pregnancy: lets shop maternity on ModCloth

while i may be avoiding traditional maternity stores and their on-trend designs, i'm still stuck in stretchpants-ville and dying for a vacation. ModCloth may not have a maternity section, but i found a few items that are all loose fitting or made with fabric that provides stretch. ModCloth has a great return policy, so it may be worth seeing just how much these little beauties actually do stretch.

top row: lovable scamp top, a new angle dress

bottom row: causal conviction dress, airport greeting cardigan

pregnancy: lets shop vintage maternity on etsy

i feel as though my wardrobe is down to 3 pairs of stretchy maternity pants and a few seriously stretched out shirts. im having a hard time finding on-trend maternity clothes that i like. so, lets shop etsy vintage. 

top row: 70's granny neck, 50's sailor neck (i would pair both these tops with dark capris)

bottom row: hand embroidered, floral lace (i would cinch both of these dresses just under the bust to create an empire waist)

bought this week

this week was all about ili, except for one super cute hat from zara for baby #4.

top row: thumbprint masterpieces, zara fleece hat

bottom row: zara striped dress, etsy find

diy tutorial roundup: bird kitty cupcake dollhouse

top row: bird mobile, pointy kitty

bottom row: mini cupcake stand, fabric dollhouse

mama gear: pretty nursing bras

these are not your mother's nursing bras.

top row: bella materna, cake lingerie

bottom row: you lingerie, passion maternity

baby gear: baby & toddler girl shoes

there is no doubt that ili's shoe collection outshines my own. she's about to move up a shoe size so i've been scouting around. get ready to sigh with me.

top row: livie and luca, livie and luca

bottom row: toms, ak designs
