Maternity not-Monday

Posted in Uncategorized by

Remember my maternity monday series? I really miss talking about maternity wear as I love seeing how far it’s gone since I was pregnant and I do get a little envious when I see what’s out there these days. If I were pregnant again I’d get myself a Magic Maternity Tube. For a mere 28 euros this is possibly the most multifunctional maternity (and post-maternity) item on the market. It can be worn in a variety of ways and is made of a soft knitted fabric. Nothing sells itself better to me than versatility!

Maternity Monday: Expecting the expected

Posted in Uncategorized by

I’m looking forward to going to see “What to Expect When You’re Expecting starring J Lo and Cameron Diaz as well as some other wonderful actors. I’m pretty positive it won’t be the most monumental film ever but I am sure there will be a giggle, a “oh I’ve so been there” sigh and a “oh no he di’int” screech whilst watching. It certainly is a movie to go and see with your Mom or your Mommy besties. Not your employer, your husband (unless he’s Mr Perfect), and not your single girlfriends (it will put them off kids forever!)

The lovely people at Spoke Agency sent me a Pregnancy Survival Kit which evoked a lot of laughter in this household.

It included the following items:

Some of them were totally right on but for me it missed some of my personal essentials: Saltine crackers, prenatal yoga dvds and raspberry red leaf tea.

What were your pregnancy survival essentials? Will you go and see this film? Have you seen it yet, what did you think?

Maternity Monday: Flower power

Posted in Uncategorized by

I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again. This Spring is going to be floral, in the gardens and yes, on our bodies. Here’s some ways a Mom-to-be can go floral without looking (and feeling) like a tree.

A casual brunch with a friend…

watch, sunnies, top (actually a nursing sleepwear top! and currently 50% off!), sandals ($30!), nail polish, leggings ($20!)

a baby items shopping trip…

sandals, nail polish, sweater, maternity cargo pants

a last minute dinner date with your husband…

pumps, jeans, earrings, clutch

Maternity Mondays: pastels

Posted in Uncategorized by

Most probably when you think of baby blue and candy floss pink you’ll most probably be choosing your baby’s teeny tiny onsies and booties, but today, I’m actually talking about you. Pastels are “it” for this spring and here’s some ways you can incorporate pastels into your maternity wardrobe.

A lovely, lazy afternoon

 

sunglasses, pants, sandals, sweater, bracelets

dress, belt, wallet, nail polish, bracelet, wedges

Maternity Monday: Glean some green

Posted in Uncategorized by

Since my haphazard maternity posts (and I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, I”M NOT PREGNANT!!) have been so popular, I’ve decided to devote Mondays to ‘Maternity Mondays’ and will celebrate all things fashion related for Moms-to-be on what can be a very depressing day of the week.

Not anymore, Maternity Mondays will be a day of hope and excitement about new life (and some fun fashion along the way…)

In honour of the day of green beer (aka St Patrick’s day), it’s fun to think of ways we can add some green to our outfits. There is a lot of green in the stores at present and with Spring fast approaching, I love all the different shades of this fantastic colour that we can wear. You can either don a eye-catching, bright emerald green or a subtle and gentle mint. Here are some my green picks (for Mom’s and Moms-to-be) for St Paddy’s day,

skirt, clutch, nail polish, necklace, jeans, flats, maternity jeggings (similar)

Spring Break!

Posted in Uncategorized by

Ok, so we’re not at school anymore, nor do we have the capacity for late nights, nor do we have the taut body of an 18 year old, but we still can go on our own spring vacation with our wonderful husband. I did a post on babymooning here, here’s ideas for a similar break before baby.

Maxi, Sweater, Shorts, Tank, shoes

Doing the Tangerine Tango

Posted in Uncategorized by

The new black this spring is tangerine (aka orange). How are you on this? I’m not the biggest orange girl myself and I think unless you are olive skinned and absolutely stunning, it can be a really tough colour to pull off. Also as I was thinking of maternity outfits using tangerine, I thought that similarly most pregnant ladies wouldn’t be keen of sporting a tangerine item of clothing. Instead, I thought of some ways to incorporate tangerine accessories into three maternity outfits.

Running errands at the weekend

purse, necklace, jeggings

A casual dinner date with hubby

Earrings, Clutch, flipflops, necklace

Girl’s Night Out

Shoes, Nail Polish, Shirt, Maternity Leggings
