Target Baby's First and Giveaway

First of all let me start by saying. No I am not pregnant, and no I am not Posh Becks and do not intend to keep going back for a girl. 2 boys, outnumbered in the house, that's fine with me. I have said this many times and I will say it again. If I had a girl I will be bankrupt. There is always too many cute things for girls out there. So my money is safe where it is now - in a Chanel bag slush fund for Mama Ling. 

I was lucky enough to be invited to Target's Baby's First event. It was fun central being surrounded by onesies (I call them onesies you call them rompers.. sames sames), little blankets that Target has managed to make look handmade yet at the same time consistent in quality.

Grey is the new Green

The above picture was the display that I really liked. Grey is like SO HAWT right now. It is the new yellow and green that we used to buy when you did not know the gender of what you are expecting. I of course had to find out the gender. I would have died if I didn't. So I knew I was having boys both times. Of course I believed deep down that they were wrong and Pickles would be a girl.... no luck there.

Girls bedroom anyone?

Check out the blanket on the left. This is the blanket that I was talking about prior. It was made to look hand quilted like a heirloom piece. Which is difficult because Target requires consistency in each and every piece sold across the nation. When this blanket is unfolded, the other side had a cute pattern as a floor rug for baby to play on ... I used to lie D on the floor a lot while I did my household chores. That little boy was always content to be by himself. Pickles my little demanding one not so much. LOL! See those little wraps on the right under the squishy square toy? Yeah here is a closeup.

Paris anyone?

How cute is the Paris theme on that top one? No, not Paris Hilton! Paris France. As I said, I am lucky that I do not have a little girl .... $$$$$$$$ And trust me when I say that the cottony stretch ones are easier to bundle up and wrap tightly. Wrap the little sausages rolls up expecting mothers. Listen to Mama Ling.

Boys Room theme Mobile

Hungry Caterpillar theme! 

I tweeted that above picture and the response was great. I think this is another great range in the Target collection for gender neutral items. We need MORE of these please. They were people replying on my Instagram photo that they were running out to get them. I have seen them in real life instore as well and they look mighty fine. Run don't wok. 

I will take one in Adult Size 8 kthxbai

Girls fashion is very much Mini-Me. The more successful stores that stock childrens and baby outfits are doing this and doing it very well. Check out that jacket. Can I please have that in size 8? It's not asking that much! It is just a little bit bigger.

Leopard tights people!! 

Those above 2 pictures are a set. Yeap you can have leopard prints and a tutu skirt too. You see what I mean by I would be bankrupt? I don't normally 'dig' leopard prints. But HOW CUTE THIS THAT! The event only exhibited clothes up to 24months. Get into Target and get the basic range. Cute tshirts and leggings for daycare is exactly what you need!

The things you do to your youngest Child

Target kindly gave me a goodie bag when I left. As you can tell, we put it to good use by dressing up Pickles with it. How cute is that bib? Pickles is wearing a size 000 singlet as headgear. It is totally the done thing these days people. Get that fashion going.

Target has also provided me with a $40 giftcard to give away to one of you lucky readers. YAYYYY $40 goes a long way in Target people. Listen to me you want this! 

To WIN: Email me at porkchopsnest@gmail.com and tell me what you would purchase for a gift to a friend or family who is expecting a new baby but you do not know what gender the baby is. Competition closes on the 8th of March midnight Melbourne time. 

Conditions: Open to Australian residents only, decisions are final and judged by myself. The winner has a week to respond to my email for their mailing address for the prize. 

Balmy Singapore plus Key Club Launch Event

Oh hai everyone I am in balmy Singapore. It is exhausting!!! Boys are out of routine and getting up at 4.30 in the morning. :O Well let's unleash the claw out in Singapore a bit later. I hope to get CLAW blog post. Seems like Claw has her own fan base.

Before I left Melbourne, the lovely Sarah from Silverleaf PR sent me an invite to the Key Club Launch. My first thought was - oh wait is she sure that she sent the invite to the right person? So my friend and I trooped up the road from our office in our dresses and heels. I wore my pink Manolo Blahniks and Armani Exchange dress. No duck lips or trout pout lips sorry, there was a mandatory mirror pic that I conned my friend into getting in. She is horrified!

It was a fantastic night people watching and I am now determined to buy a bodycon dress. This Mama still gots it ya know. :) Damien Bodie (ex-Neighbours and Winners and Losers) insisted that we take a picture together. It was like we were best buddies. We had a chat with Mat Beyer (Masterchef) who is @cookingwithgoths on Twitter and his friend Joel from . The funny thing is, we started following each other before he went on the show. When I was watching MC, I thought hey this guy reminds me of @cookingwithgoths on Twitter. DUH!


Here is Damien and Lee (MKR) just chilling as you can imagine in the big gold seats. I am upset that I did not give these seats a whirl. We had parked ourselves in the corner seats next to the DJ booth at the front room and told the waiter with the food to keep 'em coming.


Ok seriously... does everyone wanna pat the velour cowboy suit or is it just me? I am assuming it was velour! Champagne all around that night and the food is amazing! You need to try the duck! I left right when the music had stopped and stumbled out. Attended and presented at an Executive meeting that was an all day event the next day. I felt like one of the boys!
