I always forget about this, but Jones New York has an entire line of machine washable suit separates. I like this pinstriped fit and flare dress, available at Macy’s in sizes 2-16 — it looks comfortable, flattering, and professional. It was $139, but is now marked to $118; Jones New York has it for $109. … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Black Pinstripe Sleeveless Fit and Flare Dress
With my first son, I ignored all of this stuff about teething necklaces — no, I didn’t wear necklaces around him, but I didn’t really want to encourage him biting my jewelry anyway. This time around… well, it’s all a bit different. With a kiddo who is possibly teething early, and super easily distracted, I’m … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Bitey Beads
Happy Monday! I like the look of this highly-rated “crinkle” maternity dress from Tees by Tina. Although it seems suspicious that one size fits women sized 2-10, most of the reviewers really seem to love it. It’s $98 at Nordstrom. Tees by Tina ‘Crinkle’ Maternity Dress (Psst: here’s a dress that is not only less … Read More about Maternity Monday: Crinkle Maternity Dress
I haven’t heard of this brand “Walking Cradles” before, but they’re highly (highly!) rated on Zappos, and these strappy 2.5″ heels are one of their top rated styles. It looks like a comfortable and versatile shoe, and it’s $94 at Zappos. (I’m also a fan of this style and this style.) Happy weekend!

A lot of women feel like they lose a bit of glamour when they become mothers — there are a million reasons for this, including that huge bag of stuff we now have to haul around when traveling with bebe. My own personal items have become so sparse that I suddenly realized, when leaving the … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Berkley Large Clutch
L, a pregnant reader, wrote in to recommend this piece: “I thought I would share with you a great blazer I just got at Target. The tailoring is really nice, it’s washable, and you can’t beat the price! I think it fit true to size and looks like I paid a lot more than I … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Merona Tailored Ponte Blazer
After I delivered my first son, I’ll admit it: I was just in the hospital gown for the entire stay. I heard the same from a lot of my friends — it can be a really overwhelming experience. As I prepared for my second son’s birth, though, I decided to buy this lovely nursing nightgown … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Baby Be Mine Sleeveless Maternity Nursing Nightgown
I like the idea of this “maternity starter pack” — and I know I’ve seen similar but I’m blanking on where. For $76.15, this pack includes a maternity mini dress (probably more useful for work as a tunic top), jegging, legging, t-shirt, long-line camisole, and over-the-bump band (super helpful for those early weeks of pregnancy … Read More about Maternity Monday: New Look Maternity Essentials Pack
I’ve often heard this shoe come up in discussions of comfortable flats over at Corporette, and it’s one of Zappos’ best sellers, so I thought I’d post a link. Mamas, do you prefer flats or low heels to other shoes? Did your preferences change after having kids? Zappos has the shoe in 7 colors for … Read More about Finally Friday: Julianne Flat
I am seriously obsessed with Alexis Bittar’s new collection of lucite, labradorite, and gunmetal accents, and I’m loving this fabulous bib neklace. It’s wearable in pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond… it’ll fit you when nothing else will, and it’ll draw more attention to your face (and away from any bust/stain issues you may or may not … Read More about Everyone Thursday: Lucite – Imperial Noir Link Statement Necklace
Happy Hump Day! This dress comes with longer sleeves too, but something about the proportions of the short sleeves looks best to me here. I like the bright, happy colors it comes in (blue, green, pink, as well as navy, pictured), and the fact that it’s machine washable. It was $65, but is now marked … Read More about Washable Wednesday: Knit Shirred Surplice Dress
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: scarves can be great accessories when you’re breastfeeding, nursing, and beyond. Don’t fit into your regular clothes yet? Scarves help switch it up. Have to breastfeed your baby somewhere public? Pull out a regular scarf to help give you more coverage. Pumping at the office and got … Read More about Feeding Tuesday: Spun Scarves by Subtle Luxury Bamboo Scarf
