Sarah Roemer Stuns in Seraphine Maternity Clothes at a Glamorous Film Premier

Stunning actress Sarah Roemer simply glowed this week in a full Seraphine LUXE ensemble at a glamorous LA film premier. The star looked almost ethereal in the stylish ensemble, as proud husband Chad Michael Murray laid a protective hand over her bump.

 

 

Sarah chose our Champagne Cut Out Lace Maternity Dress, a feminine style with a chic open back. The dress showed off her shape perfectly, and she topped off the look with our Occasion Maternity Coat in a beautiful Champagne boucle weave.

The stylish LUXE Collection ensemble works wonderfully together – each piece bringing out the best in the other. We think it would be the perfect outfit for a smart spring event or formal party.

And Sarah isn’t the only stylish celebrity mama to love our chic lace maternity dresses! Gorgeous actress & blogger Eva Amurri Martino looked equally incredible in the same style at her baby shower, before her son Major was born.

 

 

Sarah and Chad, already parents to their 19 month old son, are expecting baby number 2 later this year, and the word is, it’s a girl!

We love Sarah’s style and can’t wait to see how she develops her look through her final months of pregnancy.

Eva Amurri Martino Shares Her Best Maternity Fashion Moments

Stunning actress and blogger Eva Amurri Martino is one stylish mama, who has rocked some seriously chic Seraphine looks throughout her pregnancy. Eva recently welcomed her second baby, Major James into the world, and we thought that now would be the perfect time to take a look back at some of her best maternity fashion moments…

 

Stylish Nursing Tops

Since baby Major’s arrival, Eva has been taking every opportunity to bond with her little bundle of joy. We can’t get over this adorable picture of her breastfeeding her son, looking totally chic and comfy in one of our striped nursing tops – get the look & team the top with one of our comfortable nursing bras.

 

Just before Christmas she looked fantastic (and so slim!) in our classic Black Nursing Top, which she teamed with a stylish monochrome skirt. A perfect easy outfit for the holidays.

 

Chic Maternity Clothes

And as much as she loves our nursing clothes, she was even more of a fan of our chic maternity clothes before Major arrived! She took our breath away at her baby shower, teaming our Champagne Cut Out Lace Maternity Dress with a chic pair of red heels and matching lipstick.

 

We loved her in our signature Knot Front Maternity Dress – the sea breeze polka dot print she chose worked perfectly with Eva’s colouring, helping to bring out her natural glow.

 

Proving that our nursing tops are perfect for pregnancy too, Eva looked stunning in our Red & White Striped Maternity & Nursing Top for the big reveal of her newly decorated family room. She teamed the top with a pair of chic ripped jeans and sandals for an easy off-duty look.

Made in Chelsea Star Binky Felstead is Chic in Seraphine Maternity Clothes

The first Made in Chelsea baby is on its way, and it’s a girl! Stunning model mama & MIC mainstay Binky Felstead has wasted no time in adapting her enviable wardrobe to suit her new curves, and has been styling her blossoming bump in Seraphine!

 

 

Binky & her Made In Chelsea co-star Josh JP Patterson were pictured last weekend out shopping for baby essentials, accompanied of course by Binky’s faithful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Scrumble.

The glamorous mama-to-be rocked a cool off-duty look for the weekend shopping spree, styling our soft Love No.1 Maternity Sweater with a comfy pair of our Distressed Maternity Jeans. The easy ensemble worked perfectly with a pair of cosy fur-trimmed boots, a black coat & double bobble hat to keep out the January chill.

 

 

Binky is a big fan of the Love No.1 Maternity Sweater, and has shared several pictures on Instagram wearing the style. The ultra-soft, lightweight knit drapes beautifully and fits perfectly into Binky’s signature relaxed luxe look.

 

 

And speaking of laid back luxe, our Grey Marl Roll Neck Maternity & Nursing Jumper was the perfect choice for a relaxed Sunday lunch with family. We love this shot of her snuggled up with her sister and JP.

We can’t wait to see how Binky develops her maternity style over the next few months and into spring!

Zooey Deschanel is Expecting a A New Girl (or Boy!)

