Marsala – The colour of 2015 in fashion, beauty & interior design

It’s official – Marsala is the colour of the moment! Taking over from last year’s Radiant Orchid, Marsala has been named Pantone’s colour of 2015. Described as a naturally robust and earthy wine red, Marsala is said to enrich our minds, bodies and souls… While we can’t really comment on its enriching powers, we can say for certain that it is THE shade to see and be seen in this year!

Set to define design trends for the year to come, the experts at Pantone describe Marsala as “a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth.” And it looks like this sultry hue will be seducing in all areas of design this year, from handbags and shoes, to lipsticks, scatter cushions and even wearable technology!

Style your Marsala

When it comes to dressing your bump this year, we have some marvellous marsala maternity dresses to choose from. The red brown roots of the shade complement many skin tones, and makes this shade the perfect way to keep your style fresh and on trend. According to the experts, the impactful, full-bodied qualities of Marsala make for an elegant, grounded statement colour when used on its own – our Maternity Shift Dress is the perfect example – or as a strong accent to many other colours, making it the perfect shade to accessorise with!

Marsala combines dramatically with neutrals including warmer taupes and greys – opt for our Empire Line Pleated Maternity Dress in Marsala and grey to work the look. It also pairs well with amber, umber and golden yellows, as well as greens in both turquoise and teal, and blues in the more vibrant range – as in our Navy & Claret Maternity Wrap Dress.

Marsala at Home

The perfect accent shade in any room of the house; Marsala is a universal tone that works equally well in the kitchen and dining room as it does in the living room or the bedroom. Bringing a rich warmth to the rooms downstairs, and a moody sexiness to the boudoir, Marsala is the key colour for interior design this year. Whether you take the plunge and opt for a full accent wall in Marsala, or incorporate the shade into your colour scheme with soft furnishings and accessories, it’s the perfect colour to coordinate with any neutral scheme.

Marsala Beauty

Evoking the moody makeup tones of the 90’s, Marsala works beautifully as a bold statement lip, an accent blush or a sexy smokey eye, and if you’re brave enough, even makes a fantastic hair colour! If you’re looking to experiment with this sultry makeup trend, check out Sephora & Pantone’s collaboration Marsala makeup range.

New Mama & Victoria’s Secret Angel Doutzen’s Slimming Secret

This week super model Doutzen Kroes and her fellow angels rocked the runway at one of the fashion industry’s most hotly anticipated events – the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show!

A celebration of all things sparkly, sensual and sensational; being invited to walk the Victoria’s Secret runway – earning your Angel wings – is a sure sign that you have earned true super model status.

But wait… – we here you cry – Didn’t she just have a baby???

That’s right! Incredibly, Doutzen was invited back to don her Angel wings Just a little over 4 months after welcoming her second baby – beautiful daughter Myllena Mae into the world! Her post-baby transformation has been truly amazing! So what’s her slimming secret?… Read on to find out!

Doutzen’s Maternity Style Secret

Of course the super model looked utterly gorgeous throughout her pregnancy, beautiful baby bump and all – Doutzen is a huge Seraphine maternity wear fan, and wore plenty of our styles while she was expecting over the summer. She loved our maternity maxi dresses, styling our Aqua Draped Maternity Maxi for a day out at the park, and even choosing our Crochet Detail Maxi Dress to attend a charity event with legendary trend spotter and head of American Vogue Anna Wintour! A little later on she was spotted out and about looking stylish in our Black Knitted Maternity Cape. And nearing the end of her pregnancy she shared snaps with her 2.1 million Instagram followers wearing our Neon Pink Striped Nursing Tank Top & our Sparkly Nautical Striped Tunic, and just the day before she gave birth she looked fabulous, posting a fun bump shot in our Black Maternity Shift Dress!

Doutzen’s Slimming Secret

Another of Doutzen’s favourite Seraphine styles are the Grey Bamboo Leggings, which she wore throughout her pregnancy to attend pre-natal ballet classes with Mary Helen Bowers of Ballet Beautiful in New York.

And this, it seems is one of the secrets to her incredible post-baby slimming success! Along with a healthy diet, Doutzen stayed fit and active throughout her nine months, attending regular Ballet Beautiful classes to keep her body lean and supple.

This sort of exercise during pregnancy not only helps when it comes to labour, but also makes it easier to shed those extra pounds after baby is born.

The Ballet Beautiful classes are a favourite workout among many of the Victoria’s Secret Angels including Lily Aldridge, Candace Swanepoel & Adrianna Ambrosio. And Mary Helen Bowers herself spent an intensive year training Natalie Portman for her role in Black Swan! The Ballet Beautiful studios are located in SoHo Manhattan, in the very same neighbourhood as our flagship New York store. And while they were in the area for the store launch party, our founder Cecile and some of the Seraphine team met Mary Helen and joined in with one of her classes!

Thank you @balletbeautiful for an energising session today! We ❤️ Mary’s Ballet Baby DVD for a fab pregnancy workout! pic.twitter.com/5jFVBWG7A8

If you can’t make it all the way to New York, you can join in by streaming live or pre-recorded classes direct to your PC from anywhere in the world! Or alternatively, Mary Helen has a brand new range of Ballet Baby DVDs for you to enjoy at home. Designed to help strengthen and tone for a fitter, healthier pregnancy & birth – what a fantastic early Christmas present to yourself!

