracture,  I only wear comfortable shoes that still look nice. I like these Gabor shoes, as they are really comfortable and I’m still able to wear it now late in my pregnancy.

Have fun,
xxo Melanie Rubenesque

Goodbye San Francisco

Hello

When you read this blog post, I’m already on my way back to Switzerland. It isn’t easy for me to say goodbye to California and my amazing time here. Here are many things I will miss: Friends, the nature, the sea, the sun, the fresh oranges from our garden and a lot more.

It’s a bitter-sweet goodbye, I also look forward to my friends and family, our new appartement close to the beautiful Swiss capital Bern and to prepare the nursery for my little baby. A completely new phase of life lies ahead of us, and I look forward to it with excitement!

I say goodbye here to San Francisco with the pictures of our trip with the ferry!

Uf wieder luege i de Schwiiz! (See you in Switzerland in Swiss German)
