The Seraphine Maternity Jacket Loved by the Swedish Princesses

Meet our Cropped Peplum Maternity Jacket; the favourite style of the Swedish Princesses!

 

Over the weekend, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden rounded up her official visit to Peru and Colombia with a trip to the Colombian Gold Museum in Bogotá, wearing our Cropped Ivory Peplum Maternity Jacket! She paired it with a monochrome maternity dress, a stylish clutch and classic pearl earrings – the perfect look for a day of official royal duties.

 

 

And Victoria isn’t the only Princess to fall for this stylish little maternity jacket. Earlier this year her younger sister Princess Madeleine of Sweden wore the Cropped Black Peplum Maternity Jacket for her audience with The Pope in Rome! The smart jacket paired perfectly with her black lace dress and veil, completing the stylishly demure outfit.

Our smart Peplum Jackets are designed to flatter the figure through every stage of pregnancy. Made with a simple round neckline and sleek hook and eye fastenings, the feminine peplum kicks out from the empire line, defining your new shape.

 

 

Princess Victoria has loved wearing her new Seraphine maternity clothes throughout her trip to Peru and Colombia. She looked stunning in a bespoke red maternity dress to meet the Peruvian President, and debuted our Cornflower Blue Silk and Lace Maternity Dress – which will be available for purchase from our LUXE Collection early next year – at a reception with the Mayor of Cartagena in Colombia. She even re-wore the purple bespoke Seraphine outfit that she had worn to her Nephew Prince Nicolas’ Christening, to meet the President of Colombia.

Keeping up with Kourtney Kardashian’s Maternity Style in Seraphine

We’ve always loved Kourtney Kardashian’s flawless maternity style, so we were thrilled to see her rocking a Seraphine maternity dress this week!

Over the weekend the reality TV star styled it out in our Black Bodycon Maternity Dress on her way back from the Bob Hope airport with partner Scott Disick. The couple had been making a flying visit to Vegas to meet up with Bruce & Brody Jenner, and to film scenes for ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’.

As the Eldest and arguably most stylish of the Kardashian sisters; petite socialite Kourtney is photographed everywhere she goes, so her style has to be polished at all times! We think she did a great job with this look, styling the glamorous bodycon maternity dress with a grey chambray denim shirt, a black felt hat, black suede boots, sunglasses and a single gold bangle. The outfit was ultra chic, and comfy for the flight – an important consideration for any jet-setting mum-to-be.

Kourtney Kardashian in Seraphine

Kourtney and her partner Scott are already parents to 4 year old son Mason and 2 year old daughter Penelope, and are reportedly expecting their new addition – another little girl – some time next month!

As a third-time mum, Kourtney has had plenty of time to master her maternity style, and she seems to nail it again and again! She’s never afraid to experiment, and looks equally fabulous in fitted bodycon styles and in flowing maxi dresses. To keep following her style, check out Kourtney’s site – KourtneyKardashian.com.

We love your look Kourtney – keep up the good work!

Twins & Celebrity Babies: Double the trouble, triple the fun!

We want to talk about Twins. The arrival of a new baby in the family is always an incredibly special time, so just imagine what it’s like to have two, three or even more at once – we’re thinking double the trouble, triple the fun!

 

 

With one in every 65 pregnancies resulting in a multiple birth, twins and triplets are on the rise right now, and the celebs – as always – are on top of the trend! Both Beyoncé & Jay Z and Amal & George Clooney are getting set to welcome twins this year, joining the already glamorous list of celebrity parents with twins including Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie to name but a few…

 

Twins celebrity babies

 

And of course a fair few of these stylish celebrity twin mamas have rocked Seraphine maternity clothes! ‘Devious Maids’ star Dania Ramirez chose one of our silk maternity dresses for her baby shower back when she was expecting her non-identical twins John and Gaia.

Stunning Spanish actress Elsa Pataky was a big fan of Seraphine knitwear while she was expecting her fraternal twin boys Tristan and Sacha. We love this picture of her husband, Thor actor Chris Hemsworth playing super heroes with his boys!

 

 

Holly Branson, the daughter of entrepreneur extraordinaire Richard Branson, is mama to twins Etta and Artie. She wore plenty of Seraphine maternity clothes throughout her pregnancy, and loved our Faux Leather Panel Maternity Leggings so much that she continued wearing them after the babies were born.

If you are a mama expecting multiples, you may find that your bump begins to show earlier than your friends expecting singletons – sometimes as early as 10 weeks, so finding maternity clothes quickly becomes a priority! Shopping for maternity clothes online is an ideal option if you’re still suffering with first trimester queasiness, and here at Seraphine we offer free returns on all UK orders!

One thing that all mamas of multiples agree on is that though twins mean a double work load, they also mean double the fun. There’s nothing like watching your twins’ bond strengthen as they grow. They’ll learn to play together, enjoying each other’s company, sharing toys, and even working together to get around mummy & daddy!