Find Your NYC Style – Are you a SoHo Mama or a Brooklyn Babe?

New York is one of the true fashion capitals of the world: It’s home to the glamorous, the quirky, the fun loving and the fashionable, and each neighbourhood has its own distinct personality. But where would you and your style fit into the NYC fashion milieu?

The ultra fashionable SoHo district is one of the most stylish shopping hubs in the city. Home to big name fashion houses as well as glamorous independent boutiques, this is the premier choice for a day of serious retail therapy. A stylish Soho mama is always on top of the trends, and knows how to flatter her shape.

For a shopping spree in Soho, style our Blue & Black Striped Cowl Neck Maternity Tunic with our Faux Leather Detail Maternity Treggings.

A hipster haven; Brooklyn is home to all things alternative and edgy. Food here is amazing – made with flavours that are globally inspired, and ingredients that are locally grown. And when it comes to fashion, the hipster mamas have mastered the art of quirky cool.

Team our floaty Floral Print Maternity Dress with coloured tights, boots and a big woolly scarf to walk the hipster walk in style.

Right at the heart of the financial district; there’s nothing like the buzz of Wall Street – where fortunes can be made, lost, traded and won back all in the course of half an hour! If you like to live life in the fast lane this is without a doubt the place to be!

Work a sleek professional polish in our Black Roll-Over Maternity Skirt, teamed with the White Secret Support Maternity Vest and our Black Super Stretch Maternity Blazer. Tell the Wolf to stand aside – The Fox of Wall Street has arrived!

The leafy meandering streets of Greenwich Village have inspired artists, writers and other bohemian spirits for decades. Defying the rigid grid structure that dominates the rest of the city, this is the perfect setting for a relaxing Sunday stroll.

Opt for a romantic floaty dress like our Midnight Blue Tiered Maternity Dress , and pair it with tights, boots and some dreamy bohemian accessories to look the part in the Village.

Whether you’re into basketball, baseball, hockey or American football, world class sports is not hard to find in New York – and Madison Square Garden is a great place to start! Catch a Knicks game, or watch the New York Rangers in action on the ice!

Combat the cold NYC winter with our Black Maternity Puffer Jacket . This sleek and sporty style will keep you and your bump cosy, rocking a chic après ski vibe. Pair it with our Black Roll Neck Knitted Nursing Jumper and skinny jeans to style it out at the big game.

A Charmed Pregnancy: Treat Yourself with Stella & Dot

Your pregnancy is a beautiful time in your life, filled with excitement, incredible joy and new beginnings. It marks a major transition in your life, and the start of your child’s. We can’t think of a better time to treat yourself to a beautiful new piece of jewellery – a celebration of your transition into motherhood.

We can’t get enough of these classic pieces from Stella & Dot; they are simple, stylish and utterly beautiful:

The Blessed Bangle

This timeless silver plated bangle is a beautiful reminder of the wonderful things in your life. Inscribed in English, French, German Italian and Spanish, it reads Blessed, Fortunato, Glücklich, Afortunado, Bonne Etoile. A discreet and delicate piece, which will serve as the perfect reminder of the hope, joy, love and gratitude you feel for your growing baby.

Wear it with: The understated Charcoal Woven Back Maternity Jumper

Together Forever Necklace

The gorgeous Together Forever Necklace is the perfect representation of the unbreakable bond between you and your baby. A chic 14 carat gold vermeil ring intertwined with a smaller sterling silver one: Simple and beautiful.

Wear it with: Our Black & Grey Empire Line Pleated Dress

Tell Your Story in Charms

One of our favourite parts of the Stella & Dot range has got to be the charms. Create your own stunning necklace that’s totally unique to you and your personal journey – you can literally tell your story in charms!

To celebrate your pregnancy we think the Grow charm and the Tree of Life charm are perfect. Or you could choose the sweet Pitter Patter charm, add a disc in sterling silver engraved with your baby’s initial, and accessorise with your baby’s birth stone!

This is the kind of personal piece that you will treasure forever – and if you are expecting a daughter, you could even pass your necklace on to her as an extra special 18^th birthday gift – it’ll be practically vintage by then!

A Royal Trend Setter – Meet our Most Coveted Maternity Evening Gown

Have you ever had a dress so gorgeous that everyone wants to know where you got it? One that turns heads and attracts compliments everywhere you go? Well royal equestrian star Zara Phillips and Sky Sports Formula 1 presenter Natalie Pinkham have, and know all too well the power of a dazzling maternity evening gown!

Some of you may remember that around about this time last year, Zara – expecting baby Mia Grace at the time – looked stunning in our Colour Block Silk Maxi Gown at the Boodles Boxing Ball. What you may not remember however is that at the event, she was pictured looking lovely with her close friend Natalie.

And apparently Zara’s dress made a big impression on her friend, as last week, over a year later; Natalie was spotted wearing the very same Seraphine style!

