Key to sexy while pregnant

Hi there,

Hope you are having an awesome summer week. I have been enjoying this week just as much as the previous. The weather has really been spoiling us and I am actually grateful for some clouds and wind every once in a while. Pregnancy while hot has its challenge. Especially when you’re into your 3rd trimester.

One of the challenges is choosing outfits that accommodate the big bump while still feeling stylish but most importantly comfortable.

Today I want to share with you couple of dresses I picked from https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/ 

I was offered few pieces to review. I will be honest with you. I haven’t heard about the brand before and wasn’t sure if any of their items would work for me. Models on their page are nothing like my body ( I have never had a defined waistline, especially not now ;)) But I decided to approach it with an open mind…. and I realised after receiving the goodies that this is the KEY to finding things you love – OPEN MIND. Even for me, a stylist who knows what works and what doesn’t work for my body type… I need to keep my mind and eye open and keep trying new things, especially while my body goes though a ‘little’ revolution.

I must say, once I received the clothes (2 day, love a quick delivery), I was pretty worried that even though I have chosen a stretchy fabric, the dresses weren’t going to fit. To my surprise they do, it is not a style I would probably think to go for at the moment, but I LOVE THEM. They made me look at myself a little differently and see a different site to Gosia, the one I haven’t felt for a while. So thanks so much FEMME LUXE for bringing my sexy back. Nothing wrong with feeling this way even while preggo, right?

What are your thought guys? Yay or Nay? Share your views?

First one can be found here https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/maxi-dresses/products/black-one-shoulder-maxi-dress-opal

It comes in three different colours and last time I checked, was on sale. I will definitely love it some time post pregnancy too ;))

 

 

 

The second one can be found here https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/view-all-dresses/products/white-bardot-knitted-mini-dress-carmen

At the moment it is super mini for me so I will be adding jeans to it on a colder day and wearing it as a sexy sweater. Super versatile and feels lovely against the skin.

Key to a happy bump – perfect dress

 

Hey there,

Me again with another dress. One dress and so much fun.

I have come to realize that as much as I love jeans, dress is the way to go for me now. Bump is growing by day and nothing gives me the comfort and feel good as much as dresses.

This is my third dress from Blooming Jelly and I LOVE it. You could have seen previous ones on my Instagram page. Each of them was different and each lovely for different reasons. The previous ones were not maternity and I will have to wait till bambino is here and then some to wear them again… this one is the winner for now.

I have ordered and bought few maternity dresses in the past. Many times to be disappointed because not only do I have new curves to get used to, dresses were adding volume, not in a good way… This one really surprised me. I ordered it on Friday and got it on Saturday so that was already exciting ;)) but I love the fabric.. it stretches! Just what I was telling my friends last week that I needed. Hallelujah! so so happy… . Love the way it feels and the way it sits on my body… and the colour obviously (got to love that part ;)). I couldn’t wait to show you guys and style it my way. I could think of at least another 3 ways to wear it but for now I am sharing two.

One dressy and very lady like; baby blue dress with red detail; shoes, earrings and a red lip of course (one of my favourite colour combinations).

Second one for out and about.. what I seem to be doing a lot of lately and it feels awesome. Love my hat and boots to be honest and don’t be surprised to see me wearing this set more often.

As always guys, please share your thoughts, I love hearing from you and I really appreciate when you share my posts with your friends.

Have a glorious day and smile until your face hurts ;))

Love,

Gosia

Key to my maternity style

Hello lovely,

So nice of you to be stopping by. I am so grateful for you and the time you are devoting to read this and/or watch the beautiful pictures.

This time I am sharing with you the incredible results of a fashion-pregnancy photo shoot I had with the amazing Dorota from Dorann Photography.

Dorota chose Johnston Gardens as the place for the shoot and I was so happy with this choice.

The whole experience was incredible, she made me feel very relaxed. I get pretty awkward when being photographed by others and that feeling disappeared after first few minutes.

I am so happy and emotional looking at those pictures. They will forever remain an incredible memory. The fact that we are reaching our 10th wedding anniversary with my husband this year and this is exactly the place where our wedding pictures were taken adds to the magic of the whole experience.

I wanted to wear something that is me, something colourful, because you know what a colour freak I am, and because this is our rainbow baby.

I was hoping that my gratefulness for being in the blessed state will be seen in the pictures and I see it, thanks to Dorota… but I also wanted to show a piece of me, of who I am as a mother but also as a woman. I wanted to show my beautiful growing bump but also parts of me that I love and appreciate. I always talk to you about how you should love yourself and I need to do that for myself too. Every day in an opportunity to remind ourselves of that and today is the day ;))

We have been super blessed in Aberdeen over the past month of so with the gorgeous sunny weather and I have been loving wearing all sorts of dresses. I have also been changing multiple times a day. My husband always laughs that I change 3-4 times every day and I say that I see no issue if I am home and able to do so. I have always loved playing dress up and I now live a life where I can do that for a living… . I also feel that being pregnant adds to that. I mean, most of you pregnant ladies out there will probably be able to relate to the discomfort of itchy skin, sweating, swelling and other totally normal but not always easy to deal with aspects of pregnancy. Back when I was pregnant with Beno, working at the check-in after I grounded myself from flying, I was extremely uncomfortable for weeks, having to wear a uniform, tights right over my bump and sit for hours… .

Now I couldn’t be more excited to channel my inner self and enjoy the outfits I love.

On those pictures I wanted to show versatility of one dress.  I put together few options: one quite formal option (with the red dress over the yellow one, or the black one, through a date with husband kind of an option (short dress on it’s own) to a picnic version. While looking back at last few weeks and now those pictures I realised that this post also represents who I am and can be in one single day 😉

I hope it will inspire you to wear whatever it is you feel like wearing when off work (if you wear a uniform at work like I used to) or at work if you lucky enough to be your own boss. Remember to fall in love with parts of you that need it and have some fun. When I say fall in love with, I don’t mean those obviously beautiful parts. I can now officially say I love my feet. Couple of years ago I’d ask Dorota not to photograph my feet up close, now I am simply grateful to have feet that take me places and allow me to wear incredibly beautiful shoes.

Thank you so much Dorota for the day of the shoot and for capturing what I didn’t imagine was possible.

If any of you look for a photographer, baby picture, family, wedding, party, fashion, branding… Dorota has an experience in all that and more. Check out her page bellow:
