With a few of my friends on their way to motherhood at the moment it seems like on the high street the imminence of new life means the death of style for mums to be. Some stores would have them live the majority of their pregnancy in large tent like tunics and stretchy trousers. This started me thinking, a lot of celebrities out there have lived through their pregnancies in the limelight and with utmost grace and style, with the new Beckham bump sure to bring us more example of how high fashion meets baby bump. But how can you achieve being stylishly pregnant on a mere mortal’s budget? Well fear not reader and share with your friends suffering through tent-dom the wonders that are these gems of websites that I have discovered.
From the affordable to the more purse-straining the internet is a treasure chest of great maternity wear websites, the best of which actually stock some of the celebrity worn items. Indeed, www.isabellaoliver.com specialises in stocking items worn by your favourite pregnant celebrities such as Gwen Stefani or Ali Larter, the most surprising thing about it is that a lot of their clothing, although probably towards the top end of most people’s budgets is pretty affordable. It would certainly be a treat, but not an unreasonable one!
Another site to try for those bumps out there looking to emulate their favourite celebrities is Seraphine, I have to say this is the one which get the most style kudos from me. Not only can you track down celebrity styles on here but it also has a huge variety of styles and clothing and doesn’t shy away from the more trendy items, allowing mums to be who shop here to be cool and stylish throughout their pregnancy. Many of the other websites stick to classic stylish cuts and colours which are great but don’t necessarily give you that edgy style buzz you’ll get from some of the cooler items on this website. Again the process here are at the higher end of a high street budget but I don’t think you will find this much choice and style anywhere else.
Finally a couple more worth trying which are a bit more budget friendly include JoJoMamanBebe, for the best selection of summer wear and great outfit suggestions; as well as www.Funkybumpmaternity.com for the most affordable range of stylish pregnancy wear.
