Who Says Maternity Style Can’t Be…. Well, Stylish?!

This is Janae. You’ve seen her before on the blog as the adorable owner of Pink & Navy, the fashionable boutique on our beloved Anna Maria Island.  Well, Janae’s preggers with her (2nd!) child and big surprise, she’s been embracing her pregnancy by rocking the hottest, most on trend fashions.  We’re always so inspired by her super cute style – pregnant or not.  So much so, we’ve made her our de facto maternity style guru and asked her to recommend her favorite looks right now for those with beebs on the way – all available right now at her shop:

Hey you fashionistas!  I just turned the big 30 and am mom of one rambunctious, over-intelligent, hip three-year-old boy.  And at this moment I’m currently and happily rocking a 37-week VERY pregnant bump.  This ever-growing bump is home to my next son for at least 3 more long weeks!

Finding a stylish, yet super comfy outfit is never easy.  I am one who despises maternity clothing.  It’s never trendy, and is always way too long or big with that “Hey I’m a maternity shirt” ruching down the side.  The love of denim is long gone after you have reached about 30 weeks into your pregnancy (yes, yes, yes, we know… no more denim is a sad, sad day).   There is a very easy way to stay stylish and not be suffocated in your too tight, baby squishing jeans.  Let me introduce you to the brilliance of “oversized buying”, with a bump complimenting combo!  I own every one of these fabulous pieces, and they score beyond 10s in comfort:

ITEM #1 (below): I adore these Michael Lauren pants worn by Kendall Jenner (and am actually wearing them today):

ITEM #2 (below): I love this leg-showing Gypsy 05 dress with a little back showing to make you feel sexy:

ITEM #3 (below): This Lauren Moshi top is great to pair with the Michael Lauren pants.  This top is long, comfy and hugs the bump perfectly:

ITEM #4 (below): This Gypsy 05 seaweed tube maxi falls perfectly on the bump and dresses you up:

ITEM #5 (below): How cute is this L *Space bandeau bikini?:

ITEM #6 (below): If you can’t rock the two piece, rock an L *Space fringe one-piece:

ITEM #7 (below): Linea Pelle trendy studded clutch shoulder bag with cat eye glasses (below):

ITEM #8 (below): Linea Pelle stud stackable bracelets to keep you current:

Thank you Janae!  We heart you and your always spot-on sense of style!

ALL of these items are available right now at Pink & Navy.  Find them on Facebook or give Janae a call at (941) 567-4000.

RTR Guest Post: Dream Wedding Registry

Rent the Runway has graciously given us air time yet again this week!  Click HERE to check our latest guest post for them over on their blog.  This one’s dedicated to all you Brides-to-Be out there… and anyone who loves gorgeous, unique domestic goodies.  And speaking of RTR…  I rented one of their Hervé Leger dresses for a Bachelorette in the Hamptons last weekend, and it was p-e-r-f-e-c-t-i-o-n:

I’m tellin’ you what.  I have been SLAMMED at work and haven’t seen the inside of a gym in weeks, so I was NOT keen on renting something so form fitting during a workout drought. Plus, I always assumed the Hervé dresses were made for tiny girls who wear drinking straws as dresses.  But as soon as I put that thing on, I figured out what all the fuss was about:  Hervé dresses are magical.  They are flattering on EVERYONE.  The Let’s Get Loud Dress literally hid everything not-so-great and accentuated the good stuff.  It felt like shape wear, but was insanely comfortable.  We went to a nice restaurant (75 Main in Southampton, NY) that night and I drank 2 Modelos and ate a huge bowl of pasta.  Whoops…  dainty, right?  But this was the dress to do it in.

If you haven’t used RTR yet and have a special event coming up – or a hot date this Saturday, whatever – try it!  It’s MONEY.

xoxo!
