Motherhood Maternity/A Pea In A Pod Spring Preview

October 21, 2010 By afterthealter Leave a Comment

Last week I had the pleasure of attending a Motherhood Maternity/Pea In A Pod 2011 Spring Preview event. Since I am currently on the look out for great maternity clothes that make my belly look less big, I was really excited to see what these brands had to offer. I have never been shy in saying that I am not always happy with the maternity clothes out there, but I can honestly admit that the new line for both of these lines are AMAZING! I think that they offer great clothes at all different price points. Even the Motherhood line, which I normally am not always pleased with, had tons of great new things to show. I honestly could’ve bought every piece that they showed me. Luckily for my husband there were only samples and I couldn’t.

Spring 2011 Motherhood Maternity Collection

The theme of the Spring Motherhood line is mixing girly with menswear, destructed with refined, and vintage with modern. Here are some of my favorites!

I was amazed when I saw that they were showing sequins for pregnant women, but when I thought more about it I thought…why not?? Pregnant women deserve to wear seasonal trends right? That’s why I loved this outfit.

A Camo print sequin tunic tank ($29.98) with an army green skinny cargo pant (39.98).

A red cascade cardigan sweater ($34.98) over blue multi-print charmeuse tunic top (29.98), with medium wash skinny jeans ($29.98). This outfit is perfect for spring and all the pieces could even be worn into the summer!

This dress just screams baby shower to me! It’s a blue watercolor one shoulder dress ($34.98)

I found all of the material on all of these outfits to be of great quality, and I loved the prices even more. If other women are like me, they don’t want to be spending a fortune on maternity clothes.

Spring 2011 A Pea in the Pod Collection

The collection this Spring is all about romantic, ethereal designs. Embracing the boudoir, the collection offers washed silk tops and dreamy knits in cosmetic pink, dusty lilac and heather oatmeal and grey. Here are a few of my favorites!

I am very pro “embracing the bump” and this snake skin print drape neck dress ($89) does just that.

This outfit is just me! Oatmeal linen tank with chiffon ruffles ($69). Oatmeal linen cascade cardigan ($79). Rolled cuff camo short ($59). Last summer I was looking for shorter shorts, when all I could find were longer ones. I have little legs so I thought if I was going to have a round belly at least I could show off my legs. These would’ve been the perfect shorts for me!

The Motherhood Maternity items will be available at www.motherhood.com, the A Pea in the Pod items will be available at www.apeainthepod.com, and everything will be available at www.destinationmaternity.com. I was told they will be available come January, so get ready!

Love My Belly Maternity Brands, plus 30% off & Free Shipping Coupon Code

October 7, 2010 By afterthealter 2 Comments

When it comes to maternity clothes I am not always impressed. Sometimes I feel that I have to sacrifice comfort in order to not pay a fortune. That’s why I was pleasantly surprised when I tried Love My Belly Maternity Brands. The clothes were soft and comfortable, and I have a feeling that I will be lounging in the outfit they sent me for the next 2 months, not to mention afterward.

One thing I found extremely interesting about the Layered Long Sleeve Tee that I tried is that it is one of a kind. The tag states:

This piece has undergone a vintage printing process that makes it one of it’s kind. Every piece has a distinctive look because it is individually printed and the markings that may occur in the process is what makes each piece very unique. No two shirts will be identical.

I find that to be extremely interesting and fun! So many clothes these days are mass produced, it’s nice to get the individual feel. The shirt was nice and long (no pregnant woman wants a belly shirt), and also was soft and stretchy. Stretchy is key, because you want the clothes to grow with you. I know I certainly will be needing stretchy clothes in the coming months. They say one inch a week right?

The support pant looked huge when I first took them out, but once I put them on I found they fit great! They were so soft and cozy. Definitely a great lounge pant. Together, the shirt and pants make one great outfit, but I also think each piece can work on it’s own. That’s great because when it comes to maternity clothes you need versatility.

Love My Belly is also offering you, our readers some great deals! You can choose either 30% off their new styles, or free shipping with a purchase of $49 or or more. How great is that?

You can use mws30new as the code for 30% off and freeship49 for the free shipping. Only one code per order can be used.

Love My Belly provided me with products in order for me to do this review. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Ingrid and Isabel – Not Just for Pregnant Moms

October 15, 2009 By Momfluential 7 Comments

I never thought I would say this but… I miss my maternity clothes. Not the tentlike garments that made me feel huge. The soft stretchy comfy magical garments that lifted, supported and pampered me. The ones that fit no matter what sort of day I was having and made me look and feel fabulous.

It’s easy to get spoilt by the fashionable, technologically advanced and fashionable clothing that is available for expectant moms today.

But guess what, you don’t have to get knocked up again to have an excuse to wear clothing that is both comforting and flattering. You have Ingrid and Isabel to thank for that. I recently met the owner of the company. She was looking very chic (and very unpregnant) in one of her own creations, a side ruched tank from the essentials collection. Her sales reps looked equally excellent in their outfits. None of them were pregnant. All of them were comfortable and fashionable. Lightbulb! I had to try some of these clothes myself!

Slipping into these garments is like greeting an old friend. Excuse me while I slip into something more comfortable. Only this time I’m free from indigestion, nausea, itching and having to pee every five minutes. What a treat! Everything looks great and is perfect for my daily runaround to school, gym and casual business meetings.

If you too find yourself nostalgic about your pregnancy comfy clothes, just know that Ingrid & Isabel are still there for you. Even if you’re not expecting. Go ahead. Treat yourself to some clothes that love you back. Your skinny jeans might get a little jealous, but do they feel this good when you’re rolling around on the floor with a four month old? Yeah. I think not!
