The lovely people at Séraphine sent me this amazing nursing shawl in grey...and they want to offer one of my readers a $100 gift card to their store! Here is some information on the shawl from the website:

Swathe yourself in sumptuous style with Séraphine's genius scarf meets breastfeeding wrap. A maternity must-have, the super soft bamboo viscose blend, drapes beautifully over the shoulders when poppered closed and worn as a breastfeeding shawl. Feed in stylish discretion with the generously cut shawl enabling you and baby to be fully covered in the most luxurious knit. This multi-functioning style can be wrapped around and worn as a super cosy scarf for post-breastfeeding chic or used to swaddle your baby in luxury. The endless possibilities makes this investment one which your wardrobe and lifestyle wont want to be without.

35 weeks pregnant in my nursing shawl!

Super soft bamboo? SOLD! It is ridiculously soft and luxurious and I love this for my pregnancy in late fall and for my early winter baby! I will say though, it was quite warm so I'd either wear a lighter or short sleeve shirt underneath, or save it for the chillier days. It can also be worn, as you can see, when you're pregnant as a shawl or a scarf. Seraphine has lots of options for other nursing clothes and I have always coveted this nursing sweater! I loved how this shawl fell over my body's new curves naturally, I did not feel frumpy at all...and it was a bit breezy so I felt like I was wearing a Super Mom cape!

Review: Séraphine Maternity

I have seen the wonderful clothing of Séraphine Maternity being modeled by a lot of my favorite pregnant bloggers over the last year or so. How I coveted to be wearing their beautiful clothing too, especially since I was expecting! Then, as luck would have it I won a store credit from one of my favorite blogs. I was so thrilled, as we had a wedding just this last weekend and I wanted something new, but also didn't really want to fork over the money to do so!

I ended up choosing this beautiful and sexy in a sophisticated way, two-tone cocktail dress from Séraphine and I am in LOVE! I thought it was perfect for a fall wedding, and though I also loved this black shift dress too, but the two maternity/nursing dresses I already own are all black so I wanted to stray away from all black.

So my review on the dress? GIVE ME MORE! If I had unlimited funds and more than 6 weeks left in my pregnancy, I would fill my wardrobe with Séraphine clothing! Having said that, this dress is worth EVERY penny. This dress was made from 92% viscose 8% Elasthanne material, but to non-fashionista me...it felt like a really nice jersey material, which is every pregnant mama's go-to material in my books! It was SO comfortable. I have worn some empire shirts/dresses in the past where the elastic under the breast eventually suffocates you, but their clothing is so well made that I wasn't uncomfortable at all. I loved how the ruching of the dress hugged and defined my bump...and also made my bum look nice too! There's nothing I can't stand more than that tented feeling where dresses fall over your bump! It makes me feel like I'm wearing a moo moo, so not sexy at all! Also because of the ruching, this dress fell perfectly above my knees and wasn't too short in the front like a lot of maternity dresses are. The v-neck was deeper than I thought, but it was a classy neckline that didn't show off too much cleavage - it was just the right amount! I got a ton of compliments on this dress at the wedding and I really hope that I can wear it again sometime! Heck, maybe I'll wear it grocery shopping today!

A little birdie told me that I might have some exciting news to share with you in a couple of weeks...more to do with Séraphine! Keep coming back to check but for now, you can follow them on Twitter and Facebook.
