What to Expect on the High Street Next Spring
Attending catwalk shows and reporting back is always exciting, but when you see the High Street interpretations it gives you an idea of how the trends will really manifest. Yesterday, Arcadia held their Spring press day which presented the items due to hit store from January 2010. Although I can't show you any images just yet (patience is a virtue!) I wanted to tell you a bit about what to expect.
Nicole Richie's Maternity Now Available at A Pea in the Pod!
Go bohemian chic with babe — Nicole Richie's maternity designs just hit the racks at A Pea in the Pod! The exclusive line, "Nicole," allows expectant mamas to mimic the celeb's signature style. Pregnant women will find 14 pieces designed by Richie, including a flowy peasant top, maxi dresses, and tees with asymetric hems and braiding (ranging from $50 to $150) that showcase a mama-to-be's cuves.
Look of the Day: Summer Blues
Xoqiqixo is experiencing the Summer blues in a stylish manner. She scored an oceanic maxi dress for only $10 — amazing. I'm also digging how her ivory crocheted shrug gives off a Mexicana feel.
Nicole Richie Brings Hippie-Chic Styles to Pea in the Pod
Next month expectant women who are fans of hippie-chic styles can move beyond vintage clothing stores to a new shopping resource. Known for her Bohemian baby-bump style, Nicole Richie is working with A Pea in the Pod on a collection of maxi dresses, tops, and bottoms that reflect her fashion sensibilities.
The mother to Harlow and a second babe due this Summer is also the face of the line, having played model at a recent ad photo shoot.
Something Blue For the Expectant Wedding Guest
What is cooler than sporting a shade of blue for Summer weddings? While it's easy to blend in by slipping on a black dress, expectant mamas should strut style and their burgeoning bellies in beautiful hues. Take a cue from the wedding theme, "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" and select a stunning azure gown that will have fellow guests doing double takes. With dresses available in all shades from blueberry to midnight and flattering maxi, empire, wrap and tank styles – the only hardship you'll have is finding equally stunning, comfortable shoes!
Baby Bump: More of Me Maternity
While most women are pulling lighter clothes out of their closets in anticipation of warmer weather, mamas-to-be due in Summer and Fall are searching for the ultimate items to take them through the rest of their pregnancies. More of Me Maternity's dresses and tunics are designed to do just that. Their "Take It to The Maxi" dress ($249) mimics the maxi dress trend seen on non-pregnant pals, but is made from 100% Modal knit, ensuring it remains soft and comfortable through multiple washings.
Matthew Williamson For H&M Burns Through Foggy San Fran
Breathe in, breathe out. This was me last night when trying to fall asleep. You know when you're so excited for something insomnia ensues and obsession overpowers?
Baby Bump: Spring Maternity Dresses
One of the benefits of being pregnant through Spring and Summer is the plethora of comfortable, loose dresses to cover my expanding belly. No need to decide between over-the-belly or under-the-belly pant panels, dresses speed up the morning dressing routine by eliminating the need to assemble outfits.
Taking their cue from the runway trends, this season's maternity dresses embrace everything from the maxi style seen here in the Gap's smocked empire dress, to colorblock trends to perennial maternity favorites such as wraps and florals.
On Our Radar: Richard Nicoll for Topshop
Richard Nicoll presented his Autumn line yesterday at London Fashion Week and his designs are always lusted after by the A list. Unfortunately, most of us don't necessarily have the budget for his main line which is why collaborations like this are so important. His Spring collection for Topshop has the essence of his main line, with colour blocking, feminine pieces and sharp tailoring but at a fraction of the price.
Trend Alert: Dip Dyed Maxis
The maxi has proven to be a favorite Summer dress, especially amongst the starlets. But there are so many fabulous styles to choose from. Dip dyed maxis are both comfortable and unique.