 

You also get to be a part of hilarious moments like this!

 

To all the expectant multiple mums out there, we salute you, and wish you the best of luck for your coming adventures!

 

Create A Capsule Maternity Wardrobe for a Long Weekend in St Tropez!

A mystical date for many cultures around the world; this Saturday the 21st of June is officially summer! The sun will be at its highest point, we’ll be enjoying the longest and lightest day of the year, and here at Seraphine we’ve decided to mark the occasion by planning our summer capsule wardrobes!

Yep, from now until mid-September we are officially in summer holiday season, so it only makes sense to be ready to jet off for a bit of sun, sea and sand at a moment’s notice – you know, just in case!

 

So what’s the Secret to creating a Stylish Capsule Wardrobe?

Planning your summer capsule maternity wardrobe is all about choosing basic essential pieces that will coordinate well together, and introducing a few statement pieces in accent colours and patterns. The idea is to be able to mix and match all of your styles to create new looks every day, without exceeding your luggage allowance at the airport!

During pregnancy this clever fashion fix is especially important, as however much you’d like to, it simply isn’t practical to replace your entire wardrobe with maternity clothes. But if you invest in a capsule maternity wardrobe, you will always have stylish pieces to wear that coordinate perfectly!

Suggestions for St Tropez:

So let’s put together an example for a long weekend in St Tropez… hey, a girl can dream right?

First we’ll need some basic bottoms – we love the Blue Denim Maternity Mini Shorts for all purpose day wear, and a good pair of white maternity jeans can be dressed up or down, as can a maternity maxi skirt.

Next we choose some tops. A few basic maternity camisoles in neutral colours will be invaluable, then you can mix it up with more interesting patterned styles like our fabulous Nautical Nursing Top!

Once the basics are sorted, you can start having fun choosing statement pieces that will make your style really stand out. A light maternity day dress is a great idea for easy elegance, and a stunning maternity maxi dress is the perfect style to transition from day to night. Don’t forget a cosy cover up for the evenings and a glamorous maternity swimsuit for the beach. And a striking patterned kaftan is a capsule wardrobe star buy: You can use it as a chic cover up on the beach, style it with shorts and a maternity bikini top for an afternoon lazing on the deck of your private yacht, or wear it as a glamorous tunic over cropped trousers for an evening on the town!

Pregnancy Cravings: Celebrity Mamas & Their Weird Food Wishes

Craving something strange? You’re not alone! Apparently, around 2/3 of mums-to-be will experience strong pregnancy cravings throughout their 9 months. These cravings can be so strange that they make others feel unwell and so strong that you’d be willing to go to great lengths to satisfy them – waking up your other half in the middle of the night to make you a mayonnaise and vinegar sandwich is nothing!

We recently came across this great list on Sheknows.com of the top 10 most commonly reported pregnancy cravings, and it got us wondering about what our favourite celebrities craved when they were pregnant…

 

Jessica Alba

Jessica loves our Grey Luxe Skinny Maternity Jeans

Currently expecting baby number 3, Jessica had a thing for watermelon during her second pregnancy. She explained to Latina: “Sometimes you can’t get a food out of your mind. I could always eat watermelon. With Honor, I loved fruit, too. It’s a decent craving… You still eat cheeseburgers and pickles — you just want watermelon really bad. I don’t deprive myself of anything. I eat whatever.”

 

Whitney Port

Get Whitney’s Look: Under Bump Distressed Maternity Jeans

New mama Whitney welcomed her first baby in July, but before she did, she shared a few of her top pregnancy cravings on her blog:  ‘So, I haven’t really had those TYPICAL cravings like needing to dip pickles in ice cream. But there are a few things that got me through my first trimester and are continuing to be staples in my second.’ She listed all her must-haves, including tangerine Juice, chocolate milk, black olives, and roasted and salted pumpkin seeds among other things.

 

Mila Kunis talks pregnancy cravings – watch the video

Now a mum of 2, Mila shared her pregnancy cravings with Ellen back when she was expecting her daughter Wyatt. Mila was all about vinegar-based foods like pickles and sauerkraut – husband Ashton Kutcher even put together a special ‘cravings fridge’ for her, filled with the stuff!

 

The Duchess of Cambridge

Get the Duchess’ look:  Fuchsia Knot Front Jolene Dress & the Blossom Knot Front Maternity Dress

The Duchess of Cambridge managed to keep most of the details of her pregnancies away from the public eye. But as well as a penchant for Seraphine maternity dresses, she was reported to be craving Haribo sweets and a very specific spicy vegetarian curry from a shop in her home town Bucklebury.

 

Binky Felstead

Made in Chelsea star Binky recently welcomed her first baby – a daughter India Elizabeth. While she was expecting she craved all sorts of naughty things. She revealed to OK! Magazine that she’d been craving ‘Lots of carbs! I can’t get enough of pizza, burgers, fish and chips – anything naughty!’

