Gorgeously Practical Maternity Coat from Vertbaudet

When I first found I was pregnant with baby #2 and my regular clothes started to nip in places they hadn’t before, my first stop was to search out my “pregnant” clothes from last time round. I despaired! Have styles and fashions (and my tastes!) REALLY changed that much in just 3 short years?! Er, yes. They have. So, it was back to the drawing board for my 9 month stretch in maternity wear. This is where the lovely Laura steps in and...

Stunning Isabella Oliver Luxe Tie Maternity Sweater

Contrary to popular opinion, I am not currently pregnant (yes, sadly, that baby belly is all me, me, me). But fortunately the lovely Nicole (rather unwillingly, as you can imagine) stepped up for us, and offered us the use of her delicious 34 week bump to drape the Isabella Oliver review over… When I was asked to review the Isabella Oliver Luxe Tie Sweater  I immediately went on their website and emailed a picture of it to my...

Maternity Winter Coat? Look no further…

Finding a reasonably priced winter maternity coat can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Believe me, I know; I’m on my third pregnancy, and haven’t had much luck in finding one which meets my essential criteria of style, value for money AND warmth. In fact, I couldn’t find one suitable for any of my previous pregnancies. One of the considerations is cost – you don’t want to spend a fortune because let’s face it,...

Spotted! The Birthing Dress

LOVE this idea. When I gave birth, I found a button-through brushed cotton plain nightie for my hospital bag.  Functional – but dull and oh-so-unattractive. I used it all four times, and whilst it gained a fond place in my affections (we went through so much together) I never did actually LIKE the bloody thing. But oh how I would have LOVED to have this in my bag to put on. Super pretty, promisingly comfortable AND really...

Spotted! Pretty maternity wear (that’s not).

Okay, so this isn’t actually maternity wear… but these Kimonos from Caro London would be simply fabulous for drifting around the house on a summers afternoon, when you have that hot, twitchy pregnant feeling and absolutely NOTHING is comfortable to wear. And I can’t think of anything nicer to roll up into your hospital bag, or to slip into in those early days when a small thing like wearing something pretty can feel...

Casha Poncho – Maternity Clothing Product Review

I had well and truly outgrown my coat by about six and a half months and so the arrival of this poncho was well timed. Hark! What’s this? Why, it’s something that fits over my enormous bump! Quality-wise it is lovely, really soft, a beautiful shade of grey, and well constructed. It is really very sophisticated and smart. Completely fine for turning up to work meetings. I have it hung up on my coat rack and sling it on as my final...