Congratulations are in order for New Girl actress and Hello Giggles founder Zooey Deschanel, who announced this week that she is expecting baby number 2!

The star and her producer husband Jacob Pechenik welcomed their adorably named daughter Elsie Otter in 2015, and are now getting set to give her a little brother or sister later this year. Zooey was a Seraphine fan through her last pregnancy, and loved our nursing dresses after Elsie was born.

 

 

She was spotted out and about looking stunning in our little pink and black number just weeks after welcoming her daughter.

Known for her cute and quirky fashion sense, last time Zooey was often seen sporting printed maternity dresses and bright cardigans, so she’ll have plenty to choose from at Seraphine.

We can’t wait to see how Zooey develops her maternity style this time around!

Baby Shower Ideas at Seraphine: Pink & Blue for 2 Beautiful Bumps

Looking for baby shower ideas? This week at Seraphine we threw a surprise baby shower for two lovely ladies from our design team, Iryna and Jo!

Both mamas are due in March – believe it or not, they were originally given the same due date! And we thought we’d take the opportunity to wish them the best and send them off on their maternity leave in style.

 

 

Iryna is expecting a little girl – a sister for her 11 year old son, and for first-time-mum Jo the sex will be a surprise! Both ladies looked lovely in Seraphine maternity and nursing tops styled with blue maternity jeans.

 

Pink and blue baby shower ideas

 

When it came to baby shower décor and catering, a traditional pink and blue theme worked perfectly. Homemade cakes, marshmallows and pink lemonade went down a storm, while matching pink and blue balloons and table ware completed the look. It was pretty darned adorable – if we do say so ourselves!

Talking to the ladies at the shower it’s clear that being pregnant and working at Seraphine certainly has its perks! Iryna said:

“It has been brilliant – it’s a really supportive atmosphere! The best thing is to have access to try on all the samples before they go on sale and to buy pieces you love with the great staff discount! I had my first son 11 years ago and remember how difficult it was to find something nice and comfortable to wear. It has been very easy to dress up the bump for work with the magnificent choice of maternity clothes Seraphine has to offer.”

We are so proud of our lovely mums-to-be, and wish them all the best as they get set to take some time off before their little bundles of joy make their big debuts!

 

Hygge for a Happy Pregnancy: Seraphine’s 5 Top Tips

So first off, for anyone who didn’t happen to receive The Little Book of Hygge for Christmas (and for those who did, but haven’t quite gotten around to reading it yet) – what exactly is Hygge?

Well, it’s a rather lovely Danish concept that roughly translates as cosiness. It’s all about finding ways to stop and enjoy life’s little pleasures; things like dinner with friends, early morning cuddles with the kids, or even just taking a moment to yourself with a nice cup of tea.
Check out our Hygge board on Pinterest
Here at Seraphine, we think that pregnancy is the perfect time to enjoy a bit of Hygge – you’re probably doing it already without even realising it! So we thought we’d put together this little list to offer you some helpful Hyggeligt inspiration…

 

1) Host a Pot Luck Dinner Party

Host a dinner party with friends

One of the best ways to enjoy a Hyggeligt evening is to host a dinner party and invite only your favourite people in the world. You know the ones – your tribe – the people who feel like home without even trying. Don’t worry about catering – simply set the table, and ask everyone to bring a pot luck dish to contribute to the feast. Then sit back, relax, let the evening unfold and the good times flow.

 

2) A Beautifully Scented Bubble Bath

Relaxing bubble bath for pregnancy

There’s nothing like a relaxing soak in a warm candlelit bubble bath to ease away the stresses of the day. Soft music, gentle flickering light, luxurious scented bubbles – it all adds up to an utterly indulgent way to spend an evening. Afterwards, why not take some time for yourself to apply a rich moisturiser or body butter, taking extra care over the bump, then slip into your cosiest pair of maternity pyjamas to while away the rest of the evening with your love.

 

3) Find Your Hyggekrog

A Hyggekrog may sound like some kind of cave-dwelling goblin, but all it really means is a cosy corner or nook. It could be an upholstered chez surrounded by bookshelves, a chic window seat where you can watch the world go by or that particular spot on the sofa that is yours and nobody else’s. Once you’ve found your Hyggekrog, put on a pair of comfy leggings, woolly socks and your favourite cosy maternity jumper. Then curl up with a good book and a steaming mug of hot chocolate – the good kind, with plenty of cream and marshmallows.

