Home Decor and Nesting for new mums

1

I clearly remember when I was pregnant that the closer to the due date I was, the more frustrated I got because of our flat. I felt nothing was ready and I felt I need to finish things, change them, improve and welcome baby Liam to a stunning new clean home. Then I found out it is an actual thing called Nesting. Not all women have to go through that but there are loads that experience this urge to improve their homes.

Well, no wonder. Firstly your life will change massively and you will probably spend more time home than ever and secondly your priorities will change and there is a new addition to your family. That means more things from clothes to toys and also you will have more and more visitors. The entire life as you knew it will be different and even if you want it or not you have to adjust things in your home.

I am huge fan of decor and especially when it is chic and practical at the same time. If you are a new mum or mum to be you have to think about practicality as well as design and they can go hand in hand. And if you live in a smaller flat like me you have to think about furniture and decor even more. So I thought about what would I advice any new or mum to be to get for their homes. We all have different views but I would go for these 5 items.

Top 5 picks to make life of a mum comfortable, easy and keep the touch luxury

  1. Comfortable bed with storage and bonus points for stunning design – You will spend lot of time in bed at least first few weeks so make sure your choice is the best. You will also lack sleep for the few months so the right choice of bed is crucial to make those few hours of sleep very comfortable.
  2. Day bed for your spare room or nursery – That is one of the first things I got for my house and there are so many reasons for that. Firstly you and your partner may need to sleep in separate rooms (not all men want to end up tired at work every day). Secondly you may use it for yourself when you are starting to teach baby to sleep in their own room. Thirdly you can use it for guests that come to your place. And if you chose a day bed with storage you can use it for bedding, toys, clothes or anything really. And I know few of my friends then ended up using it for kids when they grew up as their bed for the bedroom. What a great investment.
  3. Foot Stool ideally with storage – Imagine that you have to nurse every two to three hours in average. Who would not like a bit of comfort whilst doing it and what better way to do it than with your feet up.
  4. Comfortable chair for nursing and bonus points if it looks great – I have been looking for a nice feature chair that I could use as a nursing chair for a long time. We all have different tastes but I tend to find the actual nursing chairs not that great. So why not to go for a lovely design and comfortable chair and it is another excuse how to bring a lovely piece to your family home.
  5. Dining table and ideally extendable – With a new arrival you will probably have to shift your life a bit. It can mean that you will host dinners instead of going out or you have visitors and family over for lunch. So a lovely dining table where you can fit few people is a key for me. And if it is extendable you do not need to worry if you have have few more guests.

Whatever your priorities are we all want to make sure we make family life happy, comfortable and easy. So make sure that your next home purchase is the right one for you.

Pamatuju si, ze kdyz jsem byla tehotna, ze cim vice se blizil termin porodu tak tim vice jsem stresovala ohledne naseho bytu. Manzel si vzdy chce delat vse sam a dopada to tak, ze ziju permanentne v prachu a obklopena naradim ( a to si nedelam srandu). A o to vic jsem snila o tom, ze privedu Liama domu do krasneho, utulneho cisteho bytu. Chtela jsem vse menit a upravovat. S uklidem mi pomohla maminka, ale doted si preju si poridit par novych kousku domu, ktere by se mi hodily vice nez drive. A ono je to vlastne i normalni ukaz u zen v ocekavani tzv. Nesting, ze maji potrebu upravovat svuj dum, uklizet, vylepsovat apod. 

Nektere veci jsem si jiz splnila a nektere jsou stale na mem wish listu. Clovek si az pozdeji uvedomi, ze zivot se mu trosku zmeni. Neni to nic strasneho, ale jsou to veci jako potreba vice ulozneho prostoru, chcete pohodli a zaroven i hezke veci, protoze doma travite s ditetem jako matka vice casu. Neni nad to si poridit hezke a prakticke veci a ktere kousky jsou teda podle mne dobre? Vetsina z toho vychazi hlavne z faktu, ze ziju v mensim byte, ktery ma dve loznice, obyvaci pokoj a kuchyn, takze o nakupuju nabytku musim premyslet dvounasob. 

