What We Wore..Our Little Secret


Sophie - Dress: Red Velvet  Jacket: Portmans
Shoes: Poetic Licence Tights: Cotton On
Belt: Sportsgirl  Brooch: Vintage 

Ben - Shirt: Cotton On  Jeans: Jeans West
Shoes: Dunlop Tie: Thrifted 

Hello, I’m Ben, husband and partner in adventure to Sophie.

I know it's a little strange for a husband to be guest posting on his wife’s blog, especially when you haven’t heard too much about me. I'm the one that's usually behind the camera during these outfit posts.  But today I've got a secret to share. The past nine years by Sophie’s side have entailed by far the most amazing experiences I have ever had. Our adventures first began on the night of a Rugby World Cup final. Australia lost that year, but I didn't. Over the years they have included a trip to Europe, a move to the Sunset Country and many interesting experiences in between, especially a million and one weird and wonderful thrifting outings.

Now Sophie and I are so very excited to announce our new adventure, a tiny new addition to our library adventures due in Mid-December. We now embark upon our most wonderful and exciting time yet.

Much love to my beautiful wife and mother to be.
Ben

There's nothing like pregnancy and nothing like taking that baba home for the first time. my little boy is 9months now and the last 18months of my life have been the most mindboogling but must love filled and exciting in my life. Best wishes and hoping the same joy for the two of you. Its just wonderful being a mammy and daddy xx Good health xx