 

Gwen Stefani

Get Gwen’s Look: Faux Leather Panel Maternity Leggings & Black Maternity Shift Dress

Spring has sprung mamas! With sunny weather just around the corner, now is the perfect time to shake up your makeup, try a new hairstyle and refresh your wardrobe with a few new looks for the coming season. We’ve rounded up some of the hottest SS16 trends in beauty and fashion – so sit back, relax and prepare to be inspired!

 

SS16 Beauty Trends

 

 

After a few seasons of ‘no-makeup-makeup’ ruling the runways, we are pleased to report that the classic red lip is back and bigger than ever! This look united designers and makeup artists across the board with sexy red lipsticks making a big impression everywhere from Oscar de la Renta to Jason Wu and DKNY.

And just in case that wasn’t enough colour for you, blue eyeshadow was the break out look of the season! We saw everything from bold blue liners, to subtle touches, and special mention must go to the powder blue bandit masks at Chanel.

 

SS16 Hair Trends

Good news mamas – the big story this season when it comes to hair is the come as you are trend! This season more models than ever walked the catwalks with their own length, style and texture intact. In fact some of the most talked about models were the ones who dare to be different – think Ruth Bell, Edie Campbell and Peyton Knight. So this season is all about rocking your signature style and letting your hair do its thing, whether that’s tight curls, poker straight or a short sharp crop – this zero fuss all natural trend is perfect for busy mums!

And for those days that call for something a little bit special, the star accessory this season was the tiara! Seen everywhere from St Laurent to Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy and Chanel, if you don’t fancy going full princess on your night out, why not add a stylish embellished Alice band like our Ivy Hair Band to complete your look.

 

SS16 Maternity Fashion

 

 

Wondering what to wear to show off your newly revamped look? SS16 has fashion trends galore – here are just a few of our favourites….

Gingham had a major fashion moment this season – Victoria Beckham, Celine & Stella McCartney all revamped this classic feminine look to fabulous effect. Our Gingham Cotton Maternity Dresses in blush pink or blue are the perfect way to work the look. Along the same lines, Stripes – always a flattering choice for pregnancy – was another style making a splash on the runways at shows like Prada and Dolce & Gabbana. Try our Striped Maternity & Nursing Dress for a bump flattering look that’s perfect for spring.

But it’s not all stripes, checks and geometric prints, Christian Dior’s SS16 show was awash with romantic designs in feminine fabrics and soft pastel shades. Get the look with our Pink Printed Maternity Dress or put a bohemian twist on the style with our off the shoulder Crochet Lace Maternity Dress.

And when it comes to denim, from Chanel’s denim gown to Alexander McQueen’s stunning embroidered coat, this season is all about the statement piece! Pregnant fashion bloggers can’t get enough of our Premium Stretch Denim Maternity Jump Suit, and our Chambray Belted Maternity Shirt Dress is one of the star pieces in this season’s collection.

Work It: 5 Tips for Dressing a Baby Bump at the Office

When you’re expecting, striking the style balance at work can be a tricky business. But here at Seraphine we are here to help! Work your new curves in professional style with our top 5 tips for dressing your bump at the office.

 

Classic black, white and grey are the staples of a smart professional wardrobe, but that doesn’t mean that it has to be boring! Nothing says workwear chic like a little black maternity dress; or why not make a fashion statement in a stylish patterned dress. Seraphine founder Cecile Reinaud suggests choosing one rich colour to mix with your staple black, and accessorising in the same shade.

 


When it comes to choosing maternity shirts and blouses for the office, we love a loose and floaty style that drapes comfortably over the bump. Try teaming our Ivory Maternity Blouse with a pair of our Slim Fit Black Maternity Trousers – the loose shirt is designed to fall beautifully over your figure, creating a stylish contrast with the fitted bottoms which slim and lengthen your legs.

 

You can’t beat a classic maternity wrap dress for pregnancy at the office. These versatile dresses are stylish, comfy, office appropriate, and most importantly, they allow you to adjust the fit to flatter your figure through every stage of pregnancy. Our Black Maternity Wrap Dress is so easy to accessorize – it will be an invaluable addition to your pregnancy wardrobe.

 

Another fantastic styling feature to look out for when building your maternity workwear wardrobe, is ruching. A classic stretch jersey dress with ruching at the sides is guaranteed to see you stylishly through every trimester. Our Printed Side Ruched Maternity Dress is the perfect style for your spring and summer work wear repertoire (and can easily be glammed up for an evening out too!)

 

And of course even the most stylish work wear ensemble will be worn in vain without the correct maternity lingerie to underpin the style. A few supportive maternity bras, vest tops, and a good collection of maternity tights and leggings will help to smooth and support your figure, creating a flattering base for all of your office wear outfits.