  1. Dobra a hezka postel idealne s uloznym prostorem. Prvnich par dni jsem stravila v posteli. Za prve po porodu vas vse boli, zvykate si a take hodne kojite a tak je skvele mit hezkou a pohodlnou postel a kdyz ma ulozny prostor tak je to nejlepsi varianta. 
  2. Rozkladaci denni postel tzv. day bed idealne s uloznym prostorem. To byla jedna z veci, kterou jsem poridila do vedlejsiho pokoje jeste pred narozenim Liama. Za prve ji muzu pouzivat ja az si bude zvykat na svuj pokojik, nebo tam muzeme spat i ted (kdyz se potrebuje manzel vyspat) a v neposledni rade slouzi jako postel pro hosty. Vybrala jsem rozkladaci s uloznym prostorem a pocitam s tim, ze v budoucnu muze slouzit i jako postel pro deti. 
  3. Stolicka/Lenoska pod nohy – V prumeru vas ceka kojeni kazde dve az tri hodiny a proc si u toho neudelat pohodli. Ja uz svou mam a ta ma ulozny prostor, ale pokud doma zadnou nemate, urcite je to dobra investice. 
  4. Hezke a pohodlne kreslo na kojeni – Tohle jsem hledala pekne dlouho a konecne nasla. Opravdova kojici kresla se mi designove nelibi a tak jsem chtela takove, ktere bude pohodlne a hezke a bude hezky zapadat do naseho interieru. 
  5. Velky jidelni stul idealne rozkladaci – S prichodem miminka se mozna zmeni i vas spolecensky zivot a je skvele napriklad poradat vecere u vas. Muzete pozvat pratele uz kdyz je miminko male. A take musite pocitat s tim, ze vas ceka hodne navstev, alespon z pocatku. 

At uz mate priority stejne ci odlisne, je treba o investicich do vaseho domova hodne premyslet, aby vam nove veci proste vyhovovaly.

Shopping in London made easy with Vallie

2 Pictures Anna Sandul
Wearing: Bag: Gucci, Shoes: Gucci, Sunglasses: Rayban, Jeans: Zara, Jumper: H&M

This is what I would call a perfect shopping outfit for this season. Flats are always a key item, cosy knits look great and keep you warm and all that is left is a small bag for your credit card, lipstick, car keys and your phone. Sorted!

Black Friday and holiday shopping in general are here. I definitely fall into that category that sees shopping as a way to get out with my baby (I know not the best stimulation for Liam) and have a fun. And I believe there must be loads of women like myself. However, London can be absolute nightmare if you are driving and looking for a parking space. Imagine you want to grab the latest bargain in Liberty or Selfridges but instead of getting hands on the latest IT bag with a huge discounts you are driving around looking for a parking spot (and perhaps even with a crying little one on the back seat). Sounds familiar?

Well that no longer needs to be the case thanks to Vallie.

Ladies, your nightmare is over with this app. It is London’s first valet parking app and it is very simple to use. Firstly just chose drop off location and chose time through the app. Your car will be collected and parked for you and when you are done with your shopping the car is back with you within 15 minutes. You can still track your car whereabouts. The price of using the app is £ 5 an hour or £ 25 a day but it is worth every penny as time is money right?

So if you are planning to shop tomorrow this is a must have . And plus they are giving a free hour parking in London. A friend of mine just started to work for Vallie and I thought I need to support her and this great idea.

So happy shopping or let’s say happy parking. Use code evglamazon10 to get 10 £ OFF your parking tomorrow!

Tohle bych nazvala perfektni outfit na nakupy. Ja si radeji vybiram nizke a pohodlne boty a v tomto pocasi teple svetry a mensi kabelku, protoze vim, ze sebou za malou chvili potahnu alespon deset tasek. A jelikoz zacina sezona nakupu na Vanoce a zitra je Black Friday tak se vetsina lidi asi vyda do centra. 

Pro ty co neziji v Londyne tohle neni asi tak relevantni, ale kamaradka zacala pracovat pro uzasnou start-up firmu, ktera prisla na trh se skvelou aplikaci Vallie. Neni to sice zadna nakupovaci aplikace, ale tak trochu s tim souvisi. Nevim, kolik z vas zazilo nocni muru parkovani v centru Londyna, ale neni to nic prijemneho. Vallie nabizi uzasny servis, zkratka si pres aplikaci rezervujete parkovani, pribehne clovek zaparkuje za vas a pak vam auto zase priveze v tu dobu, kdy si prejete. 

Myslim, ze ted pred Vanoci a nakupni horeckou je to pro Londynany zkratka idealni a rozhodla jsem se ji podporit a dat svetu vedet, ze uz se nemusi trapit hledanim parkovaciho mista v centru Londyna. 

Takze pokud se nahodou zitra vydate autem do Liberty, Selfridges a jinde tak si pamatujte, ze Vallie bude asi vyborny spolecnik.

