September Style Prep: Top 5 Transitional Must Haves

With September fast approaching, we’ve recently found ourselves eyeing up our tights and Chelsea boots, and wondering… “is today the day?” Our thoughts are turning to those first glorious weeks of autumn – the bright sunny days with just a hint of chill in the breeze.

These in-between days are notoriously tricky to dress for, so check out our top 5 transitional must haves, & prep your September style!

1) Denim Dress

A soft chambray denim maternity dress is the ideal style to transition the seasons. It tends to have a little more weight to it than a regular summer dress and looks just as stylish with sandals as it does with tights & boots!

2) Breton Top

Nothing navigates between the seasons quite like a classic Breton maternity top. Anything goes when it comes to this season-less style staple; pair it with denim shorts and flip flops, then transition the look for autumn with your favourite maternity jeans and a stylish wrap scarf.

3) Cover Up

Don’t give up your stylish summer dresses just yet! Transition them for the new season with a luxury cosy cover up. Our Cotton & Cashmere Maternity Cardigans in cream or soft grey are your perfect autumn allies.

4) Ripped Jeans

A true fashion all-star; a great pair of ripped maternity jeans offers year round style. Turn them up at the ankle & pair with a cute maternity tee when the sun shines, then add a cosy jumper and ankle boots when the weather starts to turn.

5) Nursing Shawl

It’s too warm for a coat, but not quite warm enough to go without altogether… so what’s a girl to do? This is the season for a stylish fashion nursing shawl. Drape it over any outfit to add a high fashion edge and to keep out the chill – discreet cover for breastfeeding is a bonus!

Accessorize Now: 3 Key Accessories for Killer Autumn Style

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!
