Yummy Mummy Summer Style 2011

Summer is fast approaching, the weather is getting warmer nights are getting longer and its time to put those cold winter days behind us. Even though I delighted to see the back of winter, I am filled with a little bit of dread. As I pack away my winter clothes and bring out my summer clothes I start to break in to a sweat. Last time I wore these clothes it was pre baby. Lets face it last summer was a right off, I spent my days under a tree wearing a tent to cover up my beached whale appearance.
This year I am proud to say I have lost all of the 4 stone I gained with Dylan, my body is not really the same as it was before, So those little tummy bearing tops and short shorts are just not going to cut it this year.
 However fear not my fellow Mummies, we are after all Yummy Mummies and we must not hide in the shade in a dress resembling a tent. Its time to do a little shake up of our wardrobes. The first thing I did before even contemplating going shopping to get a few summer bits was to put some fake tan on. Rock Star Tan is an amazing organic tan that has no nasty preservatives in it. It also smells really good. It can cover a multitude of sins and disguises some of those lumps and bumps.

 Luckily there are some great high street shops that have some great summer essentials  that are cheap and cheerful. Pennies (Primark in the UK) Zara are all some of my favorites. Victoria Secrets is one of my favorite shops, they have dresses with padding, to help pull those puppies up to their former glory. They have little wrap dresses and t shirt dresses that not only look great but are reasonably priced too. They have a website that you can browse from the comfort of your own home and will be delivered within 21 days.

You don't need to spend a fortune looking good you just need a few basics that can be worked in with your own wardrobe.  A maxi dress  (like the one above)is a great way to keep cool and look good on those long summer days running after your little ones. This dress is $59 dollars from Victoria Secrets.

A little structured striped summer dress from VS is great for holding in those Mummy Tummies and can look great when going from day to night.

A wrap dress  from Zara is a great option for sitting pool side.

A tshirt dress from VS is a comfy stylish way to play in the park with your little ones.

When it comes to bikinis, ok who am I kidding I am still not ready for that this year. My little belly is still there, so instead of going for a bikini I am going to go for a sexy swimsuit instead

Michael Kors have a beautiful sexy swimsuit that would not look out of place on a yacht in the riviera. We just need to get invited on to that yacht now.

VS has sexy cut out swimsuit that shows off your best bits and hides that little bit of Mummy Tummy that sits just under your belly button. 

If you are lucky and you have a great tummy, Like Yummy Mummy Angi then you can go all out in a VS Bikini with Padding. 

Wedge heels can make your legs look endless and can take inches off your thighs. Unlike heels which lets face it are just not practical for running around after a child.

Gladiator Sandals are another great stylish option for looking great and feeling comfortable this summer

And finally a  big summer hat can hide a bad hair day and the big sunnies can hide that sleepless night you just had rocking your teething baby to sleep last night. This is the top of my list this year. 

Hope you all have a stylish happy fun summer with your little ones.. 

Lots of Love
