Maternity fashion: winter is coming.

The nerd in me had to make the Game of Thrones reference in the title for this blog post. 

The autumn winter clothes are arriving in shops now and i must say I nearly wish I were pregnant again the selection is amazing! So here are a few of my favorite online winter  buys! 

Jumper dresses are great for autumn-winter months. As the weather gets colder add 300 denier tights from asos for €10.37 (above) to keep cosey. This gorgeous jumper dress from asos is €46.67 (left) and is also great paired with boots. 

Pair a jumper and skinny jeans for a comfortable casual outfit. I love these jeans (above) and jumper (left)  both €37.33 each from asos.

This large coat is great for those colder winter days, with plenty of room for your growing bump. Just €53.32 from New Look is a steal for a great coat. My Maternity coat was New Look they are a great fit and very comfortable.

These bombers are definitely on trend and I love the floral print on this one. Just €37.33 from Bluebell Maternity.

So wrap up this winter and keep your bump cosey with these fab finds! xxxx 



Maternity fashion: Date night

We tried to get as many dates in as possible when I was pregnant as we knew once baby came our chances to get out would be less and less. Even if we were just going to the movies I still like to look my best and put some effort in.

Normally I never wear tight dresses as I hate showing my belly but I loved showing off my growing bump when I was pregnant! I love this dress from New look for just €29.99 dress it up with wedges or down with converse. 

This top is comfy and very stylish. Great with your skinny jeans and a pair of converse or ankle boots! It's from New Look and it costs €19.99

This dress from New Look is a steal at just €18.99. It's perfect for date night and transitions from pregnancy to nursing as the wrap over makes easy access for feeding. 

This blouse from asos is adorable. I love the floral print worn with a pair of cropped jeans and pumps. It's €50.70 so it's a bit pricer than the other pieces but being a blouse you will be able to wear it when nursing so you will get alot of wear out of it.

So now you know what to wear it's time to decide where to go on your date!! It doesn't matter where you go really just enjoy the quality time with your partner! 

Maternity Fashion: Basics

Maternity fashion has improved so much over the years! When I first got pregnant at 20 there where no clothes out there for a young post 'emo kid' mammy to be. It was all floaty, floral printed and awful. I managed to find one pair of maternity jeans and a pair of leggins and I paired them with my boyfriends t shirts and hoodies and that was about it. This time around tho my maternity wardrobe was bursting. There are so many options out there for moms to be. From the third month of my pregnancy I was loving my maternity wardrobe. It was the first time in my life I was confident to wear form fitting clothes and not feel conscious of my tummy area because for once it was ment to be sticking out! 

You may think you will only be wearing your maternity clothes for about 5 months of your pregnancy but I got my first pair of maternity jeans at 12 weeks and 8 weeks post partum I'm still wearing them! So you will need a good sized maternity wardrobe to keep you going all that time.

I found the best shops to buy from were New Look, Asos and H&M. They all have very good quality clothing that wont break the bank. Here are a few of my favorite basics. Items you will need for everyday wear.

Jeans are a basic for everyone. Dress it up with a floaty shirt or dress it down with a vest, they are something you can wear everyday. I prefer the over the bump pants but then I was always a fan of high waisted jeans.

I got these skinny jeans from New Look in black and grey they are super stretchy and comfortable. And they are only €22.99

I know people who have lived in there leggings throughout there entire pregnancy and its no surprise. They are so comfy and stretch with you as you grow. I loved these leggings from H&M for just €9.99.

Vest tops are a must especially if you plan to breast feed. I live in these nursing vests from H&M and come in a pack of 2 for just €19.99. 

These maternity crew neck t-shirts are a maternity wardrobe staple. Wear with joggers for just lounging around or pair with your jeans, a blazer and a statement necklace when meeting friends for coffee (decaffeinated of course). This 2 pack is just €19.72 from asos.com.