Cosy Autumnal Evenings

1
I am a huge lover of cosy days and evenings at home especially when the weather gets colder. There is something magical about warm evenings with candle on and good movie or book. So why not to bring a bit of home inspiration post and everything you may like to create that sort of atmosphere at home. And I decided I need this Ugg blanket in my life! That is just major right?

Miluju utulne vecery a dny, kdy si doma v teple vytvorim prijemnou atmosferu, pustim si dobry film, ctu si casopis nebo dobrou knizku. Jak zacne sychrave pocasi pustim se do nakupu svicek, ktere si kazdy vecer zapalim a zabalim se do teple deky. A proc se tedy neispirovat trochou domaci dekoru. Jeste bych potrebovala, aby mi tahle uzasna deka od Ugg pristala v pristi poste. LOL

Strolling around with Cybex Jeremy Scott

12

Who knows me well is not going to be surprised by the choice of my pram. I love designer things and I love fashion and that is one of the reasons why I knew this pram is going to be a great match for me.

German brand Cybex is known for collaborations with Jeremy Scott and when it came to choosing the pram I knew this was the one. Yes, it may be a bit extravagant however I cannot even count how many times I am stopped by strangers in the street giving me compliments on this super stylish pram. The other day all the staff from a local pharmacy came out to check it our properly. Well, I guess that deserves to say well done Cybex. There is also no surprise so many celebrities including Gwen Stefani, Josh Harnett or Karolina Kurkova chose this brand as well and also this particular model has appeared in the latest video M.I.L.F by Fergie.

However as with many things it is not just all about beauty and the design right? This pram is three in one travel system and it has got a cary cot, car seat and lux seat. So pretty much everything you need for your baby. It will also works later on when you kid is older. Liam absolutely loves his car seat and literally falls asleep in it before I even put him in the car. When he was only two weeks old I went with him to an afternoon tea with Bulgari and he slept in it almost the whole time whilst there.

One of the best things about this model is that is very light and has got some fun extras that some people will love….like the skis you can put on. Well, definitely handy if you live somewhere with lot of snow. I  need to get a cup holder as after those 5 weeks I feel that I missed that the most. It is hard to push the pram with one hand whilst enjoying my soya latte at the same time #mumproblems.

Well, overall this has been a great choice for me and I love strolling with it around London and my neighbourhood. This pram is practically a perfect accessory for any fashion mummy.

Kdo me zna velmi dobre, tak se asi nebude divit vyberu meho kocarku. Miluju designerske kousky a modu obecne a kdyz jsem videla kocarek od firmy Cybex, ktery navrhl Jeremy Scott, vedela jsem, ze musi byt muj.

Mozna je pro nekoho moc extravagatni, ale do Londyna se hodi na sto procent. A nedokazu uz ani spocitat kolikrat me nekdo zastavil a skladal komplimenty. Nedavno dokonce vysli vsichni zamestnanci z lekarny, aby si ho poradne prohledli. Ani se vlastne nedivim, ze Cybex je znacka celebrit. Cybex si oblibila napriklad Gwen Stefani, Josh Harnett ci Karolina Kurkova. A tento model se dokonce objevil v nove klipu zpevacky Fergie M.I.L.F.

No ale krasa neni vsechno ze? Vetsina lidi ocekava od kocarku prakticnost a aby vyhovoval jejich zivotnimu stylu. Tento model je vlastne tri v jednom a to vcetne autosedacky, ktera je taky uzasna. Muzu rict, ze Liam je v ni absolutne spokojeny a usina uz nez ho dam do auta. Kdyz mel dva tydny byla jsem pozvana i s nim na akci se znackou Bulgari a prospal v sedacce skoro celou dobu az do te doby nez mel hlad (haha).

Jedna z nejlepsich veci je, ze kocarek je opravdu lehky a to je pro me ve meste jako Londyn velmi dulezite. Tahat ho do schodu je hned jednodussi. A navic tento model a myslim, ze i ostatni maji extra veci navic jako treba male lyze ci drzak na kavu. Ten mi asi chybel zatim nejvice. Tlacit kocarek jednou rukou a zaroven si uzivat sojove latte bylo narocne #mumproblems LOL. Takze je vam jasne co si asi brzo poridim. 

Tak i tak jsem se svym vyberem spokojena a miluju nase spolecne prochazky. Uz mame za sebou i prvni jizdu metrem a taky uspesne. 

Love Glamazon xoxo