 

4) A Country Walk with Family

Why not take your Hygge quest out to the great outdoors! Take advantage of a sunny winter weekend with a frosty family walk in the country. Don your warmest maternity jumper and bundle the little ones up in their hats and scarves, then set out on a wintery adventure. Make sure to aim for a cosy coffee shop or family-friendly country pub where you can warm up afterwards.

 

5) Cuddles with Baby

After baby is born, there is nothing more Hyggeligt than enjoying a quiet moment with your little one. The first few weeks with your newborn can go by in a bit of blur if you’re not careful, so make sure that you take some time to make some memories. Wrap yourselves up in one of our soft knitted nursing shawls or venture out in our best-selling 3 in 1 Maternity Parka to enjoy a bit of quality time bonding with your new baby.

 

Happy Hygge seeking mamas!

 

New Mum Gifts with Fashion Blogger Elena Sandor of Eat.Wear.Travel

Congratulations new mama! Your beautiful little bundle of joy has arrived and here at Seraphine we have a few fabulous treats lined up to help you settle into your new role as mum. That’s right – the style doesn’t stop just because baby is born!

We’ve teamed up with fashion blogger Elena Sandor and her gorgeous new daughter Emma to show you just a few of our must-have new mum gifts.

 

The Stylish Changing Bag

Elena had tried several other styles before settling on our Cambridge Leather Changing Bag. Ours was the only one that not only fitted her needs as a new mama, but also stood up to the style test. She was thrilled with the chic look, and even plans to use it as a smart work bag after Emma is out of nappies. She said:

“The Seraphine Bag I have been carrying for a couple of weeks now, is a dream come true. Designed to look and feel just like a designer handbag, all my friends have been admiring it since it doesn’t look at all like a changing bag. Now I don’t have to hide it under a table, but proudly place it in the center of attention.”

Check out our stylish range of designer changing bags now!

 

The Tummy Tuck Leggings

After struggling with post-baby body image, Elena was thrilled to find our Post Maternity Shaping Leggings. Designed to smooth and sculpt your curves, these leggings provide medium level compression to streamline your silhouette and gently realign your uterus after pregnancy.

“They are simply amazing, tucking in all the unnecessary curves, providing 360° of compression. They are very high waisted going right up to underneath the bust, giving me the confidence to wear my pre-pregnancy clothes again. The material is thick and a bit glossy, perfect to wear under tunics or dresses.”

 

The 3 in 1 Maternity Parka

Get the look - Elena Sandor wears the Seraphine maternity parka

Elena named our clever 3 in 1 maternity coat ‘the parka of the season’! It’s fully adjustable with a drawstring waist, designed to be worn throughout pregnancy and long after baby is born. It comes with an ingenious zip on kangaroo panel at the front that’s perfect for babywearing – it fits easily over your baby sling or front carrier. As far as new mum gifts go, this is sure to be a winner!
“Seraphine has launched the coolest parka ever. Emma really loved it, she slept through our walk in the cold Brasov (mountain town in Romania). This is going to be my go to parka throughout the entire cold season!”

 

Baby K’tan

Baby K'tan loved by celebrities

And the perfect partner for the 3 in 1 parka? It has to be the Baby K’tan baby carriers! Quicker & easier to put on than a traditional wrap, the Baby K’tan is the babywearing sensation that converts can’t stop talking about. Made in soft natural cotton, the Baby K’tan is a celebrity favourite – it’s the ideal sling to team with your parka.

 

The Diana Collection

And it’s not just your style we’ve thought about… The Diana Collection is our stunning range of baby wear, made with your gorgeous little ones in mind. Featuring the iconic Diana Pastel Tartan in soft cotton, cashmere and pure wool, the range is adorable in shades of pink and blue.

“Baby Emma couldn’t believe her eyes when her dress from Diana collection arrived in the post. She loved wearing it for our afternoon mommy and baby quality time.”

