Fashion Blogger & Insta-Star Eimear Varian Barry Talks Pregnancy

Eimear Varian Barry is a super stylish Irish blogger and Instagram queen taking the fashion and lifestyle world by storm. She lives in Surrey with her partner Daniel & their gorgeous two year old Saoirse, and is expecting baby number two in March. We caught up with her to chat about fashion, pregnancy and her biggest inspirations.

 

1)      We love your style! Can you sum it up in 3 words?

Simple, androgynistic, structural.

 

A photo posted by E V B (@eimearvarianbarry) on

 

2)      How have you been styling your bump? Are you more of a fitted kind of girl, or do you like to keep things loose and flowing?

Definitely a mix of both! I don’t know what I did without my black maternity skinny jeans during my first pregnancy! I love pairing them with an oversized maternity sweater at this time of year. I have a few knitted dresses which I love to just throw on. I hate anything that restricts the bump or is in any way tight on it.

3)      Do you have a favourite piece from the Seraphine collection?

Yes! The Wool and Cashmere Maternity Coats! I am obsessed with cashmere and love the structural style of these coats. I am wearing a lot of black at the moment, so all three shades go with everything!

4)      What is the best part about being pregnant?

I think the fact that it actually slows you down. At the beginning, I was frustrated by it, but now I can see how much good it is doing for me physically and mentally.

 

5)      Have you had any weird pregnancy cravings?

Not weird, but I am eating a copious amount of apples at the moment!

6)      We are confiscating your makeup bag – you’re allowed to keep three essential cosmetics. What do you choose?

  • Primer- I use the Smashbox primer. It is like silk on your skin and keeps my foundation on for hours.
  • My Lip liner. It does wonders for the shape of my lips!
  • Eyebrow Kit. I use the Benefit eyebrow shaper.

7)      Do you have any beauty or styling tips to share with other expectant mums?

I put oil on my bump as much as I can. In saying that, I use oil all over, to prevent stretch marks. On my boobs, bum and thighs too! I use Eve Lom cleanser which I cannot rave more about. My skin has been breaking out lately and their cleanser reduces the redness and is the best product I have ever used for taking off make up.

8)      Finding the perfect balance can be a challenge – if you could have one super power, what would it be & how would you use it?

Well it’s like every working woman isn’t it? I would love to be able to commit to what I do full time, while also living like the devoted mother in Little House On The Prairie, while also being a more present friend to those who are dear to me. Oh and be able to have the apartment perfect 24/7 and perhaps be able to read a book now and again? And get to shave my legs in between all of that!

 

9)      Who inspires you?

I bought Lynsey Addario’s book this week. She is a photojournalist I have been following for a while and who I admire hugely. Hopefully I will get around to reading some of it soon!

Lynsey Addario

10)   What was the best piece of advice you received when you were pregnant?

It was from my mum and it was just to do my own thing. Not be scared, not do what the book says but what feels right for you. It worked well for having Saoirse, so i think i’ll do the same this time!

Anne Hathaway & Other Celebs Love Seraphine Maternity Coats

Hollywood A-lister Anne Hathaway seems to be sticking to her style and taking pregnancy in her stride. She looked simply radiant this weekend in one of our wool and cashmere maternity coats!

The star wrapped up her blossoming bump in our chic Two Tone Wool & Cashmere Maternity Coat, and couldn’t stop smiling as she stepped out for a casual New York lunch date with husband Adam Schulman. She styled the look with skinny jeans, black patent loafers, aviator sunglasses and a cool cross-body bag.

 

 

Of course Anne isn’t the only A-lister to love Seraphine maternity coats: Latina diva Shakira and top tennis WAG Kim Murray have both worn our Black Wool & Cashmere Maternity Coat and super model Coco Rocha wore our Black Maternity Down Jacket to bring baby Ioni home from the hospital. The Duchess of Cambridge is another high profile Seraphine fan, and wore several of our maternity coats while expecting Princess Charlotte. She looked stunning in the Marina Maternity Coat on her arrival in New York for her first official royal visit to the States, and chose the powder blue Natasha Cashmere Blend Coat to attend to royal duties at home in London.

 

pregnant celebrities love Seraphine maternity coats

 

 

Since announcing her pregnancy earlier this autumn, Anne has never looked happier, and is proving quite a Seraphine fan! She wore our Faux-Leather Panel Leggings just last week – another celebrity favourite, worn by the likes of Gwen Stefani, Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, The Saturdays’ Una Foden and heir to the Virgin fortune, Holly Branson.

 

 

We are loving Anne’s chic, laid back look and can’t wait to see what she wears next.

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 

Maternity coats

 

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 

Seraphine maternity coats - parka

 

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 

Seraphine maternity coats black and grey coat

 

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 

Seraphine maternity coats long line coat

 

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 

Seraphine maternity coats - puffer jacket

 

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!
