Best Maternity Pants

 

Fit Pregnancy rated the Paige Maternity Union Laurel Canyon Jean as the best fit for all body types in their Jean Therapy blog post. We couldn’t agree more. The leg is perfectly flared and the pocket panels are comfortable yet look like your non-maternity jeans. This isn’t our first time being recognized for our denim collection. Parents.com featured us twice in their blog post: Best Maternity Jeans. Check out our stellar denim collection here.

Mother’s Day Style

Maternity Mother's Day Gifts

Look 1: J Brand Mama J Blanc Jean, Debbi O Lara Top | Look 2: Olian Cary Dress

Look 3: Rachel Pally Print Long Sleeveless Dress

Mother’s Day is a celebration honoring mothers, motherhood and maternal bonds so even if your bun is still in the oven you deserve pampering and pretty things. So why not treat yourself to a special Mother’s Day outfit. For a sophisticated and less formal look we love the J Brand Mama J Blanc Jean paired with the Debbi O Lara Top and a pair of wedges. For someone with swanky plans the Olian Cary Dress is as elegant as it is effortless. And as always a Rachel Pally dress, especially the Print Long Sleeveless Dress, is peachy and perfect for any occasion. Feel the love this mother’s day.

Rachel Pally dresses are a huge hit among celebrity moms and moms-to-be, and it’s easy to see why! They’re impossibly chic, super comfortable, and easy to wear both during and after pregnancy (pssst…they’re non-maternity!). We are loving this blue and white strapless Loveboat Dress and this gorgeous floral Print Long Sleeveless Dress for spring and summer.

Congrats to Beverley Mitchell on her pregnancy! She looks glowing in this picture from her baby shower. We love how she paired a bright dress with a contrasting bright necklace. It has inspired us to pair our Debbi O Lace Dress with a chunky turquoise necklace for the perfect shower look. Keep the shoes and nails neutral and you will have a polished look from head to toe.

Bust The Maternity Blues With A Trip To The Gym

Kim Kardashian Pregnant

 

Mom to be in the spotlight, Kim Kardashian, is photographed nearly daily in her workout gear. Keeping up with Kim might be quite a challenge, but studies show even small amounts of low impact exercise can be extremely beneficial during pregnancy.  The American Pregancy Association recommends keeping your heart rate under 140 beats per minute and avoid overheating, especially in your first trimester. Don’t be afraid to hit the ground running!