The Duchess of Cambridge Celebrates Her Birthday

This week Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge celebrated her 35th Birthday, and we thought we’d take the opportunity to look back at some of her best maternity fashion moments…

While expecting Princess Charlotte, the Duchess enjoyed a winter pregnancy and favoured Seraphine maternity coats and winter dresses for carrying out official public appearances.

 

 

Our Natasha Cashmere Blend Maternity Coat proved a firm favourite with The Duchess, who wore it out on several occasions, styling it with a matching floral dress. The luxurious blend of soft cashmere and springy virgin wool combined with the sleek elegant cut makes this a truly elegant outerwear option, perfect for everyday wear, or any smart occasion. The Daily Telegraph, Red Magazine and Tatler have all featured the style as one of her best fashion moments! 

 

The Duchess of Cambridge wears the Vanessa Turtleneck Maternity Dress

The Duchess made a stunning impression in our Vanessa Turtleneck Black Maternity Dress on her first official visit to New York. Styling the dress with a statement Cartier necklace, it was the perfect look for meeting and greeting the VIPs of the New York creative arts scene, including Jenna Lyons the CEO of J Crew, often known as the woman who dresses America.

While expecting Prince George, The Duchess’ style was all about keeping cool and comfortable in chic summer maternity dresses. She was due at the height of summer, and had a heatwave to contend with through her final weeks of pregnancy.

 

 

Here at Seraphine, we will never forget the moment we first saw those iconic first official pictures with Prince George. Taken by proud new Grandad Michael Middleton on a beautifully sunny day, The Duchess simply glowed in our Fuchsia Knot Front Maternity Dress.

 

The pictures made headline news across the globe and our little pink maternity dress became an instant style classic – a must-have for every mama’s wardrobe.

The Duchess loved the knotted style so much, she chose the Lavender Blossom Knot Front Maternity Dress for the drive home from the hospital with the new baby Prince.

 

 

Kate Middleton is a true style icon and we are honoured that she chose Seraphine maternity clothes through both of her pregnancies.

New Year’s Resolutions: New Year, New Beginnings, New You!

Making New Year’s resolutions is a great way to start the year with a positive attitude & some new goals to strive for. But with a beautiful new baby on the way, this year’s resolutions are sure to look a little different from last year’s. You’re already headed for a dry January, and you certainly won’t want to be losing any weight!

Here are a few of our favourite resolutions for mamas-to-be…

 

Resolution 1: Take More Pictures

Get the Look: Black Maternity Shift Dress

This one’s a no-brainer. Pregnancy is such a special time in your life, and it’ll be over before you know it (even if it may not always feel that way)! Organising a pregnancy photo shoot is the perfect way to make some memories. Treat yourself to some beautiful new maternity clothes, get dressed up, do your hair & makeup, and capture your gorgeous new curves on camera. Of course once your little bundle of joy arrives , you won’t be needing any encouragement to get the camera out!

 

Resolution 2: Get Active

Staying active through pregnancy is a great way to help prepare your body for the physical demands of labour & caring for a newborn. Whether you decide to hit the gym, join a pregnancy yoga class or get out for a gentle jog, a little exercise is guaranteed to boost your mood and your energy levels. Check out our selection of stylish maternity sportswear & yoga gear.

 

Resolution 3: Eat Well

You’re eating for two now – and with a baby on board, it’s more important than ever to make sure you’re getting your 5 a day along with plenty of pregnancy-friendly vitamins, minerals & nutrients.

For more info, check out our post on healthy pregnancy eating habits

 

Resolution 4: Get Nesting

Babies come with plenty of stuff, so now is the time to harness those nesting instincts and have a good spring clean before he or she arrives. Take the opportunity to de-clutter, tidy and organise your home – you’ll have plenty on your plate once baby is born, so seize the moment & do it now while you have the time.

 

More Me-Time

Last but certainly not least, make sure that you take some time out for yourself to relax, recharge & indulge in things that make you happy.  Whether it’s a trip to the spa, a lazy weekend brunch or even just a  quiet afternoon to yourself, that brief moment will work wonders for your mood & your energy levels.

 

Whatever your resolutions, we wish you a healthy, happy New Year mamas!