Natalie wore the stunning blue maternity evening gown from the Seraphine Luxe Collection to a charity dinner held at Kensington Palace for children’s health charity Sparks, and looked utterly gorgeous.

It’s easy to see why stylish mums-to-be can’t get enough of this beautiful maternity evening gown. It is made in luxurious stretch silk and inspired by traditional oriental design, with origami pleats at the front and short kimono style sleeves. The striking colour block style in ultra marine and azure blue flatters every skin tone, and the silk sash ties can be secured at the front or back to highlight the empire waist line, making the most of your blossoming pregnancy curves.

They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery, so we’re sure these lovely ladies wouldn’t mind us taking a little style inspiration from their looks – after all, a gown this gorgeous is simply too good not to share!

Autumn is without a doubt the most exciting season on the fashion calendar, and the very best time for accessorising! There’s something really satisfying in adding those final little flourishes that pull your look together, transforming a collection of clothes into a coherent outfit.

But what are the key pieces to rock this season? We’ve scoured the runways and studied the street style bloggers to bring you our top three must-have accessories for AW14.

Love Loafers

A classic pair of loafers is always a stylish option, but this season they are seriously hot property! Footwear this autumn is all about infusing an element of androgyny into your look, and a sleek pair of loafers strikes the perfect masculine/feminine balance.

Get the look with our brand new range of ShoeTherapy Loafers, and say goodbye to pregnancy back pain while you’re at it! Specifically designed to take the strain out of walking, our miraculously comfortable leather loafers are ergonomically engineered to tackle all the typical pregnancy aches and pains by improving your posture and boosting circulation! Made and lined in supple leather, they will fit like a glove and insulate your feet against the elements – the perfect style for autumn. Choose from our range of classic black, sleek snakeskin and rock chic studded leather loafers and give back pain the boot for good!

Discover the ShoeTherapy Range

Seraphine & ShoeTherapy founder Cecile Reinaud says:

“Being able to offer a fashionable looking shoe that has real health benefits is very exciting, and I hope you will enjoy wearing them as much as I enjoyed developing this new venture. The creation of ShoeTherapy meant a lot for me, as I myself have experienced the discomfort of back ache so I know how incapacitating it can be.”

A Blanket Wrap

As the temperature starts to drop, the fabulous blanket wrap which ruled the AW14 runways is beginning to come into its own – a cozy cover up that’s utterly in vogue right now, AND has the power to transform chilly autumnal mornings into a blissful bundled up extension of your bed!

Get the look with our Striped Bamboo Nursing Shawl – a chic style statement through pregnancy, and the ultimate functional, fashionable nursing cover once baby is born!

An Oversized Tote

When it comes to autumn arm candy this season, there are plenty of trends to choose from – mini trunks, slogans and MacDonald’s motifs anyone? But to our minds the most workable look has to be the oversize tote bag – ultra chic, and roomy enough for all of your bits and pieces.

Get the look with our Tote Baby Changing Bag in navy! This must-have changing bag was sold out for an entire season, but is now back by popular demand, helping you to style out those nappies, bottles and muslins you’ll be carrying around for the foreseeable future!

Happy Accessorizing Mamas!

Winter Style, All Wrapped Up: Choosing Your Maternity Coat

Winter is coming! It may be a little way off just yet, but right now is the perfect time to start thinking about one of the most exciting fashion decisions you’ll make this season – Choosing your winter maternity coat! Your coat will define your winter style more than any other piece in your wardrobe this season: It will be the final flourish to your outfit, and the first impression you make – so make sure you choose wisely! Check out our top 5 tips and discover the perfect winter maternity coat for you.

1) The Neckline

Look out for styles with detailing around the neckline or shoulders – this will balance out your pregnancy curves and draw attention up towards your face. A wide collar or feminine draped neckline is perfect, so our Black Wool & Cashmere Maternity Coat with its feminine draped collar is a great choice. But if you’re broad in the shoulders, be careful to keep the detailing neat and minimal.

2) The Fastening

When it comes to keeping you and your bump cosy, finding a coat that closes over your curves is a must! Wrap coats with self-tie belts work wonders, but why not go one better and invest in a double zipped style like Our Khaki Maternity Parka. You can adapt the fit for before, during and after pregnancy.

3) The Fabric

The trick to creating a streamlined silhouette is to choose a coat with just the right drape. Our woolen coats are softer than ever this season, made in a premium blend of Italian lamb’s wool and cashmere, with a silky inner lining – the ultimate winter luxury!

4) The Length

In the length department it’s all about what suits your shape. A ¾ length coat like our Wool & Cashmere Two Tone Maternity Coat will cover your hips and thighs, and is perfect for showing off long legs. If you’re more petite, long coats may tend to swamp you, so opt for a slightly shorter style – mid thigh is perfect!

5) The Style

When it comes to style – the world is your oyster! A girl will never go wrong with a classic woollen coat, but there are plenty of other options out there. You could work a continental après ski vibe with our brand new Maternity Puffer Jacket, or try urban utility chic with our Khaki Maternity Parka – anything goes!

Happy shopping mamas!
